God dammit! I saw this documentary about the A.T. in late april on a german TV channel. And since then this crap is chasing me every day. Now I watched it again online... And guess what? The urge to come over to the USA and hike this god damn thing is bigger than anytime before!

Why do I have to be imprisoned in this life? Every morning I wake up, go to work and fall asleep in the evening. Every day the same thing. I want to be on the trail NOW! Damn! NOW NOW NOW!!!! I'm so tired of waiting till next spring!

AAAHHH!

To the OP, I hope you get over to America and get to hike the entire AT. I did a lot of hiking in the German Alps and spent 6 1/2 years living in Germany in the US Air Force. If you can't get to America, there's plenty of beauty in Germany, Switzerland, Austria to explore. Blessings!

el.com, I know you did this just to get the "crazy americans" riled up about their precious freedom of speech and seperation of religion crap:DFrom this I deduce:

Believers are "crazy americans"
Believers' religion is "crap"
Non-believers are not "crazy americans"

Actually it's not believers who are for "separation" but non-believers. Example: we've tried repeatedly to get religion to not be a taboo subject here on WB but it keeps getting sensored. The result is people are free to insult God/Jesus but believers are not permitted to defend Him.
Hmmm . . . that's a real level playing field isn't it? :rolleyes:

First off, please don't take this as confrontational.

I'm not sure really how to reconcile what seem to be the two differing personalities I see in you.

On the one hand, I sized you up to be possibly a Scout Leader, former Scout or maybe just the parent of a Scout based on your compliment you paid me on my essay. Someone who understands integrity, honor and expects to be treated the same way they treat others, with dignity and respect.

Now, you are calling Summit (and me since I am a Believer in Jesus Christ and oft times carry a Bible) a "bible thumping pansy" which leads me to believe perhaps you are an intolerant person who chooses to belittle and berate those who believe differently than you.

Believe what you want to believe, but please do not condemn me and call me names for believing what I believe. For what it's worth, I've personally had way too much "good" happen in my life to believe otherwise. I can't imagine there is anyone else on this Earth any less deserving of God's blessing than me, yet I am "richer" than any man I know. I barely have a dime to my name, but I am rich beyond words.

Doesn't everyone realize el.com hijacked his his own attempt at a thread with the opening post? I'm still hopeful he has more success on the A.T. than with starting threads, but I'm not as firm in my resolve as I was earlier when he first began to post.

Hahaha, I do have an "Internet problem" this weekend... I've literally been at my desk for 38 hours now babysitting a server migration. I've logged more hours on WB since 7:00am Friday than I did all last year.

That being said, there are a few "hot button" words, phrases and behaviors that get in my craw and this thread kinda hit them all. Again, I wasn't trying to be confrontational with Superman, just explaining that I didn't take kindly to being called a pansy. I figured a PM was the best way to handle it but he thought differently.

Hopefully for those that don't like me this server migration will finish and I will once again become a casual WBer.

"Why do I have to be imprisoned in this life?" Maybe because your asking God to damn it. Maybe damning something really has an effect....just the opposite of blessing someone.

Your reposting it isn't any different. Drop the subject and stop casting stones.Once it's posted it's posted. :confused: I'm not casting stones. The term in modern day means quick to criticize. I think it very proper to criticize unacceptable behavior. Posting a private message without the person's consent is completely unacceptable. It may not be a rule on WB but it should be. Under the circumstances, I guess we better beware of what we send to someone in a PM? :mad:

Not a bad idea and consider setting up a contacts list. Send PMs you don't wish to be made public only to those you trust.
