I did! Um. I got better!

I've heard things like that, too. But we better let him and his dad have their power, after all, we can't interfere with mass murder, torture, and the like...

The point proven by 9-11 is that if you sit back and refuse to pull your head out of the sand in regard to potential disasters, our country gets fucked. If someone is too great a danger, you have to take him out before he attacks you. Sitting on your ass waiting for the other guy to begin the fight can get you screwed. What I don't get is why so many otherwise intelligent people don't get this. \end troll\

Ditto that. Are they trying to get the US to bomb the shit out of the country? Makes you wonder.

CAUSE ARC'TERYX SUCKS!!! Kidding! But the Arc'teryx packs are not perfect. You can make all softgoods on the market better by tinkering around. Doesn't matter what the brand is. The birds' packs are not particularly light on an absolute scale, either.

I agree. I like BDs, but they're pricey and heavy. Either way, Metolius sucks. Not like it makes a difference to me, I still suck.

I'm bored. I need to get an avatar. Another racial one sounds good.

I'll take your word for it.

It's hard to become a spray expert without spraying. My number of posts is steadily increasing.

At least you have the courage to admit it.

DFA, this is getting pathetic. When you say "remember those who will be killed and maimed by US bombs" you are implying that we have forgetten and/or don't care about those who will die. It's not a simple plea. Sheesh.

NOBODY LIKES WAR. I think. But somehow it seems to solve world crises. It works. Peace doesn't. Wake up and read some history books. Peace never lasts. Why? Cause the human pyche is fucked up. War is a way of solving human problems. Yes, it's horrible, yes, it's murder. But sometimes it's necessary.

Bullshit. We're all just one in several billion, doing what everybody else is doing, not doing anything very well, just happily humming along, contributing nothing. Oh, wait. My self-esteem relies on my delusion of being A SIGNIFICANT BEING. Repeat to self to ward off depression: "I AM A SIGNIFICANT BEING". Repeat as necessary.

Miloshk=Dru!

Moron, from a leadership standpoint, Adolf Hitler was probably the greatest leader of the 20th Century. Go ahead, flame me. I personally think Hitler was evil, but look at what he accomplished and convinced the German people, and witless enemies, to do. They say that Hitler had an overpowering charisma. Evil, yes; diabolical, yes; but a very EFFECTIVE leader. Yes, he was an effective leader. I never said anything about his leadership. But he was still insane. Being insane never precluded any possibilities for anyone. Now that we all have our tempers fired up, let's calm down, and relax. Have a nice evening, all.

The weather at Smith is always good. I have never been rained out. And remember "rain" in the forecast means a sprinkle of about 1 minute. Just go, and have fun. The weather forecast is usually wrong.

I never mentioned my age. Besides, college has a way of exposing you to a lot of opinions.

Catbirdseat, you're wrong. The economy was going down right as Clinton bailed out. Bush didn't cause it, it was going down anyways. You can't have a booming economy forever, it doesn't work and starts going down. Oh, and about a crazy person not being able to achieve much: you're wrong again. I'm not a doctor, but I have some personal experience with pretty insane people. Many are EXTREMELY smart. Hell, look at all the schizophrenics out there. Many were, or are, professors, quite often, extremely good ones. Look at Edgar Allen Poe, John Nash, etc, etc, etc. Dumb people don't get fucked up. They're too dumb.

I'd qualify that statement. It's a fine line to tread. But think of what could have been prevented if someone had taken Hitler out when he was in the process of being the man he became. Then again, war isn't the best option when you can get the same results using different means. But this war is justified, IMHO.

Hey Trask, your "you're insignificant" insult is stupid. WHO THE FUCK ISN'T???? The VAST majority of the people on this planet never do anything significant in the big picture. We're only alive because we're genetically programmed to want to stay alive. True, there are a few people who are significant (Bush and Saddam come to mind) but 99.999999999% of the world's population aren't.

Impeach Buch? WTF for? The courts will laugh you into silence.

Amen, BURP. Too true. I know so many people who think that if we sit in a circle holding hands and humming nobody will want to kill us. People are programmed to want to fight. Which is why there is professional boxing, martial arts, paintballing, etc. Hello?

Hitler was truely insane, in the medical sense of the term.

Their website is pretty useless, and too complicated. It takes forever to find what you're looking for and then they usually don't tell you what you want to know. Oh, well, stick to TNF, Fleblebleblebleb.

Go there, take a rack, and climb easy stuff. Not too many sport routes, and those that are bolted tend to be far more runout than say Smith. Do Wheat Thin (5.7), Rye Crisp (5.8), Bloody Fingers (5.10a but TR-able), there's lots of fun moderate stuff. The camping is nice, and the area is huge, so it's fun to go get lost and climb stuff. Enjoy it.
