  1. dropzone.com tip: one can remove the name of a specific person from the subject line or, alter it as one sees fit. thank you; i'll be here all week. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  2. when you said drop food and water where it's needed, i didn't think you meant the food would be skydivers! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

  4. I thought about that. But what if you only picked up a gun to protect yourself? there would have to be hostile intent towards the rescue crews, of course. i'm sure one could tell the difference between a person defending him/herself against the mob vs. a person being threatening towards the emergency management personnel.

  5. yes you can; you can be critical all day long of those retards as long as you're certain that your own behavior would be more well thought. anyway, i say mount mini guns on the rescue choppers and gun down anybody that fits the aforementioned profile.

  6. well, regardless of whos fault it is, it is now new atlantis and the people of old atlantis are saying, "shit, there goes the neighborhood..." "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  7. if they don't rebuild it, what will girls gone wild do during mardi gras? oh the humanity!! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  8. don't be a fool...stay in school! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  9. it reinforces the fact that spelling is important in all situations, not just english class. once again, i completely disagree. the purpose of education is to teach and learn on a permanent basis, not a temporary one. i realise that we all do not use everything we were taught on a daily basis and that some things never get used at all by most people but, implying to students that poor spelling is only a hindrance in english class would be folly. i see the situation as akin to marking off for poor algebra in calculus class. just like algebra, english is used everywhere and it needs to be used correctly.

  10. well...you know what they say about opinions don't ya? "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  11. sounds like you've adapted to your situation quite well. i understand that learning some things is more difficult for some than others. i said that in my first post in this thread. however, i don't think that changes the substance of the issue.

  12. i tried to explain this very thing to a history teacher of mine several years ago by informing her that the reason is because there was no year zero. it was like trying to teach a dog to read.

    Sabre 2

    i've put over 300 jumps on my sabre2 and i give it 4 out of 5 stars. i've had 1 or 2 harder than normal openings but most of them are great. my only complaint would be that it likes to dive off heading on inflation but this can be controlled with a bit of rear riser input.

  14. i couldn't disagree more. poor spelling will get you passed over for any job that requires you to communicate with others in writing. spelling requires memorization and memorization is achieved through repetition. the way to get people to repeat correct spelling is to have consequences for incorrect spelling. bottom line: spelling and grammar are a prerequisite for almost any kind of professional job. those who suck at it look unprofessional and, dare i say, incompetent.

  15. i've always thought that standards should be created based upon the requirements of the task. this means that if a person cannot perform up to standard, regardless of the cause, that person should not be allowed to continue. i first ran into this problem while i was wondering why there are different physical standards for men and women in the army. if you can't meet the standard to perform the job, then you don't get to do it. i don't care if one person has to work 100 times harder to achieve a standard than another person due to gender, learning disablility, allergies, height, weight, full moon, whatever. life is not fair and there will always be someone who can do it better and faster and that person might not have to work as hard as you to do it. get over it.

  16. i was going to suggest the same thing. www.trancestalgia.com
  17. lightning doesn't just hit metal. lightning hits anything that has a different charge (potential difference) than the object that the lightning came from. usually, these objects are at least partially electrically conductive but, lightning will hit anything from metal poles to brick and mortar chimneys.

  19. I think you mean Pat Robertson. John Roberts is the Nominee for the Supreme Court the lefties are getting ready to assasinate. touche! although, in bill's defense, assassinate does have 4 s's instead of three. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  20. ahhh... when you left my name in your reply line, i thought you were talking specifically to me.
  21. what does me not wanting to get married have to do with all that stuff? --> "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  22. i take marriage seriously...as in i'm seriously not going to do it. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  23. the only re-using i've ever done is to back the tape up if the previous jump didn't yield anything worth saving. i've never used a tape again once i got to the end of it. anyway, i've never noticed any quality degradation by doing what i mentioned above. maybe someone that has tried can add to the discussion.

  24. freeflying is many, many things but, most importantly, a digital video camera is required for any type of freeflying. seriously though, the poster above me covered it very succinctly. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

    Goodbye

    hey slappie! shouldn't it be: "I couldn't care less..." just a side note "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
