Perhaps correct. In defense of the Kashmiri - Kashmir is by no means an open society, and it is most certainly being occupied by a foreign power (namely Hindu India) - recently there's been a scandal where government troops would randomly select and shoot "insurgents" who had demonstrably done nothing wrong and had no links to anyone.

The Islamic man on the street and the left-wing commentariat here at cc.com evidently have quite a bit in common when it comes to their perception of those events. Might make for a good game show: Theory Espoused at Moveon.org or...Madrasah in Waziristan? I thought his damnation of the MSM quite rightwing.

according to the islamic man on the street 9/11 wasn't perpetrated by Muslims but orchestrated by W as part of his reelection campaign - all lies from the MSMedia (his words not mine). Apparently I should read the Koran as well, it'll bring about world shaking truths. -As told to me in Srinagar (old town, near the lake)

Sabreteeth. I own them

"Steven Milloy publishes JunkScience.com and CSRWatch.com. He is a junk science expert" He's full of shit so he can recognize others who are full of shit?

did I try to put the cat in the car ignition again?

That people take politics far too seriously! What do I know though, I'm just a communist lefty!

Those are just synonyms for Republican and Conservative anyways.

On the plus side shitty snowboarders really up the ante in tight chutes for anyone skiing skis longer than a 160 thanks to that board width trench running right down the middle

There's a challenge to riding your heel side edge in a straight line down the entire run?

Fat skis are better in powder and mank. On ice narrower skis are generally better. Go to Europe and try to find a ski wider than 85mm at the waist, or longer than 180cm at a hut. You won't unless you dragged it up there. A majority will be ~75-80mm at the waist and 170cm long. These would make quite good climbing skis.

The Micropuff pullover rocks.

You forgot Hannes Schneider et all kicking ass with Christie turns in the Arlberg (20s and 30s), then teaching the world to ski like that. If it floats your boat, whatever. It's just a turn, not a lifestyle hippie. Oh, and for most people Tele = License to Suck

Thailand is alot like Disneyworld. Get the fuck out of Bangkok as soon as you can.

sorry, I've been out of the loop. The sprayflexes are rusty

I usually am. Money makes me fat.

And some of us have employers who fuck you over.

If you are considering the eTrex vista, why not look at the Magellan eXplorist 500 or 600? If you want to use it in a car, like say navigating to a trailhead, bigger screens are nice.

goat sacrifices are much more appealing than cow sacrifices unless you feel an inner Kurtz

Try finding a "big mountain" or "powder" ski that doesn't sport a twintip. Ski companies hire monkeys to do marketing and graphic design on skis - who else would put WHITE TOPSHEETS on powder skis? (Volkl)

Do you include non-English speakers in this desire for the vernacular? How about the illiterate? Or are you merely worried about WASP disenfranchisement?

No, I've spent 2 months outside of the idiotic cocoon of nicompoops that is the US. People die, people fuck, people suck, people smoke, people drink. THATS LIFE! Do you know who really fears fucking? The Islamists.

There's numerous transfer services, some cheap, some not so cheap. The train is long and a pain by comparison

OH NO! MY CHILD HAS SEEN PROCREATION/DEATH/LIFE! GOOD FORBID THEY EXIST OUTSIDE OF A COCOON!

Speak for yourself. This tool does absolutely no work.
