Why would that be child abuse? Ironically enough, it's because of activist non-disciplinarians like yourself that this kid got pinched repeatedly. The dad is likely one do give him a good swat at home, and probably would prefer to do the same in public since the key to successful discipline is consistency. Since wackos like you would call CPS on him, he's forced to pinch repeatedly instead of giving a one good swat that likely would have put an end to his pissy behavior. The kid was not misbehaving. Not that I could see...... the operative term here is "not that I could see" mind your own fucking business

you're a f-ing moron, boner

Excellent point, Eric, and one I almost posted myself. When I was little and misbehaving in public, my mother would pinch me. And they were painful as hell - she would get a tiny fold of skin and pinch hard. This was presumably to avoid making a commotion (e.g. if she swatted me) and always in a public place with a lot of people around. Much quieter and very effective to give a quick painful pinch then a swat. Also less embarassing for me as a kid since nobody knew what was going on.

as predicted!

+1 Add to them Mt. Forgotten, Pugh (both very easy), Mt. Daniel, Granite Mtn via ridge run and McClellan Butte (again, both very easy), Snowking (overnighter - sept), Hidden Lake Peaks (scramble to 2nd peak), Cashmere Mtn, several Tatoosh Peaks (e.g. pinnacle). Next June head down to Shasta, esp if you ski - a great, easy snow scramble on a 14-er.

what's a "buise"?

are there any bolts?

what's a "bruse"? what's "constitue"?

lucky bastard

I recall one trip to Boston Basin where I left my trekking poles outside my tent as did a climbing partner. His hand straps were chewed to shreds; mine were untouched. Evidentally, they don't like the taste or smell of me. I like it that way.

not with the ttk pics again!

pink's bed is AIDS

I think the best answer is to climb stuff where you won't run into the gomers. btw - surprised the M-word wasn't brought up i was just gonna throw that in. catch-22 out there. blind leading the blind seems to be the universal attack no matter who/what the target is.

that means so much, coming from you boner!

Are you going to start a thread now called "parent abuse"....give it a rest. you started that thread already. I doubt the facts of your story and your evaluation of the situation based simply on your previously-expressed permissive parenting style. The facts of my story are irrelevant. The question still remains…..what do you do in a public place where there is child abuse going on? I consider permissive parenting child abuse.

fa·vor·ite (fvr-t, fvrt) adj. Liked or preferred above all others It's not a list per person, dumbass

What about those parents who do nothing? Kid is whining/misbehaving/acting like an idiot and the parents/oblivions stand there and do nothing. That's how I imagine you boner based on your past thoughts on "disciplining". When should someone "step in" and "correct" that type of parenting?

good luck with that

unless it's V7's sister-in-law...

if you are not an experienced climber, have never been up a 14K peak, etc., then no, not a good idea.

you need to be coordinated for that

even if you don't rip your pants, glissading takes out the waterproofing/resistance. I use marmot precips for most trips, and glissade on them because its fast and I'm lazy by nature (well, it's fun too). At around $100 (or less on sale), I will not be heart-broken if they rip. I've had them 3 years already and they are due for replacement.
