Dude,I've dealt with dead bodies too and somehow I've managed not to become a belligerant asshole. Neither is anyone else I know that deals with dead bodies. So, I'm thinking, maybe it's just you. Hats off to you though. Getting on the Internet and flaming people would be the *first* thing on my mind after that. And calling someone gay, well, that's pretty much down there with jr. high school retorts. I expected better.

Do we sing 'Kumbaya' now?

I know what you mean, Greg, I'm just saying there's always someone who won't listen to what you have to say, no matter how well spoken you are and no matter what evidence you marshal in defense of your point. I've known people from the far left and far right who do listen, and those who don't. That's all I'm saying. That and I was the other guy on Colchuck, but I didn't say much.

Yeah, given all the other pronouncements, you thought they might at least stick in something like "Thou shalt hide and cower when the velociraptors come for they are fearsome and have sharp pointy things"

I don't think you can limit that to conservatives. There are plenty of closed-minded people out there of all political persuasions. It's usually the people who are more middle-of-the-road who are willing to listen to you and debate with you and are willing to have their minds changed if you make a cogent argument.

I think you're just seeing politicians using popular dissatisfaction for short term political gains. They don't really care about the long term consequences. Modern government is mostly about politics and crisis management, rather than policy.

Now that's just plain scary....

You keep working on your sense of humor there, son. Maybe you'll find one eventually.

What? Can't handle having your chain yanked like you enjoy doing to everyone else? Poor little man....

This is the more appropriate question

Being a scientist, I like equations. The only equation I know of in politics that I can trust is: Politician = Liar I've found this to be pretty much true regardless of their political orientation. It all comes down to: who's lies are you willing to stomach?

Sir, back away from the doughnut....

Bi-partisan support does not mean it was the right thing to do. If everyone agreed to steal your car, would that mean it was right? If the Republicans voted with the Democrats to suspend what little remains of your civil liberties, would you lie back and say "Oh, well, at least it had bipartisan support"?

DNF. Gave up because it was stupid.

You're either with us or against us. Why do you hate The Climbing Community? Maybe you want to live in The Klimbing Kommunity?

At the risk of sounding snarky, could you define what you mean by 'increased forces'? Of course there are increased forces on the rope for heavier climbers, F=ma and all that.

Fairweather, you're a moron. My statement about Bush polishing themselves against any celebrity holds equally well for any politician. Next time try using your brain when you post rather than your penis.

If Bush can't win without polishing himself up by rubbing against celebrities, he shouldn't win at all.

I just love the way you boys from the suburbs talk. ;-)

You can do dips if you have the right furniture. You can still do lunges though you don't have weights. In fact, you can also do squats if you just hold it (like 'horse' stance in kung fu)

Sport climbing is for lawyers.

Isn't climbing in the area closed down because of the fire hazard this summer?
