Maiden, baby!

MISANTHROPES OF THE WORLD UNITE!

THAT I don't get. I've been out with folks like this - you summit "early" and it's like "hey, what else can we bag nearby", whereas I am thinking "this went well, let's enjoy the summit, take it easy going down and get dinner and brews in town".

That's why I like hunting. Also because you get to see and experience so much beautiful wildlife, and then kill it. And hopefully share it. Ah loves me some elk steaks. did you eat your compost-heap rat?

Well, I've got a tick list for peaks, but I'm with you on the routes... would prefer to bag them with more interesting/quality routes.

Eat your corn dumbass. Your "family" is just fattening you up. Mmmm, organic chicken!

Just as long as you don't post photos of Uranus

Ivan, meet Prole.

what about old people? can you cook them in a way to get the old muscles tender enough?

You've got that market cornered all by yourself. in your case, you're trying to feed people horseshit and tell 'em it's a gourmet meal

I think you had it right before - "earning your keep" could be construed as "from each according to his ability". All the people you mention did meaningful things. There is also dignity to someone who picks fruit, farms, fishes, cleans toilets, collects garbage, etc. It always chafes me to hear some POS talk about some job as if it is "beneath him" (meaningless).

right next to the mountain biking forum

there should be a new road cycling forum

I'll bet I consider "meaningless" what you consider "meaningful" - and vice versa. you guys should check into nihilism Ivan - prole is one of those fucks who thinks any real "work" is beneath him (and others). A "meaningful" job is one that meets his inflated view of his self-importance, and contributes nothing of substance. Shovelling horse shit all day or picking fruit is more meaningful than anything that Prole will ever do.

I'll bet I consider "meaningless" what you consider "meaningful" - and vice versa.

funny - the anti drug-legalization crowd makes its stand on taht issue - they say it is governmetn's place to be ma'n'pa n' protect you from your own bad decisions - if they were consistent, they'd be for universal care as to the second point, yes, bill, though i don't think it's "government's" so much as "society's" obligation to see that all are fed (and that extends to healthcare i reckon - it's just that folks donate money/food/service to soup kitchens, not so much to meaningful healthcare for the poor, sick n' downtrodden) how many people starve to death in the usa? how many die b/c of no/shitty healthcare? it's a rhetorical question of course, but i seriously doubt the former outnumber the later. you're dodging the question dude. we have millions of homeless and millions who go hungry every day. It's hard to believe with all the lardasses, but it's true. Why doesn't the gov't ENSURE that everyone has a warm, dry, clean place to live, and 3 square meals a day. Universally.

cool - move to Netherlands!

why not? who decides what gets covered and what doesn't? what about the rich elderly? or a mentally ill person who inherited a fortune or managed to make one prior to become too ill to function?

You sick commie fuck. In commie countries you have a minimal amount of care (very shitty). To get decent care you have to pay/bribe the nursing staff, doctors, etc. or go abroad. Ask any ex-pat from the former Soviet Union for details.

words like "truly" are what send the crazies running for the exits w/ "death panels" on their lips, since it implies judgement It may be tough to enforce but face it - there are people whining about no coverage and affordability because they don't want to pay shit even though they can. They have other priorities and think others should pay for them. Then there are those who really can't afford to pay for coverage. Even if it were "affordable". The problem with simply saying insurance companies can't charge for "preexisting conditions" is that people can choose not to buy insurance until they are sick/hurt, then buy it to get "covered", then once treatment ends, cancel their policies. Repeat.

TANSTAAFL, dude. 1) health care costs need to be affordable, even if that means you can't buy a new Hummer every 3 years 2) everybody should pay something to be covered, even if the money is garnished from their wages or extracted by auctioning off the shit someone bought instead of paying for coverage 3) exceptions made to 2) to help the truly vulnerable, "truly" being the operative word

4. liposuctioning lardasses and making heating oil from the fat deposits This kills two birds with one stone, helping control energy costs using a renewable energy source
