No, I think most people here support the Mountaineer Press.

I wanna see that! does that mean muffy has?

He probably did it on purpose. Mixing metaphors is standard wit fare for some people. He didn't actually "lose" the election, as they didn't count all the ballots in Florida. The election was rigged. Prove it. Both sides cheated, I seem to remember several dead people voting for Gore. Get over it.

Jon, what's your point? Ken's bitching about unsafe bikers. He says verbatim (or almost, as I don't need to read the article again) "there are plenty safe cyclists out there, but too many unsafe ones". Didn't you read the article?

Depends if I want to present a decent argument. If the person I'm arguing against is boring, dull, or stupid, I tend to spray more than debate. Check the bike laws thread for examples.

Why did you start spraying? What made you want to try it? I have heard the "average sprayer" (90% of those who try it once) only spray for a few years before moving on to another sport. If you have been spraying for 3 yrs +, why did you stay with spraying? Did you start with another outdoor sport and switch to spraying, or did you start with spraying and stay with it?

Does WT stand for Wild Things?

Cause it's a noble way to kill yourself. Listen up, j_b.

You bore me to tears.

Instructor experience ranges from two to twenty... as said before, less-experienced instructors are paired with more-experienced. Mounties don't learn gear anchors right away. They learn girth-hitching a tree and that's about it. Beginners sport-climbing is a relatively new thing in the mountaineering community as a whole... the last twenty years at the most? Being able to climb 5.X at the gym is about the least important thing there is for general mountaineering. But knowing how to tie a figure 8, belay, and rappel isn't. The gym can be a valuable tool. Besides, if they spent a few sessions in the gym they might actually be able to climb the tooth; I saw one mountie chick get stuck on the second pitch for half an hour.

I also started climbing to get away from pathetic losers. Then I realized my mistake. I'm sticking to hiking from now on.

Whatever.

Go slog up a volcano. I heard Oregon has some good ones. Don't stay in WA, the climbing sucks here.

I guess I was wrong, cause if you could read my mind, you would be running away Cum get some, you know you want it.

Good thing I'm not rerading anything.

But difficulty does play a role. Oh, fuck, why do we care. If you're a climber, you'll know.

Fence Shitter is an arrogant little impotent fuck. I am a lofty, well-rounded, wise old man.

I started climbing because I thought I could impress my buddies with it. Turns out I was right.

I'd say you're a climber if you love the sport, and stick to it for a significant amount of time. There are quite a few very, very good climber who only get out once every two weeks or so.

ummm that would be me I'd agree on the female voice part, I don't know about 'reason'.

So you're paranoid, too? Damn, when's the last time you saw your shrink? You're not off you night meds are you?
