"Americans pay so much more for our health care than Europeans because we take such poor care of ourselves. And once we get disease, we may not manage the care processes as well as Europeans do ... America's health care crisis has two enormous wings. On one side, a fee-for-service reimbursement system and a lack of transparency cultivate an opportunistic culture that generates excessive care and cost throughout the health care supply chain, the care delivery system and the financing sector. On the other, a food industry preys on our children without regard for the consequences to them or the welfare of the nation." Right on for the unfettered free market!

"They found strong evidence that Americans have much higher levels of lifestyle-related chronic disease than do Europeans - in other words, we're sicker - that American medicine tends to identify and treat disease more aggressively than does European medicine, and that our more excessive lifestyles and aggressive treatment patterns undoubtedly contribute significantly to our much higher per capita health care spending, which can be twice what Europeans pay." Nice like. This exert from the article cuts against an argument in favor of a U.S. - type for-profit health care insurance system.

Whatever, libtard.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

I don't want to have to pay $600 / month for health insurance when I'm retired. I'd rather spend my money on fine wine and skis.

I just call him Mr. Blanchard. Don't know him well enough to call him Barry or Bubba.

Who needs a lot of clearance? You planning on taking it off-roading?

And post some pic's!

Hell yeah. Submit that shit to Alpinist. Better than most of the drivel they publish. And don't let those cocksuckers edit a thing!

Git a jorb fawking hippy.

Maybe you're just out of shape.

"In Washington, they sometimes say that those of us in Appalachia need help because we're not very smart. Well, we're smart enough to know that only God can change the earth's temperature - not Al Gore." Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship speaking over the weekend at the West Virginia for the Friends of America Rally and free concert (also featuring Sean Hannity, Hank Williams, Jr., and Ted Nugent).

As soon we pass the 28th Amendment giving ten-year-olds the vote. (I mean they are old enough to play kickball). There are 15-17 year olds in school too, Einstein. Just old enough to show up for the 2012 elections. And if it weren't for you meddling kids, Old Man Obama would have gotten away with his evil scheme! Nice work Scooby Doo!

Yeah. Take that Obama!

Kimmo: So - how'd this go, by the way?

You obviously missed the subliminal messages in Arabic to "rise up and kill whitey."

Exactly. So you portlanders shouldn't complain about lack of nearby climbing opportunities. From what I understand you also have local bouldering and a couple other shit hole crags. Seattle has UW Practice Rock.

KKK, what an astute observation. Excuse me why I go search the internet for a picture of Jesse Helms for my Avatar image.

Say what?

Depending on where you live in Portland seems like its not too far to places like Warm Springs or even Smith. It's 1.15 to 1.5 hrs to Index from Seattle and maybe 2? hrs from Portland to Warm Springs, a pretty easy day trip.

I'm sure its better than it looks, and some of those pictures show some nice cracks. I was just trying to bait K-Bone. You guys sure get defensive about the place.

Holy shit! That's a great story.

He was probably playing hockey.
