The part that I quoted is the summary of an autopsy report by the vice-chairman of the Turkish council on forensic Medecine, not a propaganda piece.

The difficulty rests with the great popularity of Mt. Rainier with peak baggers, which makes booking in advance with a guide service a quasi necessity for people who want to hire a pro. The best way to avoid cancellation without refund due to conditions is to not be fixated on solely climbing Rainier and to take a chance there may be last minute spots available on a guided climb. If you are flexible, there are always safe objectives to climb in bad weather/avy conditions around the Cascades.

While Billcoe disseminates israeli propaganda: Gaza flotilla activists were shot in head at close range Nine Turkish men on board the Mavi Marmara were shot a total of 30 times and five were killed by gunshot wounds to the head, according to the vice-chairman of the Turkish council of forensic medicine, which carried out the autopsies for the Turkish ministry of justice today. The results revealed that a 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bilgen, was shot four times in the temple, chest, hip and back. A 19-year-old, named as Fulkan Dogan, who also has US citizenship, was shot five times from less that 45cm, in the face, in the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back. Two other men were shot four times, and five of the victims were shot either in the back of the head or in the back, said Yalcin Buyuk, vice-chairman of the council of forensic medicine. more here

We are back to page one of this thread when Attila, the other service moron, also confused cooperation and altruism.

I don't climb stuff that is worth talking about anymore, but please don't assume because you like to think the hiking you do amounts to climbing, that my silence on the topic is anything more than considerate behavior toward a creep like yourself (and that is altruism beyond reason because your behavior doesn't warrant such kindness).

Dawkins mentions relatedness among bees from the same hive BUT in the next sentence he says: "But there is a great deal of cooperation in nature when genetic relatedness cannot be the explanation. When the individuals concerned aren't even of the same species" and he goes on to discuss examples of cooperation between species. Not only Fairweather is a pathological liar and he is thoroughly incompetent, but he pretends to give lessons about the material from a class that he doesn't understand.

More lies from the McCarthyist thug. I certainly never supported either of these regimes or their actions.

"this", as in someone answered 2 of your posts in this thread? the first one of which responded directly to comments you made about him? Perhaps you should avoid posting on the internet, then nobody would do "this".

well, between their wanting to crush every national revolution in the developing world for the last 100 years, their campaigns against civil rights and their attempts at disenfranchising minority voters, it is already clear their idea of freedom is twisted. #1 priority is to get people back to work and that's going to demand investing. did you fall asleep during the dotcom bubble burst? what about congress canning Glass-Steagal on his watch? what about the loss of millions of good jobs because of NAFTA?

I'm sure j_b has an answer. The dude is such a problem solver. Unfortunately, the scenario is the same that it was for the financial collapse. Thanks to the warmongering oil guzzling deregulating corporatist policies you cheered, the public is left to manage a disaster of epic proportion and the cost will be extremely high. Good job, fuckwit.

This was a guided trip?

I wouldn't worry, the invisible hand of the "free market" will make everything nice.

What do you expect? It has been pretty clear since I started coming here that anyone who stood up regularly to right wing goons on this site was in for a rough ride and had better be ready for the most vicious verbal abuse. These guys lie, are mostly stupid, and systematically attack your person while rarely putting forward an argument relevant to the topic.

Fine, but I said 'empathy', not 'sympathy'.

You are obviously projecting your MO onto others. Time for a little 'empathy' from you, to get back on topic.

I don't go about hijacking threads by trolling, making inane comments or flinging random insults. That's your domain.

This thread is turning to idiocy like most others but it isn't my responsibility so I didn't feel concerned by your post. I always post in earnest and give people the benefit of the doubt but I can't be held responsible for others. I could of course take my marbles and go home but it would amount to capitulating to the knuckle draggers, so I carry on.

huh? where do you get that I want anything to do with that retard? From my answering to his insults? You must be trolling.

Breaking the rules of cooperation would be cheating, for example grabbing all that results from a communal hunt would likely result in no more cooperation. Cooperating to hunt doesn't preclude competition in other domains, like say acquiring the favors of the most dominant male.

Your sick mind doesn't seem to comprehend that responding to systematic verbal abuse by the neanderthals isn't in any way a sign of "wanting one another".

hopefully, Jackass can understand pictures.

right, instead of paying attention to what people like de Waal say, it's so much more "fun" to trade insults with people with grade school level reading comprehension.

Frans de Waal's awards, aka "the moron" according to Jackass: # 2010 Order of the Netherlands' Lion (knighted). # 2009 Medal, Società di Medicina & Scienze Naturali, Parma (Italy) # 2009 Medal, Ariëns Kappers (Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience) # 2009 Doctor Honoris Causa, University for Humanistics (Netherlands) # 2008 Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences # 2007 Time Magazine 100 World’s Most Influential People Today # 2005 Member of the American Philosophical Society # 2005 Arthur W. Staats Award, American Psychological Foundation # 2004 Member of the (US) National Academy of Sciences # 1993 Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences

Jackass came up with a new theory to justify his twisted world view: chimps always kill one another and always take everything for themselves. Go figure.
