Of course having a Director that actually follows the BSR's that he seems to vehemently tell the rest of us to do, wude be nice. Remind us again Mke, how old your kids were when they learned to jump?

What you've basically just said is that without a capitalist system you wouldn't have a capitalist system. No shit. Regardless of which, if as you said you're reacting to people who complain about income inequality you have utterly missed the point of what those people are complaining about. You're having an imaginary argument with imaginary people.

It sounds like California needs to vote in some Democrats and implement some progressive policies.

Simple one sentence statements are always good at accurately representing how the world works.

Well considering what the SIM says itself: It would seem what Mr. Mullins is proposing is an overreach. The section in the BSRs under APPLICABILITY reemphasizes that the procedures are voluntary

Bill, you are right, I missed that one. I think though that any type of communication with any of these individuals would suffice, and with the communication options available nowdays, that it could be done. (Even defining "the appropriate" might be a challenge. Since the defacto Regional Director for foreign DZs is the USPA HQ Director of Safety and Training, I guess he gets the email or the text!)

A few silly questions along the same lines. Isn't there an age requirement in the BSR's? IIRC it's 18 now, but it used to be 16 with parental consent, correct? So... is a 12 year old skydiver, with parental consent or not, a violation of the BSR's? Was the person who allowed it a USPA member? If so, did the above quoted statement apply?

So funny clicking this link all these years later to see that Squirrel completely and utterly dominate the PPC charts... Hahahaha

Changing the gun laws only makes law-abiding citizens more vulnerable and in some cases they will keep their guns and turn them in the criminals. Congratulations for a knee-jerk stupid reaction to a maniac

And everyone and all of those indictments had nothing to do with Russia collusion bill. Sorry you hang your hat on a fake false narrative meant only to intimidate the winning president that you didn't like

Well, in the past 20 years we have 2 presidents whose path to election was dominated by a minority. How exactly is that better? Why is tyranny of the minority better than tyranny of the majority?

When I'm doing tandems, I'll clean the goggles and them put them over the student's head and around their neck. I've seen the look of pride and satisfaction on their faces as they show their friends "Hey look, I have my own goggles already." Then the other students start searching and find their goggles on the main attachment hook and strain to put them on while the goggles are still hooked to the harness. Ain't hard to just give 'em the goggles right up front, I've found.

I was in a pub on Saturday night. Had a few drinks........ I noticed two large women by the bar. They both had strong accents so I asked "Hey, are you two ladies from Scotland?" One of them screamed "It's WALES you IDIOT!" So, I immediately apologized and said "Sorry, are you two whales from Scotland?" That's all I remember.....
