Whoa...what the hell kinda gay shit is that?

Rockin'. You're lucky, lift lines suck. They are why I basically gave up lift skiing this season. I can't stand having skiing ruined by other people. What hill is it, btw?

cracked, nobody was ignoring sadaam before we went to war. The situation with Osama and crew was quite a bit different. The intelligence community realized he could (and had been at various points) a threat but the actual threat to homeland america wasn't realized. Comparing that to the situation we faced with sadaam before we started bombing is idiotic. The entire country of iraq was on the national radar screen. We were watching him like a hawk just begging him to fuck up so we could nail him. This isn't exactly the type of environment that allows him to strike hard and unexpectedly at us.

mofo saddam put his goverment on alert on 9-11 prior to the highjackings. 1+1=?

Smarter than us, one might argue I've heard they are the only other animal that has, um, relations, for pleasure purposes. They have a language. On top of that, they don't cause wars or enslave each other. I think if I had to be any other species, dolphin would be cool.

Yeah, I'm with klenke. No way in hell I'm quitting climbing for a girl. I could see toning it down as well, however.

LOL. I'll give ya that one.

C'mon Dru, you know that's not what I'm saying. But you have to realize that al jazerra reports most everything an anti-american slant just the same as a lot of crap over here is reported with an anti-arab slant. All i'm saying is the "grain of salt" applys to them as well, despite lack of censorship. Oh, and I agree with you, it is the last thing that the hackers should have been targeting. Stupid stuff like that does no better at salvaging any type of decency in their eyes than does shrub's actions themselves. Hackers are obviously not the brightest bulbs in the bunch, however. Their goal is just to piss people off, whatever the cause.

Just because it's not censored doesn't mean it reports anything resembling the truth

Somebody explain what this war has to do with Sept 11th, please? No, seriously, I mean it...

I like entering profanities when you have to enter email to DL software. For example, to register QuickTime I would use UserName: SteveJobsBlowsAss@WhatABastard.com Password: GoFuckYourselfSteve

DId anyone hit stevens? I wasn't even really aware it snowed at all last night until I checked their website and saw they got 15"

THoughtful, Trask.

Yes. If you get more than just one point of view, regardless how "sided" it is, then you'll probably be able to better form your own ideas and opinions. The more perspectives you get of something, chances are the better you'll understand it. Agreed. My response was more to question the quality of foreign media as well. Some people seem to believe that if it from somewhere else, it musts be pure. I agree, the more inputs you have, the more easily you can form your own opinion.

Why? So I can see sensationalism and lies from other perspectives too? As much as we bitch about our media, it's a hellavu lot less propoganda driven as most all foreign media. It's definitely good to check out the other sources, but realize that a good portion of what is fed through there is government crap. This whole thing is just so sad. I'm just wondering for how many years we'll be bit in the ass thanks to shrub's actions.

Umm..yeah, I don't like seeing innocent kids getting killed, guess i'm a sorry ass.. Dipshit.

Maybe if you're really lucky "your" bomb kill some poor iraqi kid too, eh?

I'm glad to see somebody else realize that shrub isn't the brilliant military tactition that everybody gave him credit for. Spouting of your war plans is idiotic and never a good idea. The whole bullshit with we are going to "shock and awe" them and show them who's boss, and they'll never know what hit them was idiotc. In the mean time the fully underestimated the number of those idiots that would back up the army. I mean, even a ruthless dictator looks good opposed to some outside force invading your homeland. honestly, as sick as it is, the best thing that could happen for shrub & co. right now would be for the iraqis to attempt to make an attempt at chemical warfare. FWIW, that would get the world more pissed at saddam again instead of him.

Yeah, I've found this pretty suspect. Proof of chemical suits doesn't mean they have the weapons or are going to use them. Maybe, maybe not. Hmm...by that rational, I guess the US and GB are gonna use chemical weapons.

I think he was referring to the climbing budget, not the park's budget as a whole.

Yeah, probably not the best weekend for it. That plateau isn't the most fun place to be in stormy weather. Also, if nobody has gone up there since the most recent snowfall and you have to break trail the entire way, that will really slow things down as well. I think the trail up to the lake gets used fairly frequently in the winter, so even if nobody has tried the route in a while, you can generally find a moderately packed trail up to the north end of the lake

screw it, I'm just gonna napalm the crag. that'll fix the poison ivy, tick and mossy crack problems all at once. I figure the burnt look will blend in around there.
