  1. Hey, better than that, it shows the "gym rat" mind set.

     

    Gyms are a great place to put bolts though, and a great place to do "practice climbing". Ive actually seen trash cans in them too, and you can even push and climb hard in them. I like gyms. Gyms aren't mountains though.

    I went into a climbing gym once.

     

    I got out right before I vomited.

     

    But to each his own.

     

    What I think this article neglects to mention is what impact other outdoor seekers have on the place. Chubby suburbanites leaving wrappers around. Hikers wandering off trail. All that kind of stuff. I don't know for sure, but I swear that people have become more inconsiderate over time. They are more removed from the outdoors, less in touch with nature, and therefore less concerned about their impact on it. I don't think this is limited to or focused around climbers. I think it's just cool right now in the media to write about climbing and climbers.

     

    I've done the Wonderland Trail 5 times, and I could always tell when I'm within 1/4 mile of a trailhead by the cigarette butts and Red Bull cans.

  2. it is by grace alone.......

     

    awright, finally

     

    let's get some genuine theology rolling here

     

    One of the worst problems with the fundies (not you, bug) is their sick over-emphasis on the Pauline letters and Paul's whip-cracking harshness. If the fundies had just a shred of the mercy shown in Matthew, America would not be nearly so riven with vitriol.

     

    i can read all the letters and i know they are words in english but i have no idea at all what you just said.

     

    thus spoke ma brotha.!

     

    Speaking in tongues.

  3. My sister-in-law has a bumper sticker on her mini-van that says "Caution - in event of rapture, this vehicle shall become driverless". I asked her if she thinks she is god. "Doesn't God have the ultimate decision over who gets into heaven? "Yes, but.." "And you have decided that you are going to heaven, so you must be god, or you have made god's decision for him. Pretty presumptious of you, to just assume you have a pass into heaven. You have decided that you are one of the chosen ones?" And so on. I call her 'God' occasionally, and it pisses her off.
