in that case, yes there is a problem, with that teacher, not with the current administration ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

When I was a kid we wrote letters to Carter. What's the difference? Oh yeah, you guys dont like Obama. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

I blocked your PM's because you make no sense and you wouldn't shut the hell up. And I hardly think you're one to advise anyone on how to act like a man. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Yes because how many jumps I've made has anything to do with my opinion of your irrationality and the sheer absurdism of you and your ilk Still trying to play the pimp with that little 300k cottage eh? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

JohnDeere, rushmc, warpedskydiver Maybe you three just need to get a room where you can stroke off to pictures of Ronald Regan and talk about how the colored folk are ruining 'murica. I swear to god, you people are worse than young earth creationists. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

My girlfriend and I did our FJC about 3 months ago and havent been able to make it back out since then. Will we have to retake the FJC to continue on with AFF2 ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Saw this a couple weeks ago. EVERYTHING is better with autotune. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

On my first (and only) tandem the TI (Elsinore, i think it was christian) puts on this 5 minute long fake conversation with his girlfriend (wife?) about her being upset that he's violating parole by being at the dropzone. Actually had me goin for a couple minutes. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

And if you ARE offended, look on this. I looked at every single photo there and I actually feel a little ill. spend a few minutes over at /b/ or somethingawful and that will seem like a disney movie. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Let me get this straight, apparently a plane crashes into the pentagon (potentially the most heavily monitored building in the world) an hour after one of the worlds largest skyscrapers is hit, and there is only footage of a small fast projectile and a subsequent explosion. this is the only footage releases, and there is potentially hundreds of photos/videos, but not available to the investigators. This footage will remain classified for national security reasons, why? go on kidding yourself and slotting people in a genre that fits your stance. scientists are scientists, and post whores are merely post whores. Everybody wants to believe so much that they are not wrong that they will let the truth slip by unoticed (by themselves only of course). I will personally fly to wherever you are and hand you $1000 cash if you can show me bonafide footage of a "small fast projectile" striking the pentagon on 9/11 instead of the plane that hundreds if not thousands saw (and ended up in millions of peices all over the pentagon lawn) put up or shut up, your paranoid rhetoric shtick is getting tired. And before you go for the old nutjo....er truther chestnut, loosechange has been disproven time and time again. Stop listing to high school school students on the interwebs. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Assumtion is the mother of all fuck ups, initially I blamed the GW admin, etc. etc. but I have learned that pointing the blame when there is no evidence beyond resonable doubt, is stupid. A bonafide investigation would expose all the evidence, including the 'said' thousands of photos collected at the site, all the video from the pentagon and investigating in accordance with stipulated guidelines. The NIST report does not do this, and does not explain the events beyond reasonable doubt, so therefore all you guys who think you 'know' what happend that day, really are assuming something based on false statements. It is all hearsay, until a proper investigation happens, it will happen. Then we might start to make sence of it all. What is the pentagon holding the photos and footage for? National Security? What a joke, there is no reason to hold that footage, none at all! If so enlighten me? First off, you said it yourself, national security. Youll be lucky if it's declassified in your grandchildrens lifetime. Secondly, they have release entire truckloads (literally in some cases) of data. No they arent gonna give fox news an incendiary tape that wouldn't prove anything. Truthers are the same idiots that think we didn't land on the moon. no amount of evidence will ever convince them that they aren't some super sleuth that figured it all out. Was there more foreign-national sponsorship of the terrorists? possibly. Were the terrorists aided by others on the ground that remain uncaught? probably Were the towers demolished by explosives? Not a chance in hell jack. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

And you would consider the start of a swoop from the moment when there are no lateral gforces and only forward movement? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Totally doable. Though is there an empirical way to measure efficiency/success (aside from having the phone in one piece at the end) ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Such as parachute characteristics like wingloading and whatnot? Or speed and height of turn? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Holy crap!! How DARE they teach our kids acceptance of others! How will bigots pass on their prejudices now? I mean for fucks sake, you might actually have to TALK to your kid. About stuff that matters! ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Pfft, they were obviously in on it. the government paid off all 10,000 workers at the WTC to not notice the MAJOR work that would be required to cut through beams and install explosives, the FDNY to pretend to die heroically saving victims, millions of residents of downtown manhatten to lie about seeing planes hit...etc. DON'T BE A SHEEPLE! ONLY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET KNOW THE TRUTH!11 IN FACT THE SCIENTISTS THAT BACK THIS UP AREN'T EVEN RECOGNIZED BY OTHER MAINSTREAM SCIENTISTS! tl;dr: "Truthers" are nutjobs and will never be convinced. No matter how ludicrous their claims are to rational educated people. P.S. Dear 'truthers' thermite is a horribly inefficient way to bring down a building. Theres a reason they dont use it in commercial or military demolition of buildings. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

I am thinking about creating a skydiving application for my android based phone. Im looking for suggestions on useful features. Assume the phone has gps, accelerometer (senses direction and acceleration), compass, and can easily overlay onto google maps and also has full database and number crunching capabilities. Here are some features I am considering: 1. standard dive tracking such as height, max speed, jump logging. 2. Automatic mapping of descent and landing pattern via the gps and compass. 3. Flare height tracking. 4. Gforce measuring. 5. Tracking of any other enabled devices on the jump (via google latitude). Assume the world is your oyster, what features would you LOVE to see. If/when this gets done, it will be released for free on the android marketplace and possibly ported to other phone operating systems ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

dont feed the trolls. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

For me I have no problem past 2000 feet as my anxiety just has to do with falling out of an open door. As long as I'm high enough to deploy at least my reserve, I'm pretty ok. I never get nervous at the door, I get more nervous sitting near the open door before jump run because its a pretty big door (twin otter). ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

So long story short, one of my brothers works for a porn/shock/gore site and came across a video of a porn star doing a tandem in the buff. This is hosted at a porn site so god knows what terrifying ads and whatnot might be there but its pretty funny. Needless(hopefully) to say, this isn't even CLOSE to work safe. The content isn't pornographic (just nude) but im sure there will be all manner of other stuff on the page. http://www.efukt.com/20507_Gone_With_The_Wind.html ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Thanks that's exactly what i was looking for. So out of curiosity who here has any bowling speech stories? What sort of thing qualifies one as too stupid to fall down? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Where did the "bowling speech" originate? And is there an actual text other than "maybe bowling might be a better sport for you."? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

It's YOUR thinking that is backwards. You will NEVER get rid of illegal immigrants as long as the conditions here are better than conditions wherever they come from. The only reason they are hired here is because they are willing to work for almost nothing and the government and law enforcement turn a blind eye. If the government actually enforced the already existing laws and forced employers to pay legal wages, they would be ZERO incentive to hire illegals, hence no jobs for them and they would have no reason or ability to stay. It's all well and good to just say "kick them out" but with 20 million people, that's just not physically feasible or politically smart. Remove the incentive by focusing on the one thing you CAN control. Legal business owners paying only legal wages will certainly reduce the amount of illegal immigrants. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Still havent figured out the reply system yet eh? Stop putting words into my mouth. What needs to happen is employers need to be forced to pay competitive (and legal) wages. If they did, Americans would take the jobs, there wouldn't be any reason for illegal immigration, and the problem would be solved without your gestapo 1943 mentality Right, I'M having problems with the "reply to" feature. That's why all of your replies are enclosed with "in reply to". Its common sense man. And no, it doesn't work that way. There will ALWAYS be some group willing to work for illegally low wages. The only way to stop it is to actually enforce the minimum wage laws that are already in place to prevent exactly this sort of thing. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

Do you even know what communism IS? Or you just remember Ronnie telling you it was bad and that's all you need to know? Employers don't pay barely anything in a communist society as almost all the check goes directly to the government. Here's a tip scooter, the government ALREADY "forces" employers to pay a minimum wage. Im just saying it should be enforced in jobs that are mostly done by illegal aliens. It's pretty obvious you have very strong opinions on subjects you do not fully (or even partially) understand. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
