    Everyone is already against Iran seeking nuclear weapons. Who is there to convince that this is reasonable? It isn't just the US that is against Iran on this issue.

    I wasn't talking about accessibility.
  3. beowulf
    Only those people that are already on the US's side of the debate would see that.

    Cool ... so when is America planning on starting yet another war? It's good to know that America holds the moral ground on the entire world and that they can invade any country whenever they wish for whatever reason they come up with. No country anywhere on this planet holds the moral ground.

    Nothing ever EVER gets resolved in public debates. I personally consider public debates to be a waste of time. I really don't understand why people place any importance in them. Why would they choose one opponent over another just by a public debate. All that shows is that one person is a better speaker then the other. Nothing of importance gets resolved. Nothing specific is actually brought up. All they are trying to do is one up each other in the eyes of the audience. All the real diplomacy and negotiation is done behind closed doors.

    Of course there is! He'll be debating a leader of another nation, and, if he does a respectible job at it, he might get some more support. He's got nothing to lose. Have you seen the interview with the Pres of Iran? He isn't going to answer any hard questions. Nothing will be resolved.

    There is nothing for Pres. Bush to gain from a debate with Iran's leader.

    You really gotta be kidding with this Right? All the swoopers I know have excellent accuracy skills. Ya gotta be accurate to hit those gates consistently.

    NO I don't think the night jumps should be omitted. Quit whining about the night jumps and just do them. Night jumps aren't that hard.

    It won't be easier to edit video in Premiere.

    Thanks It's fun to see someone else's point of view on their first couple of jumps.

    Hey PilotDave could you copy and paste it anyway. I don't have a membership to AOPA.

    Do black people smell like chocolate? Just ask Ray Nagin

    Bill! don't you understand that all the proof needed is the Bible???! That should be clear by now.

    I see things slightly different. I think if you jump with an AAD you need to take into account all of the constraints that come with the AAD. Specifically you need to keep in mind what conditions will cause it to activate and make sure that you avoid those conditions by either avoiding them or making adjustments to the AAD. So in that regards I don't think it is advisable to just turn on your AAD and forget about it. Read all the information available on your specific AAD and go over in your mind how and what situations will cause it to activate.

    I have the clear lenses so that I could make use of them on night jumps. The frame doesn't seem to hold up all that well to the stresses of skydiving. I have broken one frame and just about finished with my second frame. But since the frames are cheap I will just buy another set of frames and keep the lenses.

    I have the G117. It has worked great for the last year or so.

    I don't own an AAD therefore I don't jump with one. The times that I have jumped with an AAD I didn't turn it off. I am ok with the added risk of not having an AAD. That is my only reason. If it bothered me I would buy one. I am 33 years old. You can call me foolish if you like. I have been called worse things.

    Good point piisfish. Iceburner if you want this to be accurate then why compare the total number of car accidents to the total number of jumps made? Are you trying to say that a jump is the same as a car accident? See how silly that is? If you were to compare the number of skydiving accidents to the number of car accidents and then compare the percentage of fatal skydiving accidents to the percentage of fatal car accidents then you would have something worth talking about.

    I really don't think that there is a correlation between the police chief's religion and the rise in crime. I think it has to do with other factors like officer retention, pay, training, and numbers. To blame her religion is to fall into the same superstitous trap that she is in.

    I don't have kids, but I can see your point and would agree with you if I did have kids. I really don't understand why people have to attribute things they don't understand to a supernatural being. It's ok to just say 'I don't understand it'. Instead they have to blame the devil or God for everything they don't understand. It's a very superstitous way of looking at the world.
  25. beowulf
    This kind of stuff always strikes me as very superstitious. I think it is funny. Other then that it really doesn't bother me much.
