Damnit! I so wish I could have skipped that fucking test. GRRR..... Looks awesome...I wish you had waited until today.

Huh? When?

Yeah, that's the NyQuil instead of the DayQuil. I admit, it works damn well but it'll also put be right to sleep, and since I'm currently reading a chapter about global climate systems I really dont need any more help. I dunno man, I think you gave it to me! I think being out in the mountains after a prolonged absence destroyed your immune system!

You didn't get my PM?? Looks like me and a couple of guys are going to do a ski trip over near rainy pass. You are more than welcome! No need to let something as stupid as a cold keep me inside.

I actually give walmart credi. I dont think anybody has been truly disliked by every liberal (moonbat), conservative, moderate, extreme leftist and extreme rightist at the same time. Walmart may actually be good for the board; he is bringing us all together in a bond of common hatred.

So, somehow I managed to get a cold in May. Fuck this. Anyway, the only decongestant / snot-stopper stuff I had around here was DayQuil. Why the hell would anybody willingly take this crap instead of the same medicine in a pill form? It takes absolutely horrendous.

Who do you think her prey is? Brashears? I think the single greatest thing about being a climber is you can look wrinkled, haggered, leathery and 20 years older than your age and chicks still dig you!

She seems about as cool as that sandy pitman chick. I hope she makes it down safely without summitting.

Yeah, I realize that is how the vote went down. The administration obviously realized that immediately following 9/11 was the definite time to slam this through. With approval ratings of 75% or whatever they were and the national sentiment as it was, no senator or congressman interested in being re-elected was going to vote against it. Out of curiosity, do you know who the 1 against and the 1 obstain were?

The "patriot" act, another fine wonder of the administration dedicated to eroding your civil liberties...

Yeah, I've seen that law...it reads: "THE NRA MUST MEET IN DENVER, COLORADO. MOVING THE MEETING OUTSIDE OF DENVER COLORADO IS A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES PENAL CODE AND CHARLSTON HESTON WILL BE SHOT DEAD ON SIGHT IF THE MEETING IS MOVED."

Yes, we are painfully aware that we have to pay to climb where you get to go for free. Free? Hardly. Registration is around $50 a year per sled, not to mention trailers. Whoopee! We pay (in season) $15 every damn time we want to go - unless you buy the "volcano pass" bs. But wait - you get a Snowpark permit FREE! with your $50 registration! Trailers are a motor vehicle fee. Bitch at the DMV First of all, I have and do pay the same fee you do when I "climb" MSH as well as my $50 to use my sled, which incidently I have not and wouldn't take on MSH for my own particular reasons. Secondly if I'm paying $50 for my registration and snowpark pass, how is that free? JoshK- your comparison is weak. They are both physicaly demanding in different ways. Machines may not have a place in the designated wilderness (something which there is plenty of in this state) but they do have a place in the alpine if good judgement is used. Some of you really need to be a bit more tolerant of other user groups. Nah...my comparison is fine. Any reasonably fit person can ride a snowmobile. It's an aside point from the actual argument, but I'm not gonna sit and watch somebody claim it as some sort of legitimate form of excercise. Have you actually ever been to morowitz meadows or whateer it's called? It's disgusting there after a weekend of snowmobile use.

I'd be happy to join you on a long ride and I'd welcome you to see if you can hang for a nice 20 mile, 12k vertical day. We'll compare notes afterwards and see which one is physically demanding or not. Seriously tho, riding on forest roads, while annoying to everybody within 2 miles is a far cry from the alpine. machines have no place in the alpine, end of story.

I guess I'll have to wait until somebody quotes Martlet to see what idiocy he came up with this time.

Kinda hard to argue with this.... Well, I argued with it below since it wasn't true. Cracked, as Squid said, either get involved with the issue or quit throwing jabs at everybody and anybody. You're like that annoying kid in middle school that told two kids that the other guy was talking shit about him to try to start a fight.

I read both of the linkes you posted originally. If you'll actually go back and read the thread you'll see that. Actually both links were the same thing when I clicked on them. Perhaps you have fixed it, I will go back and check. I do agree with him and what he stands for. You obviously think he's a liar. That's good for you. I think your president is a liar. Now I ask you this...what is worse, a lying filmmaker or a lying president?

Yeah... really out for the people... raking in the deutch marks while trash talking his own people. I'd agree our populace doesn't know shit about what is happening outside of our country. Why do you think 9/11 was called a "wake-up call" Face it, if people in this country paid attention we wouldn't have W as president. Then again, maybe I *am* not giving us enough credit, after all, more people voted against him than for him. Are you really canadian? Most canadians I have met are on the right side of this issues...

scott, you may want to present something other than a whole bunch of linkes from some dude's anti-moore website if anybody is to care.

BWAHAHHA! That looks like a well respected peer-reviewed informational site if I've ever seen one!

So you are arguing that even though the plant made missiles for 50 years and just recently Lockheed switched it's missile making factory to sell rockets for spy sattilites instead (we can't make new nuke missiles as part of the Start program) that it isn't a missile factory? Keep it comin...

...in 10 seconds... need any more? "The Truth: Lockheed Martin is the largest weapons-maker in the world. The Littleton facility has been manufacturing missiles, missile components, and other weapons systems for almost half a century. In the 50s, workers at the Littleton facility constructed the first Titan intercontinental ballistic missile, designed to unleash a nuclear warhead on the Soviet Union; in the mid-80s, they were partially assembling MX missiles, instruments for the minuteman ICBM, a space laser weapon called Zenith Star, and a Star Wars program known as Brilliant Pebbles. In the full, unedited interview I did with the Lockheed spokesman, he told me that Lockheed started building nuclear missiles in Littleton and "played a role in the development of Peacekeeper MX Missiles." As for what's currently manufactured in Littleton, McCollum told me, "They (the rockets sitting behind him) carry mainly very large national security satellites, some we can't talk about." (see him say it here) " Well, there goes that one. Keep it comin' indeed

Umm, I think any sane person would rather have McCain as secretary of defense. What does Rumsfeld wanting less troops have anything to do with it? Frankly, that's just more evenidence of the fucked up war effort. They had to start pouring in more troops early one when it was evnident they had misplanned.

I have no clue what Martlet said, but I'll assume it was idiotic and unconstructive. Don't worry guys, I'll be heading to the hills tomorrow afternoon for a few days. But I am curious to hear some people's opinions, particularly those you are republicans but can admit the fact that Bush is a danger to us all.

You keep blabbing on about his lies in bowling for columbine? Please show an exact lie or shutup.

Let us remember...Israel isn't the one who has started 3 wars against it's neighbors and vowed destruction of the jewish state. Israel has to worry about it's survival every day, where as the arab states don't have to worry about Israel suddeningly invading from all sides.
