  2. It is. You should try decanting it as a new weapon of evil - maybe crossbreed the strain with some beacon arguments and a little AT vs. Tele action. Add into it a health sense of Canadian inferiority and you'd have a real weapon on your hands. Arguments without data. Woohoo! I'm bettter than you!
  3. Since I've only 1 other old alias and I don't even know the password for it anymore I can keep perfect track of my one login. Unlike you nerds with multiple aliai. Spray
  4. So, which American courses did you take? It's the same with guiding - anyone can call themselves a guide in America but there are some excellent mountain guides in America. In Canada the average may be higher because of ACMG; doesn't mean you can't get a better guide in America. Oh - I'm jousting with shadows!
  5. I'm not revising away. Only pointing out that someone who painted communists a la Pollock - flinging red paint in every direction was bound to get something right. Noticed how you avoided the White House constitution joke. The "red menance" still strike more terror into your heart than wire tapping without a warrant, secret detentions, broad investigations of civilian behavior and executive fiat?
  6. Broadly comparing US avalanche education to Canadian education - since there was no standard level of US education until recently, every provide did whatever the fuck they pleased. Some were really excellent, indepth, and organized. Somewhere were half stoned bc afficinados. Which ones did you take and where?Since there was no consensus on what a US course was until recently, while Canada had established standards, comparing the 2 countries is retarded. I've taken a number of courses over 10 years and talked with a number of professionals (on several continents) about education standards, professional applicability, and usefulness. They think the CAA course is good. But for the same number of Class days some of the American Level 1-3 programs are good, as can be the USFS school. As always your $.02 may be different.
  7. Maybe if he knew an acutal number instead of making them up for effect as he went along he'd have some credibility. But then again I suppose bad data is fine when you're commie hunting, but not climate changing.
  8. Given the complete absence of meaningful (any) standards in American Avalanche Education until very recently (AIARE standards only have become big recently http://www.avtraining.org/ ) you weren't really comparing anything, merely flatulating wildly. As for course length USFS Avy School is recognized "worldwide" for whatever the fuck that is worth too.
  9. liberal mediocrity dragging you down? Seriously, 190cm+ is fun for the West.

    Forget Detroit

    Geeky, lame question here: does the "gimble" here relate to a gimble like on a flight instrumentation panel?
  11. http://www.cassin.it/uk/contatti.asp And ask for the US distributor. They will be able to direct you to a shop (if not, well, order from barrabes.com)

  15. Here, this is a little more absorbant This is the current White House choice
  16. In this context, Sobo applies the correct verbiage with "self-denigration". Great, another whigger.
  17. Official/Diplomatic passports are available to any governmental employee with need who files a standard passport application for one. Diplotmatic/Official just get a special immigration line (usually shorter) in most countries. And in the experience of friends, snider immigration officials. Uselessly all US citizens can apply for a 2nd passport http://iraq.usembassy.gov/iraq/second_passports.html
  18. www.avalancheschool.org
  19. Currently less than 23% of the US has a passport.
  20. Any recs you wouldn't mind making public?
  21. Who else would buy your lumber, ore and oil
  22. Well they've now moved on to thoughts of annexation to improve border security.
  23. Thats been scraped. The dumbasses from Texas didn't realize how much you depended on our trade, er, charity. http://www.btnmag.com/businesstravelnews/headlines/frontpage_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001882617
  24. No he's a Canadian. The difference is subtle but real. Now raise a toast to the northern ignoramuses.
  25. Uh, look up what an abortion is brightboy.
