  1. "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" Um... Zen? "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is in the Declaration of Independence, not the constitution. The Declaration of Independence is not mandatory authority for courts. but is often cited for intent. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  2. abortion is a constitutionally protected 'Right" because the mother has the "Right" to self determination, free of government interference in matters of health care. that means she can legally decide what medical procedures are best for her. Not you, not me, and certainly not the State. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  3. "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" Life? Thanks for proving my point! you miss the point entirely.. a fetus has NO RIGHTS apart from those granted it by its mother... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  4. "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  5. i think it also powers the Ft. Bragg "PT dome".. i've never seen the rain stop for exactly an hour a day so often anywhere... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. if you add up his actual attendance days he is still short... of course since his 'political assignment' is somehow counted he completed, but its a very cherry sham spot for what was a 'champagne' guard unit in the first place... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  7. this is key.. particularly for taller people or anyone that does a variant (but still regulation) push up and may get the shaft by DIs who misapply 'the standard'. Best bet is to do 'perfect' push ups to the minimum then crank out the rest however is most efficient for you.. when i went we trained by working on consistent 28 min 4 mile times. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  8. why is her ignorance of technology and appropriate back up procedures in anyway the DZ responsibility? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  9. Don't lie. Remember what LDRSHIP means? that the US Army cant spell? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. and you've never seen an incorrect LES? you havent been in long enough then... but the point is you trust Govt records for what they are or you do not....not checking your personal records for accuracy is YOUR issue, (or in this case GWB's issue..) unless disputed they are accepted as valid... simply saying 'the records are not accurate' without evidence to back such a claim is a cheap cop out.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. no its about performance.. either you show up or you dont, either you fulfill your obligations to serve or you dont.. our CINC didnt, he skated by and was ignored because of his father's position... is that he kind of leadership example you respect? guess its a good thing the rest of the reserves dont have the same level of dedication our CINC did... such a fine example for a leader to set... and if he can do it, why shouldnt anyone else 'take off' for whatever reason they deem sufficient? how is your 'proof of attendance' anymore valid than his if Govt Records are suspect? this thread was heading to SC from post 1.. get over it... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  12. so how do you feel about the CINC? have you seen his reserve attendence record? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  13. FF2 will narrow the shell for you if you have a smaller face.. there are at least 2 at eloy like that now.. I've got a large RAWA but wear a Med Aviator so shell sizes are kind of confusing.. i'd definately recommend trying on several before ordering.. there are lots of both FF2 and RAWA at Eloy most weekends.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  14. follow the example of our 'fearless leader' and simply dont show up.. it helps if you have friends in high places that can provide a convenient political cause you can pretend to support instead... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  15. I once had a DZO tell me everytime she heard one of our half baked idea's about waterballons, paintball guns etc in freefall/under canopy.. "I always imagine myself thinking backwards from the police report...." it doesnt take very long to see how many things are simply really bad ideas from that perspective.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  16. particularly if they havent been to Eloy's yet
  17. hardly.. no one has any credibility in the SC other than what is contained in their posts.. your response shouldnt be based on WHO the poster is, but instead on WHAT they actually posted. of course i guess its important for you to assign them to 'one camp' of the other before actually reading their posts... that way you can predetermine what you think about it... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  18. why? its irrelevant in the SC where expressed opinion is all that matters, not skydiving qualifications.. those who scream for ID in here usually just want a better target to attack when they cant address the content.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  19. Blues and Rock with several other bizzare influences, but i've got to mention the Southern Comfort Blue Band ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  20. i've got half a set of "yard darts" when i was 'back home' a few months ago i noticed all the merry-go-rounds had vanished from the parks across from my high school I guess kids now dont get to learn the joys of centrifical force.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  21. no idea how your coming up with the rates for eloy.. but based on my experience your numbers are WAY high ... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Happy Ramadan

    what's to dislike about ramadan? you skip meals and pray a lot.... doesn't that sound like fun? actually you dont skip any meals, you fast while the sun is up.. when the sun goes down the party is on.. Ramadan is a time of contemplation and celebration. Everyone should make a point to observe it once in their life (as well as several other major religious rituals) its a very interesting way to learn about yourself and other religons ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  23. you mean her lack of qualifications??? there is no means to measure ANYTHING about her judicial opinion as she has none.. she is completely unqualified. The entire reasoning behind her nomination stems from her relationship to Bush and her gender. Roberts had at least served as a judge, and has the requisite experience and (however brief it may be) legal record and writing to be reasonable evaluated... while i believe nominating a 'new' member of the highest court in the land to the position of chief justice is an arsine practice, he at least has served in the primary role he was nominated for.. she has no judicial experience whatsoever.. another fine example of piss poor leadership and policy from the current administration.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  24. yup.. was a bit early... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  25. so.... since this is at Perris... is she grounded? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
