  2. Yup, I'm pretty sure HPC has an agenda and is not willing to disclose it. I'm out as well. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. Not all jumpers have strong feelings about them. But jumpers in general get stupidly emotional about the strangest things. Whether it's gear choice and especially AAD choice, training methods, or disciplines, so many jumpers think that the only way to do things is the way they learned.

  4. What is it about any discussion about anything to do with Racers that leads to snark with about 10 posts? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. Hey Ron, when you get to your reward will the souls of those zygotes be there to thank you for trying to save their lives? Or will they be condemned to Hell fire because they never sought the forgiveness of the savior? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. Just curious now. A Reflex has the same issue. Do you pack them? The Reflex manual states that only the rigger who packed the reserve is allowed to tighten the loop. But there is no way to check on who does it anyway. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. You can all relax and get over it now. Trump has determined that Putin is not a liar. And he should know one when he sees one. I'm just guessing here, but I imagine he looked into the man's soul. It's how a POTUS is supposed to judge Russians after all. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/11/politics/president-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-election-meddling/index.html Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  8. My CSPA issued rating does not cover 2 pin containers. For that reason only I would not pack a Racer. There is another rigger in the area who packs a lot of them and I would simply send it to him. I would get the training and rating myself, but there are no Racers currently being jumped on our DZ. So it would be a waste of my time and effort. I suspect that riggers in your area who don't want to pack them don't know how as well.

  9. That can only mean that APS/FTS used an inferior material, or that the canopy was subjected to some form of degradation. Which do you suspect? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. The way I see it is that anyone who was already willing to vote for Judge Roy before this information came out is not likely to change their mind over it. They will justify it in one of three ways. It is not true, it is true but it happened a long time ago and things were different back then, or the victim deserved it.

  11. I just checked mine. Same as last year. And every year. Buried in my taxes! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. No, age is not a factor for me. Design and my personal qualifications and familiarity are. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. Where are you getting that info? Maybe here: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-41886573 Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. That is a simple question. God is omnipotent, omnipresent AND omniscient. It is appointed unto man to die once and then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). God is in full awareness and knowledge of who, when and how. We thank Him for one more chance. The simple truth of the matter is that the God of Abraham is a Capital A Asshole.

  15. As an unspeakable slaughter of innocents it is on a par with other acts of mass murder committed by a single man. It is not really possible to rank these things by number. Personally I find events that are conspiracies of two to few people even more troubling. Of course atrocities of war, sanctioned by governments or other large organizations are even more disturbing. The lists and particulars of the victims is so long that it is quite numbing to even consider. No matter who they are. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  16. if I owned a church, I would have a couple of .50 Browning M2’s at the entrance. Problem solved. Next Sunday is officially "National Bring Your Gun To Worship Day". I wonder how many accidental shootings there will be? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. He ended up with a standard 5 year time out. After that time he was good again. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Because organized religion so often organizes us to do evil things to people outside of our own group. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Ron, the incident began at 11:20 AM CST, 12:20 your time. It did not show up in the news till at least 2 hours later. If you were discussing the incident Sunday AM before church then it was a conspiracy and you are guilty. More likely you are just making things up. Again.

  20. Walter Fucking Mitty will not save your life. The white on white violence is getting out of hand these days. It's because of the rural culture. Where are the parents? Ron and his peeps need to carry for protection. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. linkies no worky. Both working up here in the northland. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. Given that, Trump would not have gotten any votes. Jerry Baumchen See? My proposition is genius. GENIUS I tell you! Except for the fairly obvious potential for abuse of a system incorporating such tests. It has been tried before. It was part of Jim Crow.....

  23. I feel for you. I really do. But what I'm trying to say is that the root of your Trump problem is the lack of participation in the R primary by moderates. This is also the root of the success of "tea party " candidates. Until moderate voters make a greater effort, the extremes will dominate. And the same goes double for left leaning people. And I can not overstate how strongly I disagree with you about mandatory voting. Just as there should be no qualfing test for the right to vote there is no reason to think everyone should not do there duty and vote with whatever knowledge they have. It is the worst kind of elitism to assume that anyone is not informed enough to vote. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. I see it as you are missing my point. No system is perfect. There is no constitutional requirement that there only be two parties. The primary system only creates more extreme candidates because only a small number of people are motivated to vote in them. The biggest and simplest reform you could have is mandatory voting. But instead you have politicians doing as much as they can to discourage voters. Every system has flaws. It is unwise and extremely unlikely to wish for wholesale changes in the basic functioning of the electoral system. It would have unintended consequences that may make it worse anyway. All you really need is participation. I repeat, your society has the government it deserves. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. It's not really Trump's plan. It's Ryan's plan with some input from Trump. Tax policy is complicated. Who knew? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
