I know, I hear people talking about the show, I'm sure it's 'good'. I just happen to really dislike musicals so it's simply not for me... I do wish they would spare me from having to hear the songs on the radio though. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

It was playing in the office today and I couldn't... it was pure torture. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Just a quick rant because these songs are driving me nuts.. The cast from the show Glee is covering popular songs and they are getting played on satellite radio. I've never watched the show and all I know is these remakes completely suck ass. One of their butcherings in particular is 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey, and there are a few others from the 80's. Anyway, I don't know how these songs are making it on the air cause they blow and the singers have no talent what so ever. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

We live in a world of information.. If it wasn't being covered in the 'media', it would be (and is) all over internet blogs and youtube etc... I agree the media blows some stuff out of proprtion, but they are stories worth covering to some degree. *I am not afraid of dying...

Instead, they removed the toilet paper holder and installed a book rack. Hahahaha! NEW BREAKING NEWS----> Donald Trump has offered to buy the site the mosque is planned to be built on. http://blogs.wsj.com/developments/2010/09/09/donald-trump-inserts-himself-into-mosque-controversy/ *I am not afraid of dying...

Was this a quote from the last time you visited the doctor? Oooh yeah.... your trip. I don't think it should affect your itinerary much though it's far enough from Estes etc... but close enough to Boulder to possibly get a contact high . *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Cool photos... I went up to jump on Sunday and Monday but we got shut down because of the wind. Will be going up on Sat and was wondering how it will look out of the Otter... pretty crazy judging by your photos. *I am not afraid of dying...

THIS guy loves him some chicken!!!!! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

BREAKING NEWS! Pastor is not going to burn the Quran. Had a feeling it would turn out that way. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Actually...Im starting to get more worried about you. Would you like to come to Detroit on a mission trip so I could give you a dose of reality? Nice way to avoid a simple statement of your "faith". As I suspected. Among the worst torments that Jesus suffered was the indignity of Peter's denial. Worse than a crown of thorn I suspect. You could have typed, "Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven". Simple and easy. Does it embarrass you to type it ? Don't worry. I don't believe in your religion either. It's you that say you do. I won't worry about standing before your higher power on judgment day. It makes these discussions easier when I can exclude the people who merely posture. Actually he could have just stopped after typing: ...but after reading your last reply, you seem to be pretty happy with yourself... so congratulations to you. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

the problem being that it's much less likely to live up to 5000 jumps if you are so reckless, thus those people are more likely to go in/get fucked up early in the game :( Are there any statistics that show, (experience|time in sport) in relation to number of deaths? Also, what is a reasonable number of jumps and time-in-sport ratio to consider someone "experienced". Maybe 1000 jumps|5+ years? not an expert, but experienced? or is 500+ and a 'D' license "experienced"? Certainly those with a 'D' have been deemed experienced enough to teach others with no experience. Textbook would say about 500+ jumps. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Yeah... but that kind of conflicts with putting together a good 'ol "I told you so" thread focusing on "100-300" jump wonders. People that have a tendency to do reckless and stupid things will likely do them whether they have 100 jumps, a 1,000 jumps, or 5,000 jumps. Other people may simply have an accident or incident beyond their control, whether at 100 jumps, a 1,000 jumps,... etc... It may be difficult to sometimes differentiate between the two. It would be a great disservice to start 'finger-pointing' and 'I told you so'ing', even though some here would like to see that. It would likely be more constructive to breakdown every incident into specific categories, listing all factors involved, and then compiling them together. Then one could provide pertinent statistics and percentages that may point to trends in incidents. I know the USPA has compiled incidents, but not sure if any trends have been proposed. *I am not afraid of dying...

Hahaha yeah.... Something tells me the quran burning is not going to happen. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

damN!!!! NO shit. just got to watch it. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

It's crazy... I drove through the smoke on I-25 on my way home from Longmont yesterday. You could already smell the smoke in Thornton. Hope your out of the line of fire. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

One thing is for sure... we are definitely way too overly PC these days, as to not 'hurt anyone's feelings', it's ridiculous. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

A few minutes ago in the other Quran-burning thread, I responded to an almost identical comment by noting that equating the burning of Qurans with the building of mosques is completely bone-headed. It still is. ...and did you give a good reason for it or was it as "well put" as that one. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Pastor Jones has the constitutional right to burn qurans... but does that make it "right"? Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf has the constitutional right to build the mosque, but does that make it "right"? One might say that they are both offending people? Perhaps both should listen to those that they are offending and reconsider their actions as to not create further animosity. *I am not afraid of dying...

Shit should be full force from the first episode! An all out war was brewing at the end of last season. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Whats funny is you (from Orlando, Florida) trying to argue a matter of NYC respect with someone living in NYC and you think you are more correct. You worry about Disney World.... and let the New Yorkers worry about ground zero. My point is... my opinion on whether or not the mosque should be built doesn't mean shit and neither does yours. This is a matter of respect for those directly affected. Yeah there are going to be some people that lost friends or family in 9-11 that say say it's ok... and some that say it's not. Both groups of people deserve the same respect, regardless of percentages and numbers. There is no "winner" here. It's not cut-and-dry like the Constitution, but then you and Bill are really the only ones that keep bringing that up, when NO ONE is arguing that point. Funny?? Yeah..., it's a real barrel of laughs. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
