Beat down on the NS

lol...hilarious! One of my favorite all time movies.

And, don't know how true it is but rumor has it that the Hawaiians are trying to secede from the United States because of this whole thing.

On a side note, when I was in Hawaii last year....I as well had nothing but great times. I was blessed to visit Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Lanai. Never once had an issue. I don't know if Hawaii can secede or not. But, it sucks they are trying to accomplish this.

I'm sure that something like this would be the impetus for a state to secede. Just like the Arab Spring, the Rothman/Barron brawl will have the locals protesting in the streets. That is the dumbest thing I have ever read on the internet.

It is dumb..but, it's true they are trying. Pretty funny actually.

There has been a core group of Hawaiians trying to secede since they became a state. I was a marine grunt stationed at Kaneohe(early 90's) and every year on the day they lost their independence we were warned not to leave base, and every year it seemed like some local would pull down the American flag at some place like the statehouse and some hardcore jarhead would be there trying to raise it back up leading to some kind of physical altercation.

If you ever watch international competitions you'll notice there is a team USA and a team Hawaii.

France should stop hating and should thank us because they dont have to speak German now. And the islanders should thank us since they dont have to speak Japanese. I'm sure we take better care of them than anyone else. All of the guys were are speaking of dont even have hawaiian roots, so who cares. I dont care if your last name is irons, rothman, obrien or whatever. they are all the same as us and need to stop fronting then. Cause if mainlanders arent welcome, all those pro surfing silver spooners should pack up and head home.

Interesting.....Is this the reason they have their own flag?

You're not serious, are you?...

hawaii looked into the implications of succession a long time ago and gave it up when it became evident they would loose all federal benefits(unemployment/foodstamps). They realized they couldnt get by on their own and would have to pawn their island to survive. the north shore mentality is just as far from reality as possible. Im sure there are really nice people there but they live in a bubble. good place to visit but you wouldnt want to live there. I should know i live on a island.

Strange that they took every hawaian's prize money except John John (but that i can understand... but Dusty Payne too weird stuff

[Scobeyville]

I might be stoopid but, it looks like only guys that are in the top 34 get paid.
53 (entries) - 19 ($0 prize money awards) = 34...

PS - this **** is so entertaining. I hope there's a video of Eddie ripping through his shirt and turning green, right before he beats up the entire billabong staff.
