    I've read the article. Can somebody explain to me why this is an airport access issue or an extreme hardship to Skydive City? I've jumped at a number of airports that have a fence and it can be a little inconvenient, depending on the particulars but I would not call it an extreme hardship. Is there something specific about the SDC that makes it so? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I only commented to correct information which was only partially correct, not to start the AAD brand wars all over again. I think we have plenty of threads for that. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Or a temporary tax cut. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Only for partial malfunctions: Specifically designed for student requirements. It will activate when the rate of descent exceeds 29mph (13m/sec). The activation altitude, however, is split. In the case of rate of descent being equal to that of freefall, the opening altitude is at approx. 750ft, as with Expert Cypres. However, should the rate of descent be lower than that of freefall but still above the limit of 29mph (e.g. with partially opened canopy), then Student Cypres activates when the altitude decreases below 1000 ft AGL "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Just when their convenient. Yes, they don't tend to follow this one: Deuteronomy 21:18-21 21:18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 21:19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21:21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

    IMO it is not the clause, it the use and interpretation of it. I see nothing wrong with the commerce clause, as written. JerryBaumchen Yup, Justice Thomas got this one right. The precedent of Wickard v. Filburn needs to be overturned and bring back some limitations to the commerce clause. Unfortunately he seems to be the only one with that opinion.

    Well, I'm not in favor of the idea either, but criticizing the president for something McConnell proposed and insisted should come to a vote is a bit strange. McConnell was playing a game and they called his bluff. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I'd like to know what size the rig was and what size reserve was packed in there (and whether that fits with the recommended size). "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I believe they are a tandem-only drop zone, but I am not 100% sure about that. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I honestly can't decide how good the Tide defense actually is. They are obviously pretty good, but in their games against good opposition they hardly looked dominant. LSU, Texas A&M, and Georgia all moved the bll and scored a lot of points on AL. Their defensive statistics looks like they were rolled up dominanting the soft teams on their schedule.

    Property taxes have always been a form of wealth tax. when capitol and banking arose they became a bit less effective as a form of wealth tax (as a lower percentage of wealth is held as personal property or real estate) but that is what they were originally intended to do and how they continue to function practically.

    Pot smokers in WA enter legal limbo. They can possess but can't grow or buy: "So I'm not sure where you're suppose to get it," Satterberg said. "If you stumble across some on the street or it falls from the sky, then you can have it. Otherwise, you are part of a criminal chain of distribution." http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/05/us/washington-marijuana-legalization/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    I think reinforced knees and seat make sense for everybody, I believe most of the wear on those parts comes from crawling around inside the plane, not falling on landing. Bev Suits have a good reputation. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Quite a few people run it, and of course they do it without carrying all the camping gear. Some of them do rim-to-rim-to-rim although those are people experienced w/ running w/ headlamps. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Credit for Military Parachute Riggers The Authority shall grant to an applicant for a senior parachute rigger licence that licence if he or she passes a knowledge test on the regulations of Subpart 2.10 and presents satisfactory documentary evidence that he or she— Is a member or civilian employee of an armed force of [STATE], is a civilian employee of a regular armed force of a foreign country, or has, within the 12 months before he applies, been honourably discharged or released from any status covered by this paragraph; Is serving, or has served within the 12 months before application, as a parachute rigger for such an armed force; and Has the experience required by paragraph 2.10.1.4. Your case is a little bit ambiguous because you have the military rating but are not (as I read your post) servicing as a parachute rigger. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    No, but it would have practically zero effect on the deficit. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    This is why the best option is to go over the cliff. Immediate spending cuts across the board which are already outlined. Any other plan will just push the spending cuts further out into the 10 year budget outline, which of course will never come to pass. Yes, the cliff will hurt. There is no other way.

    I believe they asked the U.N. to recognize Palesting based on the 1967 borders. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    ^ This is why I am in favor of the cliff. The spending cuts kick in this year. Any sort of "deal" is going to involve a 10 year budget projection with X trillions of dollars but most of those are going to be so backloaded they have no hope of ever becoming reality.

    At last we can agree...a 4 million dollar vacation thinking about tit is a good idea! I'd think about tits for a lot less. See, if you were president we would have a savings. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
