  1. I personally feel it is not the right of citizens to own weapons, but the responsibility of citizens to do so. Here is another case of the people not minding there own business... For those who think they should not arm the students, have your child walk point on the way to/from school, that way your child can get slaughtered - protecting everyone else. No guns needed.
  2. Iphone has been hacked nearly from day 1, the real story is that the Iphone is unlocked.... they are also now confirmed software only unlocks... slick. ;)
  3. Wish I could go... but looks like Im going to be working... is a contract I cant turn down. D
  4. A survey can be made to give nearly any results wanted. Purposely or not. All it takes is one biased question, one biased interviewer, poor wording, selective sampling... etc etc What is interesting about the first survey though, is they mimiced the first survey, so at least a trend is being developed even if the numbers may be skewed.
  5. Thats what i was looking for. My point being that the "we are better" attitude, I feel, by and in large is responsible for so many issues this world has faced. *my god is better than yours*
  6. Whoa... wait. Im not asking what god would think... I am asking what human, living, breathing, fallible humans think...
  7. wait is that sarcasism? ;) jk Would you concede that many, if not even a majority of those who are highly religious do? (Use your own judgement as to what is *highly*)
  8. Praise his noodly appendages
  9. Do you feel that someone who does not believe in god is in any way lesser than those who are "blessed"?
  10. Hot damn whats the story there?
  11. If she was happy why am I to meddle with her "bar" for her? Your happy, great. You have what you want. If she wants the same as you have great, if she wants what I want great. If she wants both great. Besides skydiving, I work, damn hard when needed. I take care of my life. I take care of my women. My mantra might be EFS, but there is much more to it than that. Personally though, my plan, is to try to raise her well, make sure she can take care of herself, and then let her make her own decisions and let her live her life. Providing her with my love and support, but not my judegment.
  12. Want the honest truth? Will you believe me? I am a loving loyal boyfriend. I take care of the people I love. I respect them. I dont cheat. I am honest and forward. I also have been known to cook, clean and Im house broken. If she dated a guy like me and he made her happy, then I would be happy for her/them. I just would make sure she is on birth control.
  13. You just make is seem like its a bad thing... But who are we to judge anyways?
  14. Scott Miller lives in Deland, but travels the country (world?) given canopy seminars. I might be possible (and easier) to catch him in a location closer to you. When season closes, thats when you can catch him in Fl.

  15. No, no. Probably not. But I do hope to actually be sharing my time with one special lady if that makes it better in your eyes. Outside of that, ambitions to EFS likely wont wane.
  16. On the flip side, the experience you have likely will help you learn swooping easier. I became a much better canopy pilot after doing a bunch of CRW. In my opinion, if you cannot stay fairly current, you are asking for disaster. As for progression, if there isnt an experienced jumper/instructer at your dz to get you going in the right direction, I would suggest finding one of scott millers canopy schools or come stateside for a camp or training. In the mean time, do lots of high hop and pops and play with your canopy. Just keep the turns off the ground.
  17. 26 for a couple more months. Whats that have to do with anything? I know plenty of old perverts who enjoy the hedonistic life.
  18. Just to throw in my 2 cents here. It isnt all about the jump numbers. Its about the progression. Someone who works from day one, training and focusing on high performance canopy flight at 850 jumps might very well be ready for that canopy.
  19. There is a purpose in life, eat, fuck skydive and enjoy it all.
  20. ...besides already enough made up religions. So Im just going to stick to a made up religion I enjoy.
  21. Easy there boy. Just woke up, I didnt abondon the thread. Science works on a process, Hypothesis, Theory, Law. The further we delve into science, furthering our understanding of the universe. The bible is also full of information which is open for scientific debate. Feel free to google and take a look at one of the near infinite debates already in progess. But really, if I knew HOW it was going to happen, I would be able todo so. Debunking the character himself is all but impossible, granted. But debunking much of the biblical foundation surrounding him on the other hand is plausible. Without that support, how can you uphold your god? Faith apperantly. The same faith that opened a *musuem* of creationism, will still use there faith to bend the rules of science to fit what they want to believe. Generally speaking though, my statement is more of a forward looking, the knowledge we hold in the future we cannot fathom today. But what will it matter when faith turns a blind eye to science.
  22. Well duh if it where a white person they wouldve been rubbing against a boy and it wouldve been in church not walmart. Come on people....
