Never approach a grue in rhyming mode! cavete terrae.

Once you do Grue . . . It'll smell like an old Shoe. Sorry - I couldn't help it. Once you do turtle, your anus will curdle? If it's Grue you have - That's not ALL You have.. When I'm done thrillin', invest in penicillin? cavete terrae.

Once you do Grue . . . It'll smell like an old Shoe. Sorry - I couldn't help it. Once you do turtle, your anus will curdle? You'd be good at writing that mushy, romantic erotica stuff. There once was a girl from Jersey Her online nickname was Swervy the boys would flirt their penii would spurt It's certainly better than scurvy! cavete terrae.

Legality aside, leaving anything valuable in a car is on the dim side of the light bulb wattage scale. How many people do we all know who have had something stolen from their car, even if it wasn't in plain sight? Sure, there are times when it might be necessary to leave it in your vehicle briefly as in the example one poster used above, but… cavete terrae.

Once she goes Russian, it's her pelvis I'm crushin'. cavete terrae.

Once you go Fascist, your relationship ends fastest? cavete terrae.

In other stunning developments, high temperatures linked to ice cream consumption, and constant water drinking linked to more frequent urination. cavete terrae.

No? cavete terrae.

Don't forget cop killers. Gonna have to disagree with that. There are plenty of completely acceptable reasons to kill a cop (no-knock warrant served on the wrong house in the middle of the night being the most common one), and it's hard enough to keep people out of prison even with those. cavete terrae.

I don't really have a counterpoint to this, actually. That's a hard situation. cavete terrae.

Stop putting them in contact with people, I suppose. Unfortunately, that is also considered torture in most, shall we say, "enlightened" countries. So it really isn't an option or you end up with cause celebres like Tom Silverstein. Yeah I should have gone back and edited the post to note PHYSICAL contact. No reason they couldn't have social contact without being able to touch/kill other people. cavete terrae.

Did your mother ever recover from giving birth to a full grown 30 year old (or whatever age qualifies as a human being in your eyes)? Don See? It's too easy to rile people up with the subject of children. That's my whole point :P cavete terrae.

I disagree. First off I would not have an 11 month old daughter and if by some hellacious set of circumstances I did, I wouldn't see her or know anything about her after she went up for adoption. Second, I genuinely don't place the lives of children above anyone else, so the "for the children" argument doesn't really work on me, and is often used as the basis for some truly heinous shit. Third, even if I WERE the sort of person that worked on, I'd put forth for consideration that an 11 month old is not the one that's gonna be the most useful for a rhetoric vessel. Perhaps something that's more than a babbling shit and piss factory, maybe something old enough to have a personality. Retribution, as you put it, is neither necessary nor moral in my view. The morality aside, I'm curious how it could be "necessary" in any sense of the word? To get the person out of society? Prison does that. To discourage other people from doing it? It's been well-demonstrated that capital punishment is not an effective deterrent. To satisfy bloodlust stemming from an emotional response? Ahhhh, yes. There we go. Here's a fun one for you: What if the parent of the kid is the one who has to actually look into the eyes of and kill the offender while he's shackled and defenseless? I don't have any evidence to support my guess, but I bet most people wouldn't do it. cavete terrae.

It also wouldn't be the most difficult thing in the universe to design a prison wherein prisoners can see and talk to each other if they choose, but not touch or attack, while also affording some level of privacy if they choose. cavete terrae.

Stop putting them in contact with people, I suppose. But the bleeding hearts would consider that "cruel and unusual punishment" to deprive them of social contact with others. It's entirely possible to put someone in social contact without allowing physical contact cavete terrae.

...and? Killing people for "justice" doesn't revive or un-rape their victims. It's action based on emotion, which is rarely a good idea. cavete terrae.

I look at it this way: The state can and does wrongfully (and knowingly!) prosecute and get convictions of persons not guilty of the crime they are on trial for. The state cannot reverse the death penalty after it has been applied. Supporting the death penalty is thus de facto support for non-defensive homicide. I cannot support non-defensive homicide, thus I cannot support the death penalty. I'm not willing to be wrongly murdered for our shitty, fucked up system, and it would be ridiculous to expect anyone else to. cavete terrae.

I did consider going the rigger path, but the biggest problem for me would be space, or more accurately the lack thereof. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere besides my parents' house that has enough space to do a canopy inspection and repack for a large canopy. I can just barely pack my 190 in my apartment and that's with the rig in one room and the lines going across the hall into another. Once I move back to the US, that might change but will very much depend on my day job and realistically I don't foresee a house in my near future unless I live in bumblefuck east, where I wouldn't have anyone to pack for anyway Not to mention: pets! That said, I won't rule it out. cavete terrae.

Agree. I first got my AFF rating in 1983. I hadn't even heard of tandem jumping yet. It was the toughest rating I've ever gotten. Unfortunately, I later moved to a S/L only DZ and my rating eventually lapsed. Got my tandem rating in 1992. Hardly broke a sweat doing it. Just arch and remember which order you pull the handles. Finally took the entire AFF-I rating course again about 5-6 years ago. Once again, another week of hard work and doubt. I never want to take that stupid class again. cavete terrae.

Yeah, I think once I'm back stateside I'm gonna book an hour or two of tunnel time and get coaching aimed at developing any skills I'll need as an AFFI that I'm not yet ready for. I haven't really done all that much belly flying in my time in sport, so I've gotta work on it a bit and I'll readily admit it cavete terrae.
