  1. i agree. what he is talking about is a reaction to a problem not a solution to one. i never hear any debate on actual solutions to your murder problem from either side be it pro or anti gun its a social problem that will take at least a few generations to fix but it can be done
  2. your problem isnt gun free zones or non gun free zones or having the right to protect yourself or not your problem is your society breeds more psycopaths who feel that massacre is their only way to be heard than the rest of the worlds countries breed legalise concealed carry nationwide tomorrow and i guarantee you we will still be reading about another massacre in the states in the next 6 months and by the way i believe in the right to own and carry guns i jsut dont believe the bullshit reasons most people give to back up their case for it
  3. my profile is inaccurate but i still have a b licence in the states you dont need one if you dont want one after student as far as i know you need one while you are a student i do not have one in my rig as i simply cant afford one right now this does however prevent me from jumping at my home dz in ireland which sucks but whatever ill survive i dont need to lie or bullshit on an internet forum again you can take my original post at face value
  4. i dont use an aad so i dont beloved anything about them you can take what i said at face value i couldnt give a shit about the aad brand wars
  5. they dont make money just by someone signing up but thats a different thread not sure if id like them changing things in my aad even basic things when what they have already is not foolproof but then i guess its probably not a massive deal
  6. airborne, quick question lets say it dosnt take place in a church and no1 forces churches to let gay people marry unless those churches want to allow them to. what is the problem with calling it marriage?
  7. so your not all for freedom and equality then?
  8. Is the trim of the CF steeper? If so, shouldn´t it be flying different? amanda at pd told me that the cf storm is trimmed very differently and the two set ups fly very differently
  9. hey man facebook says unavailable due to privacy or it has been removed any you tube link? id love to see it
  10. i dont know how big your dz is but pd sent us 8 storms set up for crw for our boogie last weekend so you should be able to get them to send out some demo canopies for a couple of weekends maybe send them an email and see what they say
  11. which is why you aim to have as small as possible a percentage of poor people. you will never eliminate poverty completely but you can come pretty close and that way almost everyone contributes yes, we do not pay the 21% out of our salaries along with prsi paye and the levies so i dont see how you can just affix it on to get to a 61% tax figure. well they wouldnt be entitled to it for one thing, until they have been here a certain time and paid taxes. ye we have lost a lot of companies in the recession no doubt so all bets are off as to what might happen im talking about what has been happening and in the past we have a fairly good track record of attracting foreign business to come and employ our highly educated work force we tend to attract high technology high profit companies like intel for example. they cant just go to any tax haven and find the university educated workforce they need oh absolutely when i say obama is desperate to get these jobs backs i mean world wide not that he is jsut concentrating on ireland but we will be affected all the same this is the first one that popped up http://www.tribune.ie/business/news/article/2009/feb/01/tax-haven-ireland-on-obamas-hit-list/ ye we did have during the boom years alright mostly polish but alot of them are leaving now that there are no jobs to be found. as i said already we needed this cheap workforce here to build our economy the last 20 years of course i understand that but ireland has been consistently highly ranked as one of the top growing economies in the world for the last 20 years thats all i said i cant even remember why we are talking about ireland like this oh ye because i said that we have a national healthcare system and free 3rd level education and we are nowhere close to a socialist society........unless you disagree with this then what are we debating?
  12. regardless of the initial price of the system if more and more people participate you need to spend more that is not an argument for anything accept common sense. if something costs 5 euro but you want 2 of them then you need to spend 10 euro. that dosnt mean what your buying is not worth it i didnt say dont include vat i said even if you include vat we dont pay 60% which you suggest so you were wrong. ok ill put it another way. people who work hard and earn alot of money in ireland are not emigrating to america. some of them are but as a rule.. certainly not we will talk again and the same thing will be happening becaues we are a small export economy. we will be trying to keep your emigrants out and your companies in sorry to dissapoint you but it has nothing to do with unemployment rates and everything to do with value for money for the companies and how much profit they can make in ireland and not pay tax on in america. obama desperately wants all this tax and employment to return to america whish is why ireland is ranked in the top 3 most beneficial countries to companies as far as corporate tax is concerned in the world along with switzerland and the caribean as far as i remember but the other two countries i mentioned could be wrong btw thats according to the us goverment in case your wondering your argument is that well educated hard working people are leaving ireland because it sucks for them and that poorly educated social welfare leeches are leaving america to live in ireland because our social welfare system is better for them. im saying both assumptions are wrong because 1 the hard working wel educated can do way better in ireland relative to how they can do in the states and that the leeches you say are coming here have no way to get here and are not entitled to our social welfare system in the first place so why would they come? of course you are scaling all the countries on the planet to a comparable size otherwise whats the point?
  13. that is not the same as saying that 95% of mj users have a problem. not the same by a long shot how many of your clients drink coffee? or eat chocolate and assuming its equal if not more than people who smoke pot why are they not criminals in exactly the same way? its HYPOCRISY as usual
  14. why should it be cheap? our system is not cheap it takes up alot of tax dollars. it is still worth it. running a country is not always about hiring the lowest bidder im sorry you are talking crap people dont leave their country because they are doing well even if the country they are leaving is america to an extent we are now paying for having poorer countries in the eu but we would not have 25 years of the largest economic growth in the world without having cheaper labour emigrating to ireland. just like america would not be were it is today without having the huge number of emigrant irish going over to work construction cheaper. so now that we are poorer than we were why should forget about these people who helped us so much not even to mention the fact that without the eu we would be a 3rd world country so to chooose between being a 3rd world country and a technologically advanced 1st world country during a recession id choose the latter every time it depends what your talking about you implied you were talking about american emigrants and if you were than you are 100% wrong. if your talking about eastern europeans then you are back to the same debate as american has about the mexicans and canadians. neither of which has any bearing on the question of weather or not america right now is under a socialist goverment or not. i say its not
  15. (VAT). so that is true you didnt even put any if ands or buts onto you said that is true. so accepting that. whay should that not be the case in every society on the planet? personally right now i probably know slightly more people who emigrated to the states compared to emigrate out of but thats cause im related to alot of them i know alot of people who emigrated to ireland either way i dont see it as relevant to the question of weather or not obama is a socialist or not but i anwered it all the same
  16. thats almost how it is in my country and we are far far from socialist free healthcare to everyone in state funded hospitals you can still get private health insurance if you want or pay for private healthcare if you think it is better so you have the choice we also dont have anyone going bankrupt because of medical bills
  17. and heres another way you are a citizen too so you have taxes to pay but instead of giving you all the money and taking back the taxes the citizens simply deduct the taxes from your pay. you do not actually add to the national exchequer
  18. The Military-Industrial complex is the biggest example of socialism in this country. With a budget larger than the entire rest of the world put together and over thirty times bigger than a first world country with the same landmass and border length (Canada) the military is more about government spending and putting people to work than defense. Although the share holders own companies like General Dynamics, they owe their existence (or at least size) to the American government. The classic definition of Socialism is the government owning and controlling the means of production. Free family housing, day care, medical care, technical training. Subsidized food and housing. Most Republicans would agree that's socialism. Well, I understand what you are saying. However, the U.S. Constitution provides for a national defense military. What you call free is compensation for service. When I was in basic training I was told that we served in a nondemocractic organization to preserve liberty, justice and freedom. The government should control all that makes up the military. Its size is directly dependent on the control of the U.S. Congress. Now I receive health care benefits from the VA and they treat me well. However, I would hate to see that system implemented throughout the entire nation. Why? Because it would be squandered on people who didn't earn it. Furthermore, because of the problems inherent in the VA system, I also carry private insurance. The VA is my primary care physician. When I need special treatment I turn to the capitalistic health care system. So far so good. i think your missing his point his point is not that it is necessarily wrong but that it is a socialist infrastructure supported by a so called capitalist structure and there is hypocrisy in peoples attitudes to how things should work the only thing that will work is a mixture of the two
  19. have had both fuck buddies works out way better in my experience friends with benefits can be ok but iv found the feelings will develop on one side or the other eventually so someone gets hurt
  20. if it works the same as it does in my country(ireland)then technically your not really
  21. you guys (americans) go around in circles day after day after day how many more years is it going to take for you to realise that any extremist position is not going to work be it extreme left or extreme right obama is the closest thing to a centralist politician you have had in a long time because you guys cant stand certain words that you hardly even know the meaning off(socialist being what the enemy was being a classic quote from this very thread) capitalism / socialism / communism being just a few america has great great qualities but your blind leading the blind polarised politics is not one of them
  22. a quick idea for getting the photo you want in the end would be to take a photo of the background first at the necessary settings and then taking the action shot and using photoshop in my limited experience i have not been able to get good night action shots with stars visible
