I'm waiting for him to start bitching about the $130 million a year tax payers spend on USOC

$100 = a week in Thailand or Nepal if you are careful

you didn't volunteer to infiltrate the alternative community?

from second hand experience in SEKI - bullshit

There's no fucking way your total premium is $300 a year dipshit

no no mattp! Lets band together and each buy a sections of the 520 and I90 bridges. We'll charge a toll, do no maintenance, then get bailed out by local businesses when our section collapses!!!!

Please tell me you are having Anderson Cooper steaks for dinner

Nothing is absolute. It's been my experience that a number of corporate crimes go un punished and that punishments meted out by the market only affect the economically rational individual.

ceorl - the free peasant who formed the base of Anglo-Saxon society. What's with the elitism?

So you are planning to eliminate bankruptcy to enforce this? It's all well and good to make something illegal - without investigation, enforcement and punishment thats pissing in the wind.

But the market is setup to punish them? Oh wait, no, it isn't. Nothing bad happens to them except they might have to selloff that wine collection or the Gulfstream. Look at who is paying to clean up the mine in Holden - not the corporation that profited from it! You! Me! We!

I 3rd the motion for a climbing pass forum!

try some beers and cigarettes to loosen up the colon

yeah, that would be AWESOME! back to the middle ages! the free market can only benefit us!

exactly - vehicle weight based road tolls will reduce driving and road damage

DMAN FUCKING STRAIGHT! I'M TIRED OF PAYING FOR PUBLIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS! I'M TIRED OF SUBSIDIZING THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY! PRIVATIZE IT ALL!

He's just bitter FW never gives him a reacharound

you are saying I shoot blanks?

hello stagflation!

you are priapic

damn, that sucks

people see temps in the 90s and think nothing like climbing barren volcano scree?

If you want a unique experience with lots of big mountains nearby to climb with quasi-reasonable logistics checkout Chile, Bolivia or Peru. Kathmandu is a flat smoggy city that's not easy to escape by road or airplane. If things work well, 1/2 day to escape to the trailhead. If they don't, a frequent occurrence, a full day. To climb anything in Nepal you'll have to pay. The trekking peaks, shortest and cheapest you'll likely be interested in, are $350 for 1-4 persons. Bigger peaks cost more. That's not counting your national park fee, "gratuity", etc. People have bypassed these in the past but if you are employed in Nepal not advisable. Trekking through the villages close to Kathmandu would be awesome on the weekends but it won't be spectacular scenery.
