  1. Thanks Quade - I must admit, that I am just listening to the news with one ear, while I was reading articles here. Nevertheless I am still interested in the outcome here. To all the rest of you - as I can't change the possible answers to the poll - go with what is there. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  2. There was just a report on the news, that 55% of the U.S. citizens believe in creation as the source of life, while 45% believe in evolution. I wonder what you think? Please keep in mind that I'm more interested in the figures than in people starting fights about their opinion. Thanks
  3. As I will try to be there next year again, we can catch up on that. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  4. Stop - my not native English probably slipped here in the wrong ... but also ... construction (). The proper sentence probably should be: I'm not here to defend my point of view to the death. I'm also here to learn. And once again I was curious about that question - full stop - with no prepared yes or no reaction ready to launch. I still can't see, where security is compromised, when you - while being in an airport - state your opinion, that someone should blow this place up. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  5. And that is, what this airport thing is about. When I understand your point correctly (and thanks for your wishes, that I grasp your concept - that really supported the single braincell I just have - it's feeling so good now), you say that just saying, that someone should do something should be, and is legal in the U.S. - So why - in the airport case - it suddenly isn't any longer??? In the case of the KKK I neither thought no nor yes, I was just asking, because I am not just here to defend my point of view to the death but also to learn (this appears to be unusual in SC but I know at least two other people with the sam attitude). Regarding the T-shirt case(s). Well, probably the ones Billvon quoted are also all misunderstandings??? M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  6. I thought we did - just really short. You were in the First Jump Course with Kerstin? At least I saw you. ------------------------------- I was asked a couple of times during the last weekend if this http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1354404;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread means beer - of course it does vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  7. Jeffrey, if this last point is true - where is your freedom of speech? Another question: Is joining the KKK legal and are they allowed to have public demonstrations? Also, why do one get arrested if he says, someone should bomb this airport (being there) - didn't you say that this is not "aiding" the persons who actually plan it? Regarding the symbols of the Third Reich mentioned above: It is restricted - not illegal - to publicly use them while it is unrestricted to use them in privacy. For example you can use them to teach about it in school or if you do an exhibition about the time. I totally agree with your opinion that a democracy should be able to handle this last point and does not need to supress even the showing of such signs but it will probably tkae another 50 years or so, untill this is the common opinion. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  8. December is coming and I have to go back to Germany! Thanks to all of you who made this summer one of the most remarkable and rememberable I ever had! I will miss you and will be back (hopefully) sometime next year (promise or threat, treat it how you want) My last wish is posted here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1354404;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Blue skies M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  9. No - this will be no major event. It will be my farewell party as I will/have to go back to Germany a couple of days later. Here's the plan. As I am missing a completed Texas Star we will try to build at least one on that Saturday. I would appreciate anyone who is willing to fulfill my wish (You still have to pay your own ticket [$15]). After the last jump that day there will be a party with plenty of food and beer at the DZ (in case of bad weather - we skip the jumps and just party!) - and this stuff is for free.
  10. So, what last name would you then use for your kids? vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  11. Different countries, different interpretations of hand signals. Isn't it in the U.S. where your questions in a presidential debate have to be approved in advance and if you alter by even just 1 word, your microphone gets shut down? vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
  12. Same link: http://www.skydiver.de/...nes/flash/index.html The following DZs say that they are operating year round.

  14. When I click on the forum name to return from a special post into its forum, all posts are marked as read. If I just hit the back button none ofe the posts, including the one I just read, is marked. Has this changed on purpose, as before you could still determine which posts are new, when you wnet back using the froum name? M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!
