You can live a morally sound life with or without theism. If you feel there is something inherently wrong with a system based on the bible, this online book may be of interest http://whydoesgodhateamputees.com/ It's an interesting read whatever your point of view happens to be. "...it is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions." - Clinton Richard Dawkins (1941 - )

Some fool had this to say: "No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God,"...... George Bush (spit). And he refuses to apologise for that nasty statement. More details here: http://bennyhills.fortunecity.com/hardy/203/nonbeliever/page50.html

There is a series of 6 pictures of the event here. http://www.sky.com/skynews/picture_gallery/picture_gallery/0,,70141-1210748-1,00.html In the first pic it looks like they are at the exact same altitude, although they look further apart as you go through them all. Nevertheless, it must have been scary to witness.

Aw, one liners? Class, I'm disappointed. I was hoping for something along the lines of: Machine in ad (from Blewaway5) Made in China I came in hand Machine and me "Hi! I dance, man." I cane him and Him dance an' I, I came in hand. Oops , did I cross a line? (Tumbleweed rolls past) Id: ache in man Chi: dam inane (oh, for the lack of an n) There, I'm done.

In reply to: I hope you're not supposed to be assembling anything REAL important. Nah, just Laptop PCs. Gotta get back to work. Check ya later.

I was trying to keep my mind occupied on the assembly line, so started to make up clauses using all the letters in MADE IN CHINA. i was surprised to see the result looks and sounds like a weird poem. I'll check back in three hours (that's my next break) to see if anyone's done their homework.

I can relate to that too. Irish weather also sucks. One of the DZs here has a written rule that if you've not jumped (or at least been there on a bad weather day) in 6 weeks you should retrain. In practise, this rule isn't strictly adhered to by many in that situation. In reply to: "Should I "test the waters" with a tandem again before resuming my S/L training or just get in there from where I left off?" People sometimes prefer to go back a step or three in their progression (after a significant break) to make sure they still have the skills they had before the break. In reply to: "Also, is S/L training in your experience worth it, or should I start over on AFF?" I've just 17 jumps and won't be jumping again till next year. Personally, I'd prefer to repeat the S/L progression because I like the feeling of accomplishment in doing stuff myself. _______ You know you are a skydiver when someone offers you a second plate of a very delicious and fattening dessert and you say: "No thank you, I'm watching my fall reate." - Allen Roulston

Hi, and welcome. Sorry can't help you with Australian DZs. You must be spoilt for choice though with that climate you lucky baa stared Blue Skies

QuoteThanks for the heads-up easyglider are you originally from these parts yourself? Liam taught me some of the basics when I started out and I'll def be supporting his operation when it gets in the air. (Can't wait!)reply] Sorry about the late reply. I'm from Clonmel, Co. Tipp originally but live in Limerick now. Like yourself I got side-tracked from the sport. A mal had me thinking about piorities cos I just became a father 2 months before it, then when I decided I didn't wanna give up the sport I hadn't enough money to go back. So I'm saving for a life membership in one of the DZs with the change left over from buying nappies. It could take a while, but I'm patient.

Hi Bluehair, did you know that a new DZ's opening in Ireland around St.Patricks week. It's near Waterford, they hope to have a Cherokee. Details are sketchy at the mo, cos the website's not up and running yet (goskydive.ie). THE former CCI of the Irish Parachute Club's one of the founder of this club. Just thought you might like to know there'll be more choice pretty soon. Blue Skies Mark

Hi Dave, First of all welcome and happy thoughts

"Hey, and what's up with the alternative profanities you hear from the Irish, i.e., "feck" and "shite" and "arse"?? " The "feck" and "shite" are considered more acceptable than fuck and shit: just like crap is considered more acceptable than shit practically everywhere. Blue skies
