…murdering US citizens without a trial and celebrating it… cavete terrae.

That's disingenuous at best. Against GDP is a pretty bizarre way to spell it out. Personal income tax was over 90% in the past. Obama's a scumbag but at least he's not doing that. cavete terrae.

My suggestion absolutely works, or would anyway. Trying to piece together equality is a fools errand, particularly on something as entrenched in law and policy as marriage. /edit: articles make sentence better This goes back to one of my favorite ways of expressing my political opinion: "Every law that needs to exist already does, and most of the laws that exist need to be struck down" cavete terrae.

cavete terrae.

Yes, but the problem is that the bible thumping dipshits are all herping the derp over the sanctity of marriage, not the sanctity of registered domestic relationships. cavete terrae.

Just another casualty of religion and government mixing. Government should not recognize marriage between ANYONE. NOBODY. If people need to be able to have a legal status for tax crap or insurance/benefits, whatever, they can have a registered domestic relationship which can be between any consenting adults. cavete terrae.

So people have finally stopped their endless wining? cavete terrae.

If the business's waste/emissions/whatever are known to be harmful and come onto your property, it's a clear violation of that tenet. Choices have consequences. If you aren't prepared to deal with the higher insurance cost as a drug user like smokers have to, tough love. Why is growth required? So we can overpopulate and decrease quality of life? A couple people have mentioned that and in retrospect that's probably a better wya of thinking of it. They're still human. Barely. I do when the country is saying everyone should have a university education, when that's patently ridiculous. It's also abundantly clear that the fedgov's interference in school programs currently harms far more than it helps. If you land on someone, it wasn't safe to jump and you should be changed with manslaughter or whatever, as you have violated that central tenet of "do not affect the life, liberty or property of someone else". Damages are paid for by the jumper. Search and rescue paid for by the jumper. Again, actions have consequences. Skydivers and BASE jumpers should understand that better than anybody. I disagree with your opinion but I'll defend until my death your right to speak it. cavete terrae.

Me too, buddy. Me too. cavete terrae.

It's still true. It just doesn't fly. cavete terrae.

Yeah I'm not even considering downsizing my reserve, just wondering if the trip down to 170 is going to need to be my last downsize on the main because of it cavete terrae.

I'm currently jumping a Precision Fusion 190 and a Smart 220 in an Infinity I-66N. My next downsize will probably be a Nitron 170, giving me a 50sqft difference between my main and reserve. The 170 is technically outside of the range of the spec, but if the Nitron packs anything like my Fusion does, it'll be larger than most other canopies in its size range. Is this the point where I need to start being really worried about canopy behavior in a two-out? I'm not going to downsize my reserve, just trying to make informed decisions about my main choice. cavete terrae.

Fair enough on most of it whether I agree or not, but interested about this, for example - do you want roads? I accept that certain infrastructure has to be built so I can accept a small amount of taxation for that stuff, I'm at least somewhat realistic. It's when the money stolen from me goes to killing brown folk who've done nothing to me that I start to get annoyed. The less money we spend on stupid bullshit is the less money that has to be stolen from me. cavete terrae.

If someone is doing something that doesn't affect the life, liberty or property of someone else without their permission, there is no ground to oppose that action. I support the legalization of all drugs for use by adults in their own home, as long as they are not exposing children to the drugs, or operating vehicles/machinery. It's worthwhile to note that I do not and never have drunk alcohol or used any drug, so it's not a fight I have a dog in. That said, I think it's all disgusting and I don't really want to see it, but I'm not going to tell people what they can or cannot do with their own body. I think people should be discouraged from having children in general, because the population growth rate worldwide is unsustainable, and abortions should be available until whatever point the medical system thinks is generally appropriate. Marriage is archaic, stupid and people who do it are nuts. But the government shouldn't be involved with it in any way, in any context. There's no reason two men, two women, three men and one woman, or any other combination of consenting adults should not be allowed to get married if they can find someone to do the procedure. If the government insists on having some sort of system to track relationships for tax purposes, etc, there can be a register of domestic relationships that anyone can register to. I feel that a government intentionally killing their own citizens without a trial should result in everyone involved being put on trial for murder, and the same for the DroneStrikes4Fun™ policy that's been going on for a while. Cops that do horrible shit on duty should be held personally accountable for their actions, including payouts to victims and serving prison time. This includes inappropriate raids, shooting dogs, so forth. Cops should be held to a MUCH higher standard than the public when it comes to behavior. Capital punishment cannot be undone, and the government cannot be trusted to get it right 100% of the time. I'm not willing to die for a broken system and I don't expect anyone else to, so I cannot support capital punishment. I'd rather have 100 murderers free than 1 innocent person serving time. I don't think people in Washington can possibly understand the educational needs of someone in Oregon, and see no reason why they should be involved. Supporting Israel hurts us far more than it helps us. Saudi Arabia aren't our friends, neither are China. Modern nuclear power is rad. The DHS and NSA are poxy bands of assholes. The violation of peoples' rights in regards to border searches is ridiculous. Health care got to the "broken" state it was in because of bad legislation, and more bad legislation isn't the way to fix it. I already had two parents, I don't need the government telling me I'm not allowed to play poker online. Farmers should not be paid to not grow crops, and the subsidy/tariff system that exists currently is preposterous. There are also a bunch of ridiculous laws regarding people making cheese and diary that are just insane. I'm sure there's plenty of more to bitch about in this category. Parks belong to the people, let the people BASE jump in them if they're only gonna hurt themselves. If someone wants to die but can't do it himself, people should be able to help. It's only murder or manslaughter if there's not consent. Taxes are stealing. Sometimes people need help. It's ok to give them a hand to get up, don't give them a handout. So where's that leave me? cavete terrae.

You bugger, you beat me to it. It's not easy getting old & slow. JerryBaumchen PS) What year was the Porsche? I had a red '56 and a yellow '65. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder i believe sir That quotr , while usually attributed to Bueller, is originally from an obscure Belgian film called Fromage du Chat, back in 1966. Worth a watch, it's in English despite the name. cavete terrae.

What was wrong with the Caravan, they hold 16 - 18 people normally. There are no DZs running Twotter or skyvans anymore. The last of both of those were at Sydney skydivers. They sold thier Skyvan to Israel. Everyone runs Caravans, PACs or Cessna 182s, with a few G8 Airvans and a Beaver. Also a 206 at Torquay and a Cressco can sometimes be found at Barwon. cavete terrae.

marriage… *shudder* kids… *shudder* cavete terrae.

I'm from the US but have spent about 1/3 of my life in Australia, so my answer would be the same I suppose. cavete terrae.

Pigeonholing is stupid. "Right wing" and "left wing", "liberal" and "conservative" are words that don't apply to many people at all. Me? I'm probably "right wing" in a lot of ways, and feel that the government shouldn't be involved with marriage AT ALL. Don't recognize it between ANYBODY, because it's a stupid outdated social custom that doesn't need to involve the government. If people need to have something to make sure their partners get benefits, fine: We can have a government-recognized domestic partnership. This can be between a man and a woman, two men, two women, two women and a man, or any other combination people care to come up with as long as all participants are adults who can give informed consent. The word marriage should not be in the government's vocabulary. As for abortion rights? Go wild. I don't like kids, I don't think most people should be parents, and I sure as hell don't think people should be encouraged to create more fuck trophies that they aren't going to care for, and that will annoy the shit out of me. Want an abortion? Awesome, thank you for being responsible and not creating yet another unwanted child. Frankly, I think every law that needs to exist already does, and most of the laws that do exist need to be struck from the books. cavete terrae.

100% effective way to prevent your child from being shot at school is not to have children. cavete terrae.

One of the greatest failings in Australia is that there is no pepper jack cheese to be found here, essentially. The only way I've found I can get it is by going to Costco and getting this big cheese platter, about 10% of which is pepper jack cavete terrae.

Better than the pigs here. They didn't even come to the scene when my motorcycle was stolen, just gave me an incident report. I hope their children get orphaned, they're bloody useless. cavete terrae.

0:0:0 Worked this weekend cavete terrae.

Good on you! My brother was in a somewhat similar boat – skydiving wasn't his goal, but I told him that as a present if he got down to 230 I'd buy him a tandem or his AFF first jump. Should be done about springtime as well. cavete terrae.
