    Bush Lied?

    sigh
  2. David, did you notice all those clean-cut, broad shouldered guys discretely following you while speaking into their headsets? Makes you want to put on a tinfoil hat.
  3. Jack Mormons aren't good Mormons, they're the best Mormons!

    rope vd?

    you're invited to come check Bogen, for all sorts of interesting reasons why you might not want to taste the rope, search for a thread named 'fight club smile'

    rope vd?

    ?? Why does my name come up in the second post of a thread on VD? Michelle, I thought we'd agreed to keep a few things- just a few things -just between the two of us.
  6. You paint a mighty pretty sheep, pardner ever thought a' doing some anime?

    Wired Debates

    That would be "Who wants to be a Millionaire" for 500 pts, Alex.
  9. I just saw GregW- he's fine-just busy It's hard work. C'mon, bring back the conservatives!!
  10. would that be an offsight?
  11. whatever I'm up to, you can be sure it's hard work.
  12. Boise sucks. Utah's cool, hip, got rock climbing, skiing. Stay away from Idaho- its a lousy state.

    Wired Debates

    There has been some speculation that Bush was wired for his debate with Kerry. See link here. Question is, does it matter?
  15. that's funny. thanks j_b
  16. Yeah, it basically ignores human nature. It's as if they formulated these plans with all the thought of a game of Risk : "So, if I put my base here that means that I own this region and all it's resources are at my disposal."
  17. So, I've got a bunch a of iTune files that I'd like to cut up and remix. What sort of software is necessary? Any recs?
  18. It's not so opaque why we're in this war. Please visit the website of Project for a New American Century. Since the late '90's this group of neo-cons has been pushing for war with Iraq, ostensibly to eliminate the threat of WMD's. However, this group has held that American security depends on access to Middle East oil. Towards that end, the group has advocated establishing a set of military bases in the Middle East. The founding members of PNAC include Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Cheney. Jeb Bush signed on by 1998. Invading Iraq and establishing bases in the middle east have long been part of this group's plan for world security. Here's a outside link on PNAC here
  19. Gentlemen, its clear we're losing sight of priorities. MORMON CHICKS ARE HOT!! REPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS CULTURES BREED KINK!
  20. They both have shitty traffic SLC has Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood > Boise w/ Black Cliffs Boise has excellent whitewater SLC has better skiiing Alcohol laws are really weird in SLC, but you can work around them if you live there. Boise has a better art/music scene (Built to Spill!) SLC has more 'culture': opera, theatre, etc. SLC has Mark Twight. SLC has Grivel, Black Diamond, and a thousand other gear manufacturers, so you're more likely to find gear deals. Idaho will offer more solitude, wilderness, wolves and grizzlys, Utah will offer crowds, the vacationing elite, and the Beautiful People. I'm an Idaho guy, and I always dream of going back.
  21. The Stone Gardens program has always had great staff for their kids programs- very supportive, very friendly. I watched members of their staff work with some pretty challenged kids- autism, etc- and have excellent results. I'm not as familiar with the VW program, but it always is a strong presence on the competitive circuit, and sends lots of kids to national comps. I know there are lots of parents & instructors (and prolly some kids) on this board who can give more advice.
  22. Yeah, I did, as I believed that we were going in to prevent genocide. Since then, I was challenged by some posts by the late G-rung to look into the causes and execution of that war- in retrospect, our participation in that war was less of an effort to prevent the loss of civilian life than it was an effort to secure future access to Baltic oil. Still, what is on our plate NOW is how to deal with the shit-hole we've created in Iraq. Bush is dim and stubborn- unable to recognize that his policies aren't working, unwilling to try alternative strategies. Speaking of which, what do you think of his post-war plan? I believe that he was honestly surprised that we weren't whole-heartedly embraced after the fall of Saddam, and has been unable to formulate a new approach since then.
