right back at you "ass" and go blow someone else... p.s. it's vulgar. I thought you were a master at multisyllable words?

Legitimate questions, all. While you and many others may like your current coverage, the fact remains that the status quo cannot continue- costs are outrageous. I don't really know how a public option will play out; I think by itself a public option alongside all the existing private options might work for everyone, but if it's really the "first step" then that might be a problem, because I don't think eradicating private sector coverage would be a good thing at all. More to the point the current system of total control by powerful insurance companies isn't in our best long term interest, nor is an entirely government controlled system. But the way we are going, the former is what we're going to keep on getting if current reforms are defeated. When they are- you watch. I almost guarantee that insurance premiums, along with costs, will go through the roof. Because they can. As a dyed in the wool conservative, who is happy with his coverage, I'm curious if you there is any problem at all, and if so, what do you think should be done to fix it? Why not regulate the insurance industry instead of supplanting it? Start by mandating conversion to non-profit status.

STFU, "kimmo" - you don't know me from Adam.

Off: link Everyone who has done this has gotten spanked by a moderator, including for the incident you mention.

I googled it and apparently it's some kind of "stool-pidgeon" program for dissenters. or a hoax for such a program. Alky-teke - do you have a link or something?

I was under the impression that on this site (Cascadeclimbers.com) pulling others trip reports and climbing pictures and putting them in spray to make fun of them was out of bounds. What gives me this impression was the tongue lashing Kevbone got from Porter when he did it not that long ago. Yep, you got it right, Billcoe. "Dawg" has a convenient position on what's "in bounds" for himself, since he has zero TRs. I don't have time to browse his 37 photos - I'm sure they are all his stock pics, rather than anything climbing-related.

No man...when it's about climbing, it's fair game...when it comes to one's personal life, it shouldn't be on the table. Look, gramps woke up from his nap! Hey Super-Youngster with all them new-fangled thoughtless persectives on climbing! We'd discuss this all on the summit of Rainier...if you could get there. oh, now we're including hiking in this discussion? LOL. I'm sure Raindawg can point us to some TRs or photos from his recent ascents of a technical route on Rainier. The dude is a climbing machine.

I summitted Rainier already, dude. Nice try though. The DC is still in if you want to make a run up there. I'm sure I'll pound your wrinkled ass into the volcanic ash. Just sayin'.

probably brought them to the crags while he was rehearsing his project and bastardizing the climbing sport. bolters

Getting rid of invasive animal species takes a State Agency. I don't see any State Agencies focused on rap bolts. Oh noes, snaffles have invaded our water-ways!! this must be due to global warming (and Bush). discuss.

Bug is easily confused.

Only 471 posts to tie the "really big house cat photo" thread!!!

how were the bugs? they've been pretty heinous the last few weeks - kind of like Raindawg

It doesn't matter to a fanatic. ideologues can't be reasoned with and will eat their own young if they have to in order to assert themselves. Like religion. plenty of religious folks keep to themselves, or will speak their mind when asked and not force their views on you unlike Raindawg

hey, cool, where were you? (BTW, I hope you didn't clip any bolts - then it would ruin my climbing for me.)

And I thought he just liked looking at my face... Honestly, though, in this photo I was expressing my concern for how tomb KV60 in the Theban Necropolis has been treated over the years, and how there is a doublethink hypocrisy inherent in Unidawg's anti-bolt spew. Can you have it both ways, Unidawg? And in that photo you are actually climbing somewhere, and I doubt you were worrying about someone else's style or ethics to the point of rabid foam-at-the-mouth fury.

It doesn't matter to a fanatic.

Men his age keep weird hours... and take a few naps throughout the day. Don't rile him up though, "Depends" can be expensive, and I'm sure you make him wet himself a few times each day as he gets overly-excited over you pesky sporto-whipper-snappers.

Don't overdo it li'l bulldog! It's gettin' extreme around here! Run along....go on....git now! Go on with your bad self, Indy!!

the crotchety old men don't climb anymore. the "ethics" of the "sportos" has just ruined it for them, so they stay home.

Wow, it's Jesus Christ incarnate. Don't shoot the messenger, everyone, he's just telling us the TRUTH! It's up to us to choose between good and evil. So do your converts stay at your Guyanan plantation full time or part time? Scared of IDEAS??? Reject them if you want! You act as if you're being forced to accept them. Don't even want to read this stuff because it's just so darn annoying????? Easy solution! You see the name "Raindawg" attached to the post...scroll on by! buh by! Not scared of ideas, but ideologues are another story. Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler were full of IDEAS too.*** ***just figured this thread didn't yet have a stupid Nazi reference. Thank you for allow washed up actor to perpetuate innane thread through Friday! Raindawg doesn't understand is that most of us have read his "ideas" (over and over and over and fucking over again), examined them, and rejected them. He just can't figure out how he can be so clearly "right" and still not acquire new converts to his nutball religion.

yes, we definitely need more of these kinds of dialog
