  1. What Stumpy said. A complete non-story. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  2. Got a link for the hot-air balloon complaints? It's entertaining reading. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  3. I would be willing to put a wager that will eventually happen. Some idiot fanatic is going to get a hold of a WMD and use it. Which will give Israel an excuse to "turn the place into a parking lot". “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  4. Sums it up nicely! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  5. Every time I think about the Israel/Palestinian ongoing mess I think of this youtube video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isfn4OxCPQs The kid starts a fight then gets his ass kicked. Kind of like every time Hamas tries to pick a fight. You don't get to whine about losing when you start it. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  6. Organize all the swoopers and have someone speak for the group. If you have large enough numbers and are willing to walk if the ban goes through it may be enough to persuade him. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  7. Or perhaps people don't trust insurance companies after all the stories of them denying claims, such as the one just mentioned above. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  8. +1Quote “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  9. So what do you say to people that have experienced such a crisis but that cements their belief that there is no god? I have experienced such an event(Cushing June 21st 2003, it's been discussed on here before). At no point did I feel the presence of the "almighty". I actually felt the complete opposite, a complete lack of a higher power. How does that fit into your equation? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  10. With the latest headlines I think that would be "Paused the Iraq war" “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  11. No, pretty sure my meaning was clear. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  12. Never said nor implied that. I was providing an image that refutes the argument that "...God is just looking out for us" comment. Au contraire...I'm quite aware of how wretched the human race is. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  13. Yep, sure is. Except for this kid. He's fucked. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  14. People still use I.E.????? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  15. http://lancasteronline.com/news/local/supreme-court-pennsylvania-cops-no-longer-need-a-warrant-to/article_6a407fc6-d077-11e3-8025-0017a43b2370.html How is this not a violation of the fourth amendment? To me this gives cops the green light for whatever bullshit 'probable cause' they can invent on the spot. It reminds me of the old saying "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear" BS. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  16. Compared to the AFF rating back then(from all the stories I heard), of course it would be a breeze. These days it's a 'pay your money, get your rating' for both tandem and AFF. I've filmed numerous AFF course pre- and live jumps, as well as been on numerous rides on the front for tandem candidates. The AFF jumps weren't challenging, and the TI candidates didn't have a clue as to what the can really expect out of an out of control student(I showed them otherwise
  17. Wow, that's close! Thanks for sharing “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  18. Irony scale is off the charts on this one. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  19. Why? I thought it was hilarious. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  20. http://inhabitat.com/japan-plans-to-harvest-solar-power-from-space-by-2030/ There's your solution. Imagine what could happen if every country got on board with the research/building costs. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  21. +1. Once it's setup it's easy street! Another bonus is you can have multiple templates, and adding slow motion is a breeze. To me that helps avoid sending out 'cookie cutter' videos. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  22. Comparing the two is a bit of stretch, don't ya think??? I think getting rid of the death penalty is a good move. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  23. Yolo I've lost count how many times i've recorded that on tandem videos “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  24. Where to begin! Unable to get stable without the drogue. Throwing the drogue on all axis other than belly to earth. Drogue wrapping around various body parts, both the TI's and the pax's. Never ending potato chipping, not being able to hold a heading. Spinning at pull time. In all of these instances, the TIs had no idea of what was happening. They thought they were doing great, until they saw the video. IMHO, it's a lack of situational awareness due to inexperience. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
