It's worse than the subject of the original post suggests. They aren't trying to make him "Governor", but rather Governor General. Some idiots actually think Shatner would make an acceptable (even if ceremonial) commander in chief of the Canadian Armed Forces. As a Canadian I am against anything that makes our military any more a joke than it is already perceived to be.

It's not a good jump unless you lose both your instructors!

Not even going into the content of the posts. Skymama1 is liable to write a book about this sport one day just given her posts so far, and their length. Maybe helping make sure she gets the facts straight would be worth something?

So I picked a rig, I jumped it, it doesn't matter which rig I picked after I have exited the aircraft. If I picked the double mal I went in like that, otherwise I didn't. I win?

For what ever reason this video was edited for the purposes of television. The voice over was caused by the same thing.

I see CC-PJ(something, B or E), Chile according to wikipedia. The second C is obstructed by the door in the video so maybe CO but wikipedia doesn't have that listed as a registration prefix.

Why certainly? ... http://a.abc.com/media/primetime/afv/forms/AFHV_Exclusive_Release_11-20-09.pdf The release form is exactly what I mean, he gave permission. I didn't mean to imply he had to give it every time, just once, and he certainly had to.

Permission certainly. Payment not so certain. Depends a lot on weather they could get him for free or if they cared if they got him at all.

Ok, now I don't want to beware The Ides of March, I just want to setup a speaker system that allows me to make that my personal theme song where ever I go.

et tu skyrider?

I don't hang around any senators, I think I'm in the clear.

Wat?

As the holder of a Canadian passport I'm booking all my vacation travel there, split the time between that and Cuba.

Best part in my mind is the assortment of crazy people found to frequent a dropzone.

It's not defined in the definition sections either, so would the dictionary definition then apply? :edit: Or does this become one of those things that requires access to a legal library?

The second link, as I understand it, defines attempt(and accessory) for all offenses in the Criminal Code. 463(d) specifically applying as the various types murder are indictable offenses. I am not a lawyer however.

OP is in Canada. You may read it differently from me so I'll link the relevant sections of the Criminal Code of Canada. http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/laws/stat/rsc-1985-c-c-46/latest/rsc-1985-c-c-46.html#sec222subsec1 for homicide. http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/laws/stat/rsc-1985-c-c-46/latest/rsc-1985-c-c-46.html#sec463 for attempts. As a lawyer do you think there may be at least an opportunity to charge under Canadian law?

For a glitterbomb style mailing campaign.

Don't worry scrote! There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

I only hope we see photos of the men's team celebrating the same way tomorrow. They simply gotta show some solidarity in the matter.

As a ground observer, how much easier would it be to find a load exiting than them jumping from a chrome plated airplane, that would be awesome.

I'm new in the sport, just got into it in September, so I won't speak to much of what you asked and leave that for the more experienced. About the parachute however, that's why you'll be wearing two. My instructors told me to assume my main was going to fail. Maybe I'll pack it wrong, maybe it'll any number of malfunctions. It will be my training in emergency procedures that will allow me to save my own life. The reserve parachute is packed and inspected by highly trained riggers, it's as certain as anything on this earth to operate properly. Double malfunctions can and do happen however. There is always at least some risk in throwing yourself out of an airplane.

Of course, but the question is an intentional false dichotomy. I make good money doing something I love too. However say some kind of conspiracy was arranged against me and I could only choose from the options in the poll. I'd take the scraping by doing something I love option.
