Is it not going to be fun Snowboarding when its really cold outside?

Full question:

Im going up to Bogus Basin on Friday an it says the high is going to be 9 and the low -6. Should i just dress really warmly or not go at all? Will it effect how i board?

Best answer:

I've been in that scenario many times, both in Jackson Hole, WY and Killington/Stratton in VT.... ITS ALWAYS WORTH IT. It will be well below 0 at the top of the mountain, but just make sure you bring some hothands to keep your fingers warm, good socks for your toes, and a neck gaiter you can full up to keep your face warm at the top. 100% go. The only thing I foresee it affecting is the weather: since its so cold, it should be beautiful clear skies. Have fun boarding.

Are the people in Boise mean, or unkind?

Full question:

I am thinking of moving there, but the people have not been nice to me when I went, there were so many experiences in one trip, I am considering not moving there. I live in California, and am extremely conservative, and I can't take another day in LA, so I decided to head north, but on one visit, the people I came across were not so great. I was flipped of by a guy, maybe 20, for having a California license plate. I was cussed out at Bogus Basin by an 11 year old, because I was riding a lift up to a slope that was easier than his, when I confronted him, he tried to actually pick a fight. I was cursed out by a coffee shop owner, because I like black coffee, and told her I don't care for milk, frothy, or smooth. Some kids ran around a parking lot yelling F You at every adult they saw, and when an older gentleman said to watch their language, they cussed after him, until he walked away. All in the same day. My experience in all other red states has been great! People are always nice, so what happened there? If anyone lives in the city, could you tell me your opinion on the people there, if I am right in thinking people are unkind, or if I had really bad luck?

Best answer:

haha man, that whole day is a bummer. society is falling to pieces... i have friends from spokane who always make fun of people from idaho. maybe now they've decided to get all defensive? do you consider yourself snobbish/californian? the only time people have ever been that hostile to me was when my dad pulled his old bmw up into a rural wyominf gas station; all these american indian kids hanging around outside of the gas station stared and made faces the whole time. move to minnesota, everyone there is so chill and real. i used to live there, and you would walk into a gas station and the employee would be like, "hey, how are you doing, how's your day been?" and you could just have a real actual conversation then and there. loved it

Confused... please help?

Full question:

I was at a party a few weeks ago over Christmas break. We were up at a place called Bogus Basin that is in the mountains a couple of hours away from where I live. I begged my parents to go with some friends up to sleep over at the lodge and have some fun, since they had parties to go to for New Years. I finally bribed them into saying yes. We had a good time the first day and went snowboarding and just kind of messed around. New Years Night all the girls (there was probably 15 of us) and all the guys (same amount) decided to go to a party/get together thing at The Pit a place by the lodge. There was a lot of alcohol and dancing. Things were crazy. I try to stay away from drinking especially when I am trying to get in shape for track season in the spring. So I told myself I wasn't going to drink, because I needed the athlete's scholarship. I was sitting with some girlfriends kind of off to the side when a friend of a friend came up to me and said hi and started making small talk. He was attractive so I kind of responded and we talked for a while. He told me he wanted me to go upstairs to show me some music records that hang on the walls, because I had said I was in to old music. Next thing I know we are on the ground and he is pulling down my jeans and shoving his hand up my jacket and shirt. It was like my mind wasn't processing what was happening. I could feel him trying to release his pants and once he did his hand reached down and started caressing my"private parts". I was frozen, I didn't stay stop, I didn't fight, I didn't do anything. I just sat there. Then he was in me, ripping me apart; he was just relentless. Next thing I know he is gone, and I walked into a bathroom and fixed myself up. I told one of my friends I was tired and that I wanted to go to bed. She asked me what happened, because I looked like crap. I told her nothing and left. The reason I am telling you this is because I don't know if he... forced himself on me. I didn't say no, I didn't try to stop him. But now my head keeps on filling with his face and the feeling, the smell, the touch of him and I don't know what to do. Everyone at school is worried, my parents are worried. I told them its nothing that I am just stressing over finals but I don't think it's nothing. Or maybe it is and I am just overreacting. That's the thing, I just don't know. Help. Megan Oh, I am 17. Almost 18.

Best answer:

if what you are saying really happened then you should start by talking to you're parents. Because this sounds an awful lot like he did rape you (i'm just going to say it out loud) and If you don't deal with this properly it will haunt you for a very long time! you need to get it out now while it is still clear and you can still remember right. I know it all sound very harsh what i'm telling you but believe my i know. I recently had therapy for something that happened over 5 years ago and ruined part of my live, if i only told someone right away things might have gone better in those years (everything fine now with me btw) Legally you might not get a conviction for rape because you did not say no but that does not make it right what happened and that definitely does not make it any less rape! so go out and talk to your parents, let them help you in finding the right kind of help for you. (i recommend EMDR)

I'm curious: Does anyone here honestly believe that the Bible claims that Pi is 3?

Full question:

I've usually assumed that people who make this claim are just being facetious. Are they? Is it just an arbitrary claim for Bible-bashers to whine about? Or are they just clueless at basic math? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (After all, a basin is not a two-dimensional object; it has three dimensions. Plus, a large basin of such dimensions would have a thick wall. And it involves multiple circles, not just one. And the Biblical text clearly says that the basin had a "lily blossom rim." That is, it was flared at the top. I never had an undergraduate student who was confused by this once they read the Old Testament passage describing the basin. But on the Internet, I seem to see this "The Bible says that Pi is 3" myth all the time. It is definitely a regular R&S posting. Indeed, in the last 24 hours an alleged mathematician with a master's in the field repeated the bogus claim. Yes, I realize he was probably a 12 year old but one can find supposedly serious articles on the topic posted by "scholars" online.) (1 Ki 7:23 NIV) He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. (1 Ki 7:26 NIV) It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths. ================================ Yes, "The Bible says bats are birds" claim is similarly bogus. It is indeed amazing how many Bible-bashing arguments show the reading comprehension and "common sense" of a third grader.

Best answer:

It's the same with the "God refers to bats as birds" claim. Making the claim is wrong and illogical on so many levels.

The World's Foremost Terrorist - The US Government?

Full question:

There is nothing that George W Bush, McCain or Obama can do to change the tide now...for it has turned into a tsunami against America. The Grand Chessboard game is over, finished, and the US has lost in a rout. Our nation has blown through trillions of dollars (of new debt) with little to nothing accomplished to pursue a bogus, contrived war that was designed to take over in excess of $15 trillion in Caspian Basin oil and natural gas. The sheer cost of the failed 'war' and scheme to take over the Caspian Basin has ruined the value of the dollar, buried the US in debt and a myriad of ancillary problems, skyrocketed the cost of oil, utilities, food, and shredded the reputation of the United States around the world. By any measure, it is a catastrophe. Wake up USA Obama is a Tyrant run by Banksters and Criminals who should all be behind bar's asset strip them all

Best answer:

The people who own America, Israel and the European Union are the most evil despotic criminals ever known to man. Sadly 99% of the population either don't have the intelligence to realise this or they are afraid to face the truth.

Why are actvists & the Catholic communities blaming America for hardship illegals confront when making?

Full question:

Why are activists & the Catholic communities blaming America for hardship illegals confront when making a trip across the border illegally ? It is now Americas fault illegals do not have easy access to enter America illegally . May I ask why is it no ones ever holds the illegals responsibility for their attitudes to life including deciding to cross the border illegally that is now not the fault of the illegal but they are quick to point out America is guilty of border crimes ?ARIVACA, Ariz. (CNS) | Nearly two years ago, 14-year-old Josseline Janiletta Hernandez Quinteros crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. She and her 10-year-old brother, both from El Salvador, joined a group led by a paid guide, known as a coyote, with hopes of meeting up with their mother, who lived in California. Along the way, Josseline fell ill and the group left her behind. Her brother wanted to stay with her, but Josseline told him he needed to keep going. He needed to make it to see his mother, she told him. Josseline said she’d be all right — she was his big sister, after all. Josseline died in the desert alone. Her body lay in a river basin for three months until Dan Millis, a volunteer with the humanitarian group No More Deaths, stumbled across it. Millis was hiking through the rough desert with three other volunteers leaving water for illegal immigrants. “We were doing a regular supply job,” he said. The group, which searches for migrants in need of medical assistance, also leaves behind food, water and socks at designated locations along migrant trails. Each item is dated and the group tracks the locations. If they come across a bottle of water later, while picking up trash at another drop-off point, they get a sense of the routes migrant are taking. Two days after Millis found Josseline’s body, federal law enforcement officials ticketed him for littering after he left supplies behind on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge on the U.S.-Mexico border. Refuge officials enforce a strict no-littering policy in respect for wildlife and the environment. Millis is sympathetic to the refuge’s environmental concerns. He and other No More Deaths volunteers pick up a lot of trash while on patrols. “We’re obviously not going to be deterred by these bogus littering tickets,” he said. “The biggest threat to human life out in the desert is lack of water, so we continue to put it out in the desert.” Millis was tried and convicted but not sentenced. The group is appealing the case. “We thought it was an anomaly,” Millis told The Catholic Sun, newspaper of the Phoenix Diocese. But it wasn’t. On Dec. 4, 2008, No More Deaths volunteer Walt Staton received an identical citation while on the refuge. A 12-member jury convicted Staton in June. Defying Staton’s conviction, 13 humanitarians from No More Deaths, Tucson Samaritans and Humane Borders went out to the wildlife refuge to leave behind water jugs for migrants. All 13, including Franciscan Father Jerome Zawada, received littering tickets. The Tucson 13, Father Zawada said, told officials of their intention before arriving at the refuge. Federal officials were waiting for them when they arrived. “We put the water down and were walking away,” the Franciscan priest said. “They asked us if we were going to pick it up. We told them we weren’t. So they wrote us tickets and put the water jugs in the back of their trucks as evidence.” Father Zawada, who is looking into establishing a Franciscan community in Tucson to serve migrants, said people are crossing the border “seeking survival for themselves and for their families.” The 13 were scheduled for court Nov. 11, but the trial has been postponed until 2010. In the meantime, the group has been meeting with officials from the wildlife refuge to work out where they can leave water. Calls seeking comment from officials with the wildlife refuge were not returned. While the number of migrant deaths in the desert has decreased since 2007, the number of deaths this year, 206 according to some estimates, is a drastic increase from last year’s 183 — with Josseline among them. What makes the increase even more tragic, according to No More Deaths volunteers, is that the number of migrants crossing has actually decreased. “Without any kind of actual legal path for people to come into the country — without any reform — it pushes people to more and more treacherous terrain,” said Jeffrey Boyce of No More Deaths. Volunteers have noticed migrant trails moving farther into the mountains. When people get lost, Boyce said, they’re not found in time. The U.S. Border Patrol has moved the migrant flow into more remote areas to help enforce immigration laws, according to Agent Mark Qualia. Days after the Tucson 13 were arraigned on littering charges, a group of young adult volunteers mapped out their patrols.

Best answer:

" didn't find that in the document that you posted here. Care to be more specific, so I can see it ? What I did find was the documentation of the border patrol picking up the water bottles. Perhaps they want the ilegals to die of thirst. Nice people indeed" ---------------- The water bottles got picked up because they were plastic and were "littering"--along with the tons upon tons of other trash that illegal aliens leave behind as they cross illegally. (And some groups have the nerve to claim that a border fence would harm the environment!) The group that places the bottles has been told previously to use something more environmentally friendly if they're going to leave out water. They've chosen not to do it.
