  1. that is it, Deucey just needs an html refresher, but if you order from there he will hook you up with the 2004 vid... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  2. a great story, and sadly yet another example of people tampering with reality to attempt to make a 'more emotional' picture.. a lie, even with the best intentions, is still a lie, and so demeans the actual event it attempts to commemorate ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  3. So you say, so it must be true. when the federal government WILL NOT ALLOW any independent organization to conduct a study, their bias is blatant and obvious..... they are already well aware that such research would contradict years of demonization and dogma on their part hell, many drug policies and public retoric STILL quotes "Reefer Madness" (indirectly) as a source... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  4. oh yea.. now there is an impartial study... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    its not a popping sound.. apparently its an actual gunshot they used for the sudden opennings... it was on in the hanger during a weather hold recently.... everytime a chute openned someone cluched their chest and fell over.... soon everyone was on the floor.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. falls in love i've never been quite sure why anyone numbers their carves around the sun, but it IS a good excuse to party hard.... (for those who need excuses) congrates! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  7. hmm sounds like your average 'skilled tracker' dive to me... but oh well... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  8. wasnt around for the finale but some of the work ups looked fucking incredible even from the ground.. and we fun jumpers LOVED the extra altitude...
  9. hmm what is the potential that two separate but related 'half' conversations are taking place at the same time.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. i already want my money back..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. BIG maybe... some of the most productive, most intelligent people i have ever met smoke when they are not on the clock... what you do on your own time should be exactly that.... YOUR own time... "the man" does not pay you 24/7 ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  12. amen. thanks for your time and sacrifice Lou... one day (perhaps) our leaders will respect and deserve it... be safe and enjoy your rest for as long as they allow it..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  13. no but somedays i go out to the DZ and all the people (and its really more about the people and the shared experience than the actual jump) are busy or simply gone... i guess its the difference between feeling 'at home' with your friends and feeling that you are simply 'a customer', and while i can accept it as part of a continual change, i cant say i like that feeling AT ALL when it happens... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  14. perhaps you should look up the etymology of the word 'sinister'?? oh wait.. preconceived ignorance is bliss isnt it?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  15. if time is the only measure, you are entirely correct... which just makes life that much worse for us on the ground NOW... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  16. not really, that is simply a fallacy often used as a scare tactic....look at the record for prohibition to see the 'real' anticipated effects.. if you imprison people for WHAT THEY DO, as opposed to what they might POTENTIALLY do, then we wouldnt have so many issues at all, and a MUCH lower prison population... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  17. cool! but if you break it when your to drunk to drive home you should buy a new one... or at least pay up in "trade" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  18. skip the shower... "apparently" (i've had to sit through several discussions and one
  19. the commerce law should not be invoked at all as it is not being sold across state lines, but by supporting states rights the SCOTUS would be undermining years of demonization efforts and an entire agency's budget (DEA) that simply wont happen in today's political climate... the DEA has to do everything it can to pretend drug users are as much a threat as terrorists to maintain their obscene levels of funding and jurisdiction... even though he has a life time appointment, the 'perks' still come from appeasing those in power... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  20. it doesnt bother me at all... what bothers me more is that drug testing policies encourage individuals to partake of the substances that are either completely legal (and then take them to an extreme for the same 'effect') or simply difficult to detect by 'standard' testing... ALL of which have a more significant impact/effects on the user and their mental state than the one most 'blamed' ie. Marijuana i would MUCH rather that my AFF instructor smoked himself to sleep than drank himself into oblivion the night before...... neither of which should be engaged in DURING, but one of which has SIGNIFICANTLY higher long term effects and addiction rates... random drug testing isnt much more than the 'feel good' measures imposed by the TSA.... it looks good in the headlines, but does very little to make you any safer at all.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  21. Tom, it must have slipped your mind that 'conservative' used to mean the government DID NOT get involved unless absolutely nessesary... now they call us 'Libertarians' and it means you are completely unappointable and unelectible... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  22. this just needs to be said again... i'd happily call myself a conservative, if conservative still meant as little government involvement in its citizens lives as possible.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  23. "intelligence" is what it has always has been... "analysis" as applied in the geo-political spectrum has changed... many many politically embarrassing decisions are simply swept under the rug by the use of the word "secret" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  24. the 'studies' that reported that were about as impartial as a christian who goes to look for God using the bible as his sole source..... they had their answers before they conducted a single test... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  25. if you can buy it in a pawn shop it means exactly what you paid for it.. the 'badge' itself is a personal accomplishment... the physical representation of it is simply an item to be sold... berets suck all the way around... i'm glad i no longer have to deal with such a non functional piece of head gear at all... for that reason alone the general adoption of the beret is stupid... a week in garrison under the sun and you will hate it too, for the ridiculous tan line it leaves if nothing else... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
