  1. The inevitable result of a sustained thirty year long pogrom directed against the education system in this country. The GOP wanted to decimate the schools and they succeeded.

  2. You left the UK to come to the US to get away from a police state? Really? How'd that work out for you? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  3. So, without knowing where this was shot, and without knowing if the bike was doing a legal move or not ( I'm guessing not ), the only conclusion this disinterested third party can come to is: Double Fault.

  4. It's the same no matter which way you choose. Slow motion suicide either by fork or by cig. I'd love to know which one costs more. Cigs are premo expensive, and the disease process can get into the stratosphere in terms of individual costs. While food is relatively cheap, the disease process lasts a lot longer and the food choices of a population can alter the environment that population inhabits. There it can cause more disease by itself. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

  5. Doesn't matter. If you hold no belief in a deity or religion, you're an atheist. Whether you accept the label or not. You might claim agnostic based on some intellectual position or empirical one, but that doesn't change one's status as far as the atheist title is concerned. Non belief is non belief, period. The reason why is not applicable. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

  6. I love the Porter when the load is light (4-6), [Took one to 16.5 in ~10 mins with 4 on board once] but when the load is heavy ( 8+), forget it. They are too cramped. They are a great STOL plane and have a large door that gets completely out of the way. Although there's a lot of criticism about the door being on the "wrong" side of the plane, I don't share that view. The down side would be operating and repair costs.

  7. I'm out of the sport for this season and possibly next season due to the financial aftermath of a divorce. I miss it with every fiber of my being. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  8. Won't work here. Americans are committed to the Standard American Diet. Nothing short of wholesale armageddon will change that. There are data points out there that suggest this will be the first generation after the industrial revolution to actually decrease its lifespan. Sad that we can't come to a consensus that the shit on your plate will kill you just as dead as the tobacco in your hand. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  9. Yes he was. Atheist is what one is when one does not hold a belief in a deity, religion or dogma. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  10. 103 for a teenager is impressive. Particularly when most teens can't think their way out of a wet paper bag. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  12. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't get either rating. Just get a riggers ticket if you must be in the business. The income is much more steady and the long term growth is better. Otherwise, just be in the sport for the sports sake. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

  13. +1 Probably the knight she befriended did it. But they'll still blame Tyrian. Poor guy. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

  15. We have known since the 90's that the SCOTUS ruled that you are only allowed to own something as long as it's convenient for the government to allow you to own it. One of the states even foreclosed on a justice's ( Souter )house to prove the point. It didn't work. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  17. Depends what your confort level is at big DZ's. Perris is BIG , like regional boogie size big. Elsinore is big too but only big drop zone big. Both are very cool places and both will allow you as many jumps as your wallet will allow. The infrastructure at Perris is a bit better ( meaning there are more facilities ) than Elsinore, but Elsinore, due its overall smaller size might have more intamacy and a more relaxed vibe. Perris, on the other hand might be able to offer more of a variety of jump types. You won't go wrong at either one. Besides they're close enough to each other that an either/or choice is not needed.

  18. Not that I have the same issue, but I'm getting rid of a tennant because he just doesn't get it. He seems to be totally unaware that sound travels and that it's not a good idea to continually have loud playstation parties when your roomate has to get up at 0500 for day shift. I don't know what they're teaching in school these days, but physics ain't it. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  19. The short answer is yes. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  20. We don't call it "nylon crack" for no reason......
  21. True. If only that a direct democracy, one where everything was a referendum would be an unmanagable mess. Nothing would or could get done due to the process itself.

  22. I'll take a stab here. I hate them because they have evolved from the kind of persons they were when I was a kid. Back in the day of the 60's/70's, most of the 1% were content to just hang out in their country clubs and thier yacht clubs, golf clubs and social clubs and just do things like that. Then, when Ronnie boy got elected, they en masse shifted. It was no longer enough for them to just have their fortunes and be happy, they wanted more. It was no longer enough for them to make good for themselves, they had to do that and then close the door behind them. They began an overt campaign to price the tools of upward mobility oput of reach for all but a chosen few. They began a movement to purchase the government. They sought and are seeking to dismantle and privatize the public assests, starting with schools. They are co opting the state and the states to become nothing more than an income steam for themselves. They are turning resources ito commodities, commodities into money and taking that money out of the market. They have open contempt for those not in their class and they feel they have a right to loot my money and property for their gain and my loss, all while taking delight in my downfall. They bask in the facade of patriotism, yet undermine the state in many ways, some overt, some covert. they have no loyalty to the land that gave them everything and seem to think it owes them more. They are insatiable and will think nothing of it if it will get them another short term gain. So, yeah, I hate the rich. Editied due to auto correct. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  23. So no one has a legitimate claim to being a victim of institutionalized discrimination, racism or class pressure, huh? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
