come on man, you can do better than blame me for recycling (i deny all charges!) when you recycle JayB's patrimonial sanctimony above. Plus, I love 'em. Really.

OW, if you're serious, this guy deserves whatever he gets. if you're joking, well then hell yes.

hey i said i was sorry. look above will you? they look fantastic, and i'm sorry if i offended you.

No, actually i was just kiddin about the liposuction, plus it could come across as kinda mean. i think they look great!

dude, getting pretty sensitive about those things? LIPOSUCTION.

And I noticed what might have led to your confusion: Note italicized bold-face.

That's funny, i would have labeled you MBSH. That's (are you ready?) Man Boobed Speed Hiker. Yeah baby BABYYYYYY GET DOWN whoooooWHEEEEEE

I will not quit until my child learns Intelligent Design in his or her school. No more anti-God secularist Evolution (Evilution they should call it) in my community.

My point earlier was that "ownership" is a codified legal abstraction depending upon a whole set of implicities regarding the nature of the "system" we live in. Yes, private ownership quite obviously gives the owner certain functional priveleges that exclude others from these functional priveleges (this is what, at its heart, "private" "ownership" is), and it was here that i was trying to steer the conversation. And yes, you are right in that there is no "ownership" in the sense that you mean it when there is forced taxation, since the state can confiscate properties to fulfill tax obligations (then there is Eminent Domain).

So I'm not the only one who had absolutely no fucking idea what the guy was trying to say. you two are cute together, and with a collective intellectual clout combining to pack a real nasty wrist snap, i thought you would have figured out what i meant. Alright, let's test the simplified version: "Yellowjackets are in the wasp family." There. How's that? Simple, succinct, factually accurate, and seemingly nothing to argue about there.

bullshit. the fact is with property taxes there really is no such thing as private "ownership" of land/property. What is "ownership" to you? What does it exactly mean to you?

umm you gotta rest. it sounds like over-use, but could easily become a chronic injury situation if you keep climbing if they are really hurting. Try icing (3 minutes 3 tiumes a day) for 10 days, with no hard climbing, and build up a little slower when coming back. Yeah it sucks balls to pull back (it usually coincides with peak power times) but you'll be climbing wayyyyyy stronger in the long run if you keep pain and injury in check.

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. oh i think he's seemingly a bright fella, in terms of having a workable algorithmic meme reproduction routine. I think he at times displays this (limitation? cultural advantage?) in a rather malignant way (although I don't see anything "wrong" with that either, since everyone here chooses their own war). I just don't see the point of muddling around in the first three chakras so much though; success in this domain could elevate one's sense of self-importance, and drive a man to afternoon martinis.

To me it seems it's a combination of legitimate but misguided concerns about securing the US, along with the opportunity to promote ideological practices regarding executive power in the same package. There are recent policy changes that should never have been approved by congress, and yes, it certainly seems that these lay the groundwork for the potential abuses you speak of. I may agree that these potential abuses could be compared to the lesser of stalin's actual abuses, but to do so reframes the arguments in a way that inhibits accessability to the germane issues.

She does though, early on in the video. She speaks of Stalinist Soviet Union, then compares how this administration is using his play-book. And you know what? This is fucked up. It discredits LEGITIMATE complaints about executive priveledge, end-arounds by-passing constitutional constraints, etc., everything this administration is GUILTY OF. It reeks of the same FEAR-MONGERING that these people accuse this FUCKED UP administration of DOING. AND IT SUCKS. I understand the fear of this administration, I share it myself, but the discourse must remain contextually balanced and free of the same hype that this administration is accused of, or else we are in the same fucking pit.

I had a problem with some of her premises, one being that Bush etal lifted Stalin's "sleeper cell" fear-mongering. She doesn't mention the fact that indeed in the US, there WERE sleeper cells, and these sleeper cells were the very players in the demise of the twin towers. Why she so glibly elides this I don't understand. And would you be confident saying there are no "enemy" elements, persons wishing to perpetrate harm on the "US", living here now, planning attacks? That would be rather foolish to assume, in a country of 300 million, don't you think? If one cannot admit that there are persons wanting and willing to execute attacks against US interests potentially here and obviously abroad, that person cannot be considered to be a viable candidate for a serious discussion about these topics.

I wouldn't be surprised if the American response of "oh this is terrible, Musharref you must bring back democracy" is actually replaced with behind the scenes support. The last thing this administration wants is democracy in pakistan; look what happened in Palestine.

COACH!

So you are suggesting an armed response to pakistan?

Ugh. Never would two pieces of wood find themselves on my feet when one will suffice. How etuffet of you.

Sport-climber.

Too dangerous. From now on, you won't see me messin' around in the hills, or anywhere else I might run into them. I've heard they are very killers.

No shit man, fucking sport climbers. They should take up skiing instead.

That would be perhaps your "relevant" point (and quite obvious); mine was simply that a yellow jacket is classified as a "wasp". ok have fun now bye.

Of course there are different species of wasps, but the (original) point is that these species are still classified as "wasps", not as something distinct. ok then. I would not advise you to meditate near a wasp nest, btw, for your own safety. Stay near trails, and use caution in the backwoods. Being vigilant is your best path to safety in wasp country.
