  1. Really? I was nice about the spelling error and YOU jumped on it? What's the world coming to? Cats and dogs living together. It's madness! I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  2. Boobies. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Hello? Hello?

    Hey, sweetie! I noticed you haven't been posting lately. Love the pics of the pups on fb! You haven't missed much. Bonfire is about sex and stupid people most of the time. SC is toxic. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  4. Well...I think I did. Here's the quote from my first post. "Immoral? I recall a court decision years ago that said 'moral' was a religious term and defined those things prohibited by god or God. I'm actually pretty comfortable with that definition. It effectively leaves it up to individual discretion and outside the realm of law. Someone have a better definition?" The reference to God seemed to tweak your nose. That wasn't my intent. From my viewpoint, people use 'god's law', 'fair', 'moral', 'ethical', and other 'fuzzy' words that appear absolute, but are not. When they appeal to those notions in their arguments, I know their arguments are not logical. Their premises are subject to extreme interpretation. That means their conclusions are not truly conclusions, but a personal belief. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  5. Because biology isn't equal. The woman bears the result of sex and therefore should have the final, and only, say in the matter. If you were the one who got pregnant, you'd understand. Hmmm...sorry. Thought you were a guy. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  6. I'm reasonably sure there is no tool such as I have in mind. Just thought I would ask. It seems the engineers who design canopies might be able to give and estimated service life. Perhaps a chart where you could have years on one side and number of openings on another. Cross reference the two and you get a percentage that tells you how much life a canopy would be expected to have. Obviously, this would be subject to the actual inspection of the subject canopy. I came across a study from 1984 that examined the service life of military nylon 66 materials. It said the canopies mostly deteriorate in storage; lines deteriorate due to storage and use. I was just curious if any manufacturer had a chart in the back of a user's manual for a canopy that gave something along these lines. I know there are many variables that change everything, but there are some constants and averages as well. David I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  7. I'm a big advocate of authority and responsibility going hand in hand. THIS position says men bear responsibility, but have no authority. I can't see how that is any different from a man claiming it is all the woman's problem to deal with (He made half the decision to have sex, but wants no responsibility). I consider both positions clearly and fundamentally flawed. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  8. Done. Cited the US Declaration of Independence..."...to protect these rights, governments are instituted among men..." and made the point that there is no pressing public interest in restricting this freedom. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  9. WTF? Sorry. That really IS what came to my mind first when I saw 'Argy Bargy'. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  10. If you SCUBA, that is probably more of a factor. I've been working on buoyancy lately and I've noticed a difference. Try a decongestant and see if it changes anything. I suspect the drastic pressure changes are not something evolution prepared us for and the eustachian tube adjusts as best it can. I always seem to be more open and sinuses more clear after deep dives. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  11. It happens... Sometimes, there is even a violin thrown in...maybe a little beatbox... http://youtu.be/aE2GCa-_nyU I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  12. Almost. I think the word means whatever the user wants it to mean. It is therefore irrelevant. Kind of like the word 'fair' that's bandied about so much lately. If you throw it over into the religious camp, it can be used or not as you please, but at least we admit that there is no objective standard. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  13. Exactly. No objectivity. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  14. I'm not seeing any real difference there. I think you just object to the idea of god being involved in it. From my point of view, people place things on god that are really their own preferences and interpretations. Your definition only varies in that you don't blame the decision on god. It's still so very subjective, isn't it? What one person sees as good and wholesome, another might see as pure evil. So, the word 'moral' doesn't mean much. BTW...I'm pretty sure the court involved was the Louisiana Supreme Court. I like their definition because it places the idea back in the hands of theologists and philosophers. Since the meaning is so variable, I find that a good place for it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  16. I'm not sure how much etymology weighs into the matter. Pretty sure we're talking about a current, viable definition. I don't have a better one. It seems you do not either. So, the 4,000 year old debate goes on? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  17. Oh! OK. I was wondering how many posters we had from South Carolina and how we identified them. Glad I got that one wrong. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  18. I think that is certainly an effect. I don't know of any reason to think it is the cause. I think it only natural that many people who are enjoying a pregnancy and looking forward to the new addition to their family would consider the destruction of the fetus by a third party murder. I understand that even spontaneous abortion can cause great emotional trauma to an expecting couple similar to the loss of a child to injury, accident, etc. Moreover, the third party who commits this act would have to possess the requisite intent to kill that is required for murder charges. So, the intent, act, and effect are the same as murder. The only difference is how you view the legal status of the fetus. While that is at the heart of the debate on abortion, it does not necessarily follow that the criminal code was a devious plan by pro-lifers. To me, its just another difficult aspect of a difficult issue. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  19. One that isn't wrong? OK. Put words to it. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  20. Porn = prostitution as far as I can tell. Money in exchange for sex with strangers. I'm pretty sure some porn is done off camera and some prostitution is done with camera. Maybe the presence of the stage crew makes a difference? But I imagine some porn... who knows? Immoral? I recall a court decision years ago that said 'moral' was a religious term and defined those things prohibited by god or God. I'm actually pretty comfortable with that definition. It effectively leaves it up to individual discretion and outside the realm of law. Someone have a better definition? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  23. I'm reading what you wrote. I have to disagree with your assessment. Deep down, I think he's the same dick he is on the outside. No good deed goes un-punished. Sorry.

  24. Like I said, write your idea down and send them to the IOC. Maybe they need to have qualifiers. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  25. I hate these videos. They make cage drivers think all riders are idiots. That leads some of them to think it is ok to cut us off or otherwise make the roads more dangerous. This is a bit like a skydiver swooping into a public event and filming it because they thought it would make them look cool. It makes everyone look bad. There are race tracks that are open to people for pushing the limits. If you can't keep up there, don't pretend you can ride by weaving in and out of cages.
