i'm afraid i'll need a picture of said heather before i can agree to this

again, this isn't the fault of communism, but the thousands of years of acquiesence the chinese have had for totalitarian governments

is it me or is this exactly how "mein kampf" reads?

china's hardly your archetype communist state - for fucks sake, they've abandoned all the central economic concepts of communism and just kept the despotic elements that were in keeping w/ their ancient traditions of government fearing communism is weak-sauce. history has clearly shown that communism doesn't create an international brotherhood. the communist nations of vietnam, cambodia, china and russia all fought wars amongst themselves and only managed anything like cooperation when being attacked by the west. china isn't funding the cominterm like the ussr in the 20s/30s. mainstream belief in communism died there after the cultural revolution just like in russia after stalin. china's not trying to do shit but get rich now (whihc i'll grant, can still put our nations on a collision coure, since the lord jesus has clearly given us the right to the riches first).

bring yer surf boards! hmmm - wake up ball-early only to slog aroudn in the deep, gloppy avy snow or climb sun-kist rock in a t-shirt while drinking beers? there's a tough decision to make...

what is your worst fear of china? do you fear that they will become like the ussr in the 20s and 30s and promise a world wide exportation of communism and the overthrow of all capitalist nations? i detest what the chinese have done in tibet, but how is it qualitativly different from what we did in annexing all of the american west? the powerful alwasy fuck the weak, and we americans have been quick to use the 2 fundemental forces you refer to (force and propaganda) plenty in our past.

It was amoral atheists who infected the world with this and other genocides, some of whom *were* raised Christian (or Jewish in the case of Stalinist Russia), but hardly were practicing believers, but go on and delude yourself. I'd like to see far more good people of faith than faithless atheists who arrogantly say "fuck j****". No, fuck you. i'll grant you that stalin and mao were aethists and monsters, but history has a much longer list of moses and jesus-lovers who were every bit as bad; folks who sincerely ascribe themselves to a hocus-pocus religion have wrecked more havoc on this earth than the enlightened few who have cast aside the boogeymen of their primitive ancestors. the bottom line is to fear anyone who thinks they have the whole world figured out for themselves and everybody else in it - aetheistic, aggressive communism was a relgion in that sense. most christians seem incapable of seperating their belief in the big-guy in the bathrobe from the corollary belief that, being part of the faithful, they then have the right to tell me how to live my life. i'm an apathetic aestheist - the universe means nothing more than what i choose it to mean, there is no great calling, and i don't give a shit what you believe in or how you live you're life, just leave me the fuck alone about it.

and this thread is now the excuse for me to impart the obscure bit of trivia i have crawling around in my head - today's the 63 anniversary of the liberation of the buchenwald concentration camp (and i doubt a single one of them would have given a shit what anyone in this board had to say about anything)

Hey you mindless, ignorant, moron. Ask these guys what they think of your comment above! Better yet, ask me: it was 2 faced bullshit christians that did that shit to the jews and who make up the majority of the current administration - we could use a few more fuck jesus/moses/ahuramazda types.

"it's made out of people - people!"

on the plus side, a return to cold temps after a big warm spell oughta bring out some more alpine ice to play on

and not one person reminded you that the simplest and most secure anchor is to be had by merely girth hitching your tauntaun!

that's what snow is for no, snow in alaska is for pouring tequila and lemon-lime gatorade mix over

it is always advisable to take nice, soft wipes with you on an alaskan expedition

hell - if you want experience building an anchor in a really funky, funky place, climb sky chimney - the perch up in the cave is a wierd one - please take pictures and share w/ the group again!

dude! you're gonna get: a. boils b. frogs c. locusts d. serpents shit, maybe collect'em and start some sorta zoo?

start with roast pork and potatoes. A bavarian town without pork is not bavarian exactly! i was completly flummoxed when i ordered a schnitzel at gustavs the first time i sat down there and i was informed it wasn't on the menu - and no spaetzi either!

you know tvash has to be a sincere aethist when you see him fucking w/ moses like this

i'm all misty eyed to reminensce on the time before cc was sponsored by the us army, before the hoodwand had inflicted its horrible laments on the taun-taun-less, and yea, verily, even before dan the speed-racer had humped his first high-altitude hound.

i'd actually support this, especially if, in spanish, more than 1 of the 3 r's actually started with a fucking r! tvash don't self-loathe - he just loathes in general and indiscriminately.

word - send word - illinois?

thought of a few others while enjoying a cordon blue sandwhich at gustavs the other day w/ tvash, where there was ample evidence of the following: white people also like: vests - down, fleece, whatever. white people really like keeping thier titties hot and their arms cold. ...which is strange, given that they have enough money to afford sleeves... children - goddammit, white people love nothing more than more little white people. white people are constantly talking about their kids. they even use white terms to describe their children, like "beautiful little snowflakes." white people love children so much they get depressed when they can't make any and spend fortunes instead on trying to fix their latte-damaged reproduction systems instead of having endless consequence-free sex.

is it propaganda if he actually believed what he was saying?

geoff, would you rather go to ozone or broughtons? the rock oughta be drier for sure!
