  1. Given that this pertains to this particular forum, and wouldn't be applicable to the others, I thought it best posted here. I'm open to suggestons on where to stick it, though. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  2. Should people be allowed to post anonymously in the incidents forum? What say you, and why? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  3. Marketing smack.... just like the boxers. I like it! Will the jump be at "high noon" Is the DZO paying well?
  4. On a tandem I broke my right humerus when I went to extract the drogue...Wound up deploying the reserve and talking my passenger through flying and landing just like a solo first jump student. After they rebuilt my arm and it healed enough, my next 3 jumps were spent practicing flying the canopy with one hand, just in case it ever happened again. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  5. Screw the weight belt....you just need to learn how to arch harder. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  6. Is not the sum total of the mass in a particle/anti-particle annihilation equal to zero? That's my understanding, yes. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  7. Well, he seems like an honorable man. I'll try not to let his belief "god" change my opinion of him..... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  8. Who ever told you that? Annihilation or fission explosions are examples of matter being destroyed. My Physics teacher in high school(Yes, in the stone ages) I think he called it "the law of conservation of mass." It's my understanding that matter can be converted to energy, or vice-versa, but not destroyed. -Shamelessly stolen from a physics forum "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  9. I agree..."Matter can neither be created nor destroyed...." I personally think there have been many cycles of explosion, expansion, contraction,and implosion. Repeat ad infinitum... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  10. It's something we don't know yet....but eventually we will, just like lightning, the northern lights, gravity, etc. Simply because we don't understand something yet, doesn't mean it's supernatural. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  11. Yes, I know you said "spirituality"(whatever that means), but the church has been on the wrong side of the truth for a long time. I have a feeling you won't read it, but if you did, you may find this enlightening. http://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/religion_and_science.html "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon.

  12. Hello!!! My name is linda I am tall ,good looking, perfect body figure and sexy. I saw your profile in www.dropzone.com and was delighted to contact you, I hope you will be the true loving, honest and caring man that I have been looking 4, And I have something special to tell you about me, So please contact me directly through my address lindedwin7@yahoo.com so that I can also send my picture directly to you.

  13. You're right...Most of the studies dealt with IQ, not education level. My bad. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  14. can you back this up with data? i don't believe it. for example, my wife has a fair amount of education, and the more she learns, the more she's convinced there is a god. even some well known physisists, possibly some of the smarted and well educated people on earth believe in god. Back it up? Here ya go. It's a lot wider than just creation, too. (No, I'm not calling your wife an idiot) http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-thinkingchristians.htm Here are studies that show an inverse correlation between education level and religiousity. Glad to be of service!
  15. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... maybe I don't sort my laundry very well and I did forget to pay my cable bill this month, but otherwise I don't feel there's anything "wrong" about my life. Can I have a cookie before I go to the institute? Just for clarification, Labrys... You responded to me, but the homophobic quote above was actually from my friend, Chadkal's post. He and I have very different opinions on the matter. I'm just sayin', ya know... I don't want to go down on the wrong side of history on this thing. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  16. So Chad, when, exactly did you choose to be heterosexual? Was it that thing with the Barbie Doll when you were six? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  17. Fuck yeah! Just like Hitler did! Oh crap!! Does Godwins Law apply here? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  18. (pinching your(face)cheeks)..."You're such a good christian boy...." Lol.... I know we can joke about it, Chad.... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  19. This is how I define the situation. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  20. Of course you're not. I bet you "even have friends who are gay"... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  21. I feel for you, you seem having a hard time adapting to this. It's going to happen, with or without you. Question is, what side of history will you be on? Will it be on the side that wanted to continue the oppression of homosexuals, or the side that helped affect a righteous civil rights change? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  22. Off topic, but it made me think of this song... http://www.dosgringosrocks.com/music-1.html "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  23. Marriage is a civil matter. If you don't get it, it's because you don't want to. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  24. And if you're black and can't vote, just be black and go home!How dare you suggest changing the rules!! Yes, the rules will change...It will take people brave enough to make history, just as it always has, to make civil rights history. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  25. I agree!! Let's keep this thread going!!
