Prole climbs?? Touché

Are you wishing Prole ill-will on his climbs? Not good.

Yep. And let's ignore that Americans are generous, help others, and that here we actually talk about and do things for those less fortunate. But none of that counts in the OP's original chart.

Combine the chart with the personality and the thread title... and the fact it's posted on the flame forum of a climbing website. Yep, pretty useless.

Annoyance is more what comes to mind, because the raising of issues usually comes from useless, whiny turds like you.

Which is why it's so interesting that Kojak immediately brings it up whenever a social issue is raised. Personally, I think it's probably a far less effective means of engagement than reason or humor. Or provocation, for that matter. I simply posted the chart, guilt entered the conversation somewhere else down the line... I did not bring it up, Rob did. Post #2, repeated for you edification: Rob: "Rad's guilty-liberal whine about having to explain the crying native americans to his children was the best." And it seems to be what you progressives live by - trying to impose "guilt" on people who are better off than others. So Rob is actually spot on.

You seem to think that you can "win" arguments by making them into a hypocrisy debate. It's called the fallacy of argumentum ad hominem, in case you haven't heard of it: "an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it." You rarely address the merits of the climbing issue, and when you do it's a personal attack [which is allegedly prohibited on this site.] By the way, the Valley of the Kings was "altered" 3500 years ago to serve as a royal cemetery by Egyptians who had neither bolts nor an interest in climbing. Archaeologists working there today, including myself, are heavily involved in restoration and conservation to an extent you clearly wouldn't appreciate. By the way, do you climb at Index? It's a big "altered" rock quarry. The big question is, what are YOU doing about the way YOU treat your climbing environment TODAY? I don't expect a reasonable response. Let the desert reclaim the VK. Cut *those* bolts!

Yeah, if you give a shit what some moron you went to high school with is having for dinner. Guh, thanks for "sharing"... You're such an Uebermensch, Prole. Uber you, anyway. Another day of Prole saving the world! How's it coming along, anyways?

Here comes the goon squad!

Maybe I'm unemployed and show up on your poverty chart, comrade!

You mean, just like that other overhyped fad "television?"? [/quote Yeah, "entertainment" doesn't have a use or make money (movies, prof. sports, video games, TV, none of it!)

Wrong. Raindawg's getting grief for being Raindawg. His profession seems to just be something he's sensitive about, so people just push that button. I don't know the guy, personally, but he sure seems uptight. Archaeology is cool, though, I'm pretty sure nobody is actually giving him grief just because of that. The Egyptians permanently altered rock on a monumental scale - a scale the eclipses what climbers have done with bolts. If you chopped all the bolts in the world they would not even fill up the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, I'd wager. There is huge hypocrisy in lamenting on the latterbolts (endlessly) while dedicating one's life to the former. Pointing that out is not mocking the profession, but mocking the hypocrisy and posturing.

Yeah, I keep forgetting. But... it is really easy. When you get to the notch at Easter Tower, you basically go up and veer to the right slightly on pitch 2 and 4. There are variations of course as well. Be sure to hit the chimney for pitch 3 otherwise you miss the fun.

I don't know what your profession is, but I'm too dignified to insult it, and I assume it has nothing to do with climbing. Nor am I interested in making some sort of juvenile parody of your internet "avatar", KaskadskyjKozak. My vast intellect seems to be unable to understand why you persist, or why you haven't been banned for making personal attacks. 14985 posts?....aiming for that big 15,000, hero? TRs: 0

It would have to be an impartial judge... I'm thinking Punxsatawny Phil. Maybe fling some mummfied cat innards and see who they pick?

Quick delete there Rainpuppy! How about this stat: TRs: 0 'nuf said!!

Hey, cool! 16 hrs for both - not bad!!

somewhere around obama's inauguration - mere coincidence? i think not! I thought it more directly coincided with Romney clinching, hmm....

BTW, Professor Rainpuppy, nobody said YOU take LSD, or are a cannibal, it is a joke linking stories in spray threads. I know, it's beyond you to comprehend, but thought I'd spell it out for you as your vast intellect seems to be unable to fathom this concept.

Who said anything about a bolt kit? A wire brush is useful to clean out the dirt from that part of the crack to put pro in a few spots where otherwise you'd have nothing. A chock pick can work too. Have YOU climbed it recently?

I hear if you take enough LSD you'll not only cut bolts on Garfield, you'll chew the dessicated flesh of the mummy in KV 60 There was once a rule about personal attacks by which you should rightly be banned on this site. If you can't offer much more than that, and if you can't stick to addressing climbing, perhaps you should get lost. Obviously you've been reading about my discoveries, but you have no respect. What you wrote above was disgusting. [An explanation: KV 60 is the name of a tomb I rediscovered, as a professional archaeologist with permission from the Egyptian government, in an ancient cemetery, the Valley of the Kings. The tomb contained a mummy whom the Egyptians have identified as a very famous ruler of Egypt. Here, KaskadskyjKozak seems to link my climbing ethics involving drastically limiting bolts, with taking LSD, with one of my career highlights. Again, what you wrote above is disgusting.] P.S. 14,979 posts? And I need a life???? Cut those bolts! Dig out the rock that was raped a few thousand years ago - THAT'S OK Seriously, you are a major broken record, with no sense of irony yet alone humor, but hey, post some pics of the dude on the via ferrata and some pics of BLT's now!

Keep making shit up, so we will not be surprised. And honestly, John Birch? You are dating yourself you old coot.

I'm having some rye whisky in your honor sobo yes, thank you, I will indeed help myself to another
