QuoteIt must really bother you that so many parents pay lots and lots of money to have people with PhDs educate their children.
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.

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.

Quoteone incident - thousands of dollars to provide mental health care for everyone at that rally in AZ.
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.

QuoteQuote?? You had just argued yesterday that this new offer of mental health care would save money, versus the costs of the shootings it would surely (whatever) prevent. Are you abandoning this stance already?
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.

QuoteAllison responded that he had no idea it was illegal to record public officials during the course of their work, that there was no sign or notice barring tape recorders in the courtroom
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.

QuoteQuote
Also worth mentioning, GE has really been pushing the job killing CO2 cap and trade bill, another liberal holy grail.
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.

QuoteQuoteIf someone wants to cause trouble by misusing a gun/alcohol/drugs/child molestation/rape, the only effective remedy is more......
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.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuote
unfortunately, you'd be hard pressed to find a profiler that would feel they are accurate enough to remove someone's rights.
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.

QuoteQuoteQuotecould be wrong but i think ecuador
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.
QuoteFactory riggers are like every other riggers, they are human. They make mistakes just like you and I make mistakes.
I am my own rigger, I would always repack my own stuff because that way I know it is right.
Conflicting statements?
Let it go, ryhs. The skygods posting here don't get it and never will.

Very nice but it looks like it was 45 seconds of working time instead of 35. At least using the time counter of the video player it looks that way.

That is some fine paranoia and conspiracy theories you've got going on there. You and ryhs should get together and compare notes.
If nothing else, I got a good laugh from your lunacy.

QuoteQuoteQuoteWanting to take someone's inheritance doesn't either, eh?
"You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Stupid argument. Why would that apply to estate tax, but not to any other tax? All taxes involve taking something of value from someone.
Stupid assessment. But I'll explain it for you in spite of your PhD...we can work around that.
It's about the greed of wanting what the other fellow has, not about the tax. Do try to keep up, John.
Oh,wait...nevermind.
This may help to explain why you have to work around the Ph.D.

Quotei CANNOT even begin to comprehend this vehement anti-environmental stance that I see in so many posters in here.
I think you are confusing yourself. Just because someone argues for clarity in the AGW debate does not mean they are anti environmental.

Quotegot this video from an upcoming skybrother about a dodgy pyramid-scam, snowball-chain-thingy..
let's see how many of you claim sequences of those video's to be theirs, i'm absolutely SURE, i've seen at least one clip that is being marketed for "isagenix". also, "ISA", is a swiss brand known for their underwear. i bet they would mind too!
so, here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG-Wy4IeB9w
Skydiving has its fair share of copyright infringements. Think of all that background music used in tandem videos that is SOLD to the student.
QuoteQuoteIt's a matter of right versus wrong not whether it affects me.
then you'll agree with me that it's wrong for the super rich (and their children) not to contribute their fair share to society...
You have missed the point again but I'm not surprised.
Define fair share as it applies to everyone not just rich people. After that tell me how long is a piece of string? Hint: your answer is just your opinion without any facts to back it up.
I'm done feeding you. Please continue with your absurd and uneducated remarks.
I'm off to do Christmasy things with the family.

Quoteyou're not going to be super rich - neither are your children. so why are you whining about a tax that isn't going to affect you at all. strange.
Quotea doubling of inheritance tax wouldn't affect you in the slightest - why are you so worried on behalf of the super rich?
Quoteit's not going to affect you - so why worry on behalf of the super rich?
How did you become so ignorant? If something doesn't affect me then I shouldn't be concerned about it?
As a white man I should not be concerned with injustices against any non whites because it won't affect me. Gottcha.
It's a matter of right versus wrong not whether it affects me. But for someone like yourself that has so much jealousy of rich people, it has turned to hated and blinded you to logic. So sad.
(Why are we feeding him. We should all know by now that he has no logical argument about anything. It's all emotion. Lets stop feeding him. Although his post do make me laugh because of the absurdity.)
