I don’t think these things are that impressive to non-skydivers. Without knowing how difficult certain activities like these are it is difficult to appreciate them*** oh come on....even to a non jumper I would think it totally blows out say...."curling"..... if that fucked up ......---> I wont even call it a sport...."event" can make it... then fuck it, skydiving is a shoe in.... "eventually.."......lol hopefully... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Kegs of Skydiver Blonde will be on tap. *** dohhh........ hmmm, I just may be able to make it

sick man...really sick... yer probably drinking a bottle of turning leaf with it huh?...... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

hahah, I think the fatality rate is still 100 Percent for both sexes..... :-D love them "experts" Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

I wonder if requiring 4 years of Military Service as the path to citizenship *** I believe there is a path to citizenship that uses this method I think this would be a excellent requirement, hell ... I would support all americans being required to serve a two year enlistment - and I mean everyone born here or not Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Imagine we had 200%, or 2000% more people in our armed forces to send on errands in north korea or iraq or iran. *** last time I checked, the illegals were not joining our military in droves...... you point is worthless Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Can I be deported to somewhere really nice please?*** no matter what the faults of this country.... its still the best place to live. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

What part of GDP do you not understand? *** is that truly the best you have? ok, here is an exercise for you, go to websters online dictionary and pull up the definition of "illegal"... you may gain some small understanding on why some of us are fuckin tired of the illegal immigration that is taking place. why do we cater to the mexicans? why should we learn their language? why not the irish? the germans? hey...if the mexicans get special privliges then everyone has to have them right?... *Any patriot should know that GDP wins wars*** I served my time in the marine corps, how bout you cupcake? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

The analogy between private property and citizenship is without merit. Citizenship is not something you can rent or transfer to someone, or that you as an individual have a right to deny of others. *** what part of illegal do you people not understand?, the analogy between private property and country is sound whether you think it is or not. I am not trying to withhold citizenship from anyone who arrives in this country LEGALLY. the ILLEGAL immigration is a problem, has been a problem, and will probably continue to be one because of the tireless efforts people like you who think..."no big deal"... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the U.S. might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard working and honest (except for when I broke into your house). "According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there. "It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard working and honest . um, except for ... well, you know. "And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being a racist. "Oh yeah, you need to learn my language so you can communicate with me." Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America .. Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

FYI to those of you who know him. Roy (aka D22369) will become eligible for POPS next Friday, while at LP. I'm thinking we ought to come up with some sort of celebratory (read painful and/or degrading) ritual to commemorate the occasion. Any suggestions? *** just remember Dave.... I don't get even, I get ahead....
