  1. ....Nope, not at all.  I'm simply stopping this person from promoting theirs.  If I was going to promote my agenda, I'd be leaving my own tracts on subjects near and dear to my own heart....

    You have half the picture. Suppression of other competing views is in and of itself the promotion of an agenda in two ways. First you have an agenda that views that the other persons agenda as something you don’t like and don’t want to see them express. Second you are in favor of one or more remaining agendas because by the removal of a specific viewpoint you are making the viewpoints you allow to remain more prominant.

     

    You don't have to pitch signs and leave tracts to promote your own agenda. You did it when you started this thread and I have no doubt you do it in many other ways.

    Great post, RK.

  2. How about using a CyberSkin Realistic Vagina as a cache container? If you staple the labia shut it should be pretty water resistant. Big enough inside for a logbook and a few cylindrical trade items.

     

    :mad:

    That's the most I've laughed all week!

    Thanks!

  3. Maybe Indo-European?  Does that include Slavic?  I think I'll shut up now.

    No need to shut up Sputnik! :D

    And yes (Balto)-Slavic langauges are Indo-European--so are Germanic, Romance, Greek and a few other in Europe. But the Indo part of Indo-european has stuff like the languages of Pakistan, Iran, Tajikstan, Afghanistan, and most of India. The Tajiks probably aren't that into caching.

  4. The Romance langauge thing I find most interesting given the relative dearth of caches in such countries. It is fascinating that the Swedes, Finns, and Norwegians hide many more caches than do the Spaniards, French, and Italians--despite few lower numbers in terms of total population. Even the Hungarians have hidden more than France and they are not as affluent. Of course Swedish, Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, and especially English (not Finnish and Hungarian) are Germanic languages. The Estonians seem to be doing a lot as well.

    The big hole in my idea is French speaking areas.  I'm not sure why France doesn't have caches like the rest of Western Europe. 

    I too find the France thing interesting. If we're talking ethnicity (e.g. Icelandic) and not race ( e.g. caucasian), I'd suspect Germans are the tops. Germany is the most populous wealthy country in Europe and there are over 7000 caches there. I'd suppose most have been hidden by persons who are of German ethnicity, though there obviosuly are other ethnicities living in Germany (e.g. Turkish). The USA is problematic because of the lack, agruably, of a singular American ethnicity (African-Am, Irish-Am, Jewish-Am, Italian-Am, Cuban-Am, and so forth).

    This stuff is much like the things I do in my job, so now I'm itching to discover wealth per capita vs. cache density per capita for certain countries. The Dutch seem to hide a lot.

  6. (FYI, as far as I know, he has deleted these photos from his logs, leaving only the versions showing no GPSr.)

    Yeah, those are bad. I wondered why all those shots with the GPS are gone and just plain pictures were in their places. At least the owner of the Merci Boxcar did not give him credit in his found by chart. I mean the Nevada Boxcar was in a shed being restored as shown by someone who really found it. That one really burned me up since there are so very few of these Boxcars. I thought that this guy seems to really get enjoy faking LCs. But the master has posted a thread devoted to his rationale a couple of years ago.

     

    Keep the faith Frog!

    I'm not sure why this is such a big deal to anybody.  The GPS system is a government/military tool.  It's pretty common sense that they'd have a way to "turn it off".

     

    Quite possibly the first time I've ever agreed with anything posted by sd. He's 100% right.
