You are wrong from the start you idiot. When you dissagree with them, you are only displaying your contemptable disdain for all things pure and good. Rush 101.

Um, I own rental properties and am pretty familiar with who gets the bills. Like the housing market, the rental market is cyclical. I have to charge a competative rate. Unlike the housing market, my taxes don't seem to go up and down. I have to pay them no matter what I am collecting in rent. So you are not paying more or less in taxes on the rent you collect?

[quote=G-spotter If you own a car but choose not to drive it on the public roads, you will either have to leave it parked on your property,. or find storage from it. Storing cars on your property can reduce the property value (especially the old rusting ones parked on the lawn) .. That's what blackberry bushes are for stupid.

That's what most abused women have in common isn't it? Anyway, if you have to be abusive, this seems like the best place. I like a spirited arguement. It would just be nice to get a few more substantive posts per capita if you are going to bash people for your own behaviors. The result is tediom.

You seem to be catching up quickly with you're abusive posts that are rarely backed up by aything but machismo.

Careful G-. You may be exposing a "character flaw".

So are you proposing a Constitutional Ammendment to abolish the right to assemble? We do have laws in place to prosecute people who break them. Civil disobedience is the only recourse to a law that prevents participation in the legal system.

no, we are not. Only those of you who bought into Bush's lies beleive that. The vast majority of the world population dissagrees with you.

The folks who bother to vote voter turnout stats well, gee, W was reelected with the highest voter turnout since Tricky Dick was first elected. My point exactly. I am ashamed for my country. We are war mongers.

How about Gahndi? Should his followers have stood at the side of the road? Your arguement lacks teeth as would a meek protest. I submit that this presidency is over-stepping it's powers. Not in it's power to dissiminate troops but in it's manipulation of intelligence and deliberate lying to or stonewalling of the Congressional oversight committees that were established to maintain the "Balance of powers". We should all be out in the middle of the road. I am ashamed of my generation. They stood up so they would not have to go to war but they continue to elect war mongers, liars, and then sit on their hands while thousands of people die needlessly.

When every adult has access to the voting booth and appeals to the courts to preserve the rights defined in the constitution and the bill of rights - the moral and intellectual justifications that one can employ on behalf of such actions are few. I believe that the only reason that the first "action" succeeded is because the protesters included non-consenting parties - in this case children - in their ranks, and the police felt that they weren't properly staffed or equipped to forcibly remove the children from the scene. Nice. I'm not comfortable leaving it to the mob to define what's legal and what's not, which purposes the infrastructure can and cannot be used for, etc. I may not always agree with the law or the legislature - but in cases where everyone has recourse to the courts and the voting booth - I much prefer letting the courts and the legislature make these decisions. I lived through the sixties and lost friends in VietNam. If we invade Iran, these "kids" in the video will be forced to man the front lines of another unwinnable war. Do you believe the war in VietNam was a just war? Did we belong there? Would the legislature have done anything to stop it without the protests of "the kids" of the 60's? I seriously doubt it. Your abortion arguement is not about an external war we CAN and should avoid engaging in. Why launch more huge machines in order to take more human lives? Abortion rights WERE legislated via MASSIVE citizen involvement including huge marches. I understand that we are both talking about human life. I submit that the cause and effect are different (money, power), and therefore require different tactics. The religious right continues to support candidates, including Bush, who only pay lip service to pro-life legislation. Why don't THEY pull the plug on these candidates they so heartily support even after they know they have been used and lied to?

You know I posted about that episode in the girl's bathroom don't you?

DUDE i live in Oregon... pub club is at least a 5 hour drive You could stop at rest stops with your laptop, log into the WiFi and post.

I met Layton at Ropeup. He wasn't very nice. EricB was there too. He ate all my shrimp then complained. Builder206 said he would be there but couldn't get out of bed. Dragon1 actually climbed with me two days in a row. But he told poo stories an the way home. Porter, you two should hook up. Ketch was there in good form. He brought the sound and screen. CBS was there after climbing Cocaine crack. He shared neither. Ivan was there being obtuse. Almost bivied on Pressure Drop. Kelley came out of the loft on thast trip. Sherri was a kick. All the other girls ignored me for much younger men. The list goes on. It's amazing what happens when you reach over, turn off the computer and walk outside. I'm doing it this weekend. Leavenworth. Asgard Pass and Dragotail or something hikey/climby like that. Any of you wankers up for the trip? Or would that interfere with your posting?

Oh, and in Porter's case, pooh encrusted.

Hey. Folks. It's called pub club. Get off your lazy, computer laden asses. Cheers!

Rumour has it that KKK had a gay relationship with George Bush.

I'll bring the side dishes. So what is the difference between a rooster and a cock?

I am open Dec 15 to climb Gib ledges. So far I have no one to go with. Schedules and Rainier do not mix well but we can organize and be ready if conditions permit. PM me if you want to schedule a climb. I have summitted a few times by DC, Emmons, & LR. Never in winter. Got stormed off Gib Ledges a couple times.

You are a lot more fun lately. Kind of reminds me of the old CC.COM.

There are always people walking around in places like JT and the Valley selling gear. Most of them are legit but watch what you buy.

Cheers dude.

The biggest attack on the Free Market system is by international corporations, one of which our VP was a ceo before taking office. Monopolistic practices is not free market by the way. Look at who holds controlling interest in the World bank and other multinationals and put that side by side with who is supporting CURRENT republican party polotics. Republicans used to be characterized by their fiscal responsibility and Governmental conservativsm. Iw as always pointed out that Democrats were the war mongers as our major wars were all declare with a Democrat in the white house. Now we are POURING money into Iraq and soon Iran. Meanwhile we defy efforts to conserve energy or develop alternatives. So why are we in Iraq? Money is certainly part of it but the real issue here is power. There is too much power concentrated in the white house. It is destroying our country. I have never been a Republican but I also have never beleived that they are totally wrong. The congressional moderates of the 60's and 70's were amoung the best governors of this country adn I mean on both sides of the aisle. It has been the Kennedy socialism and the Reagan facism that have polarized us and thereby continue to distract us while our constitution is dismantled by these facists who claim the Republican label but destroy the party with their radical spending. They claim your loyalty with lies about Christian values and Democracy when they support neither.

meddling socialist engineers always trying to "solve" some problem with big gov't and only creating more problems... which of course they will "solve" with big gov't. repeat. meanwhile Archie pays more taxes So you are calling Reagan, Bush, and Bush Socialists? They expanded govt at record levels. That is if you consider govt spending.

Be patient. It will all be under water soon.
