  1. ??? now you are just making no sense at all.
  2. Hmmm, sounds about 80% libtard/20% anarchist to me: http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/12/us/chapel-hill-shooting-suspect-craig-hicks/index.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/11/craig-stephen-hicks-atheism_n_6661438.html that makes sense. all liberals are atheists and all atheists are liberals. good logic on ya. but he is also a gun loving asshole. sounds conservative to me.
  3. once again pointing out the lies. where is the evidence that this guy (craig hicks I assume) is a liberal? claims he has no political affiliation and if you were to look for a group to associate him with, it would be gun loving angry assholes. http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/everything-we-know-so-far-about-the-alleged-chapel-hill-shoo#.kcWyD3V1E This does not sound like Craig Hicks is a liberal by any stretch of imagination. So go ahead and call him a liberal if you want, but he is not one. not that it really matters but where is the evidence that this Hicks maniac is a liberal or even a democrat or even political in any way?
  4. there was some show on TV about homosexual men married to a woman while practicing a monogamous heterosexual relationship, cause God told them they needed to live that way. At least a bisexual woman can be attracted the man she married.
  5. cool if one could customize your own collection of locations for the chart. good find.
  6. of course you are allowed to think or say what you want. (within reason such as the "Fire" example) I believe our constitution has sections dedicated to this. But these protections of thought and speech are there for everyone else. So why do you attack so many people for speaking their minds? and use slander?
  7. once again pointing out the lies. where is the evidence that this guy (craig hicks I assume) is a liberal? claims he has no political affiliation and if you were to look for a group to associate him with, it would be gun loving angry assholes. http://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/everything-we-know-so-far-about-the-alleged-chapel-hill-shoo#.kcWyD3V1E def of liberal: Classical liberalism, a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties. This does not sound like Craig Hicks by any stretch of imagination. So go ahead and call him a liberal if you want, but he is not one.
  8. I don't need any outrage. the courts are dealing with it.
  9. it is not about PC but people saying stupid things which is the FW / Fox news usual mode. There is reality and there is the stupid crap and lies spread by our countries Right /conserva-nutz.
  10. this is completely incorrect. while there is no quantifiable definition of "a lot", as in 30% of whatever is "a lot", there is a assumed quantity the "a lot" means. For the sake of discussion, lets say that "a lot" means in excess of 10%. I would bet that most people would think that "a lot" would exceed 10% of a given population, but lets stick with that for now. But to say that "a lot" of muslims are terrorists is to say that a good number of muslims are terrorists. There are about 1.6 billion muslims in the world. If "a lot" of them are terrorists, there would be 160 million terrorists in the world. There is no way anyone could resists at group that large. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140506/14033627137/how-many-terrorists-are-there-not-as-many-as-you-might-think.shtml there is an estimate that there are 184,000 terrorists worldwide. Assuming they are all muslim (as most white americans do regardless of Oklahoma bombings show) this comes out to 0.000115 or .0115% of muslims are terrorists. This is NOT a lot by any reasonable person. I find it shocking that you would say such an obvious stupid thing. a better way to phrase it is a lot of terrorists are muslim.
  11. this is just silly. you will not be guilty of anything for yelling "fire" when there is in fact a fire. everyone knows that. you need a better example of what you are trying to say.
  12. haters gonna hate. same ole tired song
  13. my foot grew! these are now just a little too tight for my feet and would like to sell them. also posted with photos at http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/spo/4850873894.html I have this pair of Scarpa Freney full shank leather climbing boot. I have used them for ice climbing and I really like them for that. These got me away from climbing in plastic boots. there is some insulation in the boot so it is good down to about 20 degrees F for just standing around while ice climbing for me. I bought these back in 2000 or so and put about 40 days on ice climbing in them. Maybe around 40 days tromping up rainier and such in the summer. For the use, it really is holding up well which is not something typical with newer boots. Original sole. A very good all around boot that I really would not sell if my foot still fit inside. There was an issue with getting grivel crampon on my boot till I cut out some small bit of the tread that was making the crampon arms bulge outwards. the photo of the back part of the soles are there to show the small notches cut out for the rear lever arm. they have a old pair of superfeet in them. a bit packed down so you may want to replace with your own. these all leather boots are no longer made as they changed to a leather/fabric blend a review of these boots http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/product-reviews/scarpa-freney-boot-tested/629.html another review http://www.trailspace.com/gear/scarpa/freney/
  14. I have a set of pins that I will never use. posted at craigslist at http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/spo/4881154455.html the set consists of angles, 3x #1, 1x #2 and a #3 lost arrow bugaboo KB, 1 is a #6 and the other is unmarked but short and thin. I tried to make one KB a short with a hacksaw. that was a failure so there is one with a groove cut in. I could try to finish the job with a portaband if you want.

  16. basic OR goretex modular mittens that are mens large and blue. taped seams and comes with fleece liner. $20 is listed on craigslist but PM me if you would like to see a photo. has a waterproof patch on the wrist gauntlet area. very good shape otherwise.
  17. if rule changes are so upsetting, then how about these folks just go climb outside, where there are no rules. while I am sure there are exceptions, comps lack spirit and camaraderie. When climbing with friends, why would I get upset when my friend climbs something I can't? (usual for my climbing days)
  18. mr glass is half empty. though yes, any forecast beyond 3 days is suspect. certainly a 10 month forecast is as good as a lottery ticket. But I prefer to live in optimistic denial of reality.
  19. well, at least in the long long term forecast, next winter should be "normal". http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/multi_season/13_seasonal_outlooks/color/churchill.php
  20. I could climb decades at index and never get up a 5.11 I need to drive a long way to find new 5.9's that I can get up. there is a simple reason why the same climbs show up on many lists on this thread. A person writing their list after reading the previous posts are affected by those previous posts. Those climbs get "remembered" while the slew of other great climbs are neglected. I can do the same thing with my kid by getting the answer I want by framing the question a certain way.
  21. winter over? how about winter has not started. it will be ragin snow storms all june and july.
  22. would like to see what Drew's best / favorite / climbs of future list looks like.
  23. I bet dad is as close second to mom in belaying their kid. I thought I heard a women voice in the video. maybe the videographer?
  24. who is belaying him? I would think the best belayer in the world would be my mom. That would be the only person who I know would not be distracted. awesome job!
  25. throw in a healthy dose of cragging rock climbing and some ice climbing to wi-3. A solid technical base makes everything in the alpine a little bit easier.
