  1. Why don't they just put the shiite outside? It's fucking nippy enough up dere, eh?
  2. A woman's fundamental right to an abortion, as decided by Roe v. Wade, requires no consent from her husband or partner. This is not an abortion case, because the state did not attempt to violate this right. Roe v. Wade ruled that the 14th amendment does not grant personhood to the unborn. The court did recognize, however, that the states do have two legitimate interests: to protect the health and well being of the mother and to protect the unborn. A woman's right to privacy, implicit in the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment, the court argued, must be weighed against these two state interests. It finally settled on a compromise solution: States cannot restrict abortions in the 1st trimester. States may, with compelling reason, place some restrictions on abortions in the 2nd trimester. States may prohibit abortions in the 3rd trimester. In this case, the man commited a form of assault against both the woman and her unborn child, risking or destroying their health. Since the Supreme Court upheld the State's legitimate interest in protecting these two things, and since the state did not attempt to restrict the woman's fundamental right to an abortion, it seems like a cut and dry case whereby the state's prohibition against fetal suicide was violated, with no legal ramifications for Roe v. Wade.

    Going this weekend, bitches.
  4. What weight exercizes have people found that isolate a muscle groups most effectively? My sets include the following. Am I missing anything? leg curls leg lifts chin ups (don't have a lat pull) crunches (lower and upper) bench press fly military press lat raises (arms hanging to straight out) tri extensions (flat on back, arms 90 to straight up) tri kickbacks Kneeling row dips curls roll ups (weight on a line thing) grip exerciser

    Walk the ricepaper, grass shopper. But first remove your pumps.

    Kevbone, in one of his daily stalker PMs, described you more as a cross dressing transexual gay man trapped in a hermaphrodite's body. In any case, the breast hormones appear to be working.
  8. Yeah, this is a reincarnation of the infamous TIPS program, where the government wanted anyone with access to your property: mailmen, meter readers, the UPS man, to report the same kind of bullshit. TIPS was massacred by a successful campaign (lead by but not exclusive to the ACLU), but these 'projects' never seem to fully die. After the failure of TIPS, the government most likely hired a PR firm to figure out how to implement something prettier and shinier for public consumption. Enter the Firemen: Heroes of 911!

    pics? Stale, I know, but someone had to do it.
  10. Given that I only do one set till burn, what's the upside/downside of working the same muscle group 3 times a week instead of only 2? I've read 48 to 72 hour recovery time minimum, so I went with 48, with a 72 hour rest once a week.
  11. Thank you.
  12. Isn't there a law against cruelty to white people?

    I've just come to the sobering realization of what a complete and utter nightmare a lesbian relationship must be. It seems like so much work for so little joy. To any couple who can actually make that work: Cheers!
  14. I prescribed nothing. I just gave a link and some personal experience (which, by definition, is specific) to be taken or left as the reader sees fit. dmuja is spot on; any exercise the gets your muscles to the 'burn' or 'pump' stage will increase strength (paraphrased). This could mean lifting Buicks, squeezing Hostess Berry Pies, or vigorous masturbation. The apparatus employed is not the issue. As for the use of fingerboards, I posted: "Above is a formula for increasing strength/weight as quickly as possible. Increasing muscle endurance and training for sport specific motions using multiple muscle groups (boards, pullups, etc) is another matter but also well advised." I did post that, from what I've read (and followed) multiple sets, rather than one set until muscle failure, provides little additional benefit if the goal is strictly to increase strength to weight. I've tried both and found that strength increased just as rapidly over time with only one set as with multiples. As always, just my experience, buyer beware. A key point here is that a little time spent weight training goes a long way. My weight workouts take all of an hour and a half a week. You're in pure spray mode, now PP. Pretty sad for a mod on a non-spray forum.
  15. Not much in this statement, but here it is: ACLU Statement on the Violent Radicalization and Home Grown Terrorism Act
  16. Take a pill, Jay. It wasn't exactly the Watts riots. Where in my post did you see me justifying mob action or taking the law into one's own hands? Yes, Matt. I'm sure that if a group of neo-Nazi's had used the same methods to to prevent relief shipments from departing to Africa, I'm sure you'd be impartially applauding their zesty civic action. Spare me. Another bizarroid flutters to earth from the mythical planet Hypothetica. What if only neo-nazi CHILDREN were preventing relief shipments to Africa? EVEN STICKIER SITUATION, huh? Feel free to address the example of the abortion protesters, anti-integrationists, etc - at your leisure. Not very good examples there, JayBoy. Both of these movements were/are marked by violence and murder...quite unlike the war protests. Had these folks stuck to civil disobedience, it would have been same same. Commit the act, get arrested, bring attention to your cause. Fair enough. The bloodshed these groups perpetrated, however, changes everything.
  17. I was wondering when you were going to play the "I'm a hard man, check it" card. Tragic. And this generic jewel of wisdom: Ya think? Did you ever think that people seeking information on how to improve grip strength had already discovered that that is their weak point? Which brings me to my point; despite your experience, you've offered little useful information, from personal experience or otherwise, on the actual topic. Cheers.
  18. OK, so now we know where Cabbage Patch Dolls came from. Other than that, I got nothin'.
  19. Nice beaver.
  20. I am a talking mick.
  21. Don't be so lazy. It'll come to you.
  22. The keyboard.
  23. Aren't those are the guys that blend human collagen into their products? I guess there could be worse things than a furnace that smells like bacon.
  24. I bow to your vast experience! I do note that three months is a short time. How has this impacted your actual climbing? How many grades have you improved? YOu must have really powerful eye muscles by now. Still, I'll answer seriously, for the benefit of other participants who are here for more than just being an asshat sprayer. Whether 3 months or 30 years, personal experience is personal experience; single but real data points as compared to the none you've offered. Rock climbing is a way better experience after some weight training. Huge difference. My arms don't even come close to blowing out on pumpy Vantage routes I used to have to rest on. And a stronger core means being more relaxed regardless of which climbing technique I'm employing at any given time. More rest, less sketch, no injuries, more fun on lead. Forearm endurance is even more important for steeper ice. I'll be testing that soon as well.
