Fuck, you guys are clueless. It's all about SATELLITE TV. You can even get PORN.

Hey fuck you erik. You're off the Extremo fan-club roster, bitch.

I think the answer is penis-enlargement folks. Big trucks and big guns are all the fault of small penises. Buy a pump fellas, and keep your soccer-mom happy.

Individuals in the US get REALLY pissed when you point your finger at THEIR personal choices. And then they point the finger back at you.... Example: I've consumed a LOT of petroleum jellie

The reason people are upset is because scientists and policy makers have come up with ideas on how to begin handling the situation, and unfortunately the corrupt, greedy petroleum lobby stands in the way.

Fuck Yeah Extremo! Glad to hear Las Lenas is treating you well. Keep shreddin'!

Is this the game where Erik tries to expose all of trask's avatars one at a time?

I think super-tacos often scare people out of doing stuff they otherwise would do, especially in the valley. I'd love to see what the super-topo looks like for DNB, bwahaha.

Global warming and the Greenhouse effect are not the same thing. One is a result of many atmospheric (and earth orbital) processes, the other is an atmospheric process.

Here's the problem: Anecdotal evidence is rarely used to make sweeping scientific generalizations, it's usually considered bad science. But when enough anecdotes have been amassed, say 100 years from now. Our progeny will look back and say, "how could we have been so stupid?". Unfortunately the actual data that atmospheric and earth scientists use to demonstate that gobal warming is occuring (i.e. bedrock borehole studies, average surface temperature maps) is not what most people read. For as long as we have a record, CO2 concentrations and temperature have always been coupled.

Ade, check out this thread. Fern posted some useful information from rope manufacturers on what does and what does not damage ropes. Also consult some of the rope-manufacturer websites, which is what I did. Thread Link

Greg, you're a girl. Gin and Tonic, Porter, or Stout. "Oooh, I like vodka because you can't really taste it."

I wouldn't doubt if those were in the brochure too.

Okay, I lied. One funny tidbit of that propoganda. The Mormon, Republican Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch put out a "public service brochure" on drug addiction for parents in Utah. One of the warning signs that your child may be using drugs in the brochure is an irrational and sudden interest in social issues and an increasing liberal political attitude.

Greg, I respect your opinion and I'll leave it at that, even though I do disagree. One minor point I'd like to make is that much of the "awareness education" out there about drugs is nothing more than sensationalized propoganda. Sure there is a lot of useful, factual information we can gain but much of that information that is forced upon our children is bullshit. I don't want to start a debate on the topic, so I ain't gonna post again, but one of the BIGGIES is the idea that marijuana is a gateway drug.

No offense to you, E-rock, you're not the only one who says this, but this is the hugest crock of SHIT I have ever heard. What the fuck is a "fair shake from society"? Did "society" force this guy to take drugs, steal your identity, etc.? The notion of a "society" granting a "fair shake" is unimaginable. As individuals that make up a "society", do we all get together and decide that E-rock's friend should get a "fair shake"? At the group meeting, we agreed that Trask will give E-rock's friend a job down at the hardware store because he "deserves a fair shake", not because he's qualified. Also, we agreed that Robbob would rent E-rock's friend his converted garage for next to nothing, because E-rock's had "a tough go of it" being an addict and all. Towards the end of the night, it was decided by the group that Sisu Suomi would sell E-rock's friend his old Toyota pickup for less than blue book, well, to help this poor guy out who's never had a "fair shake from society." What a load of crap. Pull yourself out of the gutter, CHOOSE to get a job and be productive, and make something of yourself. Greg_W Kinda harsh, Greg. People do things like this for each other everyday. Just because you're not the kind of person who wants to, doesn't mean others don't. But what I mean by "fair shake" is that I don't think he deserves to go to prison and recieve Trask's "prison-overcrowding final solution". People do choose to take drugs, but they don't choose the addiction. You've met me, I'd even say that you like me, hell I think you're a swell guy. But would you believe that I almost took a wrong turn when that guy was my "friend" and almost got started shooting smack. I'm a stronger person than that now. I was then , just barely. Drug addiction is a physical illness that usually begins because of some other physical/mental illness such as depression. Noone chooses to be a junky.

Think of them as "mental" sick days. To prevent me from snapping and "pumping round after round into colleagues and coworkers."

Bitch!

So my dental coverage isn't "there to be used"? I have to wait until I have a cavity to cash in on my insurance?

I've had junkies fuck with my life, one stole my identity, and landed my ass in jail years after the last time I saw him. But I still believe he deserves a second chance and fair shake from society. After I kick his fucking worthless ass that is.

Carnitas is the best! Many anthropologists are now convinced that the reason Hebrew culture abstained from pork had more to do with thermodyamics than fear of disease. The pig occupies the same omnivorous portion of the food web as humans do. Theirfore, the food that pigs eat, people can eat too and gain a greater thermodynamic return on their labor investment. In a harsh desert environment where food is scarce and agriculture is difficult it makes sense. Several middle-eatern cultures with better established agriculture did eat pork, at the the same time as Hebrews abstained.

'Specially if they're 14 and kinda slow, huh?

I think maybe a good Mantra when soloing would be "People DON'T die soloing". Because if you look at the accident statistics, that's NOT how climbers typically die.

I keep hearing tragic story after tragic story about people rapping off the ends of their ropes. The simple solution is to tie ends, but I don't always do it when I "know" the rope will make it. However, every time I rap I say to myself in my mind, "this is how people die". Is it truly a safety precaution to conciously remind yourself of the dangers of a given activity before taking part in it? Or is it a false precaution with no real value? In other words are we at the same risk, whether or not we voice it to ourselves?

My ass isn't lame, it's tight and yummy.
