So how was Tiger this morning Chubby? Hope your partner brought his new belay device! I hear the GriGri just wasn't up to the task ... And remember... Your caseworker wants those job apps completed by Tuesday!

Of course you bike, paddle, or take that new solar powered plane to all of these exotic destinations to minimize your carbon footprint? Must make it easier to lecture us all about your green lifestyle.

Grow a pair angry euro shit sack. I'll wipe my ass with your green card.

Norm Dicks is my rep and the only Dem who regularly gets my vote. (Adam Smith in nearby Tacoma is a good guy too.) I wasn't making a D/R distinction for your benefit, just pointing out irony. I'll look into Cantwell's efforts to see if they are worthy of praise. I remain skeptical, although I hear she's been seen in the mountains lately.

See Prole's post above: "Wow, the contempt for working people doesn't let up around here, huh? Careful, the elitist underpinnings of your ideology is shining through!" Only your own ego has led you to believe I really care about your profession; past or present. Show me where I ever asked or speculated about anything but your employment status. Your reply above is only meant to boost your sense of self-importance and let all who are reading know you once had value. What does interest me is the arrogance and contempt you regularly demonstrate on this board - now confirmed - despite your claimed station in life. You're a Seattle limousine liberal! Classic. Call it what you want - I still call it unemployed. Frankly, I'm having a difficult time believing your story. Your tinfoil hat and ability to copy-and-paste notwithstanding, you haven't come across here as all that bright.

I disagree with virtually all of it, but do appreciate your sincere reply so well stated. Look, I'm no big fan of the excesses that exist within virtually all societies - America in particular - but the alternative is economic stagnation or collapse and all the human misery attendant with the transition to whatever model you perceive as superior. I truly believe this capitalist/political model we live in remains huge steps above a human history of anarchy, feudalism, mercantilism, agrarian collectivism, etc, etc. If the hard work and stress inherent in capitalism grinds some people down and wears at their very being, well, it is just a price that would be paid in a similar form under another system. The fact that you're free to express release via skiing, climbing, whatever, should be almost enough. The fact that you seem to view these pursuits as yet another form of enslavement seems more an internal matter for you to resolve.

No. That would put him into the very category of people for whom he's constantly expressing contempt. He's just a slacker. Are you going to address my question - or just go on defending Tvash?

Skiing on your locally produced hand-crafted gear, no doubt. It was a serious question, prole. Absent the corporate/capitalist model, virtually all of that really neat stuff we have would not exist. So does using it while railing against the machine equal at least a small amount of hypocrisy?

Normally, I don't go after someone's "ambition". But given Tvash's endlessly self-professed knowledge of all things I see no reason he shouldn't be a gainfully employed, productive member of this society. His triple-digit posts now extend from morning until late at night, so I can only conclude he is unemployed - or the most unproductive worker an employer ever had. As far as the Pepsi distributor thing, he's pretty far off the mark. Although I suppose some of the folks here who've climbed, skied and biked with me do know, I've never posted my professional credentials or place of employment on this site, so it's probably fair to ask exactly who is demonstrating an obsession here.

One of those evil Republicans? How can this be!

...110...111...

Yea. Whatever. Can you also spell u-n-e-m-p-l-o-y-e-d l-o-s-e-r?

Ah, yes. The homo-erotic post or the simple "buh bye". Sure signs that Trashtarketena has been silenced...at least temporarily.

Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, big old horrible terrorists doing really bad scary things. So we should, too. Or so your logic goes. I don't think you know my logic. You dismiss whatever I say out of hand too quickly to consider it. But that is okay, you are going to be right no matter what the conversation is, so bringing up other options is a pointless excersize with you. 'Exercise'. I only dismiss the really stupid stuff you post. Step up to your intellect.

Wow! You certainly are sharp today. Like a playground bafoon. ...106...

Sorry. Not interested in yet another Mailbox Peak Trip Report. ...105

You should apply! I hear your wife wants you to get a job. 103...104

Skiing on your locally produced hand-crafted gear, no doubt.

This state has what is becoming THE most corrupt government in the nation. I think a prop-13 type tax revolt is brewing.

Didn't read any of them. I just got home from W-O-R-K. How 'bout you Tvash? Prole - Click on "user's posts". It's really not all that complicated.
