What are you talking about Rob? We already produce way more food then we need...look at all the fat people in America.

I'm always telling new tree climbers, "don't be a tree hugger," it's really poor form, kind of like using your knees while rock climbing. THIS THREAD WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IN THE NEW TREE CLIMBING FORUM Wirlwind reread your posts; you sound like a class A moron.

So what's the house you live in made of? Do you ever read the paper? When you wipe your butt do you use a sponge or do you stick your thumb up your ass?

So what's the exchange rate to Canadians? Can't beat a

...getting paid for it is so #1 That is a dam good reason... but there are others

There are lots of reasons to cut down live trees pal, and when you do cut them down you need to anchor yourself off up in the tree. Your talking oversimplistic eco-kook jargon there.

If your going to set up a ledge that big in the maple at the base of Godzilla you're going to be hanging so low you'll block the trail. Don't cut old growth s

Shouldn't that be the NEW TREE KILLING FORUM ? A lot of the time ya gotta climb em to kill em.... at least in the city.

You're not very good at interpreting drunkspeak. Try reading again, slowly. Keep in mind there are about 3 to 4 subjects.

I wouldn't have listed that tree as a high priority for death, but if it pissed Sisu off then.... This post sure would be better in the NEW TREE CLIMBING FORUM

He looks lit up in this picture.

Inquiring minds need to know.

I seriously think he has a short attention span and doesn't see the big picture on most issues. Right now we have a bunch of troops in Afganistan that he's forgotten about and even more troops in Iraq that he wants to forget about. I think it might be our duty to go in to Liberia. All this will make us super fucked if something else starts up. All he's interested in doing at home is dimantling the government by cutting taxes to the rich. Then there's his short sided view of environmental issues.... Bush does suck.

It's your lover Tom Stoppard's birthday and you haven't said a thing.

I think the punch line is something like j b saying, "Maybe I'm just arguing in my spare time." I remember a bunch of threads where there was a fun arguement going on, and then Goat and j b ruin it. It's kind of like traveling in the desert SW and runing into some place where some asshole named Anasazi went and ruined everything.

The Olympics are the perfect place to take hallucinogenic drugs and stare at funky trees. Other than that the climbing is fairly suck.

I burn biodiesel on a regular basis. I'm not into government subsidies of big agrobusiness, however that's a seperate issue form why I burn it. Let me give you a list Regular diesel is carsinogenic, biodiesel is not Regular diesel emits all kinds of pollutants, biodiesel doesn't (with the exception of NO) Regular diesel adds stored carbon to the atmosphere, biodiesel only adds carbon that the soy plants soaked up(or I should say 75% less stored carbon) I fail to see how biodiesel can only be produced with government subsidies. If there were no subsidies then we could buy cheap soy beans from all over (like you said in your post) and thus the price of biodiesel would be less. Sorry but your logic sucks.

We're watching your every move...hahahaha

When I first saw this thread I thought it said: Giant Sea Creature Battles Chilean Scientists

What about THE NEW TREE CLIMBING FORUM , with weekly editorials by AlpineK? Yeah, fuck Puget I demand THE NEW TREE CLIMBING FORUM

That's what ya call tough love pal.

I've never read any Ayn Rand, so I can't comment on her writing. It seems to me that pure individualism and pure capitalism are one and the same thing. Collectivism would be similar to Socialism. I would argue that society is composed of individuals that still have needs as a group. If all you do is try and improve your own situation you will eventually have a negative impact on others. For example I try and sell work and make money for myself. In order to do this I need to hire people to do the work. I pay them for what they do, and I make money. However if an employee hurts themselves on the job it is my social obligation to have industrial insurance for them, and in fact the state requires me to do that. A pure individualist would say the state should make no such requirement. The downside of collectivism is easy to see by looking at communist countries or REI. Somewhere inbetween the collective good and the individual good is the best place for us all to be.

This whole thing sucks. There's already enough development presure on Smoke Bluffs/Squamish. If you like climbing at Squamish this is some of the worst news you could imagine.
