The guy who was gonna close Guantanamo Bay? Where's da outrage?

If you were to spend even half as much time working as you do copying/pasting leftist tripe to internet forums, I suspect you'd be at least half of the way toward resolving some of the "issues" you are so clearly wrestling with.

Go easy on the little guy, Nitrox. His mom just announced she's renovating the basement.

Consider yourself "exhibit A". Ya brainwashed little fuck.

Nice to meet you all too! I've got a couple of good pictures of you guys coming up. PM me if you're interested. Did any of you get a picture of that critter that was crossing the basin to the south?

Trip: Lane Peak - The Zipper Date: 6/26/2010 Trip Report: Pope, Raindawg, and I climbed this route today. Still in condition, but the moat beneath the chock stone is deep and wide and must be passed on rock to climber's right. Firm cramponing in the morning. The summit gully is bare rock and the views from the top were nice. Gear Notes: Crampons, ice axes, slings, and a picket.

Timberline Lodge @ about 2:00 this afternoon:

(just in case he again edits his handiwork) for those who haven't done it yet, it's in the bottom of the first box in his profile No.

That's some funny shit. Looks like even Joe Biden has it right this time. Hope this interview doesn't upset the 'Bamster: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuKwBddoyUY

Well, since this is a climbing website, I do try to post content here in the form of trip reports from time to time--in a futile effort to mitigate the time I spend in Spray with morons like you. (A sort of altruism?) If only you would reciprocate. Hell, I'm not even sure you climb at all. The fact is, you and j_b have no credentials regarding climbing or any of the drivel you post here during all hours of the day. Between the university of Google and your all-too-frequent anti-Semitic posts, maybe it would behoove you to take a class, actually climb something--or get a job.

Apparently you didn't bother to watch your own video. See where Dawkins discusses bees and "degrees of relatedness" in his somewhat dated piece. But if you wish, feel free to continue believing your misinterpretation of a Youtube video stands above my classroom/lab experience. Then, try to get out and learn something.

Altruism is, in fact, coded for. The problem is that political agendas corrupt the science. This is how you get idealists like j_b or TTK who wrongly believe a concept like altruism lends legitimacy to their collectivist belief system, when, in fact, the opposite is true.

Meanwhile, I truly believe you and j_b should go and get yourselves tested for the DRD47R gene. It might even explain some of TTK's "issues".

I'll bet FW can come up with more credentials than that. Actually, we've been studying this in a class I've been taking @ UW Tacoma campus: Evolutionary Analysis. It turns out that altruism outside of kinship is highly controversial and completely unproven. A simple formula known as Hamilton's Rule: Br-C>0-- where B is the benefit to the recipient, C is the cost to the actor, and r is the degree of relatedness--can properly explain observations regarding altruism. Since natural selection only rewards individuals and NOT groups, there is no reason to believe altruism is anything more than a mechanism to ensure genetic fitness within a closely related group. See also; Green Beard hypothesis. There are ongoing studies regarding reciprocal altruism which may exist outside x degrees of relatedness and, in any event, simply represent tit for tat.

You can tell by T's posts when he's on or off his meds...

Chopper Jim knows more about the traffic jam than the poor schmoe who's stuck in it.

But, talking about running cyclists over with your SUV is kosher? Pffff, don't even TRY to take the moral highground and sound all indignant and shit. lolz

You're posting from one of those pathetic little netbooks again, aren't you.

The view from above vs the view a herd member enjoys. No matter how they vote, Catholics are a fucked up lot.

From your support for mass killing to copyright anecdote. Zero points on the segway meter. Can't blame you for wanting to move on.

Not necessarily. I'm just trying to show you that Catholics--like farmers--are difficult to pigeonhole. Your fire just seemed a bit misdirected.

Don't you really mean "fucking Democrats" Rob? Well Rob?

Will you guys be playing classical music?

So when's the big event?
