Yeah, Waco Paco , well... that's just
like... your opinion man. Matthew Hennig wrote: snip Look at the facts here. Snowboarders are more likely to be involved with drugs than the average person.

And then the fact that I can't enjoy the slopes in peace because the snow boarders start blaring their "X-treme" music, its just wrong. I think JR raised some valid points here and trying to ignore them like you are trying to do won't make them go away. MH Denver, CO Where we always walk a mile high. Your self righteousness makes me wanna puke. Trying to pass off as superior isn't going to solve any problem. Maybe you should try being constructive as oppose to being destructive. Why don't you offer your ideas on where these problems stem from. Wait, you already did. You loosely pinned it on snowboarders. Let me make some similar accusations. Skiers are all pricks, they don't do drugs but like to drink irresponsibly, especially apres ski. All skiers are self righteous. Skiers like to point all problems at snowboarders. Skiers can't handle powder. WOW, that was easy!! I never thought that it was so easy just making generalizations that may or may not hold up to even half of all skiers! I think I will use this approach more often to argue my points. (I hope you understand that this whole paragraph was sarcastic). JR did bring up some valid points that there are assholes on the hill, but to pin it on snowboarders is low, below the belt low. Like you said, trying to ignore the facts won't make these problems go away, BUT trying to pass the blame on some other group won't either. stu I agree stu. I didn' t meen to inseminate that all snowboarders were bad people I just think that if you tried to fit in a little better to civilized society instead of playing to be the outsidert than it would be easier for you "radical doods" to be accepted. I also don't understand why snowboarders get angry at me for pointing out how they are different when they try so hard to be different I just think that's funy!!! And MH needs to get off his high horse cause I'm purdy sure I read in Bibel that self-righteousness is a sin. JR Norman, OK

That's "insinuate" JR, not inseminate; insemination has to do with,
ahem, something else. If one focuses on the jerks, it's not hard to have them fill your field of vision. The punks will figure it out, or not. Most of them, if you can get them one on one, are largely lost & lonely, and are simply looking for a look. White suburbanites w/the money to buy gear & lift tickets trying to go hip hop is pathetic, that's all. Teenagers have been trying to be "different" for about, oh, 2000 years. Having folks get upset w/them is all they're trying to accomplish; looks like they're succeeding. Personally, I'll take the punks over the excessively rich clowns I've run into @ the plush joints. BTW; I'm 51 years old, been boarding for 9 years, & have yet to find a mountain that wasn't big enough for everyone. My solution to punk noise is an iPod turned up to maximum volume w/ Mozart.

I have seen many skiers cut across other skiers and snowboarders and an equal amount of snowboarders doing the same. What does that mean? It means that type of equipment has no saying in that behaviour. No it doesn't - it just means that you need to start taking some more English classes. I mean, take that very first sentence - what the sweet **** does it mean?1! "Amount of snowboarders" you say?????? Snowboarders are not salt or sugar - you say "NUMBER of snowboarders!" And it's "has no say" not "has no saying in that beaviour." And it's spelt "behaviour" not "behavior." However, if you look at the age group you'll see that most of the inconsiderate are teenagers. I have been the victim of young skiers cutting across a merger zone because they were reckless. As a teenager I deeply resent your insinuations. Therefore it can be established that the equipment has little saying on behaviour but rather it is directly proportionate to demographic. As a famous rightwinger once said "There you go again!" "Directly proportionate to edmolgraphic?" Please translate....

I wish they could get haircuts and join society, because someday, they are going to run the country. Quite the troll you are. Why are you sitting in the lodge? You must be the typical skiier who can't manage to make mroe than 3 turns before stopping in the middle of the run to catch their breath and generally jerk around? Sorry John I've got a buzz cut and yes, I already run the country. The really scary ones are the ones with all of their "bling" and their ghetto-blasters who play their "groovy" music at an increased volume.I wouldn't turn up my Waylon Jennings CD's up and disturb other people on the slopes. Why do you people feel like you have the right to do so? This must be something new on those big mountains in Norman, OK. Boarders riding with ghetto boxes on their shoulders! Please, think about what I've said. I'm trying not to as you are either: a) a troll b) your teenage son posting from your account A check from deja shows your older id's as: And with the exception of this post and a very few others you never leave r.s.college.football Please go back there. And by the way.. for somebody who sure seems to know a real lot about strip clubs and which ones have drugs and nasty diseases, should you really be pontificating about boarders? So you seem to think it's a bad thing to do our best to save our country's brave Fighting Soldiers from fraud and/or disease? Why do you hate America? JR Norman, OK

"Mike M. Miskulin" wrote in message . 3.44... I grew up in Columbus. Live in Atlanta now, but still have occasion to return home and while I'm there I visit the clubs to relax a bit. The strip-clubs in South Columbus (off of Vistory Drive) tend to run to the sleazy and occasionally dangerous. Prostitution and drugs are commonly found in these establishments. The dancers and/or management will often times try to rip you off on buying drinks or dances. This happens more often in the Victory Drive clubs due to there proximity to the Army base. Bilking servicemen out of their hard- earned money has become a way of life in that area of the city. You can, however, occasionally get some sleazy performances for your money in this area. The best club in town is called The Platinum Club and is located off of the Manchester Expressway within sight of the airport. It is a totally nude club with a $5 cover after 7:00 P.M. (free before). Drinks average $4-$5 and beer $3 (domestic). Table dances are $5. So prices are reasonable. Lap dancing and touching are not allowed due to local ordinances/laws. It's a small place and the atmosphere and the girls are friendly. Girls looks range from average to very pretty. Chelsea, however, is a 5-2, 100 lb. knockout. Ask for her if you go there on a Friday or Saturday night. Debbie is very pretty, great dancer, and great company. You can't go wrong with her either. Another club in town is The Forum Club off of the Beallwood Connector. Haven't been there in some time but it used to be a decent establishment and you might want to check it out. Just one last warning about the South Columbus clubs: if you decide to go there guard your wallet carefully. It doesn't happen with great frequency, but don't ever let your guard down in that area. Enjoy... Dude, if this is your sig, you need to get a life. winnard

Well, stu, until I see differently from all the snowboarders that come to town, these generalizations are pretty much dead on. You ask for some constructive advice, well here's my advice Paco. Snowboarders need to stop using drugs. Period. Back in my day, I didn't need drugs to give me a lift, I got that by having clean fun. You notice skiiers and other mountain enthusaists don't feel the need to use drugs like snowboarders do. And you're right that skiiers can't handle powder. That's because skiiers aren't into drugs. They don't WANT powder. JR had valid points because if you look at it scientifically, the majority of the assholes are snowboarders. Look at the facts. MH Denver, CO Where we always walk a mile high.

The second sentence supports why he fears snowboarders. Therefore he is afraid of snowboarders because some snowboarders like to get in the way of normal skiers. He is making a judgement on all snowboarders based on a number of snowboarders he saw. I have seen many skiers cut across other skiers and snowboarders and an equal amount of snowboarders doing the same. What does that mean? It means that type of equipment has no saying in that behaviour. No it doesn't - it just means that you need to start taking some more English classes.

And it's "has no say" not "has no saying in that beaviour." And it's spelt "behaviour" not "behavior." So, you are agreeing with me its behaviour. Also amount is equally valid as number. Maybe if you broaden your horizons a little bit you'll know better. However, if you look at the age group you'll see that most of the inconsiderate are teenagers. I have been the victim of young skiers cutting across a merger zone because they were reckless. As a teenager I deeply resent your insinuations.

Therefore it can be established that the equipment has little saying on behaviour but rather it is directly proportionate to demographic. As a famous rightwinger once said "There you go again!" "Directly proportionate to edmolgraphic?" Please translate.... its demographic. let me rephrase as it does make little sense. What I tried to say is the equipment has nothing to do with it, but from a statistical point of view, it more closely resembles the actions of young adults more so than older people. By the way, maybe you need some english classes.

MH, its always easier to pin it on one thing isn't it. Like Terrorism, its Saddam Hussein. Like air pollution, its big nasty factories. You see, there are more to problems than just one cause. Most of the time there are many causes. By the way, I'd like to know what drug use contributes to the problems on the hill? Are snowboarders high as a kite while they snowboard? or are drugs making them violent and inconsiderate? Plus are you sure that skiers don't want powder? can you speak for all of them? (tell you the truth, untouched powder is the purest form of skiing or snowboarding because it is all natural)
