(from the bonfire post) Dude do think over the past 20 years in all of the U.S. that at least ONE life has been spared from a checkpoint stop? Thank you. Believe me I'm all about personal responsibilty and keeping the government OUT of our business -but- not everyone follows the rules and enforcement/deterrment is sometimes necessary. If you disagree with that then you are better suited in a country where it's truly dog-eat-dog. Every man for himself. Anarchy man, no police. If your daughter is raped by 5 men then you get some friends, clubs, guns, and go after the offenders yourself.

Having trouble with skydivechicago.com. Interested in skyfest but I get an an dotnetnuke error when trying to traverse the website...

Don't worry man, I'm not going to carjack you today

Quotewhy don't they get out of their cush patrol cars or donut shops and go walk the beat in the hood, make friends w/ the local law abiding citizens and combat crime, old school? Bunch of pussies if you ask me Quote Because then they are sued and called oppressive nazi pigs by people like you. This is so below me, I'm sone as well. Going to go jump

Akarunway, I have a 'right' as a motorist to a safe drive home. OVI checkpoints deter drunk driving. Period. When I sail through a checkpoint It takes a minute then I'm on my way. I don't want a smashed motorist to go left of center and smash me and I lose my legs and all feeling in one arm. If Akron U is having it's 'mayday' parties then there is going be lots of kids drinking (near my house). The OVI checkpoints deter lots of this activity and the stats prove it. The OP story residents have a 'right' to live in peace rather than a crime-ridden neighborhood. Dude calling Police Officers 'pigs' is pretty ignorant. If my mother's home is broken into at 3am while she is sleeping and she calls the police... Wait, why would she call the police if they are pigs?? Sucks about your $1000+ ticket. I don't know the story but if the officer acted inappropriately take it up with that municipality. If you ever need to call the police....don't. Because they are 'pigs' Ever see a cop directing traffic? They are being pigs.. Ever see a cop stop a drunk driver from swerving all over the road? ..pigs. Guess what Aka, unlike China and Cuba, if you don't like this system of government you are free to leave to country.

So OVI checkpoints are technically unconstitutional.

Ok so 4th ammendment is search and seizure. The Myway article says this: I don't understand. It doesn't seem like they are 'seizing' anyone. I mean the neigborhood had 22 killings so far this year. This is a reasonable way to TRY to deter some of the crime. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work. My God you bleeding hearts make it sound like big brother police are standing in the roadway stopping every vehicle and throwing human beings in jail to rot for no reason. Ever seen a DUI checkpoint? They literally do the same thing. Close off a neigborhood and check for intoxicated motorists. Yea your all gonna say "but no crime was committed here!" Well, then you'll be fine after you show the officer your ID and he lets you on your way. Can't reply till monday so fire away ..

Can you specify which 'right' per the Constitution is being violated? Thanks Lou

Dude thanks, I found http://www.8notes.com/vivaldi.asp and got the first movement. I'm gonna fake the rest, nobody knows it anyway

Anyone have a copy of Vivaldi's "Spring" in a pdf or scanned you could send me? Thought I had it and realized I don't last minute. Last resort I could $ online but most require a subscription instead of a one-time purchase :( thanks Louie

Hey Labrys let's open our own cash advance store in rittman for skydivers only. If they don't pay then they work it off with pack jobs

I don't get it. If I'm going to lend $100 for 2 weeks, what should I charge? Nothing? I agree that the practice of letting a delinquent balance accrue interest at 390% is not smart business because the borrower is much less likely to repay the loan. I think I would stop interest charges after maybe 4 weeks then add a flat late fee. Remember these are designed as **payday advances**. "Want your paycheck early? No problem, $15 please." Nothing wrong with that.

cleveland newspaper article So HB 545 would cap the APR at 28% on all loans. Problem is these are short-term loans (usually 2 weeks) and the cost is somewhere around $15 per hundred borrowed. Well of course if you took a year to pay it back then 15x26= 390 dollars, or 390% APR. Who would take a loan for 390% APR right? So the bill will cap the APR at 28%, so 28%/26weeks = 1.08% for 2 weeks of borrowed money. This means the cash advance stores can charge a max of $1.08 for every hundred dollars borrowed. Anyways the link above does a better job explaining this. I'm just wondering what day this week we take down the American flag in Columbus... .

Have you learned to pack your rig yet? This should give you much more confidence in your gear and you will have a better understanding of how everything works. You can spend hours online reading through incident reports and worry on every jump, or you can take great care of your equipment, practice your EP's, and be prepared on every jump.

So what to do if someone 25 years from now 500 miles away decides they want to become an instructor and you're not around, what should they do?

haha true dat

Just my limited recent experience: My B license email was so fast I think I even got it the same day (didn't pay for 'express') Had to order materials from them, they arrived 2 days later in my mailbox Parachutist...hey it comes when it comes, I'm paying for much more than a magazine subscribtion..

Yea I can imagine montrose/fairlawn rt18 is a nightmare now. I'll have to ask peter about that next week haha

OK, umm I have NO background in counter-terrorism, NO security background, NO interrogation background, NO geo-political background, and NO law enforcement background. So, I'm asking, what - should - we - do - instead? It wasn't a rhetorical question. I'm asking because I don't know. Don't give me a big complex answer. I want to know what we should do if we need information from someone, have reason to believe they have that information, and we need to get it from them? Again, I'm asking because I don't know. That's all.

I'm in Garfield Heights, my family is in Massillon. I can't leave the house, car is buried and I'm trying to stay out of SC. I wonder if the picnic tables at Aohio are buried ... Hey Labrys I bet Rittman is completely buried eh?

I haven't heard Ed or Dianne yell at China or Iran.

Reply To All strawman arguments. Your skills are weak. Quote Those are questions not arguments.

"President Bush's veto will be one of the most shameful acts of his presidency," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, said in a statement Friday.Quote OK great, what's the solution then? Should we not interrogate at all? Not detain for that matter? Not even investigate or monitor? What if we need to get information from a person who we suspect has it? If it's a humanitarian thing, then why doesn't Dianne and Ed yell at China or maybe Great Brittain? or Iran, or the dozens of other small powers that make us look like sissies because we don't cut off limbs..

Is it unnecessary to rough them up in bootcamp? You know you can actually die in bootcamp, men have in the past. Is that unnecessarily placing them in harms way? "Oh yea umm my unit just got deployed and uh I want honored!! Don't send me into harms way!!! I want honored!!" .

A jpeg. Thanks, I'm sold. I'm gonna call my congressman and say "Let's spend less because china spends less...."
