Not for lack of entry, I am sure.

Why do you say that Ken? You have piqued my curiosity. just admit you are a troll scott. then you'll just be an asshole instead of an ignorant cunt Troll, or not, you'll still be both, Hugh.

I think you perception and comprehension are clouded by your current recreational drug of choice.

The ultimate way to say "I love you" or "I'm willing to give you half my stuff." (Glad I'm not the only sick bastard who thought of that.)

No.

Good job calling out a mod for excessive namecalling. Everything below the chimney was what was awkward, for me, on BS; the chimney was just a 'grunt and go up' thing.

kevin... i have heard enough of your obsession with the war in iraq to make me want to cover you in used oil and roll you in sand and leave you in tied up in Dick Cheney's living room with a note that says "free puppy". i do NOT agree with the current administrations choices in Iraq. I am definitely not Scott's biggest fan. However, in this thread for the most part he has stated his opinions repsectfully and apparently, although disagreeing, taken the time to read the other opinions on this thread. and maybe even given them some consideration. joining the military post Iraq does not make him an idiot. It means he has a different value system than you do. I disagree with it but I can respect the fact that he is actively doing something to support his position. What are you doing besides bitching? For someone who bitches about name calling you sure through that one out at an inappropriate time. You had me at "free puppy".

This is more true than you will ever know, or admit. You are welcome.

I recall that crux is a couple-move wonder and then it's good. No need to fall.

This coming from Canada...that's funny. I would be worried if you started saying we were doing pretty good...really worried.

Sorry you are willing to give up your civil liberties Scott, the rest of us aren't. When one enlists in the military its a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice to make disparaging or defamatory comments about ones superior officers--including the commander in chief (POTUS). While you may see it as "giving up civil liberties" others see it as something a bit more noble, like sacrificing themselves for the greater good. Thank you for your service Scott. I may not agree with your perspective but I respect it. I had the same thought; too bad others missed it (or don't understand it). Thank you, Mr. Harpell.

I don't have to have climbed with the dude to know that there are better places for newbie leaders to learn gear-placing and other such skills needed by someone leading a naturally-protected climb. Re: Roger's Corner, it's a great climb, but I'm sure she's never climbed it. EDIT: While standing by my above statement, I have also been advised that the leader in question is not really a "beginner".

And you just blow! A given...does "she" swallow, though?

Wow, beginning trad leaders are starting on Index 5.9/5.10s now? If I had a friend who was a "beginning trad leader" (regardless of how hard they could follow), I would strongly encourage them to hone their leading craft on the easier sub-5.8 climbs of Leavenworth or Squamish, prior to jumping on Princely Ambitions, Godzilla, or Breakfast of Champions. I'm just saying...

Allowing the Government to take MORE of people's hard-earned money, thus removing it from the marketplace? Price controls? Sounds like the first step towards Maxine Waters's dream of a nationalized oil industry. No thanks.

Pffft. He's been exposed as so much warm milk...not even worth regarding, let alone indulging.

There is no way I'll ever be ready to "move on" to the type of America that Barack Obama wants to create (or Hillary Clinton, for that matter).

No tazer video? Darn.

Aren't those the sculptures at Galbraith? Those are by the son of the landowner, I believe (or so I was told).

His point is, cardiologists aren't cutters.

Is that your official position? Obama is dumb and only got into Harvard cause he's black? I was just being facetious about the "you're dumb" thing because these arguments are so childish. But now I wonder My official position? No, I was just throwing that out there for free. Although, it would be a tough argument to say that he DIDN'T get in based on Affirmative Action.

This is one of the most nonsensical statements yet, with regard to candidate selection. What is this love-affair/obsession with career politicians? By the people, of the people, dude. Our founding fathers didn't have any intention that only career politicians should lead the country. In fact, their intentions were quite the opposite. Oh, and you're dumb. Thanks for the insult. Anyway, call me crazy, but I prefer to hire someone with experience at the job for which they are applying. Would you apply mattp's criteria when searching for a cardiologist or oncologist? Here's another wedge of lime for you Kool-Aid: The moveon.org types claim that GWB is dumb and only got into Yale because of his father. Well, Obama is black. Could we not also say that he is stupid and only got into Harvard due to Affirmative Action? I think I just did. So far, rob, this has been an okay discussion; please keep your insults to yourself.

Why? Is that what you look like when you watch puppies get killed?

I am against his brand of change, which seems to be change for change's sake.
