  1. Melania knew what she was doing when she agreed to be a billionaire's trophy wife. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. I took a girl to see that movie for a first date. Married and been divorced from her since then. So, mixed feelings about it!
  3. I don't think the price difference is quite that much anymore. The competition in the market brought about by the M2 seems to have worked as it should. AADs have been overpriced for several years. More options has begun to change that and has forced Airtec into abandoning it's more extreme version of planned obsolescence. Which one should you buy? I've got my opinion on what I would do. But the only advice I really want to give in this forum is that they are all good and will do their job just fine.
  4. Russia's and ours are maximized and calibrated to detonate at altitude for maximum damage. North Korea's is in the infantile stage, who knows what's going to happen. Could theirs detonate at the altitude you stated, or much lower? At any rate, it's definitely not like a giant TNT bomb, which will create a crater if detonated at ground level. The bombs dropped on Japan in the 1940s had altitude triggers. I think the North Koreans have probably figured it out by now. They could just adapt a Solo 2 or any other skydive audible!

  5. By treating them all with the respect they deserve as equal in the eyes of God. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. No, the dotard has already issued a lie denying he used those words. Why should he now apologize for something that never happened? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. The key to understanding Ron is in this sentence. The arrogance and false sense of superiority inherent in believing that God loves his people best is summed up right there. He belongs to a group. He has found his peace and his place within this group. You could call it a cult because it based around religious views. Christianity has hundreds of cults and subcults. But I think of it as a clan or tribe. It's pointless to discuss the errors you see in his religion. Everyone chooses to believe something. They are all wrong. Most people keep it more to themselves. Ron thinks he needs to share. You can choose to read his posts or not. On the other hand, his social views can be downright offensive. That is where I choose to point out his flawed thinking.

  8. Yup, just another committee. Rules and regulations who needs them? Throw 'em out the door.......
  9. Ideally a candidate for President has a vision for the nation and is able to convince enough people to follow that vision. This is what Trump did. It’s a pretty scary reality and exposes a weakness in democracy. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. She is qualified, and so are many other people. We need to stop limiting our choices to career politicians. I agree with you. The qualifications are clearly spelled out. It's not the kind of job you can train for anyway. It's a job calling for wisdom and hard work. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. There is no way to "scrap the party system". The only way to overcome the tendency toward extreme partisanship is for more voters to participate in selection of candidates. Voters have an open invitation to make their choice. Most don't and so they get what they deserve. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. I'm more optimistic than you. Your nation is not actually changing. The current situation is just shining a light into some of the dark corners of the closet. America is still great and the Trump era is going to end with a strong showing of that greatness. Those who are riding on his coattails are going to regret it soon enough.

  13. Maybe someone should tell the dotard that not many Norwegians want to come to Trump's "Fortress America". Norway is doing pretty well and has less than 6 million people. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. IMO, this is evidence that President Trump is following his campaign promises. Like his promise to pander to white nationalists? Yes it does. You and Trump seem to have very similar views about non Caucasian people. Congratulations on electing the racist you wanted. I'm hoping you and I live long enough to see the backlash.

  15. A) Project veritas has no credibility in the real world B) Twitter can not be in violation of the 1st Amendment. As a private company it is not covered by the 1st Amendment. But of course you, like Trump will ignore both those facts. And RT? Your new go to source for news on the struggle to make America white again? Your friends who served and fell in 'Nam may be questioning your patriotism over that choice. It is a direct arm of the former KGB after all.

  16. Marc, that is a complete untruth. The proof is simple. Higher sea levels, retreating glaciers, higher average temps, and higher CO levels. All following the prediction models. The only thing missing is your willingness to accept the evidence. Your belief system does not and will not change those facts. The stubbornness you exhibit is sometimes awe inspiring. But it does not look good on you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. In general, yes it is. Jumpers with real social lives almost never become current or good at skydiving. But there are people who do it anyway and there is room for you. But as a casual sport, skydiving is not a good choice. Look for a larger school with many full time instructors. They will be more likely to be geared to your needs. You are looking for a place with a focus on customer service. Modern large DZs can fill that role.
  18. This problem may be self limiting. I'm spending less and less time on FB lately. It is becoming boring and predictable. Same things over and over again. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Did you vote for HRC? Or did you feel she was not qualified either? What does it mean to be qualified these days? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. Yes, much longer read than my FB shortened attention span usually allows for. But worth every one of the 9 minutes spent. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. DJT thinks she is qualified! http://time.com/5092937/oprah-winfrey-golden-globes-donald-trump-running-mate/?xid=homepage Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. I love the Curv, but still no MARD available. Only talk. Get a Vector with a Skyhook. My 2 cents. Comfort? Yes, the Curv is awesome. But really it only makes a difference while you are on the ground geared up. You will have a very hard time wearing out any new container unless you abuse it or do several hundred jumps a year for many years.
  23. And so short sighted. Jumpers are far more likely to buy and then forget about tickets if they don't have to worry about greedy low life operators ripping them off. I've seen a few people over the years who think this way. They are not among the best DZOs, but some of them have been successful.
  24. Pakistan is probably the most likely source of a bomb falling into the hands of a non-state actor. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. They probably do. Usually the new style bags are an extra charge option.
