Where else? Did Vietnam attack us? Did Korea attack us? Did Yugoslavia attack us? Shall I go on? Don't give me the humanitarian crap because it is just that. We have never done anything for humanitarian reasons in our 200+ year history.

What? 75% of the article is based on incorrect facts. Things like that usually make me skepticle of a position.

I'd hate to say it, but these bastards were already itching for a reason to go to war with us. We might as well give em one and get it over with as opposed to tip-toeing around worrying about it. Were in it now, elt do it right this time and be done with it. Fact checker is gonna get fired over that one; that is for sure. And they hadn't taken arms against us previous to Iraq? 9/11

well said.

That is what I do. Also with BD's you can just push the cam in the crack and it will go it. If you are really pumped this works great.

Mine was a surprise. I was already pumped, slammed in a blue tcu and kept going thru the crux bulge. Somehow I got horizontal trying to pull the crux and went airborne. Felt a slight tug and a nice solid catch and then got whacked in the nuts with the blue tcu and the draw. Yellow tcu is now my best friend.

Actually, six falls is the minimum, and these tests are extreme in nature. However, if you're feeling a bit squeamish, I suggest you give your rope to me and they are also back-to-back which means that the elastic properties are negated. Pretty extreme. There is a video of the testing I saw somewhere.

I went for a hike and saw some icicles!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering. The biggest whipper got me thinking about pieces yanking. I just had my first trad gear poping sensation a couple of weeks ago after working on my old project. Lets hear some stories about pants filling 'pings', 'scrapes' and "OH FUCKS!"

GM route with all small gear (we were only gonna do the first couple pitches). I didn't have shit in (just a #1 1/2 way up) and just ran it out took a whip/tumble all the way down to the belay. factor 1 baby! Nice and bloody after that one.

"If its tourist season, why can't we shoot em?"

The man with his own jihad... yes that's right salman rushdie's satanic verses.

You have got to be joking me.

Uhm... a couple other things. 1) Likud is being fought by Israel's leader as they are prohibiting the removal of the settlers. 2) Jews and Christians do not have the same religion; not even close. I am dumfounded when I hear people say things like that Israel is controlling the government and yet are supposedly the "PC" ones.

Your second link isn't working for me.

mebe not.

Guardian Article

well said will. One also wonders about the reported instability of the Democratic Party. I can't stand the pervesions either party has gone through and wouldn't mind seeing both of them collapse.

after reading this, I think I will side with the Stranger.

Uhm... someone is undecide how they should vote. I care why? I decide who I am gonna vote for based on my feeling who is going to protect my ass. I don't listen to people like the srtanger editors of the writers of the new conservative to tell me how to vote.

Well, its good to see that you've god some extra-ciricular activies as well. Hittin' some of that nice hippie ass, eh? There is pretty much only one thing I DONT miss about Washington...the girls. There seems to be about 10x higher concentration of hot girls here. That and we throw down like no other. Well, maybe not Chico State. But who the hell would go to Chick state?? I don't do hippies. I am also not in Washington. Y'all missed out. The sun came out and we hit the skate park and skated until the sun went down. Blissfull. Now we have some scotch and are gonna listen to some Doc Watson.

Well considering Mikey said 2/3 was hidden, I would estimate it is a bit bigger than that.

I just can't believe you take this silly paper seriously. It looks like it was put together by a nhilistic 12 year old with InDesign. When a paper uses "fuck" more than it uses "the," "and," and "it," you know something is wrong.

True enough. Gee I wish I could do more partying. My roomate mike has a comment about this:

Spending hours on computers is also a function of being enrolled in a University .
