  1. 'nuff said on Watts. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Probably should be in bonfire in Billy's thread. But I'll put it here 'cuz who knows where it might go. http://time.com/4484828/barack-obama-parasite/?xid=homepage Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. I ship and receive by international mail often. Sometimes fairly valuable shipments. Mostly by Canada Post and then of course whatever country's PO. I've never lost a shipment or had one damaged, touch wood. I think most lost shipments are the result of package damage in transit. If the carton breaks open and the contents are on the floor of the truck or the warehouse the shipment will usually be considered "lost". So package your shipments well. For Canada Post $100 CAD insurance is included, anymore is a paid option and the maximum you can buy is $1000. I never buy it. I'm sure one day I will lose a shipment, but so far so good. Thankfully I rarely ship to or from the UK. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  4. That's probably true. But you have to extend that to almost never in order to account for never hearing of Aleppo. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. I agree. I'm not outraged or anything. It's just hard to take someone so out of touch seriously. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. I'm just a truck driver from Canada, not a potential POTUS. But I know that Aleppo is currently the scene of some of the greatest human misery going on in Syria and has been for well over a year. You can not listen to any news of international affairs and not know this. It definitely says something about the man that he does not pay attention to what is in the news.

  7. To be honest it does not seem like a good idea to me. But the Fox News coverage and your outrage is not really focused on discrimination. It's focused on black people getting uppity. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. We are living the tribulation now. The Rapture has happened. No one noticed because God only found three people worthy. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. Well, she didn't have an answer either, so it kinda looks like you are. Fuck you. If it wasn't for when America was great; you're little island wouldn't exist. I'm not a little island. (And yes we would. Hitler gave up on invasion plans when he got too deep into it with the Russians, way before you guys came along.) And, just like the sorority girl, you still don't have an answer. So what's the difference between America then and now? It can't be the strength of the military, you're even more disproportionately strong now than you were then (and massively stronger than before you entered the war. Current pro-military factions in the US would break down in tears at how weak and unprepared your armed forces were pre-Pearl Harbour). So was it the economy? The supposed family values? The much lower divide between CEO pay and worker pay? The willingness to rip up the constitution and incarcerate US citizens and legal aliens without due process? What? You know and I know that the difference the Trumpeteers are longing for is for America to return to a time when white people dominated and the coloreds knew their place.

  10. May I put these files in my skydiving instructional area on my web site? If you tell me what you want on it, I can add an author or a source at the top. I don't even know where I got them from. I d/l ed them years ago, they are just randomly in my collection of helpful files. One of them has a name of who produced it, but I don't know that person. Googling the file names only comes up with this thread. But I'm pretty sure that whoever created them made them to help people learn and not for profit, so I would say use them. Possibly someone here knows who Andrew Donald is. I can tell he is Canadian from the terms used. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Depends mostly on the sizing. If it is a rig with small canopies there will not be much demand and the price will be lower. If the canopies are appropriate for a new jumper there be more demand and therefore will sell higher. Also, ugly outdated colours can be a factor. When I price stuff like this I always break it down to what the individual components are worth. Then do the math. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  12. I'm not going to judge on the "awkward" thing. But I will say as TI I would find it uncomfortable, and completely unnecessary. I've done nearly all my tandems from several different C-182s. I've never before seen or heard of such a thing. Both pairs always sit on the floor with the student between the instructor's legs. That is awkward enough for me.

  13. Ever spot for rounds? I did 6 weeks ago. Sport jump. Nope, I have not. That's a totally different ball game. Jumping round parachutes is also littering! Only with bodies instead of crepe paper. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. Throwing wind drifts is littering! A rate one at 2000 ft and another one at 6000. Pilot observes and reports the drift, jumpers calculate the spot. Easy. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. Not video, but I've got these in my files. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. It's only natural. Both Trump and Ailes know the "right" place where women belong. Under the heel of a strong confident man. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. ?? I never volunteered to be quizzed on the 1st amendment. Just because you run off down a rabbit hole doesn't mean I have to follow you. Indefensible positions are ignored. Gotcha. My position is that your country leaks it's miserable gun supply into my country. That's all. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  19. It affects us a lot more than you think. The oversupply of tools of war in your country leads to leakage over the border. Both the north and south border. We need a wall. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. To jerk your chain is my guess. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Pets?

    Last pet we had was April's rabbit. A mini Red Rex. She got it when her daughters were young and they named it Hoppy. They can live to be up to 8 or 9 years old, but Hoppy made it to 13. Rabbits love kale, and they can have it all as far as I'm concerned. We spend too much time away to be responsible for an animal. When we had the rabbit Granny was here to help out.

  22. "this machine kills facists" 'nuff said about Woody. Arlo is still out there being cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists America should not forget to celebrate this hero.

  23. That's nothing to be proud of. I don't know. There is something to be said for long term stubborn willful blindness. It allows you to get away without critical thinking. You just make up your mind and that's it, you're set for life. Just ask Ron! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. They should pick a song that's about how wonderful the country is - not the flag. Woody Guthrie left you a song to be proud of. I won't post a link, you know it already. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. I can see your point. But bear in mind the forum we are posting to. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
