Torturing s should be a crime.

Quit putting me down and I'll quit putting you down.

Whatever, man, just keep taking those phycoligy classes. I suspect that parents and 'relitives' have an influence on their loved ones, schizophrenic or not. So what you're really saying is "people influence other people". Thanks for the heads-up, Sherlock, I'll try to remember that. First off, I'm not sure whether you meant that if I were smart, I'd take 'phycoligy' (not offered at UW, I checked) classes, or if I were smart, I would draw some conclusion from said classes. Either way, your tenuous argument is based on the idea of peoples' actions being manipulated by external influences. As such, it is, directly or indirectly, in opposition to my suggestion that the soldiers in question could have been acting sans influence. Consequently, you were arguing against me, not "mearly making a coment about people ingeneral", whatever you mean by that. As your posts are nearly unreadable, demonstrated by the above ambiguity, please inform me if I somehow misinterpreted one of 'ur' cryptic phrases and my opinion require elucidation. And you say that MY head is up my ass?

Approach skis are an option too. drC A friend of mine had em, used em twice, got a split, sold the skis. Go figure.

w00t!

No fixed belay anchors, if I remember correctly. Or maybe a few fixed rusty pins at the top of the second pitch? Loose, pretty steep, spicy, it's the scariest 5.6 I've ever done. We nearly go hit by some rocks trundled by some idiot on the West Ridge, not cool. Downclimb the N. Ridge.

why did they take those pictures?

Difficulty depends on the conditions, but they're both pretty moderate, and fun! Gear also depends on conditions, but it's hard to go wrong with four screws and a small rock rack. Take a few pins.

I haven't used either pack, but when I fondled them in the store, my initial impression what that the new buckles are useless. I had trouble rebuckling them in the store, with bare hands. If I bought on of those packs, the first thing I'd do would be to slice them off, and get a normal fastex buckle on there, extended by a bit of webbing. I'm fond of my frameless pack. If I were to buy something to replace it I'd get the Wild Things Icesac.

I wouldn't be surprised if the behavior documented by the Standford Prison Experiment was a major factor here.

Reread my last sentence. Now read it again. Still don't understand? Then I can't help you. I don't need 'phycoligy' classes to learn about the stupidity of people in large groups. Ever read Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds? link You're too much of a moron to realize that I was not saying that Kurt is wrong, I was pointing out that what he says is not necessarily true. Reread my post above, Einstein. Saying 'never' is always an indicator of bullshit when it comes to human nature. Is it even worth responding to this? Is this what your phycoligy classes teach? What a waste of time. link Then again, if you had so much trouble comprehending the argument of my above post, you'll have no chance with that link.

Normal lameass spray!

Hey asshole...somebody fucked up. In reality it's never the folks lowest on the totem pole that are responsible. Now there's a quick and dirty way to absolve yourself of any and all responsibility. "It's not MY fault, it's because of the sublimal messanges sent to me by my superiors." Like saying schizophrenia is caused by bad parenting. Nobody knows who is to blame; it could be the fault of some superior, but that could well be an eroneous conclusion.

I dunno what kinda shoes you're wearing, but the unlined shoes I've worn all stretched considerably lengthwise.

Why didn't you have skis in that alder? It makes everything way more fun!

Doing a retrofit?

I thought that the most overused word is 'extreme'. WTF, mate?

I always thought that computer nerds were way into that kinda stuff....

Might want to work on spelling, too, chief.

If you use TEX you will become intimately familiar with \. What's wrong with ~? I think it's cool. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love my REI MTS (moisture transfer system) briefs (black) for use while spraying on cc.com. The color makes them oh-so-sexy, the anti-bacterial treatment keeps them non-stinky, and the superb wickability keeps my ass dry during marathon spray sessions. Endorsed by GORTs!

I ain't spending no 10 years here, asshat! I'd buy those shorts, but my new gorts are almost done.

There are a lot of students here. You must make a LOT of money to be able to pay them all 6.5k. Now you're back in form, cracked! Editing my words and glibly ignoring the obvious fallacy of your own! Why don't you just run down to REI and pick up a few $20 ziplock bags? Not available at Feathered Friends! Could you give me the 60 cents in cash this year? I'd like to buy 0.03 of that ziplock with it. Thanks.
