Skydivers and Morality: A Practical Discourse
Zenister replied to skyhigh57's topic in Speakers Corner
I, for one, would want the party to go on if I go in. Celebrate my memory, or the fact that you'll never have to deal with me again, whichever suits your particular fancy... but don't have everyone scurry off and huddle in some fucking corner. And I hope at least one lonely soul gets a sympathy fuck as a result of my death. In fact, the more, the merrier. amen... you arent going to be doing me or anyone else any good by finding me.. i will still be there in the morning...... its not as if you might reach me in time to help... so let the living enjoy their continued existance and raise a glass to those who can no longer say the same..... in actual fact i've long since made arrangements for my 'post-mortem' party, and i'd be pretty annoyed with anyone who thought finding my corpse by staggering around in the dark instead of celebrating life was somehow 'helping me' it isnt a "moral" decision at all... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -
Saddam accepted UAE exile plan to avert Iraq war

What an ugly thing to say about the duly elected commander and cheif of these United States Of America. I'm literally shocked. winning a popularity contest to become the 'leader of the free world' does nothing to change the basic nature of the man... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -
broken femur? advise on getting back again please!
Zenister replied to wilcox's topic in Safety and Training
less than four months.. i used a hammock as a great physical therapy tool.. it allowed me to put as little or as much of my body wieght directly on the leg to build strength back.. my personal standard for jumping again was being able to run 2 miles in a reasonable time (18min for me YMMV) with only minor discomfort.. ie no pain.. after that i figured i'd be able to take a hard landing if i HAD to PLF on that side again... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -
not true.. believing he WANTED them and would use them IF he had them is not the same as believing he HAS them.. the shelf life on the WMDs WE SOLD him had long since expired under ideal storage conditions.. Iraq could in no way maintain ideal storage conditions... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not very hard at all.. in college a friend and i prepared to stage dual hanging (ourselves) in the 4 story stairwells during Exams as a performance art piece... we had confederates ready to stop the paniced phone calls and quietly calm anyone who freaked so as to continue the performance as long as possible... unfortunately 2 days before we scheduled a disfunctional freshman decided to shoot himself on the green... so our performance was suddenly declared to be in very bad taste... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

although you might not have noticed if you haven’t been paying attention to history, it’s influence has fallen GREATLY since the rulers (and later the general public) recognized that the 'authority' of the church extends only as far as they allow it, and that nothing claimed by the Church as "Divine Law" is in fact, anything more than a primitive means of arbitary social control, one that has since been thrown out by every country on the planet... Catholicism’s continued decline is largely due to its inability to adapt to the change in society, and the continual expanding recognition that very little of what it claims as "Truth" holds up under rational examination socially, philosophically or religiously.. oh.. and btw..you might be interested to note that knowledge is both Progressive and Cumulative.. (if you bother to read what has come before instead of banning/burning the books and their authors for heresy, heresy that both contradicts the teaching of the Church and is later PROVEN to be TRUE so much for a direct line to God eh?? perhaps the Pope should switch to Verizon.. ) the Church you praise so highly is still trapped in the dark ages.. particularly when it comes to issues such as Birth Control...sing with me.... "Every Sperm...." and yes, the sooner the rest of the uneducated, unenlightened masses throw off the religious indoctrination imposed apon them by 'the Church' and learn to see God for themselves (as more and more 'born Catholics' have and do everyday) the better the entire planet will be... it is an archaic social structure.. dying a slow death like all such outdated belief systems (without the power and money it seized in the middle ages it would be long since dead) but the true believers will fail to recognize how little real influence they have until it is FAR to late... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

One plus about Eloy is the amount of light in the actual flight chamber.. lot of wonderful natural light coming in during the day and well at night as well.. particularly when compared to the cave like settings of Orlando and Perris... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

from your post here it is very clear you don't have clue 1... sorry... your experience is more limited than you think. that's about all I can say to you, nothing gets through... actually i'm up to clue 3000.. at that point i recognized Catholicism was a lost cause, a dead end belief system, that while may fund a large number of hospitals and charities (i will admit it does SOME good) is stuck in the Middle Ages in its understanding of human nature, behavior and religious needs... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I live here, so i'll be in and out all throughout the Xmas break.... as i have to pass Skyharbor to get to Eloy i'll be happy to pick up anyone that arrives on a day i'm travelling down... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i havent missed any of the thread.. its mildly amusing to watch you have fun with arbitrary numbers, but thats about it... and i'm not being negative.. you seem to be inclined to completely overlook all the faults in your Church, and there are a great number of them.. the Church is a far different thing than the Faith... even for Catholics.. and has become a self serving institution, a machine that grinds from nothing to nothing and continues to produce damaged individuals in its wake... i'm quite sure there ARE some few who followed every dictum to the letter and never strayed, however a simple flip thru my school books reminds me they were clearly in the minority... no matter how pretty they dress up on Sunday... i know where they were Fri/Sat... and i know how damaged they've become because they've been indoctrinated with guilt over the expression of their natural feelings... teaching guilt from birth is a fundamental flaw.. period... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

... including "wrong," "tainted," "skewed," "distored" and "Experienced" which outweighs your opinion of what Catholicism SHOULD be.... not SHOULD... IS... so do you believe that every 'anti-catholic' poster here is MAKING UP their experience? take your blinders off, there is a very real reason for those experiences, and the LARGE number of people who hold the same view as BV and myself is proof that there is something rotten inside your Church...and it continues EVERYDAY in Catholic Learning Institutions.... it is directly related to the conduct, codes and practical application of Catholic upbringing, no matter what you believe your Church 'really is'.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

sex education is more than a 'private family affair' it SHOULD be MANDATORY by 9th grade in public schools.. if you wish to teach your kids something 'different' from the basic facts you either teach them about it before hand, or send them to a private institution where they can recieve whatever religious indoctrination you desire... however popluation control, and sexual responsibility are Public Social issues, not private family ones... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

actually, it smacks of a very real experience with the practice of real world Catholicism through its institutions and is a good analysis of its affects on the mental preconceptions it indoctrinates in otherwise ignorant (aka inexperienced) humans.... it is also DIRECTLY responsible for the rebellious archtype it creates aka the "Catholic School Girl" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

up to 2 kids? no problem.. but if you already have 2 kids or become pregnant with your second, the welfare should cease unless you have yourself sterilized.. i've got no issues with anyone's desire to have children, or the need for social support at time.. HOWEVER... i dont believe society should continue to pay for those who create excessive burdens they cannot support themselves ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

same topic, it came to be because the SC determined that state laws against abortion were unconstitutional. but if you read up you'll see you reference it more often than any other poster... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Airline jet fly under during freefall
Zenister replied to dixieskydiver's topic in Safety and Training
does this apply to military flights as well? I once saw 2 F16s blaze by me slightly above (but offset by a good bit) as i deployed.... wish i'd had a camera that day.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
