Oh man I don't think I have known a more nerve-racking or infuriating position then atop my bike, whith another's car-bumper kissing my ass. Yup, and airborn spark-plugs explosively obliterate windshields. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

That's not just how you feel girl. It's generally how trust works. hehee. I came clean shortly thereafter. Her and I are no longer together but not because of that. We are good, trusting friends to this day though. (just in case you needed an update ) I'm sorry you had a bad experience, whatever it might have been. I think you should heed the Monkey's advice and have yourself a cocktail.

I understand the Stima attached to a poorly reported skydive incident. I understand how it gives the sport a "black eye" to read or hear "The chute didn't open." But in this case, I truly fail to see how she is hindering the sport to say what she is saying and follow it up by the fact that she'll be right back in the saddle as soon as she is able! I try to see this from Whuffo eyes, and I too can say nothing more then: "It MUST mean something that she is willing to go back." Also, let's not take the entire whuffo population as complete saps here. She is introduced as a student, it is mentioned that she only had 9 jumps, and her own words about how she delt with her problems on deployment ("I didn't know what to do") don't land responsibility for her injury on the sport at all! just my $0.02CND My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I think the fear each time we see skydiving portrayed poorly like this in the media is that of futur regulation from outside sources. The only thing that needs better regulation in our sport (IMHO) is the people we allow to start in This was hillarious btw. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I agree! But for mouth to post this...chances are it wasn't small stuff This too, is a relative thing. Mouth, I don't know you from Eve. But a long while ago, you came out and thrashed me all to hell on these boards when I had posted, shamefacedly confessing to having acted against somebody's trust in me. Do you recall? lol Anyway, I hope you feel better today. Realise that we all make mistakes and that your trust in someone means nothing at all if you have never been burnt by someone else. {{{vibes}}} Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Dude, does that work without, ahem, burning consequence? I thought the chemical hair removers are not supposed to be used there... But it sure would beat the ol' Mach3. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Dood! That's hillarious This post should go right up there with Malta Dogs Perils of Gum Swallowing My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Are you kidding!!??! "Ugly Fat guy finds himself pregnant after skydiving accident." Would be a HUGE (pun intended) story. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Go forward Faustus in that famous art, Wherein all natures treasury is containd: Be thou on earth as Ioue is in the skie, Lord and commaunder of these Elements. -Christopher Marlowe, The Tragicall History of D. Faustus My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Dude, yes you can. It's simply because she found herself pregnant during her stay at the hospital. That's sensational and it makes for a good 'story'. Your BBC link Clicky My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

*** As opposed to 'real driving situations' as quoted in the Netherlands study... I for one always concentrated more at 'test' time than I do normally. I also know back when I was a smoker, I drove a whole lot better with a Black & White behind me than I did with a multi colored VW minibus! I know what you're saying, but not sure what you're getting at. In either scenario, the drivers being tested were aware that they were being tested right? So it matters not if it was closed course, or on the actual road. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I agree it's tough to find. I would present that it would be risky business to put out word that you had findings contrary to big brother... nowadays however, it's getting easier and easier to speak the truth. I can't seem to find anything about it online, but the study I had seen was actual closed circuit course driving tests, performed by a University in Montreal, Quebec. They had a number of volunteer drive the courses, then do them again after smoking twice the amount of pot each volunteer admited to consuming regularily (to err on the side of the effects of the plant) Pretty tough for me to figure out what personal agenda the shcool would have you know? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I beg to differ. In order to lie, you must be aware that what you are saying is untrue. If, on the other hand, you put forth a tale that you believe heart and soul, it is not lying - regardless of the fact that there is not one iota of truth contained therein. So when they said that they knew for fact that smoking weed will have similar effects on a person as say, rabies on a dog, (turning them into irrational, aggressive physical attackers without motive) it was not a lie because... being completely fabricated on the spot, they didn't know it wasn't true. Interesting logic. Fact is, they did declare it as fact... and thusly, it was a lie. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I've been waiting for this post. I'm happy to read it

WoW, it really is amazing how different things are when you cross an imaginary line. People in the US tend to make a mountain out of a mole-hill when it comes to marijuana use. I don't want to steer this thread into SC or anything, but this is very true as compared to the general view held north of the Border. I've been reading this thread, aware that mentioning a recreational use of marijuana can label someone and have them flamed all to hell. I commend agent-lead and acknowledge the balls it took to be honest about his marijuana use. Fact: The affects of marijuana on ones ability drive safely and efficiently have been tested and tested again. There are none. Fact: Go to any source of info provided by those that make it an illegal substance and you get "There have been no extensive studies.... blah blah blah" Pot is not illegal because of what it does to the mind or the body. Pot is illegal because hemp stood to destroy the Pulp and Paper industry and they lobied against it. Again, not wanting to get all SC on you guys but does anyone ever remember "Weed Rage"? Well if you do, then today you are aware of yet another Fact: Your government has lied to you about this stuff. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Forget the suicide sauce. I think I'd go HoneyGarlic on that one. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

ahem... do you really need to ask? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

They need to be much hotter IMO. Like, suicide-sauce hotter. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Lit a candle for him last night. Listened to his music and words in celebration and reflextion of his life. John was a man that my grandchildren will "remember".

How about "Team Less-Risky-Business" being that you are underwriters? ... if you win the certificate, you gotta take me to dinner baby. lol btw, nice new shot! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

You are being a skygod. You have nothing to offer but negative comments about the poster and how you feel his voice should not be heard because he doesn't have the experience you require from a speaker (read: typer) You should just log off and leave this thread to people that give a damn about the safety of all jumpers. Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Last time I checked (I don't go there often), calling someone a "fucking idiot" isn't acceptable in SC either Rays just going to have to chill or log off. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Sigh, No comment..... ... except for the "no comment" one of course. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

That's interesting, I've not ever seen a thread in Bonfire, edited by a moderator simply because he didn't like the content or didn't feel it worth sharing. ... what's happened here? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Mine isn't! Really? Are you missing part of it? lol Stephen King often included disproportioned fingers in the physical description of his more spiritually evil characters. Are you a "Bad Guy"? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
