Clinton signed NAFTA and Bush supported free trade. so first they outsourced our manufacturing jobs then they lower loan restrictions which flooded our market with risky home buyers which raised home prices dramatically. After the whole thing collapses what do they do?? fix the one sided trading agreement ??. how about fixing the housing crisis ?? answer is no to fixing the problems and yes to spending on pork.Our kids have to pay for this and it will not fix the problem. what pulled us out of the great depression ?? Manufacturing did and guess what? they outsourced it.

Give me a break. President Obama doesn't need to start at the beginning to understand that Iran's current government has no interest in any meaningful dialog with the US. They don't need to use words like "grave" or "dire" to say "f**k you"... ___________________________________________________ It is not the government that is important, its the Iranian people that count and the educating them into what America is really all about and not having any dialog with a country makes no sense . this issue is all about religion and the invisible man that everyone kills for.

I for one am glad that we, as a nation finally got past the racial thing. Now the blacks no longer have an excuse as to why they failed. The democrats have full control now and they too no longer have any excuses. I just hope we can get things done, because alot of things sure need fixing..

The Arab world has spoken…in support of Israel.

AND When a government is democratically elected it should be recognized and not denied and blockaded as Hamas was. Oh and in a democracy the majority wins not who the Israelis or the Unites Sates wants. _________________________________________________ Hamas was democratically elected ..true, but what did with do with their democratically elected power?? they failed.is what they did. launching rockets from close proximity to women and children is not they way to bring about economic prosperity to it's people.I am sick of the Palestinians and their all or nothing approach. -

What goes around comes around ... when many countries in the west had it good and imposed less than fair trade agreements on other countries - you'd never hear our companys complaining then. That is because big companies profit by importing goods made by countries paying slave wages.While all the small shops are pushed out of business. And, you must know how much big business can sway the government's position on our one sided trade agreements. I worked in my father's shop back in the mid 60s and i own a small CNC machine shop now.By the way our economy affects the entire world.

Would the USA ever adopt the metric system, realisticly?
hwt replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
And how would building trades deal with this? The same way machine shops currently deal with it now We learn to convert metric-inches using decimals and converting fractions to decimals and visa verse.We do both. -

The government threw money at the financial sector (with out fixing what is broken), Then they threw money at the Automakers (with out fixing the problem)and now they want to throw money everywhere (with out fixing the problem). They gutted the manufacturing sector with their so called free trade and ruined the housing sector by pushing lower requirements. Now they want to throw money at it. What we the people need is fair trade and not free trade and fair loan requirements and incentives to bring back and keep manufacturing in America.

Uh huh . . . please divide a meter into exactly 3 equal parts. 1/3 a millimeter = .0131233333333333 in inches and a meter is 13.123333333333333 inches one reason we haven't switched, Is our machinery still have in cremates in inches .the modern machines are doing both. slow is best way to do this. -

Hello All! Looking Forward to Meeting You Everyone!

welcome.Here is my favorite wing suit jump video -
I remember Back in 79 in Pope Valley ,California. I was jumping a classifier harness with the Meyers Release system.My cloud canopy opened in a fast spin because one riser was cut away. i looked at my altitude and cut away at 2,500 feet. well it did not release the main...I looked at the cut away pillow in my hand and got a surge of adrenaline.As i reached for my hook knife with my right hand, I grabbed the remaining riser with my left hand and yanked on it, Suddenly the riser released and i pulled my reserve and was opened by 2000 feet.Those few seconds felt like an eternity.

What progression method did you use to become a skydiver
hwt replied to No_Phear's topic in The Bonfire
My first jump was a static line using a t-10 canopy and the reserve was on my belly and had shot and a half cutaway releases.My third jump i was allowed to use a para commander main.
