I found a picture of the guy... http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Politics/Images/ku-klux-klan-salute.jpg

shes just a punk ass kid. the whole lez thing might just be a phase anyway. I say let her do it and then if she goes back to the other side of the street she can spend the rest of her life living it down... LOL. A tux. Somebody else said that it could be a "making noise for the sake of making noise." I agree. Sounds like exactly what is going on. If they let her wear it though they may be opening a can of worms because it must be applied universally, which means we may see some hairy ass legs poking out from under a skirt soon afterwords.

I dont think I breathed my first tandem. I did open my mouth and hit my jumpmaster with chewing gum though

nice site. what did u use? visual studio? Also great aff level 7. you fall like a rock.

brainlock on my aff 1. I actually didnt have a firm grasp it was my job to pull. no pull. @4500 instructor opened for me. was tracking so I opened with 11 line twists. I couldnt even get my head between the risers. Spent two minutes kicking my ass off. Landed hard, off target, flared late. Ate dirt. I spent a few hours thinking if I wanted to ever jump again. I decided that if I didnt jump the same afternoon I never would again. I Jumped. Perfect aff level 1. I was hooked. The rest of my few jumps have been pretty tame

yeah getting dragged across the grass like a ragdoll is no fun.. :)

Agreed. Trickle down economics is a big fat lie. Its a gift to the rich people that put Regan in power. When you give money to the rich, it is saved/invested 90 pct of the time. When you give it to the poor, they run out and spend it right away, stimulating the economy. Unfortunately, globalization means that the poor run out and spend it at walmart, which turns around and sends half to rich corporate investors and the other half to china to buy more cheap plastic lead tainted crap. So we have a structural problem in our economy that fights the old tried and true method of stimulating real economic growth. Instead of that money circulating in the economy several times (multiplier effect) it immediately is removed from the economy (either by sending it to the rich or sending it to china to stimulate their economy). IMHO it doesnt matter a lot any more. If you give money to the rich, the rich get richer and the little guy gets screwed. If you give money to the poor the rich get richer and the little guy gets screwed.

It is pointless. Nuclear nonproliferation is a failure. Iran will go nuclear. So Will syria, jordan, sudan and all of the other mudholes in the world that can afford to buy a russian general a new washing machine and refrigerator. A russian scientist smuggled HEU out of a processing plant he worked at, bit by bit in amounts as small as a gram for two years so he could sell it and pay for a new washing machine and fridge for his wife. He accumulated two pounds of HEU and was looking to sell it when he was busted by the russkies. It is just a game of delaying the inevitable. http://www.nrdc.org/nuclear/furanium.asp http://www.cacianalyst.org/newsite/?q=node/4583 http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/11/international/asia/11NUKE.html Al Qaida will go nuclear. If they need a good working diagram the plans are available via wikipedia for a crude gun type bomb using 64 kilos of HEU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy Accept it. They have been working on it for ten years. They will attack one if not more american cities eventually, like they said in fight club, the longer down the time scale you go, the probability of survival drops to zero for everybody. If you think they wont eventually go nuclear and attack us then you should go work with the visionaries in the pentagon that never imagined that they would use planes. There will be more terrorist groups popping up. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5889435 They will become more sophisticated in their planning and communications (facebook, twitter, utube, myspace) http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10075487-83.html They are the Crips and Bloods of the middle east. If we cant get rid of gangs in the inner city in Dallas and LA how are we supposed to get rid of networks based in countries where the ethnicity is different, the culture is different, and it is practically impossible for the CIA to infiltrate. there is no way to destroy the network unless you do the redneck thing and just kill everybody and let god sort em out. When you think about it, the middle east has some of the poorest people on the planet, and bin laden has had a $50,000,000 price on his head for like ten years, and he is treated like a hero everywhere he goes. These people think differently than us, they have different motivations and arent going to drop the dime on him. Everybody in the power elite realizes this. If we bomb iran then all they do is ramp up their centrifuges and start passing HEU to AlQaida. All they need to take out all the lobbyists in Washington is about 50 kilos. Diplomacy and putting the economic thumbscrews are the only way to ensure that Iran doesn't have a bomb *for a few years*. The best way to do this is to keep them at the poker table and let the IAEA do inspections of their reactors/nuke facilites. All we do by bombing Iran is starting another war we cant win in a country we can't hold, blocking US personnel from accessing critical sites. It may even be said that Iran could go nuclear sooner if they didnt have to stay at the poker table talking. Like I said tho. Do you hear that Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.

so has anybody determined if the kid was actually dropped, or was he denied a new policy because the parents were trying to buy a policy that didn't cover him? If he was dropped, I think its wrong and there should be some regulation on the ins companies to prevent this. My son stayed in the 99 percentile for weight for the first 4 years. He was also in the 95+ percentile for height for the first 4 years. Fat babies are cute and healthier than thin babies... Better than a crack baby for sure. Now he has burned off the chub playing baseball and football (outside in the sunshine, not on XBox) and is a perfectly healthy 7yo. If the parents were just too cheap or too poor to pay for the new policy then it really is the parents fault. If you cant pay for em, dont have em.

The guy in the article forgot to mention that McCain also eats babies and kittens. seriously though the article was slanted hard, but at the same time all politicians are dirtbags. McCain might just have a more documented history. If you dug enough you could get the same story for 95% of the house and senate. they are all rich, corrupt, corporate owned, halfwit trust fund babies, born with silver spoons in their mouths, went to ivy league schools, got jobs as lawyers or business people as part of the upper crust power elite in this country and then went to politics when it became apparent that being a senator will get you bribes, lucrative lobbying positions after your done, and half price escorts in DC.

slavery ended 150 years ago. time to pick a better excuse for being a scumbag, societal tick. How about the cycle of gang life in the inner city? Do you think any of these kids give a shit their great great grandparents were slaves? You havent been to the ghetto in a while. Nowadays its about growing up to be in a gang. drug use is idolized. Guns are idolized. violent rap music is idolized. Bush and Cronies decided instead of real effort to stop teen pregnancy they were gonna push abstinence, which doesnt work. Pandering to the religious right. Now we have a teen pregnancy problem, a gang problem and many cultural issues such as idolization of the prison lifestyle, gangs, drugs, poverty, lack of education. Slavery has nothing to do with it. Its a weak ass excuse pushed by somebody that doesnt know whats gong on in urban america.

cliff is a military bashing moron. I wanna kick him in the teeth with my jump boots. go back to greeting customers at walmart and attending UFO conventions buddy

The national institute of health. Leaving "cures" to drug companies is a bad idea, because "cures" are "bad for business". "treatments for the rest of your life" generate way more revenue. NASA is also a good idea. At the rate we are screwing up our planet, we are gonna need a new one pretty quick.

OMFG! HAHAHA What is with the shiny black glove? Do muslim women know the 'prostrate trick'? So I guess she is only coming up for air in this pic?

Right now we spend 1000 billion dollars a year on waging war. We spend 17 billion on finding new planets. Given your responses perhaps you should call your congressman and ask him to switch these numbers! LOL

Gee havent you gotten RUSHMC's and his ilk's talking points yet.. there is no global warming...not happening.. So since most of the deniers live in RED STATE HELL... I have decided to help along Global Warming as much as I can.. so all the fucking idiots can all fucking live in the Fly Over Desert ( Desert is a good place for them in a hell on hearth)... and good riddance to them. And also since most of them do not believe in any form of social program.. dont come crawling to me for any kind of handout...if they are too fucking stupid to look around them and see the reality.. then let them live in the hell they created and said was not happening... Like they like to say...I have got mine.. and the rest of them can go fuck themselves. Hey wait a second. You might be on to something there. I am going shopping for a suburban tomorrow! Yeah! We can smoke out the red staters! We will smoke em out of their holes!

Yeah, me too. Or, you could just move to a place where the weather is more to your liking. Global warning is no big deal. Al Gore is a fool right? Except that 40% of the crop-yielding areas on the planet will no longer produce food and we will be eating rats, cockroaches and eventually each other to stay alive! Just remember kids: Soylent green is people! Enjoy the weather up there in Seattle because everywhere south of there and north of argentina will be like death valley.. Maybe that explains your drought in GA, AWOL71? You trying to tie in "it aint rained in a while in these here parts" to a global ecological catastrophe that has taken a hundred years to make and will ravage the planet for hundreds of years just shows how uninformed about the basic science involved you really are. As more heat energy is stored in the oceans, it will spur massive, powerful hurricanes just like the one that wiped out new orleans over and over again, year after year. (proven fact) . But hey, they are only black people. And we will endure ever increasing severe weather events, the polar ice caps will continue to melt (proven scientific fact) killing entire populations of animals like polar bears (never did like bears) the sea will rise (proven fact) and the influx of fresh water into the ocean can turn off the underwater currents that keep the UK warm, and completely fuck up every part of our ecosystem (screw the limey bastards). As temperatures rise, coral reefs in all the worlds oceans will bleach and die, because of the tiny algae in them are sensitive to temperature changes. This will lead to vast changes in the oceans ecosystem and mass extinctions of vital oceanic organisms. Since we have all seen the 3rd grade poster where microorgamisms are eaten by krill and algae, and nearly every other type of sea creature rely on these organisms for food either directly or indirectly (by eating critters that rely on them) then eventually these temperature changes will either kill all the life in the oceans, leave just a few super adaptive species left, or change the oceans to the point that we dont recognize them any more. No more red lobster... Just a whole planet with dead, green oceans that smell like dead fish. (hey I am used to the smell of dead fish. I been married three times) Its like watching a drunken retard play russian roulette with a 357 magnum loaded with 6 hollow points and during the game they keep telling themselves that there is no bullet in the gun, it wont hurt, it's a blank, the gun is fake, etc, etc. Regardless of all evidence to the contrary, you will believe whatever people tell you to believe so feel free to continue deluding yourselves. Scientists recently stated that the proposed damage that they predicted would be done the the environment by 2010 was actually surpassed in mid 2005, so it looks like we are ahead of schedule! When you presume to disagree with the hypothesis and best educated guesses of thousands of PHds, planetary scientists, biologists, meteorologists and some of the best minds of our time based on your mastery of planetary science that you picked up on Fox News and ESPN you will be proven dead wrong. Get used to it. Evolution is also real. Jesus was a con artist. There is no tooth fairy. Santa clause is fake. Sorry to break it to you like that. The same kind of ignorant bravado that reminds me of bush going "bring em on!".. Back before we experienced the pleasure of IEDs.

Log cabin republicans are looking for a spokesperson..

Yeah, as he gets older he pulls his punches less and less.. If only we had a democrat with sharp teeth, he would have my vote. Anybody that speaks truth to power without fear has my respect. He may be a feeble old peacenick, but I think he is a cool old bastard.

Great choice Fred Thompson is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. So is Hillary, so is Giuliani, Romney, Obama, Richardson, Edwards, etc. Therefore, a vote for Thompson = a vote for Obama = a vote for Giuliani = a vote for Hillary = a vote for Edwards = a vote for Romney. They're all steered by the same agenda, which is unending war to line the pockets of the ultra-rich, and further burdening of the middle class to pay off an ever-increasing national debt (and of course, to line the pockets of the ultra-rich). Not to mention that constitutional rights and national sovereignty will continue to erode under any of the abovementioned candidates. I hope Americans will one day wake up and realize that no mainstream candidates in any presidential election have the interest of the people of the US in mind. *They are all puppets, with no real ideas of their own.* I'm convinced that the only hope for any real balance in our government is Ron Paul. You stole this from my 'manifesto' on the covert redistribution of wealth under the auspices of the war on terror using the military industrial complex... I think you should be the next president.

Doesnt really matter when you think that the reason we are there is because we were trying to find "weapons of mass destruction". Finding a good reason to attack them after we have attacked them is revisionist. The reason we went in was WMD. You can't change the reaon after the fact, no matter how badly you might like to. It isnt about Oil. It isn't about WMD. It isnt about the Kurds that nobody cares about that got gassed 30 years ago. It isnt about 'fighting them there so we dont have to fight them here' It isnt about the connection between 9/11 and Iraq It isnt about 'spreading freedom like an STD' It is about fighting war for wars sake. It is about spending staggering sums on national defense and redistributing wealth to the ruling class of America by waging war. We spend close to a trillion dollars a year on 'National Defense', even though America has been attacked by a foreign power once since the 1800's. Once. That is more than 10 times spent by the country in second place, China. That is more than the combined GDP of all 42 countries in Africa. Where do you think all that money goes? Contractors, Tanks, Bullets, Gasoline, Jet parts, APCs, Flack Vests. Cha Ching! If only I had seen this back in the day and bought some stock in Boeing, General Dynamics and Raytheon back then. Then I too would be making money hand over fist, just like the republicans and friends of George Dubya. Heck, lets kill another 4,000 GIs! I am making big money! Why don't you do some research? Preferably at more than one website besides Fox News? Try doing a google search on 'military industrial complex' " Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. " ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

I read it.. It sounded like he has been drinking the holy water again. It was mindless drivel from a high school teacher. I sent a strongly worded letter to them which basically said "just because you were so brave to take a tandem jump once, does not qualify you to make broad, sweeping assumptions about the sport of skydiving being a sport for the intellectually lazy, or about the dangers involved, or the safety procedures involved with skydiving. Things you said in your article point out quite clearly that you have no idea what you are talking about, so why don't you go pick on snowboarders? Skydiving is dangerous, as are many activities in life, such as rolling out of bed too fast, driving a car, brushing your teeth with other people toothbrushes, going inside the ear canal with a q-tip and taking advice from fools that portray themselves as experts just because they like the sound of their own voices."

CNN reports all 10 have been located, and are reported as deceased. My condolences to the friends and family Blue Skies Somebody posted a Google Earth link, and I found a picture that is supposedly 1 mile away from the crash site.

corn and peanuts.. thats where I draw the line..

IMHO -- Dell. I have had three of them and they are all rock solid. I have an HP right now that blue screens every hour or so, and my old ibm stinkpad was maddening. Maybe i got a lemon.. dunno Of the three dells, the only problem I ever had was a battery problem where it got really hot and died. Had to replace the battery and after that it worked like a dream. Just picked up a used dell on Ebay for $320..
