Having to admit liability and volunteering to do it because its the right thing to do are different. REI says they stand behind their products but apparently they want their suppliers to stand behind them instead when things go wrong.
Exactly. If REI doesn't want to accept liability they shouldn't sell shit under their brand.
Or they could look doubly douchey, like they do now

Apart from the adverserial system, there is another major question here. To those who say liability exposure is the problem here, I'd ask: what is the alternative? If you take the individual right to sue REI or if you cap liability awards as tort reformers would like to do, what incentive would there be for REI to insure that this doesn’t happen again? Would you rather have some kind of consumer safety board that would have the authority to close REI’s doors if they don’t clean up their act? Some other regulatory power? And what about Monika? Should public payor healthcare have been available to take care of her if she had no right to sue REI? Or, if she had no insurance, should she simply have been screwed?
In many ways, our tort system (personal injury and other suits for injury) is the ultimate "free market" approach to safety and victim compensation.
Why are you making this so complex matt? It sounds like REI wants to dump liability of their house brand products onto someone else; they branded it, they sell it under their name, they should take the liability.

Maybe it's time for a "Take Back Our Co-op" campaign where we get some decent people on the board and steer REI back to its roots.
Regardless, I'm writing in my board votes this year. No one currently sitting and up for reelection gets my approval.
this is a great idea. keep voting everyone out every year till they act right.
I believe the recent (last 6-7 years or so) changes to board nomination/voting procedures make it unlikely you'll ever produce a change.

What a crock of horseshit from REI.
Using logic why would I buy a Novara product from REI when REI will refuse to back the product despite what mealy-mouthed leftovers from a shyster bank say?

Gee I'm glad I'm a member.

Don't limit yourself to German girls - the Dutch, French and Spanish women are well worth a detour as well. If that fails theres always an Aussie.

...... Every once in a great while he manages to make a point, but most of his stuff might have well been generated by a random word generator.
This could be applied to - oh nevermind.
Sometimes watching the random word generator wind itself up into a frenetic, incoherent, rabid lather and then blue screen is well worth watching for nothing more than sheer entertainment value.

I thought this thread was about the arrival of your Fleshlight

but with much worse food
worse beer, food could be good to very good and certainly not "much worse" unless you are looking for Michelin stars (of which WA has none anyway
more likely to me a hottie tourist or transplant climber chica than an actual kiwi

And Cloudveil
Cloudwalker - Cloudveil were some others.

You even bother to argue with PP?
You'd have a tougher time with a chia pet.
I thought PP was a chia pet. The more shit you feed it, the bigger it gets.

Perhaps you should get back to the Bin Laden thread then
hey adultfriendfinder avatar - maybe you should get back to the Stephen Harper pedophile lounge?

I can hear PP fapping to this pic lightyears away

These are the people we should be sending to war.
I'll take a couple of the sluts if you don't want them

Most of those kids look like they were 8 when 9/11 went down, is there a fraternity row next to the White House or something?
when I lived there... yes. They are often "aides". The slutty ones are well.... sluts. Pay to play. Down the block the 20 year old showed up at 10am in her Carrera Convertible to service after wife had gone to the gym

DOn't you know? It's different when democrats do it.
the Republicans stole the socialized medicine issue from them in Mass so they had to do something.

Do try to get your heads out of your asses before asphyixiating on your own farts that you keep blowing around the threads that you claim are "informed." Try a bit of reality instead of an internet search and copy paste.
What was that about a $4500/rate?

The validity of the events in the book is turning into a he said/he said cluster.
If you want to read it that way... sure it is. Clearly you do. Nitpicking choice bits of a narrative doesn't revoke the whole - a logical fallacy deployed by all of the opponents of Krakauer it seems.
FWIW I think CAIC's major accomplishment is to provide validation for Western Yuppies.

And props to Darsney for issuing a statement in support of Mortenson.
Darsney's statement was the kind of statement of support people underfire can do withoutIf Greg is misappropriating funds, then show me the luxury cars, fancy boats, and closets full of shoes. This is not a “ministry” or a business gone corrupt. Are there not other NGOs and nonprofits that stray now and then? Don’t they also spend more internally as they get bigger, especially when growing quickly? But their intent and purpose still stay on the course of the mission.it's great for rallying the cheerleaders though - comeon KirkW I know you can, I know you can!

KirkW can't be that dumb, can he?

The VAT came about as a cheap way to raise taxes because the burden of compliance was put on the individual - not so much because they didn't want to stick it to the rich

If you don't want to accept any and all don't sell it under your name sell it under theirs
As a consumer do you want to buy a private label product knowing the labeler (REI, Performance Bike, Safeway) won't accept responsibility for what's in the product manufactured by some entity you can't determine?
