Bias In Search For Missing People??: A Rant
Lake Titicaca | Today | Brainhose

Posted on 12/16/2006 6:04:36 PM PST by Brainhose

You, I and the other taxpaying citizens are spending millions of dollars looking for a crew of yuppies who knowingly put themselves in peril by climbing Mt Hood
Meanwhile an elderly couple died in a North Carolina swamp because no one could be bothered to search for them.
The family of the missing elderly had to hire private helicopters.
The US military (That you and I fellow suckers) are sending out search planes and 'Unmanned' drones.
I'm sure if those people who died in the swamp were Harvard professors or were a Gay married couple from Massachusetts, we'd be sending up another space shuttle with heat seeking Gaydar to locate them.
The first thing that should be said to these Mt. Hood hikers is: "Will that Be Cash Or Check or SuckerCard?"
.Otherwise they will be excellent specimens for scientists to examine like that 5000 year old "Iceman" discovered in the Italian Alps.

Well...I think it probably helps to be young, female, blonde and attractive as well.

You, and all people that have a tendency to think like this, would have a coronary on the things your taxpayer dollars get wasted on! Think I'm kidding? Just take a look at the BS over Katrina...


Don't go supporting nanny state noise!

It has NOTHING to do with Missing climbers on Mt.Hood...he's trolling for hits on a thread he started. He even asks what can he do to get more hits/posts. Check out his posting history.

It's winter. They shouldn't be on Mt. Hood. But since they are, they weren't prepared. So they are not only stupid, they are selfish to do this to their families.

I only feel sorry for their families and that is the only reason why I hope they survive.

I don't get this comment about me. I don't care how many people look at a thread.
I was merely expressing an opinion that many people I've spoken with also feel.
You are free to disagree sir.
Have a good evening :)

It's not about you...did I ping you to the post? I ping the person I'm talking about normally. I was talking about the newby who is trying to disrupt your thread by talking about liberal bias in the "Times"

Sorry if you misunderstood.

Actually, December IS the month to climb Mt. Hood. Easier to climb in snow than on ice and rock. Freak storms happen. I'm pretty sure the feds still bill for rescues.

I've climbed hills in the summer up in Oregon and it snowed... heavily... If you ain't prepared in December you are a dumb ass.
