  1. Why stop there? If its services provided to women who use their services to have abortions, it's 100%. Well that's sort of a non stat, which I'm sure is your point. But it is a little silly to equate a 30 second visit of here have some condoms with a multi-hour, fund taking abortion procedure. After all, the original remark (and others like it) was given to show that a large part of PP's business is providing abortions. And given thats they provide something like a quarter of all abortions in the US, it is. What would be a much more telling stat (which I don't have or know off hand) is not how many abortions are given vs total services provided, but how much of their revenue comes from the procedure. Otherwise, you'd be claiming something like because Dr. Bob performs only 2 heart transplants at 100k a piece and does 98 well visits @ 100$ a piece, Dr. Bob's scope of practice for heart transplants is only 2% and thus heart transplants really aren't a big piece of his practice.

  2. Guy definitely deserves a face palm for that remark and it sounds like he tried to repeat a stat, got hammered on fudging it, and then tried to wiggle out with some lame remark w/o trying to track down the real number. My guess is he was trying to repeat the stat that if you look at services planned specifically for pregnant women (vs all pts in general) abortion makes up 97% (2009).

  3. I never cared about the weather until I started jumping. Now I watch it religiously. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  4. There's something called the 4th amendment, that's why people have a problem with it. (Not even getting into the fact the TSA can't stop a damn thing. Internal tests have let slip 50-90% of "weapons" past screening). Seriously, if we as a people don't have a problem with a baseless fondling of a 6 year old, then there's no logic to stopping the govt from searching you anytime and anywhere they please. The bus stop. The grocery. Walking down the side walk where there are lots of other people in public. After all, it's for your own safety, and surely you don't have something to hide, do you?

  6. Of course, the most hilarious thing about a war on Easter would be any of the "Christians" to be FOR Easter Eggs, one of the most pagan parts of the holiday. This might clear that up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dqV81S9wx8 specifically at about 1:10 :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

  8. If he didn't sincerely apologize right away, if I thought he didn't realize the need to change his ways, I'd take his reserve handle and throw it into the pond. Going by the author comments in the comment section, I'd wager he thinks he's just fine as is. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  9. Yup! For S/L students, when you get above 7,000, it's "Gaaah! I can't see anything down there!" Now with AFF students, it's "Gaah!! I can see stuff down there!" That's the truth. I did my first 2 hop and pops for my A license this past weekend. 5k wasn't too bad. The 3.5k I was on the wing saying, "Hey! Those are cows!" Once that 3.5 was over and I realized I did fine (despite being a little unstable due to being a little too tense) and kicked out my line twists, I was ready to do it again, but I'd still rather have the extra altitude :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  10. Z Hills. Only cuz I'm biased since I finished my AFF there a few weeks ago and they've been great since day 1 :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  11. Congrats. Finished my AFF a few weeks ago, and am still on the high :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  12. Of my massive 9 jump experience, the Door Monster was really only around until my d-2 when I did a diving exit. Once I did that and realized I could in fact right myself really quick unaided, jumping out got a lot less scary. Not that nerves don't still kick in (in fact, I had a bit going up on my first 182 this weekend on my first solo, solo jump), but I just keep it in my head that once I'm out the door, it's all the same.

  13. Brew your own. Tastes better and is cheaper. At least, that's what I plan on doing when I have to hand some out :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
