STFU, shit for brains Edit: to add "shit for brains"

thanks for the link, PP-linkmeister

Oly, what was the cause of your affliction?

The Mountain Fund is a great organization. Everyone who works for them (including myself) are volunteers. They have already accomplished much in aiding and supporting indigenous mountain people and their communities. I believe crackers' question was pointed more toward the elevation and support of women into traditionally male roles in a muslim country. While this type of action will always see opposition from some fundamentalist groups in these cultures, I am in support of actions, such as this from the Mountain Fund, that pursues empowerment of individuals toward self-sufficiency and the broadening of the base of localized economies, with deference to diplomacy.

generally, as soon as someone believes they're not a beginner anymore

that's not far once we build one of these jewels...no, not Jodie Foster.

Nastassja, or Klaus, or Nastassja and Klaus?

you can't yell "GLOCK" in a crowded theater

the use of the word "natural" to describe the use of an artificial ventilator or that she thinks she knows God's intentions?

small? That's, like, 10,000 watts

cool, I'd like to see/hear sometimes I wish I wasn't such a hick

guess I should have read a little farther first.

You didn't start actively posting until little more than a year ago, while she's been at it for almost four.

what does it say to you?

Mountain Fund Aids All-Star Pakistani Women's Climb April 24, 2007 Increasing numbers of all female expeditions are exploring the world's mountain ranges, achieving highly technical climbs in a sport traditionally dominated by men. Pakistani women are ready to join the world of climbing as well. Their country is home to three major mountain ranges - the Himalaya, Karakoram and Pamir - and K2, the second highest mountain in the world. Pakistani women have been unable to learn to climb as cultural norms do not allow contact between men and women who are not directly related and all the climbing instructors in Pakistan are men. A group of American guides will travel to Pakistan in the summer of 2007 to facilitate a mountaineering course for up to 100 female Pakistani women. The goal of the project is to expose women to the world of climbing and mountaineering. Their experience may lead to careers not previously available to them in a growing tourism industry, in mountain rescue or guiding. The course will take place on and around the Passu and Batura glaciers in Northern Hunza, followed by an attempt 19,619-foot Kusheikh Peak, near Khunjerab Pass. Training will be progressive, starting with the basics of mountain survival, travel, and safety. Technical rock and ice climbing as well as glacier travel and self-rescue will be taught throughout the course. The All-Star Guides are: Charlotte Fox, Heidi Kloos, Janet Bergman, Danika Gilbert, Sallie Dean Shatz (photographer) and Cherie Silvera (filmmaker) The Mountain Fund - www.mountainfund.org is providing equipment and funding to assist in this rare effort to bring Pakistani women into the domain of the climbing world. The climbing camp will be coordinated by the American Alpine Club and the Pakistan Alpine Club. Help make history! Please visit www.mountainfund.org and make a donation to support this groundbreaking climbing camp for Pakistani women. About The Mountain Fund A Global Community for Change. What does it mean to be a Global Community For Change? Poverty, its causes and sypmtoms are complex. There is no one size fits cure-all. Education alone isn't enough, healthcare alone won't create postive and lasting change, neither will support of women's and children's programs. As the popular NPR program "The Bioneers" says, its all connected.. Healthcare can help create children who go off to school ready and able to learn. A quality education is needed to prepare young minds for the future. Following an education, job opportunies are needed as well as access to capital for business to create those jobs. A weak link in this chain and the child is forever locked in the poverty cycle. That's why The Mountain Fund supports efforts in all of these areas, it takes more than a village to raise a child. It takes healthy, literate families with access to support, employment and capital. A totally unique approach. The Mountain Fund, unlike many nonprofit organizations, does not create new programs and new services in communities where they already exist. A majority of our work is accomplished in partnership with existing community based programs. In many villages, in many countries around the world, good people with strong ties to the community have already identified the need to provide healthcare, build schools, empower women and start micro-finance programs. We build on the prescense and success of these community based organizations and help them to grow stronger and accomplish more. There is no need to re-invent the wheel where a perfectly good wheel exists. We do have a few direct programs that we have started where we were unable to find existing programs to partner with or where our programs add value to to community based parnters we already have.

his lymphodemia shouldn't affect that activity

different types of sushi

that's not czech, butt Fromunda

that's what you guys have been paying for. btw, I haven't received a czech for a few months now. what's up?

were you under the impression Spray (the definition of which is a recurring theme for Kev), when executed properly, included the characteristic of "nice"? Dechristo = snide assoholic petty pedantic prick (who is under the mistaken impression multiple displays of alliteration will be perceived as intelligence).

so was singing operatic tenor parts

I'm only quoting the article

I don't blame you for that feeling, but you've got to know there are multitudes of creepy thoughts running through the heads of people that we encounter on a daily basis. You just know about this one. I believe, generally, stalkers have a psychological/intellectual profile that differs from Kevbone's: their IQ's are over 60.
