Orogun01 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Guys, what happened to the Warning thread?

And it all makes sense now. Ros admits to living in a state in which something is rotten. Oby points out the rotten nature of the west.

Woldan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Surly in a place like Austria there must be loads of Mountain Climbing groups and societies, you could find one and join them can't you?Sadly nobody I know is interested in doing it in the middle of the winter. But less than perfect conditions is what makes a climb interesting. I'll keep looking, though, I definitely want to do this. I'd have gone if it was'nt for the fact that I live in Sweden, value my life, and more importantly that I have no constitution. You call this life? You're only alive when you're at least 6 feet under 3500 meters above sea level, knee deep in snow, climbing a 45° slope with icicles hanging off you beard so long you could use them as climbing sticks! Everything else is just mere ''existence''. [/fanatic] (I'm only half joking) I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Kneedeep in snow, with icicles coming of my beard is what I get when fetching firewood! (On a really cold, proper, winter that is.) If anything, life is sitting on the middle of the lake ice, by drilled holes - waiting for the fish to bite, sitting absolutely still and quiet and listening to the wind and ice... I probably would love to do mountain climbing, if it was'nt for the fact that I have really bad health, most importantly a bad stomach, and don't want to stay away from modern... facilities, if I can help it.

BruceVC Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 So I was watching the latest footage around Rob Ford the Mayor of Toronto that was filmed smoking crack cocaine. He finally said something I respect. He was being questioned by members of city hall and they were asking him about his drug usage and said to him "we are trying to help you " He basically responded by saying " I don't need help as I'm not an addict, I did drugs as it was a stupid mistake but I'm not going to blame the fact I did drugs on some external reason like I'm depressed or suffering from stress" I admire this kind of honesty, he is not saying he did drugs because of the Devil or because of a reason that wasn't his fault. He is saying he was drunk at the time and wanted to get wasted. Its rare to see this as most people in the public light will blame there drug taking on something else.

But its rare to see someone in his position who is telling the truth about why he did something. You could argue this is just a political strategy and he is doesn't have another choice but most people would still use a defence like " its all this stress...I need help " "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Even I'm not crazy enough to buy Arc from ebay Oh, color, yeah, that totally explains it. Must be a very special black or something. What I did today: I just had a heated discussion with that female person that gave birth to me. She wants a key to my door for ''emergencies'' in case I'm not feeling well / sick / injured / insert totally ridiculous situation and I can't help myself. I kindly told her to f*** off that I'm a grown-up man and not a helpless little pet animal, that my well-being is my concern and I'm not handing out keys to anyone. Why do mothers have to be so bloody irrational and overly protective? I thought I was being well past that time when I had arguments with my mother, now I feel like I'm a ten year old kid again.

Mothers will never see you as anything but the 10 year old boy with skinned knees, no matter how old you are. Even if you've been acting the parent half the time , they'll still insist on saying things like "Don't you dare ride on the back of your friends bike! It's not safe!"
