In my humble opinion anything made by Washington state inmates at a penal facility aptly called "DirtBag" is not only wrong, but extremely unethical.

In reply to: In my humble opinion anything made by Washington state inmates at a penal facility aptly called "DirtBag" is not only wrong, but extremely unethical. These guys pay about $1.13 an hour in labor "slave labor...worse than a sweat shop because they can't leave. It's cell time or slave time" and then instead of passing the savings on to us, they increase prices and try to sell us stuff by using reminiscent words. I would like to live next to Microsoft big wigs too but not at the expense of the underprivlidged. Omega Pacific is the north american equivilent of evil!!!!!!!!! Don't let them try and convince you that they are giving back to the state by earning inmates $$ and teaching them a skill. This company needs to go down and even if we are all broke we should boycot these f&%#ers!!!
You sir, are an idiot.
To the original poster, those are good draws. They'll get the job done.

I know his rating.... Because you claim to be from Canada and I like Allen Thick I will accept this as a simple misunderstanding!

artyslady, i appologize that this thread got so high jacked. to be honest, you bought some of the cheapest draws out there and they are plenty safe. no company is going to get away with selling shoddy gear for long and OP's been around for a while. there are better, lighter, more pretty draws out there but if you're just starting you probably won't notice the difference. the one thing i don't get is why you asked for advice after you bought them... hope this helped somehow

Ask your "partner" what the lotions are for..... I imagine that with some coaxing "and Kahlua" your mom might be willing to tell you a bit about it as well! These message boards are all the same. You insight something with a heartfelt comment then every keyboard jockey who knows how to tie a figure eight and a water knot starts telling you how it is and that you are dumb. Why don't you do some pushups or go masterbate in the second bathroom?

if they're all the same then why do you just stop bugging everyone else. i think the community would be better that way. there are people out there that haven't been climbing as you and need a little advice. why does everyone on this site insist on eat nOObs alive?

I can't comment on the original posters question. Sorry. I'd like to add this, thoug.
Mec sells draws by lucky made in spain. 10CDN. i don't know if you people in the states can order them, but that is dirt dirt cheap. I'm a noob, so i have no idea how they compare.
Cheers
Brent

In reply to: In reply to: Man I wish I could rate posts today :? Gotcha covered. :wink:
Ditto.
In reply to: Did you know that BD has their harnesses made in the Phillipines by 10-15 year olds? Look inside the swami on your momentum harness and tell me I am wrong. They fired all of their sewing people "many with families that had worked there for years" and went overseas. A company of climbers? I don't know many 10-15 year old phillipino slave laborers who climb....do you?
In reply to: In my humble opinion anything made by Washington state inmates at a penal facility aptly called "DirtBag" is not only wrong, but extremely unethical. These guys pay about $1.13 an hour in labor "slave labor...worse than a sweat shop because they can't leave.

I would like to live next to Microsoft big wigs too but not at the expense of the underprivlidged.
Newsflash lotion, convicted felons do not equal poor Phillipinos.

Judging by the moustache you are exibiting in your profile picture you are no stranger to the art of sexual predation.

this topic has been covered again and again. This has got to be a troll. it takes 5 minutes of looking at OP's site:
http://www.omegapac.com/
To find:
http://www.omegapac.com/op_climbing_about.html
Which states:
"Omega Pacific announces relocation, end of inmate labor program."
as well as:
“Frankly, we’d grown weary of having so many misinformed and uneducated people try to denigrate us for our involvement in this program. Having to repeatedly defend our position was beginning to take its toll on our overall efficiency.”
and:
“it’s really too bad, to tell you the truth. This program is the single-most effective form of prison rehabilitation in the history of the United States prison system. A few short-sighted individuals never understood that and it’s now being discarded. Society is the real victim in this ruling.”
but good luck on remaining an idiot.

Nick,
Thanks for your blessing. I guess that if we just accept that Nazis are no longer rounding up Jews and moving them in trains to their ultimate demise than it is ok to hang out with them. I can't wait to hang out with the registered sex offenders in my town because they used to molestr kids.

In reply to: Judging by the moustache you are exibiting in your profile picture you are no stranger to the art of sexual predation. Your obvious knowledge of felonious acts and the rehibilitation that ultimately follows has really turned me around on this one. I guess that beating up homosexuals and date raping girls is just one of the active pursuits to participate in in Nebraska! Thanks for your post. Maybe I will drop you a line next time I am up watching Colorado serving a football b---- slapping!
Awesome!!! I point out a descrepency in your line of thinking and you respond with the quote above. You really are a retard aren't you?!

They are good draws, just a bit heavier than most. They will do fine.
