bah, the point in living is not to save lives, or you could spend your on the couch and there are some who would certainly suggest the government MANDATE you do so... it amazing how quickly the desire to make the world 'safe' for everyone else appears when someone’s personal experience of another’s pain makes them realize people do DIE and so to avoid having to inconvenience themselves with some emotional distress they’d rather restrain and regulate everyone else’s behavior …but really there is an easier solution, simply Dont Go to the Dropzone, you wont have to experience death quite so regularly and perhaps you’ll be able to let others continue to experience life without your mandates, restriction and regulations. We've enough of big brother telling you when, where, how and why every where else in life without you bringing it to the dropzone where you willingly take your life in your own hands every jump. It isnt your place to decide for anyone else if skydiving is worth it, yet simply because you have had to suffer through some sideline emotional pain you make the assumption that is is not for everyone else???? Well it might not be for you, but don’t make that assumption for any and everyone else who jumps or who has ever been injured/killed in the sport. the self discipline, self regulation and freedom to chose your own fate have always been apart of skydiving...but the key word is SELF, you decide what risks you take, what gear you use, how you fly it and how it is maintained, not me, not your mother, and certainly not any government agency. If your not comfortable with your family living through the possibly ‘untimely’ event of your death, you are in the wrong sport. The more you try to make it ‘safe’ by governmental mandate and regulation, the fewer of your friends you’ll have around anyway, they will have abandoned you to the control freaks and gone off to BASE. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i can remember drinking about half a glass of wine the first week i was in Germany. It was in a restaurant so I've always assumed it was legal. I'd drink every now and then in celebration of something or another till around 13 when i was allowed to drink whenever I wasnt at school etc...one of the reasons i've never been an alcoholic is i usually want a reason to drink/celebrate instead of simply getting hammered......although on occasion a good hammering is lovely and reasons arent hard to find if your looking... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

should i vote yes because i was 'drinking' at 9, or no because it was legal in Germany? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

where exactly does is say they 'cant' use whatever color they wish? what ever color they believe is most effective for whatever reason? this is someone making an issue over teacher preference and look how the alarmists react? whats funny is the attempts to dismiss color and behavior theory...red DOES contribute towards aggressive attitudes.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you know thats the first thing i thought of when i read the thread title... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

riiiight because we totally need someone to mandate every teacher use a red pen.... if the marks are consistent wtf do you care if it's red, green, orange, or purple?? the fact that someone is trying to make an issue of a change in color usage is what is assine exactly...but look at how bent the majority of people get because teachers have started to prefer colors other than red for marking papers??? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hmmm being a very young metal head most of what i'm seeing listed for Metal/Rock/ early Rock was kind of a 'given', it was always around, always been played by the people i hung with.... transformed?? that is a different set entirely...... Bitch's Brew, Kind of Blue Miles Davis Jaco Pastorious and Weather Report blasphemy Dave!! Charles Mingus... Charlie Parker... in Jazz i finally found music that 'turned of the metronome' in my mind.....

O my Fav is "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" welll yea but most people cant sing a few verses of that one... and i'm not sure it has the same 'cleansing' effect as werewolves..have to try it next time... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

cheating by holding a key down doesn’t count... there is no correct for preemptive 'error' in this test .231 when i first tried, like any test you can train for it, and the longer delays in this one can cause one score to be significantly slower when you miss it .211 after 4 tries 33 male i've been told that 1/20th of a sec (.05) was the limit of human perception. Anything faster than that would be perceived as 'simultaneous'.

no jumps on it yet a distrust of velcro from skydiving (everything in its place i know), the way big wall & wingsuit BASE vids make my heart pound, research from here, elsewhere and the man that made it, convinced me 2 pin was the way to go.... its hanging in the corner now, ans soooooo needs a canopy... but then being grounded atm would be even more tedious with two rigs mocking me.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

one of them had to have video review to be seen, it was missed by the entire panel, the other mistake was 'caught' but told to wait..... if it had been addressed properly when it was first noticed this would be a non-story and the Korean would have won. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
