  2. I try to asses how likely it is that I will die from each jump. If I feel the likelyhood of death is within my personal limits then I will do it. I would never do anything that would absolutely positively result in my own death(ie suicide). I dont want to die anymore then anyone else. I just choose to not let the fear of death stop me from doing things. Life with out risk would be very boring.

  3. I hate using IE for FTP downloads. Its best to use a FTP client. There are many free ones available like War FTP client and WSftp LE.
    Or if you are feeling ambitious you could use the command line ftp that comes with windows.
    Its not too hard just type ftp in the MSDos prompt and then ? for instructions.

  7. The number of deaths per year makes no difference to me. If some one wants to pound themselves into the ground under a perfectly good canopy, then thats up to them. As long as it is made clear to them what the risks are they are adults and can make that decision for themselves. This is a risky sport and there will always be just plain accidents where the skydiver did every thing right, but shit happens. If some one wants to jump a heavily loaded elliptical canopy and knows what will happen if they screw up under it. I say let them. The only time it would bother me is if they took someone else out on there way to pounding in. We should be free to choose the amount of risk we feel we can endure.

  12. Does anyone think that if the U.N. resolution to create the state of Isreal had failed, the middle east would not be in such a volatile state and maybe the US would not be chasing Ossama Bin Laden?


    This will make for interesting arguments. Anyone want to be the devils advocate?

  14. You know when I was a teenager I gave it some thought. I was just afraid I'd miss out on something really interesting.
    Was in a car accident when I was 21 and spent about 8 hours thinking that they were the last hours alive. The first hour was spent on the side of the road going into shock. I never gave up wanting to stay alive. Just had a lot of time to think about it and really started to get pissed because I felt I had a lot more to do then just die.
    suicide is only to hurt the people that are left behind. It is the easy way out. The cowards way out, in my opinion.

  19. there isnt enough room in this forum to state all the things I really suck at:|
    I tend to say all the wrong things a the right time and the wrong time. I am usually too candid. When asked for my opinion on something I generally give my actual opinion, rather then what they want to hear. I try to stop doing that but some times it slips by.

  23. dont know whether there is a god or not. I am content to wait till I am dead to find out. If there is an after life. I dont really see how believing in god and going to church every day would make my life any better. I will still live and die like everyone else. As long as I am being the best person I can be, I will be okay. I truly believe that church is "Man's" way of trying to control people. I dont think there is any religion that is sanctioned by "GOD". I like to be in control of my own life, that way the only person I have to blame for my mistakes is myself.
