Most Frightening: Best Ribcage: Try the autofocus feature next time. And, is that tree trunk the reason why you appear to be imploding? I would think it would have the opposite effect. Best Fembot: Are those breasts or headlights from an old Packard masked in latex? Wonder what they’d register on the Brinell scale? And the backdrop: the Taj Mahal women’s room? Also, I’m left wondering; what flies out if she let’s go of those panties? Best shoes: They appear to be desk top display stands for model airliners; clever duel use. And…it’s called backlighting, honey. We can’t see your face, but perhaps that’s intentional. Best Top of the Head. Nuff said. What the….?

The question is never "What freedom have YOU lost". When one person loses a basic civil right, we all do. All of us are now subject to government spying without probable cause. Any of us may, at any time, be kidnapped and sent to a secret CIA prison, whether due to a mistake, misuse of power, or political vendetta. The record clearly shows such 'mistakes' have happened many, many times. But again, it's not about the probability of any one individual suffering such a fate. This is the 'small man' argument, which people like FW, (I'd add EricB and KKK, but they never actually seem to have an argument of any time...they're more moronic Greek chorus than cogent voice for their causes) consistently put forth and wrap in a paranoic's cloke. The larger argument is what we, as citizens, want our government to stand for in terms of basic human rights. It's pretty clear to the rest of us here that the FWs of the world, and, unfortunately, they are a dime a dozen, either a) really don't give a shit or b) have a very low standard when valuing basic human rights, except for, of course, when they apply to them personally. This should come as no surprise. These are the same people who vote their pocket books rather than the greater good, despite the wealth, priveledge, opportunities, and security that the greater society has given them. Well, some of us do give a shit, even if we haven't been tortured in the Dark Prison in Afghanistan or had our phones tapped.

It was only a matter of time before some moron injected the bin Laden speech into what is actually a serious issue. Thanks, JayB...way to enhance your already shakey credibility.

I would think that the explicit loss of the right of habeus corpus, as specified in the Military Commissions Act of 2006, would be enough to chill any self-professed libertarian. In the case of certain feaux libertarians on this site, apparently it is not. A massive, extra legal electronic surveillance program, enemy combatant status (which, after all, has been applied to US citizens), Guantanamo Bay, Extra-Ordinary Rendition, secret CIA prisons, toture; all should give anyone concerned with how our government violates basic human rights (and not just those effecting our own punk ass skins) pause. Supporters of this administration (and yes, when you support their policies, you support them FW, KKK, despite your self professed 'libertarianism') are quick to fire off the play book argument of "Well, how have YOU been effected?". This is bullshit logic, of course, because the question really is "How have these policies affected our country?" When viewed in this light, these policies have been an enormously damaging issue for us around the world. It has sapped our credibility and hobbled our ability to pursuade the Arab world, and the rest of the world, for that matter, to move closer to our point of view and help us deal with violent extremists. It has a major root cause for our foreign policy failures over the past six years. Or perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

NE Buttress of Goode, in profile, from the North:

Thank you, and I agree that the other comperitor is sucking it in too much. My wife has posted on another forum with before and after pictures and a little history behind what she is doing. It's the second post down. http://www.t-nation.com/tmagnum/readTopic.do?id=1712494 Thanks to everyone who has voted so far. Apparently overnight there was a rally for the wife and she is now in first place. Not by much though, so if you haven't voted, please do. Mike OK, now, that's oversharing. Jesus.

"Any remaining freedom"? Gimme a fucking break. Your statement above is part of the reason this conflict will be longer, and more drawn out than need be. Put simply; you are an enabler. After all the discussion about what the hell went wrong in Iraq, it turns out to be Ashw_justin, 'The Enabler'.

There's a well written article in Scientific American on that very subject. Past two years, maybe? Recent ice ages, which were cyclical (caused by cyclical irregularities in the earth's precession, wobble, and orbit) were linked very closely to atmospheric CO2 and Methane content. When a significant amount of deforestation and agriculture came on the scene and began increasing those gases about 6000 years ago, the ice age cycles stopped. Oh, God, here I go again. That's all I'm going to say on this subject. Do your own research, kids.

Here's a "normal" pic of my wife and I. Thanks again for some of your support. Mike http://img129.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=23944_100_1212_122_223lo.JPG OK, I apologize for being in a shite mood this morning. Your wife's a nice looking woman, and if you like each other, which it seems like you do, that's what counts. One of her competitors is really sucking in her belly too much, though.

This has been discussed here ad nauseum. There are only two posters left on this forum too stupid to comprehend what's been going on.

Choosing to be in an internet 'hotness' contest doesn't signal a need for anonymous approval?

Not necessarily. I just don't want to have to wear a helmet around them.

I agree that people who lose weight deserve a pat on the back...not 'hero' status. Now, if they save the World and lose weight doing it, well, OK then. This is essentially an amateur women's body building contest. If the voting is for musculature, fine. If it's for 'hotness'...well, maybe it's just me, but I don't find basalt pecs and 4 lbs of eyeshadow particularly alluring. Furthermore, I question the health-mindedness of an organization that asks it's participants to lose 14 lbs in a month or whatever it was. That is no where near a normal rate of weight loss; and such feats are too often followed by rapid weight gain afterwards; which, by any measure, is not a healthy way to live. This is the kind of 'binge'/'purge' mentally that leads to an unsustainable and unhealthy dieting and drug use to achieve some grotesque version of 'hotness' pushed by late night infomercials. The need for these women to accumulate approval via the internet is more tragic than admirable.

Welcome to the 21st century, where loosing 14 pounds makes you a hero. Just my personal preference, but I prefer women that don't look like men. Mods, please place this in the "I get to go home to Starla every night" thread.

Better yet....there is no food, and Tvash is unconscious, smeared with peanut butter, hanging on a 7.7mm rope, 90 feet down in a crevasse with no prussiks. You have to set up a 9:1 z-pulley, haul him to the surface and...... god yer stupid...just cut the flickin' rope and go home and write a novel about it and retire on the proceeds... Whoever smeared me with peanut butter would be advised to heed this advice. I fuckin hate peanut butter.

Worship who you will, mortal ones, but expect not different results, for we all hang out at the same parties, and lo, you exist only as something to fuck with.

We might need a government program to stop the flood of the toxic and defective products from China. The story reports that defective condoms were provided from China to the health department. Interesting. If I did that, wouldn't that be a crime called fraud? But it's OK if... All products from China are toxic... to our economy. At the rate we are going, China will hold all the cards soon. Time for a gov't program to educate us about how buying the cheapest crap, and the most crap might not be the best idea... particularly when you can fill a tub with it.

again with the oversimplifications - you are a classic - moron, that is. I'm not adverse to reasonable levels of taxation (like the current levels, for example), but would like to see better ROI on what we spend our money on - that goes across the board. I believe in limited gov't not NO gov't as the Libertarian Party seems to advocate in the US (they are way too extreme). And I don't want to smoke pot, although I don't mind letting people smoke it who want to. but...you supported the war. Does the +/- sign in front of the ROI count?

:lmao: Nothing to do with our relationship dipshit. Read the Koran. Your an infidel and deserve to die. Can somebody tell me why this fuck-stick hasnt been banned yet? Seahawk is the only surviving species of non-climbing butt fungus from the Mt. Hood spore release that still infects our site. I would guess he casts his spores far and wide across the web, gracing many otherwise perfectly functional websites with the signature scent of illiterate ass cheese. An inability to feel embarrassment or shame is usually diagnosed at sociopathy, although in his case it may simply be due to having so few functioning neurons that none may be spared for anything other than vital organ function and the motor skills required for typing. Unfortunately, and somewhat inexplicably, considering his homo habilis level of brain function, he has already managed to convince a woman (and we can only imagine how bright a bulb she is on the marquee) to procreate with him. We can only hope that his children will be permanently incarcerated at an early enough age to stem the infestation in the long term. ahhh. The Endangered Species Act. Im sure an exception could be made for this jackass. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that fungal spores are so simple, and therefore hard to kill. With so few moving parts, their's nothing to break. Even if you bathed the site with an extremely lethal dose of UV, some Seahawk, hidden deep within the anus, would probably survive. Furthermore, he might mutate, or worse, combine DNA with KKK, under such a regimen. Who knows what such a dangerous experiment might produce?

OMG! One more hypothetical, nonexistent threat made up by some coocoo clock on the interwebs after all other arguments against universal health care have been long exhausted. Forget Iraq, forget the stock market crash, forget global warming...WE MUST JOIN TOGETHER AND FIGHT THE NEW THREAT OF MEDICAL TYRANNY! This isn't just another case of the government sticking it too us, THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT STICKING THEIR FINGERS UP OUR ASSES! THANK YOU PETER FOR ONCE AGAIN MAKING US AWARE OF A THREAT WE NEVER EVEN DREAMED COULD EXIST! WE ALL SLEEP BETTER KNOWING THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE EVER VIGILANT!

Think 14 is too young? Think again. Unrestricted marital age in all 50 states is 18 or older, BUT...many states allow girls to marry under the age of 16 or 15 with parental consent and a court waiver, particularly when, you guessed it, a pregnancy is involved. New Hamshire allows girls to marry under these restrictions at, gulp, 13. What an efficient and lucrative way to get a problem teen out of the house quickly. 'merica! FUCK YEAH!

i.e. Pimp Your Ride II.

WOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
