So what are you doing about it, besides complaining on a climbing website about it?

Right on dude! There are so many people and issues that need help, many of them local, and it's a shame that people waste so much energy bellyaching over stuff that in reality they have no effect or control over.

Like? And how would we clean up our military? Get rid of the podunk 19 YO private making 18k a year. Should we replace them with highly educated individuals with morals like DFA? You need to be more specific, because generalizing things makes it sound so damned simple. From my standpoint a person who has spent years in a terrorist training camp learning how to kill us, and has been captured, should not be provided the rights of a citizen of this country. Oh one last thing, the whole accountability thing. If you haven't noticed, it's common modus operandi to deny involvement and accountability in our society, I mean they start teaching it in Kindergarden.

So what do you do about it?

What I profess politically? I don't profess anything politically I hate politics, I hate Bush, I actually don't even like a lot of things about our country. I hate people like you who just complain all day long but do nothing to make their world or community a better place. I hate SUVs. I hate mayonaisse. Should I continue? No I'm not too concerned about the people who are being tortured because what I'm I going to do about it? Did I say innocent people should be tortured? No I didn't, that is wrong. There is no disconnect, but I'm not going to show compasion for people who don't by no means deserve it. I'm also not blind to the fact there are times when desperate times require desperate measures. Hey isn't this where you post some lyrics to a song I don't care about?

And that is why I study a disease that is ravaging all of Africa and other third world countries. NICE TRY DICKHEAD!

So when you say civilized society you mean like blowing yourself up inside of a pizza parlor, flying airplanes into buildings, driving cars full of explosive through checkpoints, killing elected officials of a newly free goverment to a country of which you aren't even a citizen of?

Hey here is a story about prisoner abuse that didn't make the headlines! In WWII an aircrew had to bail out over the town of Speicher, Germany. Speicher is this little shit town in the middle of nowhere in Germany. After reaching the ground the aircrew was rounded up by the townspeople only to be pitchforked to death. Upon learning this allied aircrews would save one bomb from their runs and sometimes go out of their way to "save one for Speicher".

I read the link in question. I don't see what is so outrageous about it that you have to wig out about it. Yeah people get tortured, tough shit, it's only been happening for thousands of years. I'm all for torturing, get all those terrorist and child molesters and rapists in one room and just fuck them up. Should innocent people be tortured? Who would answer yes besides maybe..... Saddam Hussein and his deceased sons. Do you really think they are knowingly torturing innocent people over there? Star spangled blindfold, that's cute, you come up with that yourself?

DFA continue to live you pathetic unimpressive life with the wool pulled over your eyes believing everything you read on the internet with your false sense of how the world works.

No, our scientists will be looking for new careers since they have cut funding to the NIH by over half.

What ever you do don't watch the show 24..... they torture people and you might cry.

For the cost of the war, everyone in Bellevue could have a Humvee and have enough gas to drive it for a year as well as pay for insurance.

They make it pretty clear when you sign up that is what is going on. I personally don't have a problem with it, because while I'm sure they are collecting all sorts of demographic data from people they aren't invading their privacy. If Osama was replying to an email and he clicked on "Free Al'Q3ada tRain1ng manu4l with order of C'ial;is" and they reported that...... I'd be fine with that!

That article is totally alarmist and FUD. The guy writing that probably has 100 spyware programs installed and is having $10.67 taken out of his checking account every month without even knowing it because he is too worried about who could potentially read their email. The reality is anyone can read you email if they really wanted to.

Newsweek loves taking peoples lives. I haven't touched it since Mike Borda took his life.

If you have registered with cc.com or plan on registering, please either change your email to one other than Hotmail or use one other than Hotmail. It recently occured to me that after tons of support emails about people not getting registration info and retrieving login information, that they were all coming from Hotmail. While it's not entirely clear to me why this is happening, it is clear that the email is not getting through. If you are looking for an alternative to Hotmail I highly recommend Gmail, it is hands down better than anything else I have used.

Fuck off dude, it gets me to work faster, at least faster than the Humvee sitting on Montlake in gridlock.

Do people want to get together and watch the OC on Thursday night? I show rocks.

I've read about 20 posts and can't figure out what the hell you guys are talking about. When is the short bus coming to pick you guys up? Dru stop unbuckling your helmet.

Moderation just gets me so AMPED!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Man who took a shit in your Fruity Bebbles?

I'd refund your credit card Sisu, but we lost that data along with all the posts when our server crashed last night.

Becoming a pilot and actually flying after you get your license is exspensive. If you really want to fly there are aerobatic pilots out there that will take you up for a small fee and make you wanna barf.

On the bus today some kid had a sweatshirt on that had his last name of "Otter" on it.
