Reading a Johnny Marko post instantly begins the Spongebob theme song in my head (seriously, I don't post often, but I read a lot, and this happens every freaking time). Then I see Once in a a life time... and: "And you may ask yourself, who lives in a pineapple under the sea..." It just gets worse from there. Interesting helmet/ cameras. FML.

If this piques your interest in the Rwandan Genocide, perhaps read Romeo Dallaire's "Shake Hands with the Devil," or Philip Gourevitch's "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families."

Dear heavens to betsy... apparently this is the only connection that can be made, multiple times, on the main page... BUY FAKE PASSPORTS-VISAS-US BUY FAKE PASSPORTS-VISAS-US ...etc...

That... was... amazing.

+1 to the whovian!

I most consistently use Nicorette. I've tried Thrive, but hated the texture and the taste wasn't as appealing. I've also tried drug-store generic stuff. Hate the gum most of all.

Happy Canada Day, hosers! I hope you're jumps and weather were amazing!

Yup. And they work, but are very addictive. I've been smoke free for 3+ years because of 'em! I view them as the lesser of two evils. Problem is... now I'm addicted to the lozenges. I have looked into it, and actually am now ready to officially withdraw. Apparently it takes about 72 hours for the nicotine to leave you're body, and because you're not addicted to cigarettes, but have a chewing addiction (as I do, I realize) it's definitely not as bad to quit with just gum or mints. I say stick with 'em!

Thank you. For so many things. You've gotten this thread going with your questions and proposals. I don't see myself being ready to jump a camera for at least 450 more jumps, and you've, and other posters, have made me question if I'll be ready for it then as I don't see myself as a skygod... just a noob with a lot to learn still. I don't want someone (online or person to person) telling me I'm ready for a new tool. Learning the basics and learning to them well is fine with me... I'm 30 (gah when did that happen!). I do consider myself to be part of that "Oh... I want that on youtube" generation... and yet know I'm not going to make the youtube millions off it... 'cause it ain't going to be pretty, only amateurish and juvenile. Please folks: Go for the generalization that there does need to be so much experience before new elements can be added. Most of us noobs appreciate it... even if some of "noobskygods" don't. And as for the (il)logical fallacies Joey has posted... base rate probabilities and the argument from fallacy supports not his judgements, but those with the amazing wisdom because of their years in the sport, and even the noobs with common sense.

I had the pleasure of going through much of my AFF training with John 2 years ago. He was a hard-ass on ground training, who gave me exactly what I needed for training, and it was awesome... as were his camo-pants. I was looking forwards to getting back to Alberta to learn more from him at Eden North. It saddens me to know that John's gone. During one training jump later in my progression, I was looked up in the sky and just feet above me he was there... with this giant grin on his face. It was an incredible grin, and I smiled back knowing that what we were doing was amazing, even on a training jump. The next day when I graduated AFF he paid me an enormous compliment... but then followed it up with a criticism (on the PA of course) just so I would stay level. This is only my second death in this skydiving world, and man does it suck... I still don't understand it, and that's okay. I think, and have thought of you often, John. BSBD.

I pinged Quade, just in case he hadn't already noticed. Yeah... I messaged a few mods... glad someone hopefully stopped "it."

Ugh... it's back.

I work in education. I can't swear (too much). But... when I say FOCUS... sometimes in my head I'm thinking "Fuck Off Cause You Stupid."

In suggestions and feedback, "it" started a thread: "Note to moderators" with: "You fucka with me, I fucka with you." Boo to the troll, I say, BOO!!!!

Forget something? Must have passed out from the pain before he got the pic attached. Nope... apparently my pic wouldn't upload/attach. Sorry.

I have 10. All have meaning. I love them. I got my first when I was 15, and turn 30 in a week. Love it the same. My SO has a bunch too, and they're hot on him. One is of our dog. I have one that covers a very small birthmark. Here's a pic of the most wickedly painful one, shortly after it was touched up.

Considering that you haven't digressed back to your original line of questioning too much, but have merely tried to use logical fallacies to express you point of view, I'm going to actually try to answer your original questions. a. Have the democrats thought about that? Although I do follow some American politics, I'm not American. You might discount my opinion, and my beliefs in humanitarianism that I've expressed. But again, I'm not American. People can see from what you've posted thus far, that you are firmly entrenched in your homophobic line of reasoning. Do I disagree with your reasoning? Yup. Can we agree to disagree? I would think so. But me, and a whole lot of other people I know, think you're just homophobic. (i.e. wrong, but still unfortunately, entitled to that opinion). b. What about the boy? To which boy/male are you referring? You've mentioned a few... so I'm not clear. If you are referring to the child, than what of him? You're obviously concerned that he will be unable to normalize in Western society. IMO-Western society would not be what it is today both with and without normalization today. (And I will again ask the question that you have avoided... What about the boy? What's your answer? Why do you care? Do you have to explain it? IMO-whomever explains will hopefully do it in the most loving way possible so that the child is accepting and loving in the most inconceivable ways that only a child can express). c. Should same sex couples be allowed to raise children? Yes. (Caveat: Should same sex couples be allowed to marry? My answer: Yes). Because you're looking for answers, and someone to impose their beliefs on you, and tell you what to do, than: consider me "God." Get over it. Accept it. It's normal. Get over yourself. *Edited for spelling/clarification.

But why do you care? Again, do you have to explain it to the kid?

Two bisexual married men who both have have multiple sex partners yet want to raise kids, has little consequences on child bearing? So basically you are saying an amoral society is OK. That is of course if you think is OK for the guy's to have sex outside of marriage? I'm including B's as in LGBT getting married as I suspect the B's and T's shouldn't be left out of the discussion. Then there are morals. Two awesome wholesome gay men who are committed to each other and have been for some time (10 years enough for you?) want to adopt a child. Financially they are able, and can provide a great and loving home, and the child will have positive female role models in their life. And you don't think that's okay? Why? I think that's amoral. Say, after 30 years of being together, one cheats on the other, and they separate. Oh... wait that happens in heterosexual relationships too. Okay... your new proposition: two bisexual men who have multiple sex partners... what about a heterosexual couple who have an open relationship? What's the difference? Again, what's it to you? Do you have to explain to the child the nature of relationship of the parents?

How is the sexuality of a child's parents any of your business? Does it affect you in any way, other than from the sounds of it, it makes you uncomfortable? Why are you so concerned with what happens in other people's bedrooms and homes? Some kids end up messed up or completely awesome regardless of the type of household they're raised in.

Thanks! North Channel of Lake Huron... Manitoulin Island is awesome (although I so need to be closer to a DZ).

Nope. All I caught was this lousy sunset.

10 years on DZ.com Opinions please
