you got me telemarker. i'm gonna have to hit that pass so as to get some shots of the lake soon.

">where is that Paris Hilton gif.

what is teabagging but community organizing???? oh wait...

i might have to try it myself. i notice a few issues with my last sentence there.

i challenge you to do one constructive thing! then your show all your critics that you're not a loser.

you conservatives don't even know how to post a Yahoo video, let alone run a country

psssfftt....Sesame Street has long been a communist hotbed. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Communism

Peter, have you seen this awesome George Brett video? Don't view it at work! Awesome stuff. Definitely NSFW. [video:youtube]mNlaTbO-Rp8

WOOOHOOO!!!

i'm clearly out of my league here. maybe someone can step in here who understands what the hell this nice gentleman (woman?) is talking about.

your sarcasm detector is broken. imo, while some might have moral outrage over this, it is just simple enforcement of laws that have been on the books since when the crime was committed.

until someone comes up with a better plan (lobotomies?), all we have is consistent enforcement of the law.

well you seem to be saying that since the victim has settled, then the issue is closed. i disagree. i certainly am empathetic to the victim, and maybe that is what you are saying...but it has nothing to do with criminal prosecution that the victim doesn't want prosecution.

lol. except on cc.com spray

no shit...just because the victim of a crime like that decided to take the money and settle doesn't mean the guy should go free. again, there are two domains at play (civil and criminal)

see my post above

regarding victims and criminals, it isn't always so clear cut. there is a reason there is a civil and criminal as separate legal domains. clearly the victims was fine with the civil settlement, but they really have nothing to do with the violation of federal/state laws. i served on a jury were the victim was a guy who was being beaten by his girlfriend. both of them wanted the case just to go away, but it wasn't a civil case. IMO both of them should have been in jail...apparently they like get drunk and trade off on beating the shit out of each other and then calling the police in solve the situation...and then when sober deny everything and make up. apparently that same judge had seen them about 5-6 times on the same charges (victim and aggressor swapped a couple of times) but we could not convict due to suppressed evidence.

well it is a "new route". many of the climbs at the crag don't go to the "summit" either

well the whole part of "because he ran away from justice he gets off scott free" doesn't make too much sense". and i don't think the media is exactly like the middle east where rape victims are the ones punished rather than the rapists. anyway, the guy got arrested finally. good show.

i can feel the love just oozing out of this thread

violent retribution, while very romantic, has a funny way of resulting in legal/financial repercussions for the "hero". not always, but much of the time.

well the real reason pete couldn't make it is because he quit climbing and drinking.

thanks for the link pete. check out this pic of Jon G! What a bastard! What about the Octokids??? And poor whats her name.

do you think this circus tent would work well for Ropeup 2010? http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/spo/1395732661.html

Cool...good to know. I'll add it in when i get a moment and drop you a note if there is some video you want to share from there.
