    Revenge

    I bet he went out like a popcorn kernel
  2. Don't talk about my sister like that asshole.
  3. Camp at a turnout along the road. It's fish and wildlife land, and is legal so long as you have a permit. I recall a big turnout about two miles past the bend on the left (river) side of the road.
  4. FYI - All of the cracks are steep at Tieton. It makes for good climbing, but the ratings seem a little stiff.
  5. I will purchase this cam. PM's
  6. Tieton is a really good place for cracks. Paul's Jam is a really good .8 (hands). There was really good .9 to the left, but I don't remember the name. There is also MX, a .10a (fingers) that is harder than Orange Sunshine.
  7. dick move, local cash or not.
  8. That sounds dirty
  9. Oh Snap!
  10. It definitely won't be me. I am not participating. Who really cares what you think about marketing, viral or otherwise? Your behavior will drive other legitimate companies away. If you don't like their strategy, don't participate. Quit being such an ass.
  11. A legitimate business pops on to CC.com offering free shit and all you can do is be a twat? WTF?
  12. I really like adjustables, but I rarely weight my daisy. Russian aiders make it a lot easier to hold yourself up without dealing with daisy tension. I start using tension on the daisies when it gets over 90 degrees.
  13. No, butthead. It is climbing related because I am Pogrom. Normally, Pogrom does not need to explain his actions to the likes of you, but because Pogrom is feeling escpecially charitable and nice today, Pogrom will. Leave now, Pogrom is tired of you oops
  14. I've given quite a few Kiva gifts now. That's because I'm a card-carrying bleeding heart liberal.
  15. get rid of the period (.) at the end
  16. This Game of Ghosts was pretty good. So Was K2 Savage Summit. Burgess Book of lies was also fun. Not climbing related, but Mission: Al Jazeera is worth reading.
  17. no
  18. This is the worst possible solution. Forcing people to buy somethign from a private company is bullshit. Talk about taking away your freedoms. Tax credits are a boon doggle. EIC is already in place for people who wouldn't be able to afford insurance. The only way for these people to get healthcare is if the tax credits were to pay them significantly more than they paid in the first place. Even then, the financial burden wouldn't be manageable. They wouldn't get that money back until their tax returns were filed. How would being forced to pay for a good from a private company - in a system where aside from satisfying certain minimum coverage requirements - you are free to choose from catastrophic versus comprehensive coverage, you are fee to choose from policies offered by all participants in a competitive health-insurance market, etc...worse than being forced to pay into a unitary system run by the government where you have none of these things? Would you rather buy your car insurance from a government run monopoly, instead of participating in the current system, where the government mandates coverage and certain minimums but otherwise allows insurers to compete for your business and for you to choose who you want to buy your insurance from? If we were discussing private monopolies versus public monopolies I might agree with you, but none of the compulsory insurance models that I'm aware of include the establishment of private monopolies in their plans. There is no real competition at that level. The service is the same where ever you go. All of the rates are inflated and the people at the top are making money hand over fist. The insurance companies all know the rates for certain coverages and they have carved out their little markets. They stay just far enough away from each other tha tthere is no anti trust case. Yes, I would greatly prefer to have the government provide the required liability coverage instead of criminalizing the failure to purchase something from a private company. This would also provide more protection for you and me. Do you carry Uninsured Motorist coverage? Let me be clear on this. I don't think a single payer system is the answer. There is a basic coverage requirement (Car or health) that can be provided by the government. Further coverage can be provided by private companies. Without the huge income from the sale of the required coverage, the providers would actually have to compete to gain customers. They would end up providing a better product. Without you choosing them, they would go under.
  19. Very easy to find. Cross the irrigation channel and look for a trail on the right. It was shady and fun last saturday. We had it all to ourselves until around noon.
  20. and prepare for teh suck

  22. The webbing does wear, but its not that big of a deal. The Fish daisies are a lot burlier than Metolius.
  23. ... at least he's persistent.
  24. Arguing without an educated position will get you branded these things. Remember - "Us" and "Them" politics only benefits the politicians and the lobbying companies behind them.
