Listen to Chuck. (always) Falcons are 9 cell non ZP canopies of fairly modern, but not up to date design. They work fine and are still often used in student gear. But mostly in larger sizes. A 175 is a pretty small Falcon. The material used will start to become more porous as it ages. By 500 jumps or so it will have lost a lot of it's performance. At 200 jumps it should still be good. Contrary to what some people believe, nylon does not degrade over time in any significant way. However, non ZP parachute fabric degrades with use. Not because the nylon degrades, (although UV exposure does degrade it) but because the weave of the cloth itself opens up and lets air pass through it. A low jump number Falcon of the correct size for your weight is a safe and effective canopy to use for learning on. Especially if money is tight. They can be had for pretty cheap because there is not much demand for them. Just be sure you are actually getting one with low jumps. You can usually tell by looking at the lines. If the canopy has been re-lined stay away from it. By the time a lineset gets worn out on this type of canopy the material will be worn out as well. By the way, the Falcon 9 cell is also a certificated canopy and as such can be used a reserve canopy if it is in brand new condition.

Nevermind all the death. Everyone has to die sometime. Guns are effing cool. The bigger they are and the faster they spit death out a barrel the cooler they are. Europeans, Canadians, Australians, and all those others may be willing to let bureaucrats and politicians pass gun control laws. But the USA is all about freedom. At any cost. So what if a few dozen toddlers a year accidentally kill themselves or their siblings? Lock up their parents for being careless. What really matters is that Americans are free to enjoy playing with the toys of war. As long as they stand at attention and salute the flag that is. And that my friends is only one small example of exceptionalism. God Bless America. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I learned long ago that it's pointless to try to change that viewpoint. America is willing to pay the price in blood for their right to play with the toys of war. You probably will not be a victim. And probably not your loved ones either. And if you are a victim of a shooting, most likely it will be a suicide. Carry on.

Ah yes, Jesus, the false Messiah. Christians claim he is the Messiah. But none of the things the Messiah is supposed to bring have come to pass. This is why they keep talking about "the second coming". But the Holy Bible does not talk about any such thing. And 2000 years have passed. Christians go on about their predictions of the end times endlessly. The Jews, who are after all God's chosen people, know that Jesus was not the Messiah. But they generally keep quiet about this because they have had enough of slaughter by the believers in falsehood. Go on believing in the lies of Rome. You too shall spend eternity in the fires of Hell for worshiping your false God. Along with all the other heathens. I'll be there to keep you company. Along with Normiss and Kallend et al. Truly a fitting punishment for all of us! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The Bob Dylan version: Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God said, "No" Abe say, "What?" God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but The next time you see me comin', you better run" Well, Abe said, "Where d'you want this killin' done?" God said, "Out on Highway 61" God has always been a bit of a sadist. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Jehovah is our Shepherd. As such he brings the lambs to slaughter. It is his right. To obedient sheep like Ron, he brings mercy. It is the belief founded by the sand people to help understand their lives. The same place all the most evil religions of Man came from.

And outdoor public gatherings. Why are they allowed? Such target rich environments are like people are just asking for it. If you are going to allow such events they should be required to have armed patriots at or near all possible firing points. Especially in places God may be unhappy about. Like Sin City.

Believe or suffer eternally? If that's your god's deal, he can stick it up his arse. I don't respond well to extortion. No use arguing. I agree, Yahweh is evil and not worthy of worship.

Ungrateful IS the new uppity. Seriously folks. People choose to protest this way because it makes a very strong statement and goes against norms.
