Thanks! At least now should the situation every arise where I have to flightline check a wingsuit, I'll know to ask "are your leg straps on?"... It is a great shame that for lessons to be learned mistakes usually have to be made. From what I read about the incident, the deceased was asked if his leg straps were on.

That is really spot on. I grew up being taught christianity and really tried to believe in it. But the more I delved in and questioned the less I believed. Now the whole idea of deitys is just too ridiculous to believe in.

I wouldn't worry about it. This is just standard nitpicking stuff. There is always someone out there who looks at something and wants to change it. I think what's most interesting is how much the price of HD camcorders has dropped since you wrote this.

“science should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.” Simple doesn't necessarily mean easy to understand.

That's good that you have no desire to do so, as you would have a lot of trouble trying.

Now you just need a course in critical thinking and you will be better able to reason out what is good evidence and what isn't.

I have to admit the first thing I thought of was trying that out to see how much somke it would produce! I'll bet the percentage is higher then 80%!

I did say attempts to adhere to the cease fire not entirely adhering to the cease fire. The least Hamas could do is refrain from firing rockets at Israel. You think that wouldn't be hard to do. It's like to kids fight over the same toy. Ya just want to take the toy away from both of them and send them to their rooms. Both sides are to blame.

Right, they have made attempts to adhere to the cease fires that they have agreed to. I don't see that with Hamas. I don't side with either side. I think neither deserves or is entitled to the land.

I can agree with that. The new MX1 might change that. I am anxious to see it.

At this point it doesn't matter what caused the riot. What matters is who will step up and take a leadership role that is willing to end the riot and seek peace. Till the Palestinian people are willing to put "justice" aside and seek peace, there will be no peace. You "justice" is just and excuse for violence.

It is Hamas that is at fault for this war. Israel has made efforts at a peaceful resolution. Hamas had refused to honor any cease fire. With out a cease fire of both sides there can be no peace process. Hamas was not fully elected as the leadership of the Palestinians. Hamas took over by force by ousting the PA President and taking over.

Hamas is leading them to war with no option for peace. Hamas is using the Palestinians and sacrificing them for their anger and hate of Israel. I would not support Hamas no matter what Israel is doing.

Why do you continue to make excuses for Hamas?

The problem is no one will be able to agree when justice is served. So the violence will continue unabated.

I really liked the first two seasons, but after that it got too repetitive. I tried watching it yesterday and just had to switch the channel before the first hour was even finished. I found it to be very boring.

It's just seems to be common to see jumpers on here talking about how skilled they are and jump numbers don't count as much skills. Reality is it just isn't true. Being a very skilled skydiver is just a part of what is needed to fly a camera. Jump number indicate experience in the air and that does mean a lot. You can't replicate everything about jumping out of an airplane in a wind tunnel. Adding a video camera to your helmet is very distracting. If you can't handle the distraction of a camera and be able fly a slot whether it be RW, Freeflying or any other discpline then trouble awaits. Adding a still cameras adds so much more distraction then just having a video camera. I currently just added a still camera and was very surprised at what a difference it makes. I am glad I waited to add the still camera.

damn I must be fucked I have 1526 jumps with out any malfunction or cut away! It doesn't bother me one bit!!!

I guess I need a spanking

Which one of you perverts is responsible?!!! http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE5063T920090107

The revolutionary war didn't last as long as the Palestinians have been fighting. The Palestinians have not been making any head way and one day they need to stop and admit to themselves that violence is not getting them anything but more dead people. Lobbing missles at Isreal has done nothing to help the Palestinians at all.

That is the most ridiculus example yet. Comparing Arafat to Churchill??!!! Try to keep up. Arafat was not a member of Hamas. Sorry I have sinus cold today. Comparing Hamas to Churchill is just as ridiculus.

If the two nation policy ever does come to fruition Arafat will be remembered as one of the key enablers. As far as Hamas not caring about the Palestinian people, would you say that Churchill did not care about the British people? His decision to bomb German cities cost many, many civilian English lives, but it was essential to victory. That is the most ridiculus example yet. Comparing Arafat to Churchill??!!!

It didn't do anything but line Arafats pockets. Arafat did nothing but look out for his own interests just like Hamas is doing. Their only interest is war. Hamas can't see beyond their hate. Hamas doesn't really care about the Palestinian people.
