  1. Quite the opposite. It obviously DOES bother you, as your posting history shows. Here's something else to bother you. Spelling IS important. I rest my case. Thanks for proving my point. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years. If you remove 1980 and 1989 you have 1981 to 1988. 8 years.
  2. Quite the opposite. I would prefer everyone get a higher education. I do have a college degree. My only problem comes when someone with the higher education uses it to belittle people in a vain attempt to make themselves feel superior, such as yourself. So many of your post are filled with responses that show your over inflated ego and arrogance. Of course you will not see that because your ego will not allow you to see what so many others can see. Very unfortunate. Instead of wasting time putting people down for spelling mistakes, use that time to better yourself. You may find that you will not be as angry as you appear to be. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  3. You are correct. There are people that will focus on trivial matters such as this. It helps to fuel their ego so they can feel superior. And of course it also points out how arrogant they can be. For an example, see the OP. The illustrated guide to a Ph.D. http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/ ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  4. The cost you are referring to here is after the fact which was not your original argument. Earlier you were referring to mental health screening for everyone before the fact. If only a third of the population of the U.S. were required to get some form of mental health screening at $250 (probably a low estimate) that would be 25 billion dollars. If there was such a law in place I bet it would not be a one time deal either. I'm done. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  5. Who said I was abandoning the stance? Providing mental health care for thousands of dollars is cheaper than the tragedy of a multiple shooting which costs 10's of millions of dollars......ounce of prevention - pound of cure - maybe you've never heard of that - but I doubt it. Could you please show where you came up with these numbers? Thousand of dollars to provide mental health care for everyone or (at the very least) everyone that wants to purchase a gun? Doubtful. It would be much, much higher. 10's of millions for multiple shootings? Doubtful. How so? Lower I would guess. If you have the facts to back up these claim I would love to see them. At this point it appears as though you are just making up stats to TRY to prove your point. It isn't working. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  6. Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse that will allow anyone to break any law. But some people insist on not taking personal responsibility for their own actions....and here we are. Madness indeed. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  7. Cap and trade is a conservative creation dating back decades, only demonized by the right since Obama adopted it as policy. Right wing hypocrisy at its best. And back then many democratic leaders referred to it as "morally bankrupt" or even "a license to kill". Oh the hypocrisy. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  8. that is about the lamest argument I have ever seen. It could only possibly work if everyone were FORCED to carry a gun and were willing to use it in such time of an emergency. I doubt that 10% of the population meets that standard (my guess) Just sayin. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=41196 ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  9. I consider the assassin's victims right to live to outweigh your right to convenience. A very smart Supreme Court justice once observed that "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins." and do you believe that any justice would remove anyone's second amendment right based on the predictions of an FBI profiler? That seems to be what you're proposing. Yet when I state your apparent position you selectively quote me to dodge that. We will have to take that as assent since it's the closest you'l likely come to stating your actual stance on the issue. Have you ever heard of "due process"? I have heard of due process. Something about innocent until PROVEN guilty. You obviously do not feel the same way since you inferred some peoples rights should be taken away BEFORE they are proven guilty. ________________________________ "1981 to 1988 is 7 years"-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years,Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  10. I don't think so. It looks like a Norman Kent photo, some similar ones being included in his book "The Book". I'll have a look at it tonight when I get home, but, I think it's Tahiti (or some other Polynesian island). The beach area looks similar from what I recall. AH! I was right... Almost! It is Norman Kent's, and he does have several pictures of those color coordinated jumps in his book, I just got the locations mixed up. It's over Eleuthera island in the Bahamas. Yep, you were right. Tahiti and the Bahamas are pretty much the same except they are in different oceans and many thousands of miles apart. You were right.......almost.
  11. Let it go, ryhs. The skygods posting here don't get it and never will.
  12. It's not skydiveinc.com, it's skydiverinc.com Also on the ebay ad it shows Arizona as location.
