  1. so advised. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  2. i agree with you, if they in fact are in possession of WMD, then they really have "crossed the line" not that we didn't first, but in any event i say we nuke them if they utilize such WMD. i don't hardly believe that the fact they may believe we will nuke them is a deterrant, given the mentality of this country. in their minds, they're "anshala" so regardless of what they may think we may/may not do will have no effect in their decision to use chemicals. fact of the matter is, from my observations, these people "are nuts" and ruthless by any standards. i expect nothing but the worst, and unexpected from them. their actions, and our reactions will have a ripple effect throughout the world. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  3. and which news agency do you rely on to provide the most timely, and accurate coverage? do you think we should remove them, as they can only "raise the final body count?" or does it even matter? --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  4. the press that is there is monitored by the military and everything they say is at least an 8 second delay. the press has no place in this war, they only provide a sympathetic platform for iraqi viewpoints (which are skewed) and sympathy for the innocent civilians slaughtered by "our" troops, and missiles. bastads. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  5. my point exactly. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  6. i didn't go to the link, because it's just one of many propaganda columns. we are going to find WMD whether they exists, or not. let's "assume" iraq is, in fact in possession of WMD, don't ya think ol' Sodamn Insane would have utilized them by know? don't believe everything you read, and please see my sig line! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  7. Rob: you are certainly in possession of more sheer will and tenacity than any other individual i've ever met. i understand your passion for this ongoing action by the forces which have chosen to be part of it, but remember about "beating the war drum?" the iraqi's have shown for many, many years their brutality towards mankind, no matter the race, color or creed. it is "no big news" that any atrocious deeds that may have/may not have happened or have been reported is simply not a repeat of percieved satanical behaviour by the western civilization, nothing these people do has any "shock value" like they think it does, becuase we already know they're capabilities and charachter traits. it is their intention to shock and horrify us to the point of thinking this will be the fate of any and all who enter uninvited, let's not allow them to achieve their objective. take care, good to see you back. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    "the Plan"

    i've kept real quite the last few days. but i've been aware of this situation. this would be like "letting the fox gaurd the chickenhouse" how long will it be, before WE are the next nation living in opression? Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday just don't know when to stop, but i believe they won't be such good friends much longer, seems ol' Wyatt want's to be iraq's new sherriff, and mayor, ol' Doc don't care for this much. i'm keeping an eyeball peeled on em' --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  9. look at the company he keeps! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  10. egg on their faces...GTFOH! wise up cats! one way or another, there were GOING TO BE CHEMICAL WEAPONS FOUND THERE, even if we had to put them there ourselves. forget about it. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    Damn I am good

    dang POP, you got "lead foot?" you kin to jeff gordon or something? why do you drive so fast? you need a sponser to get you on an oval track! V-ROOM! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    Damn I am good

    actually not. the time invested in a ddc and paying the ticket and court costs are about the same, plus the deferred adjudication keeps a clean driving record! which equate into lower insurance rates. this is the first i'm hearing 30 days though, it's always been 90, huh! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  13. the tandem master i made my first jump with said something i will never forget, just relax "It's All About Living" i'll never forget this. thanks, you know who you are. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

    if you run out of defensive driving courses, write the judge a letter requesting "deferred adjudication" if he/she grants it, you pay the ticket, court costs, don't get another ticket in that precient for 90 days, they keep your money, the ticket goes in "file 13" and done deal. alwasy asks for this first, ddc's are a pain. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  15. gun totin' redneck cowboy! i hate guns, guns bad, people good. guns fire bullets, kill people bad, very bad. man, get rid of gun before gun corrupt mind! you know i'm fuggin with ya! --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  16. i thought it was "pookie bear?" whoops, no, this isn't richard, it's someone else who has my logon!
  17. Kevin: i believe your answer lies within yourself. you must know what you can and cannot do. but you will be losing 38 sq. ft. of canopy and as you know up goes the wing load, much more ground hungry canopy. jump it from altitude 13.5 k or so a couple of times before you take it down to 2500' agl. whenever i change canopies i do this same thing, i want to learn it, before it burns me! take care, be safe. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  18. AggieDave: first let me say "glad your o.k." secondly, it's a good thing your a experienced canopy pilot, i've heard you express your views before about canopy piloting, turns out your thoughts are valid. must be something in that aggieland airspace! i had my first "eliptical experience" there as well at AOTMB. only difference in mine than yours, i had my chin pinned down, i had to struggle to look up at the canopy. my last audible went off at 2500 AGL before i deployed, so i knew i didn't have anymore time, so i chopped it, never even looked at my altimeter...mistake? anyway my PD193 reserve landed me just perfectly on the landing area, it's flight reminded me of my Triathlon, so it wasn't a shock to experience it's flight charachteristics, except for the velcro toggle stows, i got the right toggle loose first and struggled with the left one, thus causing me to drop my reserve handle. i never thought twice, because i knew i was burning altitude quickly, i think maybe next time i might try a little harder to get it sorted out. my "hard deck" is 1800' AGL. not too long ago we had an experienced jumper in line twists take it to 1000' AGL before chopping and deploying, no RSL. it could've turned out very differently for him, he landed on the east side of the road in a field, his main not too far away from where he landed. Thanks for sharing your experience, you did what you thought was right, and you lived, thus the 10th commandment of skydiving "never give up" --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  19. why, whatever do you mean sir? you are welcome to pm me anytime you like. please do not mention the moniker "rgroper" when referring to me, this has happened too many times for anyone to say it was a "typo". my user name is so clear even Ray Charles can see that it's "rgoper" that's "r.g." in reference to my first 2 initials, and "oper" which is short for the company that i own assigned R.G. Operating Company, L.L.C. (hope this clears this up) thanking you in advance for your coperation in this matter. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"

  22. aw c'mon Chris, i didn't mean to create a crosspost. i am calling for a voice of reason, unity and sanity, join us!
  23. does this mean we can't get along? i was typing this in response to Rob just as it was locked, it can still apply here. grown individuals, can't follow rules? c'mon ya'll. please, this has gone far enough. join me in this unified effort to restore civility to our ranks. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist"
  24. we're there because we can be. we're the world's foremost "super power" and we're currently "flexing our muscles" at our troops expense. our allies included. we're at war because we're egotistical, and we were "slapped in the face" on 09/11. we're at war because Wyatt Earp, and Doc Hiliday are maniacal twisted nonsenseacle imbiciles. we're at war because we can be, it's our right. take this post with a grain of salt. if your new here, my views on this have already been stated, i dissagreed before we struck and i am in difference of opinion even now. this war will be just the one, of many to follow because of our intrusion into iraq. we will regret this, time will prove my point. now, as a result of the UN not being in consensus, we have french dissliking americans, vice-versa. there is no "quick fix" now. many more will die, there is no "safe havens" any longer. nothing that has happened or will happen from this point forward surprises me in the slightest.
