Well prejudice usually goes hand in hand with closed mindedness. You can blame the mexicans for coming here trying to make a better life for themselves, but they wouldn't come if farmers didn't give them jobs without a valid greencard. The problem is employers. It's no different then Indians coming to Redmond and Seattle to work (legally). You can jump up and down and say "they are stealing our jobs!", you can jump up and down at Amazon "you are giving our jobs away!". In reality our kids would rather play DS something and dream of being the next red bull guy then get smart, have some fucking foresight, and invest in themselves. So we are giving those jobs away. You can blame "the blacks", and opening this up to all races really in any poor region, what kind of expectations do you have of people that are offered a shit education where the parents aren't educated so they can help, shit jobs after their education if there is even a job. Do these people really see a future for themselves? Mr. Romney is for lower corporations taxes, and lowering the taxes of the beneficiaries of those companies (Bush tax cuts on dividends). In doing so, he says that will decrease unemployment. Well guess what? Corporations, especially public ones exist to make money for their shareholders, not create job. They employ as few people as they can to make money. If Amazon could run on 10 employees they would. The problem in this country is two fold. Our tax system is slanted towards helping corporations and the "1%" get richer, and at the same time is prohibiting the middle class entrepreneur of getting into the 5% (I call 5% Romney middle class, those making close to $250k) because not only of a large tax burden for operating a small business, but as I've stated before large risk. The biggest risk is health coverage. How many people over thirty with a family and mortgage are going to go out on their own knowing that if things don't go hell they will not be able to provide health coverage? If we had universal health coverage in this country you will see a huge increase in the number of people going into business for themselves and increasing innovation. You see the 5%'ers on the right stomping up and down and they should be they are paying an unfair amount of taxes compared to large corporations. Their corporate taxes aren't 18% they are closer to 35%. It's like this enormous speed bump for most middle class people, and any corporation you go up against whether it is a restaurant or a widget has a huge, huge advantage. But you never see this as part of the discussion with Republicans, the only thing you hear come out of their mouths is talking about tax holidays for large corporations and such. They don't give a shit about middle class business owners. I don't mean to be prejudiced or anything, but you know that you are talking to a dog? A YELLOW dog!

This is it in a nutshell. We could make up a lot of the costs by just moving end-of-life care out of the hospital to hospice. Yes, bring on the Death Panels!!

Except he never said it.

And Obamacare fixes that how? You first. Start somewhere with a lot of fat fucks, like the deep South. We'll eagerly await hearing how that goes for you.

Nail in the coffin? I think a sports analogy would be more appropriate. Romney just threw an interception that was run back for a touchdown. His team is down 14 points and there's 14 minutes left on the clock...

Amen! Preach on sister! Next time you are in Seattle I buy you a round of Aberlour 12! :-)

This is how he always behaves.

Inbounds or BC? 'Cos the class only involves 3 Saturdays prior to most resorts being done for the season (April 15 or so).

No shit. Feck needs to tone it down!
-
No shit. I'll bet some of them even cling to guns and religion!

We have a problem with mass shootings (there's about 20 a year), but overall violent crime in our country has gone down, and it's pretty unlikely you'll get shot at one of these crimes. I'm pretty sure it's a lot more dangerous to be in Libya or Egypt right now.

Well, I guess these beat your usual pics of dead kids.

I called Marblemount and the non-climbing ranger said "hold on" and got a climbing ranger on the phone. Later when I picked up the permit, the person at the desk pulled over the climbing ranger to ask which zones were correct for the TFT. Then when I was actually in BB, the climbing ranger there had a different story regarding which permits count on the ridge.

We just had a meeting with the NPS last week about the bolt removals. The only bolts that were removed were on the Forbidden descent gully. The NPS has not removed any other bolts... Jason Are there obvious rap stations (sans bolts) down that gully? I've never been there and just assumed the thing had a bunch of tat/rap stations but never thought there were bolts there.
-
I don't know those tapes and neither do you! Don't believe everything you see! Maybe the plains incinerated them?
-
We are now getting into the habbit building bivy sites on route. I don't think rangers check these areas often: When I was in BB a few weeks ago we actually met a nice ranger lady, who climbed the E ridge of Forbidden the next day. She was checking permits in BB... not sure about en route on Forbidden however.

Bump. A better thread than boner's retarded 9/11 thread

Unless and until you can explain what happened to the plane you can shove your cruise missile right back up your ass.
-
obviously so nobody would see the cruise missile. Duh Fortunately, prior to the cover up the following incriminating photo was leaked: Clearly the US military was involved!

Progressives: we really care about the average Joe, the salt of the earth, the worker, the blue collar guy. Even though you are all fucking imbeciles and sheep-fuckers.
