  1. I don't care. I said the culture should be destroyed, not wipe out countries or millions of people. Destroying the culture of the Taliban was a good thing. That culture is thriving in other parts of the Arab world. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. Laugh if in denial, cry if the truth hurts too much. You claimed there is no evidence. I showed you evidence. Just because YOU don't believe it, or accept it as enough to prove the conclusion (connection of Iraq & al Qaeda) does not make it invalid as a piece of evidence. I heard a lot about this very thing on Fox. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  3. We are still allowed to express our thoughts here. The term "Arab world" is a widely used term that is used by those that are within that world. They also are allowed to express their thoughts in their countries, as long as it agrees with their leadership's racist teachings.

  4. You seem to dismiss the entire story describing the clear connection before the war very quickly as a lie, and then say there is no evidence of a connection before the war. If you think this story has no credibility, then explain what was not true. Fox is quite threatening to your template. They actually have extended interviews with knowledgable people (after first explaining their affiliation-to help you make your own decision on their bias), with thoughtful, direct questions from experienced, respected news people. Very threatening indeed. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  5. I said that I hate the culture and should destroy this culture. They are the racists, and they have a culture of racism. I think there is a big difference between hating a racist culture because of their beliefs and actions, and hating a group of people because of their skin color, etc. Hatred is not illegal. Do you not hate the culture that attacked us 2 years ago? Maybe you think killing them with kindness will work? Culturist, not racist. Big difference.

  6. Not joking. Ever heard the phrase, "strange bedfellows"? edit to add: There must be some US sources that agree with your template of the world, but thank you for admitting that. More to come...

  7. The arabs were on Hitler's side during WWII (and still consider him to be a great example of what to do with Jews). They chose not to participate in the process that created Israel. They promised to destroy it if was created. They tried/continue to try to destroy it. They lose everytime they try to destroy it. I hate them as a culture. Not as a race (I am not a racist). I think we should be allowed to hate a culture such as this. edit to add - I think we should destroy a culture such as this.

  8. The Democrat candidates Tuesday night certainly were very sure of themselves that there is/was no connection. I think they were just pandering to the hatred within their party. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,96825,00.html People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  9. I think the answer is definitely yes. The average pull altitude seems to be much higher, I believe in large part due to people wanting to be able to complete emergency procedures before falling through the cypres activation zone. The fact that people still occasionally fail in altitude awareness during a malfunction is a separate point, not related to whether they were intending to take it as low as in years past.

  10. Not. http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/dualsq.pdf I hope you don't do something stupid like risk having to use your lopo in high winds. edit to add: I never grounded myself during the 10+ years that I had a round reserve (I was stupid-I think most did the same). I was damn glad conditions were good the two times I used it One item you don't have on your lopo is a freebag. Round reserves would be better off with this bit of technology, I think.

  11. You had your first reserve ride. A real cutaway can be a lot more fun. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  12. One good by-product of the Cypres, I believe, is that intentionally taking it low before deploying your main is less common now.

  13. Just buy a Cypres separately. There is nothing wrong with buying your components piece by piece. There are many used units on the market now at good prices.

  15. Not much difference in size (170 vs. 160). I would have thought the triathalon might have easier landing characteristics for the novice. I agree with Quade's reply, we should not contradict you S/O, however at your wingloading the SR-71 should be very easy to land. Perhaps it is not flying well (worn out/bad line trim/etc.) and the new canopy would in fact be better.

  16. You should be able to make a very good friend in your local dealer. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. VERY interesting. I've never bought anything from him, I was only doing a little 'window' shopping. He certainly is a unique character. His DZ was filthy, and definitely not feminist friendly, the packing hanger walls were completely covered with Playboy centerfolds.

  18. Quid? Pint? I just love it that the metric system is rejected in the UK/Canada for certain types of common items, like beer, pizza (at least in Canada pizzas are still classified by inches), and TV diagonal sizes. Congrats on finishing AFF. I'm sure glad I learned when it was cheap, except for having to use lousy gear. Be safe out there.

  19. Last Fall Ralph Hatley's Western Parachute Sales had new Hornets. There are probably other dealers that still have new canopies on the shelf. Getting the model that is no longer the hottest & coolest thing on the DZ is a smart decision for your wallet, especially if the performance of that canopy is what you are looking for anyway.

    mantis

    Did a 2 way recently with a ~200 jump novice without a lot of RW experience trying to use the mantis position. The constant correcting and overcorrecting with hands/arms made me have to orbit around to get the first dock. It was very irritating having my target doing unnecessary adjustments. is having the hands in front of you likely to make a novice 'twitchy'?

  21. I really like being forward of the strut on a Porter, facing backwards, foot on wheel, diving exit below the strut. I guess it is similarly dangerous, but a lot of fun.

  24. Maybe this isn't an issue with the fullface helmets, I still use a Protec. Never used a fullface yet. Are they so quiet?
