  1. This was nothing more than a Democrat dog & pony show in an election year. They knew it wouldn't pass, but now Barack can say the Republicans aren't trying to do anything. Congress in general has lost the ability to "do the right thing". This partisan crap has got to stop. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  2. When the government started passing out $$ to poor people everywhere they were telling them in effect "it's OK, we'll take care of you." Fast forward. I see folks saying don't have kids you can't afford. Hehe...this system encourages having kids you can't afford. I worked in a car dealership in the inner-city back in the '90s. Regularly we would have people come in and try to finance a car who were receiving SSI or some other stipend. I can't tell you haw many times someone said they have "guaranteed income". Actually had a preganant woman tell me she was expecting a "raise". Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. Let's get back on track here. I paid for the gas, I'll use it however I want to. If I want to let my car sit in the driveway idling all day that's my right. Unless the powers that be want to start subsidizing my fuel expenses thay can kiss my a^%. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. I think it's when you hit the High School level. Anything prior to that is learning how to play the game. Oh...and my condolences for your involvement with 6th grade girls. I have one of my own Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. I can't find the exact numbers. Does anyone know how long the Strategic Reserve would last us if it were released? My thoughts are we are the consumer, the biggest customer. I'd like to see a bold move on our part. Release the reserves and cut off Middle Eastern & Venzualan oil, if even for no more than a week or so depending on how far it would take us. I don't know if it's doable, or if it would ultimately have a negative impact but I get tired of these countries holding a gun to our heads. I'd also like to see Congress and the tree huggers step out of the way and let us drill for oil in our own country. Sure, sure, you say the impact to the world's oil supply is negligible but every barrel we can get on our own is one less we pay those assholes for. Please don't dent the planet.

  10. They did sit there like a bunch of deer caught in the headlights while these pompus ass pontificated to them. This dog and pony show was a joke, like much of what congress does these days. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  11. http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUSN2143395820080521 Is this what Congress thinks we need? I actually found myself watching this drivel in CSPAN last night. What a joke. Being called before congress because your company is profitable. I heard the most assinine statements last night... Arlen Specter...he wants to bring a lawsuit against OPEC? Please. Some other idiot seemingly amazed that we are at the mercy of OPEC. What planet does congress live on? Or this one from Herb Kohl "Your industry has no problem doubling your profits, tripling your profits, even when prices at the pump go crazy," he said. "You have no problem keeping up with your increasing profits. It just doesn't seem fair, guys. It just doesn't seem fair." This is the legislature's idea of problem solving?

  14. Am I the only one who has a problem with the "turn it on and forget about it" posts. I don't use one. I'm old school. Opening at 3500 still feels like you're wasting freefall time But I also think if you choose to have one you can't just "turn it on and forget about it". It's a piece of equipment and must be taken into account on every jump. You don't just put your rig on and forget about it, do you? Laura, I think it's a good idea for you to have one. But I think more important is an RSL. Of the people I know who have gone in all but one would probably still be here if they had an RSL. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  16. How convenient the rest of his response is missing from your quote. Rubin then asked: "So, should we -- the United States be dealing with that new reality through normal diplomatic contacts to get the job done for the United States?" McCain responded: "I think the United States should take a step back, see what they do when they form their government, see what their policies are, and see the ways that we can engage with them. And if there aren't any, there may be a hiatus. But I think part of the relationship is going to be dictated by how Hamas acts, not how the United States acts." Please don't dent the planet.

  17. Could you please give some specific examples? To exactly which documents, sites and people are you referring? The UNSC has passed many (dozens?) resolutions addressing Israel, including their behavior as an occupying force, many of which have not been complied with by Israel. Should we cease diplomatic relations with Israel? If not, why not? How are they different? "If... ElBaradei is right then there is no reason that Iran stops ElBaradei and the IAEA [the UN nuclear watchdog] from carrying out inspections," Mr Morin told reporters on a visit to Abu Dhabi. "If [the nuclear programme] is only civil what would be the reason to stop international inspections?" The IAEA has some access to Iranian nuclear facilities but Tehran's refusal to allow intrusive inspections means the UN cannot verify the absence of undeclared nuclear material. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7068478.stm You want to compare Israel to Iran? Reaching a bit aren't you? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  18. So you're suggessting we sit down and have high tea with them? And we'll tell the Iranians we're sorry we don't like them very much but maybe we could all just find a way to get along. Let's see...we're talking about the #1 sponsor of state terrorism, the UN has passed resolutions deploring it's human rights record, they've refuse IAEA access to documents, sites, and the peole the agency requested to interview, and let's not forget that little problem in 1979-80...444 days of it. You can't talk to these peole one on one. You need pressure from Russia, China, the Brits, the EU, and Iran's ME neighbors. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  20. Have you ever considered how your life would be different had you not started jumping? What if you hadn't gone to the DZ and made that first jump? For me, I probably wouldn't have divorced my first wife, at least not for jumping reasons. We would have had kids in the '80's They'd be in their late 20's now. I would have continued to get high every day, as she and her freinds still do. I'd still live near my hometown. It's a scary thought really. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  23. Personally, I don't have a problem with the ruling. I have a problem with the SC over riding the voters of CA. 60% of Californians voted against same sex marrige. It looks like, once again, majority rule isn't worth a damn when the courts get involved. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  24. From Mr. Funari's accounts, the discovery was made when he transitioned from a head-down freeflying position to a flat tracking (freeflying) position during a skydive in early 2002. During this transition he realized that he was not falling anymore ?? It's early on Sunday so maybe I'm just too bricked to get this part. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  25. Where I used to live the kids across the street hit a golf ball with their riding mower. Right through my front window all the way to the back of the house on the fly from about 1/8 mi away. My first thought was someone shot out my window. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
