hans rosling ahs some excellent talks on ted.com here is one he gave to the us state department im not sure if this is his infant mortality rate one but if itsnot you should look for it there are only 3/4 videos it explains alot of things about the world http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/hans_rosling_at_state.html

the billionaire who wasnt biography about chuck feeney one of the biggest philanthropists ever and all round absolute legend

of course they should pay i dont know how it is in the states but here in ireland if your animals(pets or farm animals) cause damage to someone elses property in anyway you are legally liable

making a statement is not good enough 'god dosnt exist' is a statement by your logic you must accept it as true with no backup if you dont want to back up anything you said or stand over it at all or give legitimate reasons for your view thats your choice, ill just take it that you have no legitimate foundations for your beliefs besides ignorance and religous bigotry s

why do you post in a debate orientated forum if your not willing to debate? also we can do without the patronising thanks hun

so do you think liberals are pro paedophilia or not? ***Conceptually, liberalism seeks to restrict Christian or conservative ideology. first of all christian ideology has nothing to do with conservative ideology the two are mutualy exclusive and you can be one without the other secondly 'liberals' dont seek to restrict you (christian / conservative / otherwise) at all quite the opposite, they in fact seek to stop you restricting others who do not believe the same things as you. and thirdly are we debating religon or politics here because they are similarly mutually exclusive and you cannot use one to prove or disprove a point made in the other

let me just get this straight you are comparing paedophilia with homosexuality and you are saying liberals are pro paedophilia?

a calorie isnt a calorie just because something is 500 or 1000 calories dosnt mean its bad for you most people dont eat enough calories anyway and they stay pudgy as a result because their body is in overdrive store food mode an avocado for example is high in fats and protein and high in calories its still really really good for you as far as fast food goes anything in moderation is fine

so you think what they are doing is wrong i take it? for arguments sake lets say there is a firefight between americans and the taliban and an american medic was working on the wounded in the battlefield would it be wrong of the taliban to shoot that medic deliberately?

just downloaded it there its a good film brings up some interesting questions that most people dont think about personally i havnt decided if any means necessary is the right thing to do or not its not a groundbreaking film or anything but its worth a watch

tell me you didnt just give away the fucking ending

its as valid as any of the other pro creationism arguments iv heard sure give him a 50,000 seater church and have him let rip

Probably, but you have slavery in your regon too and woman are openly opressed. And the prophet that is worshipped, married a child less than 10years old. The title of this thread is far from what would be acceptable in my country, but hey, thats just my little country. there is nothing unacceptable about calling black people black, at all.

do you get offended on other peoples behalf often? do you get offended if someone calls you white? why would htey get offended by being called black? i would never call a black person a negro id say black or african american if they happened to be american if they then tell me that they dont like that id apologise and call them whatever they want

iv seen an old skull and bat wings design with bsbd over it that i was told was an old skydiving motif from years back so the genreal design seems to be based on that op looks good make sure your artist is shit hot though iv always wanted wings and when i saw the design i was talking about above i knew id change it to incorporate the skull it will be a few years yet though before i can afford it

i dont think it means much without also comparing the numbers of the rich white folk earnings with the earnings of the poor white folk to make an accurate comparison

that is absolute and utter crap one judge with an apparent liberal history does not mean he speaks for liberals(im not a liberal by the way, i just hate the polarising crap talked by americans on both sides of the divide) any wrong decision one makes is deemed as a result of their underlying philosophy im pretty sure if i looked hard enough i could find a conservative who helped cover up child sex abuse in the clergy, does this mean that that is a policy of all conservatives? of course not dont be ridicolous

Since thinking is accomplished in the mind which is one-third of the soul, emotions and will being the other two-thirds, I can assume that the condition of one's soul accurately determines the seriousness of one's thinking. i seriously cant believe what i am reading sometimes i despair for america and its backward minority

how much did YOU pay for it?

ye thats what i thought it was the 'have a science or engineering degree' option and the 'I work for an employer who sponsors visas, in a job they would sponsor ' that confused me i thought the second one was refering to what you are talking about maybe someday i can avail of this option 'I have $1,000,000 to invest in a US business ' Do that, you've nothing to lose and you might get lucky. Assuming you are from Northern Ireland, otherwise you're ineligible. Don ye i will when i need to for now student working visas are more then enough skydive new england tuesday week WOOP WOOP

hmmmm i thought i was going to have to apply for the lottery but do you guys give greencards to anyone with a batchelor of science or engineering? if so i could be in luck

thats cool sounds like your all set man maybe something to consider is to not spend all the time in the one dz facilities wise during the summer skydive chicago is second to none, you can always go to cali or arizona or florida when they close and the more places you go the more contacts you will make and the greater the chance of finding a job after

it is doable but there are pretty big barriers in your way first one is the money, 500 jumps is going to cost you around 12,000dollars plus gear plus courses plus living expenses this would be fine if you had a job over there but presumably you will be on a holiday visa and it would be illegal for you to work which makes it harder to get work although packing for cash is possible 5-10 jumps a day is tough going, especially during the week when there arent as many loads and fun jumpers around and if your jumping all day when the loads are flying how you going to earn money cause thats when the packing needs to be done? dont know what its like in the czech republic but from ireland we can get a 3 month holiday visa for the states no problem, anything longer then that is more hassle so what visa are you planning on getting? after you get all your ratings your still going to be hard to employ because your probably illegal you would probably have a far easier time of it with jobs going somewhere like empuria or somewhere in france that a has a turbine having said all that as someone who goes from ireland to the states to work on a dz every summer (and who gets tojump fuck all cause f the work :p) if you manage to get a job its great craic and well wirth the effort good luck

my dz in ireland does which affectively stops me jumping during the winter(this winter at least) but my dz in the states dosnt

ye i was talking dollars but got it mixed up thanks for correcting me so fast makes it a little expensive its so hard to get second hand aads though grrr
