You don't find it the least bit odd that the Taliban eradicated 1 years worth of poppy growth, practically the entire country, and then suddenly as soon as we invaded the crop was almost entirely re-established? Tell me what do you think is a good site to find out official government statistics on different country's illegal drugs? CIA factbook perhaps?

Maybe you should take some of your self-righteous skepticism and turn it on this television garbage that you blindly accept as reality. I don't blindly accept anything. Sorry that you think otherwise.

Yes, it's called the CIA. (Cocaine Importing Agency) The police arm of the global monied elite. Currently they are protecting the Afghan heroin crop, before that it was the golden triangle. The main reason they deal drugs is to fund covert ops, that way they don't have to be accountable to congress which usually holds the purse strings. Correct, the official government conspiracy theory on 911 lacks any common sense, especially from an engineering perspective. BTW Joseph did you click on Scott P's link? The one about the 33 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true? Or are you saying that no conspiracy theory in the history of man has turned out to be true? Cuz that's what your absolutist talk sort of sounds like. Joseph. What does the upside down pentagram stand for and who used it recently in a nationwide manner? (last 10 years) Try to answer this without Google. LOLZ!

Nice to meet you Tvash. I'm a true political activist. I've made signs, gone to marches. I donate $225 a month to 6 different charities, auto deduction. Including 911 truth orgs. I've been studying 911 since it happened, easily over 1000 hrs spent. So you could say I'm a conspiracy junky. I think if you don't speak out against the lies they will never be exposed. And if you see a lie and know it's a lie then you need to state your position. About 80% of the public believe the official Kennedy story is false and the government has done investigations showing the same. Only in America do people blindly go along with the official 911 conspiracy theory because that's what the corporate MIMC TV told them. The rest of the world pretty much thinks otherwise and it shows in their media.

80 percent of the CIA's resources are spent on disinformation. The "straw man" is a well known disinformation tactic. Present an obviously false theory then try to tie it to the credible theories to discredit them.

These days conspiracies are just a way of measuring individual and broad demographic IGI (Internet Gullibility Index). Yeah, the Official conspiracy theory (OCT) of 911 is the biggest example. It shows how effective the wholly corporate owned television has become as an indoctrination tool.

Let's just all be good sheep and believe our crooked criminal government when they tell us they killed Bin Laden and have presented ZERO evidence. After all you should believe all of what you hear and all of what you don't see. Right? And in this day and age it is SO difficult to obtain photographic and video evidence. Osama put out a lot of very high quality videos of himself. There have been none since 2002. The ones released since then are either obviously not him or of such low quality, dark, out of focus etc that the person in them cannot be positively identified.

It's no big secret that Americans are being systematically poisoned. fluoride thimerosal amalgam fillings HFCS aspartame GMO's autism has gone from 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 150 diabetes is now a full on epidemic there are legitimate vaccines but anything containing thimerosal you are getting a dose of mercury so this is not a black and white issue.

Can't believe nobody appreciated my photos.

What if you were 500 ft down in there and all these rains we've been having caused an underground river to flood through there? And you got soaking wet but not drowned but the water ruined all your headlamps and soaked your lighters so you had to crawl out wet and in the total darkness. When I was a kid about 11 yo I read a book called "All The Dark Places". A story about a boy who soloed into a cave a long ways and then all his flashlights malfunctioned and he only had a few matches to light the way back at key points. It would have been hard to make a movie out of the book because he was in pitch black for most of the story. Actually I later found out that the book was based on a true story and I was eventually able to contact the boy. After some discussion with me expressing my profound interest he was happy to provide me with these pictures of his ordeal. I've recently scanned them so that everyone here on the forum can benefit.

Don't chop the long one. As soon as you can afford it, buy another 60m, use the 58m on climbs that don't have full 60m pitches, or as a glacier rope.

We are talking about 2 different things here. A leash which is made from full strength runner and can anchor you by either your wrist or your harness to an axe in a belay position like with the shaft in hard snow. A teather which is light cord only made to save the axe in case it's dropped. It might hold body weight but that's not really what it's designed for. I have been saved from falling while soloing by a wrist leash but I prefer the leash going to the harness. Picture climbing using a moving shaft belay and your partner falls in a crevasse and is hanging free. Your axe is sunk to the hilt in hard snow and a good angle. How are you going to be more secure, with it on your wrist or at your harness? If you are in the arrest position and you sink the pick the wrist leash isn't going to hold you any better than the waist. The waist will be more secure if it's the right length.

bablefish translation We learned this Friday night the death today of Patrick Edlinger at the age of 52, who was found without life at his home in La Palud, in the Verdon. Thirty years ago, his film "The life at your fingertips" had done return the escalation, and particularly his solo full in the gorges of the Verdon, in the history of the mountain. It was to participate in the meetings of the cinema of Grenoble next Thursday. The causes of his death are not yet known.

didn't even know there was anything that big back East

W H O A !!!!!

Instead of trying to do away with something, which is going to be hard to do, why not try and solve the problem? Like how about steel carabiners?

the lightest snowshoe http://www.northernlites.com/ Snowshoes don't get used very often but when you do need them they are indispensable.

the constitution is shredded, private banks control the nation's money, private corps count the vote, search and seizure with no warrant or probably cause, indefinite detention without charge. These are all 180 deg from the constitution. 2 party is a duopoly, they both work for the exact same corps. Multi party is much harder for corps to gain control. In the EU, they audit their central banks and the workers have 5 weeks paid vacation in the first year of employment.

I don't think the question was about strength, it was about equalization.

It would be nice to go into business taking lead shots from above, they look so much better.

SWEET!

Nice shot, where was it taken from? Is this the North face?
