the joke is funny, even if it is functionally inaccurate.

a better metaphor is the relocation of mentally challenged people from hospitals to the streets by Ronnie Raygun.

this is my general approach to all religion. in fact, i find atheists just as annoying as people of religion. belief in both the existence of g(G)od and the lack there of require a proof that no one can give. might as well try to define the limits of infinity.

the mushrooms clearly don't grow in Poland.

Dude, tune in Art Bell. He can clue you in.

Though I guess, technically we already have been in Pakistan.

I believe the war we should have concentrated on was in Afghanistan in the first place. I'm not sure why we went to Iraq, but we did. I just hope we don't end up in Pakistan too.

this is such a killer song (IN MY OPINION) [video:youtube]WSmuzEzeAeY

I'm sure Obama is doing this because he wants to destroy America. what a maniac! there is no feasible reason for him to do this, other than he hates the flag.

gutter talk

Maybe he is someone you can only see when you eat the right mushrooms. That happen to grow here in the PNW. (Thus the amount of sitings in this area).

maybe you need to believe in them to see them. as such, perhaps some of you are not equipped.

long and short of it is that one person in this thread had a profound impact on the sport of climbing. his impact was by deed, and not words. our discussion here will probably not impact the future of climbing, because they are out climbing and don't have time read what has-beens and never-weres are bitching about. now if you're out bumping elbows with people who influencing climbing by action, that would be different, but i don't think many of the people in this thread are doing so. Its a pity that Pope and Raindawg can't argue their point of view without being so polemic. Since they do, they come off as detached from reality. I think most of us can agree there should be an ethical standard in our wild places, so in part we agree with them. But by completely rejecting the notion of sport climbing (or at least appearing to do so in their arguments), they have turned the argument into a "Christains vs. Islam" situation where the middle ground might as well be the Gaza Strip. And now I hear of this Valhalla where the world repents on its sport climbing ways. Is this some bizarre new sect?

But then, I'm not sure that is a compliment. The monkey went first.
