Yes, I can swim.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I grew up by Lake Champlain, so I swim quite well after spending so many summers at the beach.

Oddly enough, a lot of people drown in NC because they cannot swim but jump in pools and lakes assuming that it will come naturally to them (I guess).  :rolleyes:

As long as you don't panic and you don't jump into the deep end I don't see how you couldn't be able to teach yourself how to swim in ten minutes. It's pretty damn simple.

In the first world, we have swimming pools.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Was the 17-18 age group champion of Central Norway in the 50 M backstroke, 2nd in the 100 M backstroke, 3rd in the 200 M backstroke and golds in all the 400 and 800 medley team relays.

So, yeah, I can swim. Since I'm a pretty chubby guy I have husseled jocks at swimming.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Swim like a fish, taught as part of my upbringing...

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

I do. It's funny with me, because when I was a kid (like 10 y.o.) my parents would send me to swimming lessons and it was a horror as I couldn't learn it at all, and I was afraid of water and whatnot. Then, when I was like 17 I just went into a swimming pool and started swimming. :P
