It seems that almost every political post on the forum is heavily left leaning. Also, it's sad that there is such harsh language and intolerance being preached. I hope I never run into those of you that are arrogant at the crag.

Wow SkipptyDippty another what the f*#k are you talking about moment.
Who said anything about Blacks?
Are you brain damaged or brain dead?
Why? Don't you want to learn how to climb from real climbers?

@WannabeClimber- Yes, there are the left wingers. But there are also the right wingers, the center wingers and the top and bottom. But when it comes to the crag do you really think these left wingers are going to be "spraying" political non sense? NO! They will be climbing. So ya, dont trip.
Got any trip reports for us or just complaints?

@altieboo. I was asking a question. Also, I did just start a supertopo account because I did the South Face on the column and wanted to make a trip report for beginners like me.

Thanks for posting.
I'm a Republican, but not a Republican that is unable to think through, and accept----- new ideas & concepts: that are challenging.
It appears I don't have much in common with the rest of the Republicans on ST.

@wannabeclimber- SICK! I would really dig that. The Column has been looming over me every time that I flop in backpackers camp. I've heard that it is a great route. Unfortunately all of my friends have either already done it or wouldn't know how to place a hook much less a cam. How did the Kor Roof look? My friend Dean keeps telling me: "DUDE! You gotta go up there and free that thing. Its just a sport route!"
EDIT: It may be this Osaka pills or my lack of formal MLA training but I didnt see a question mark or anything resembling the structure of a question. There for being a statement.

Just what we need another rightie with a victim mentality. Yeah almost every political post... with the exception of the big contingent of righties who post a LOT here and centrists, and left of centers. The true left wingers here are a small percentage. But as usual to a conservative anyone who isn't conservative (and even some who ARE conservative just not enough i.e. Rinos) are left wingers.

If by righty you mean moronic brainwashed republitard. If by lefty you mean someone who has some ability to reason and is not so self-centered as to subconsiously justify destroying the lives of others.
Yep most climbers have somewhat higher than average abilities to think rationally.. thus they may be labeled "lefties" by those who are merley brainwashed and ignorant and lacking the time to think, Or by the fearful and self-centered that have spent a lifetime carefully protecting their self-centerdness from any thought that might prick their conscience.

It is possible to be neither left nor right.
Or so far right you're left.
Or so far left you're right.
Mostly, we the people of the Supertopo forum, tend to drivel.

@altieboo. I'm working on the trip report now. I will message you once it is done. As far as the Kor roof, I think it is probably impossible to climb it following the bolt ladder. And also, by the pictures I'm posting, you will in fact find out I am a liar because I am half Japanese, not half black. :)

A lot of climbers are progressive because they are educated, they know the importance of protecting the environment, they understand that we are all in this together and society needs to provide a saftey net for the less fortunate, and they aren't willing to trash the Earth because, what the hell, the "Rapture" is just around the corner.

I dont think that Donini is implying that by any means. Its a statement of truth. Who created slavery? Whites. Nuff said.
EDIT: Slavery in our country. Slavery, obviously was around much longer which is where the notion came from.

Fortunately I will also be the FIRST to admit that. But that is the oh so great thing about open forums, debate, conversation and campfires. To spew non sense, get called out, call out, learn, shift thinking and have a good time.
But you probably wouldnt agree with that either. Nooo. Campfires are for smores and smores alone.

Perhaps to have an opportunity to climb with a prolific figure in the history of climbing? Oh wait. Being humbled and honored isn't good enough for some folk. No. You need to beat the sh#t out of hippies to feel good about the day.

That's how I roll..
And ask yourself who sold us those slaves you were so concerned about. Irish nuns? No.
It's really off-topic, but for the record they were sold by Muslim oppressors of North Africa. Sure, we bought, but let's keep sh#t in context.

Nah, it was my Italian brothers. But it's cool, we rolled with it and assimilated. We're still greasy (the genes), but this is home now.

Oh Lil Skippie you are such an arrogant twinkie.
You don't have the chops to stand in Donini's shadow.
And yet he would freely climb with you.
He is far from being an elitist. And he has one of the more worldly views among us.
But in your putrid little provincial world you have the audacity to lamely attempt to lay a steaming coiler on him.
Who is next on your sh#t list?
It's already clear you have nothing but disdain for gimps. So will you be hhurling your next explosive diarrhea at Jello?
You are nothing but a cheap little squat thruster.
And Blewthing by your definition Fatfraud is not an American. Yet you regularly sit in a circle jerk with him. But that is no surprise either.

I am a little slow to this thread: but it has been a great family evening.
A lot of wine, some fine conversations, and the joy of watching TV show of Stanford trouncing Notre Dame at football.
So------the slippery slope here is------who is white?
With my historical Republican view, I am able to say: Caucasian = White.
However??
Maybe some posters here don’t think that all Caucasians are White?
For all I know??
Some posters here think Germans, Russians, or Arabs aren't white?
Then again?? we have Arabs who are posting that some Arabs are not White?
http://www.assatashakur.org/forum/they-all-look-like-all-them/230-white-arabs-tell-sudanese-you-negroes-not-arabs-stop-using-our-name.html
WHITE SEMITIC ARABS OF SYRIA, ARABIA, IRAQ, EGYPT, LEBANON AND THESE NATIONS HAVE TOLD SUDANESE "ARABS," THAT THEY ARE NOT "ARABS," AND SHOULD STOP USING THE TERM "ARAB" IN THEIR GENOCIDE AGAINST THEIR OWN BLACK NEGRO AFRICANS.
According to one source, Black Sudanese "Arabs," who look for refugee status in places like Syria are rejected as "Arabs," because although they may speak Arabic, they are not Arabs, but African Negroes.
This is the point that Pan-Africans have been making to these Sudanese "Arab" Nigg...s who have been brainwashed by the "white" and "colored" foreign Arab minority who rules the nation of Sudan and have their own form of APARTHEID in Sudan.
Dear ST?? Who is white?
