SB my braw, just because I engage in discourse with someone here doesn't mean I hate them or even dislike them. I do my best not to judge or label. It's clear that to the few posters that only want to invite a riot with me that I now simply ignore all their attempts at flaming. rcarter happens to be of particular entertainment due to his zig-zag high-low moods in the course of the same day like when he had a rough commute to work then copes through the highly effective therapeutic outlet of posting a poll to vote me off the island and also posted a stabbing threat that his split-personality deleted quickly. Then he pulls The Clash move with "should I stay or should I go" but to a less meaningful tune to his life than that of SUP. rcarter, EC won't like you because you have passion. I've thought that EC is a troll as well, but figured my statements were productive to not just the whole Masshole debate, but also North-South, Jerz or bust, or my **** vs your ****. Too much labeling here and mf'ers need to start assessing people's words and actions separately from them as a core person. Lastly... FREE SELDOM (Oh wait...that was just a board malfunction solved long ago) Charge on buggahs! EmassholeSpicoli
Couple more things before I fulfill those passionate activities this evening as previously mentioned: 1) While they dehumanized the native Americans (inexcusable), the Pilgrims' primary intention was to get a better life than the oppression they were being put into. They wanted a better life. As did the Irish. And Jewish. And Italians, Greeks, Ports, et al. Why did you come to MA? Was it for a better life in some way? I'd think so. 2) Size is variable in worth to a fight. Not excluding it, but it's not a sure bet and can sometimes be a disadvantage to the bigger one. BJ fought up a weight class many times with no hesitation or difficulty. When did I bring up your size? And what's up with comparing you and BJ in a matchup? I never even talked about you as an athlete or fighter so what's the point? I'll take a guy with passion that's 5'3 140lb soaking wet at my back in a tough time over a passionless dude the size of a NCAA 1-AA tight end. Not saying you lack it, as your ignorant statements have some persistent and those may at least represent sparks of passion. But you're also remarking of mine as if it's yet another thing you don't understand and therefore talk smack about as you fear it's got something you don't have a counter for.
Hey bro I'm the first to admit when I am wrong and you are correct about my past indiscretion and I apologize for them. I must say your posts of late have been nice to read (thanks for making them shorter for rednecks like me who only made the 3rd grade and you seem to really be progressing in your surfing. I wish no ill will and hope you keep the stoke you have always had! Oh and also The Clash rocks!!!!
HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!! Why should we accept your Hawaiian princess \ any more than you accept us Haole's. Love and Aloha come around equal. Welcome to the mainland! Just be careful your fun loving attitude doesn't get you shot!
Another runaway thread. Anyway, it's a big geographic and cultural change going from HI to MA. Be friendly, open minded, respectful, and give folks the benefit of the doubt. Don't be judgmental. You're too new to the area. Don't fight things and people because they're different than what you're used to. You'll just make yourself miserable. Ya gotta go with the flow. I haven't been everywhere (like the Johnny Cash song), but I did move around a bit when I was a kid, while in college, and later while in the Navy.
Never forget that it was people from the North East of the United States who stole Hawaii, condemned her people to a life of poverty and tried to eradicate the practice of surfing from the earth.
Since we are in the habit of blanket statement, why don't you just come out and say: "The white man tried to keep Duke down." Damn white people and their white tendencies.
That's not what I said not what I was implying, instead I was suggesting that perhaps you should show gratitude to your Hawaiian visitor for what his culture gave you and realize that your culture, which has always imposed itself on his, has been terrible for him and his people. Instead, you became antagonistic and combative. That seems to always be your first reaction.
Ya brah, the respective progress works of my surfing and your mental health are progress works that seem to both be moving along well. It's gone flat so I've gone searching for waves. Hopefully we get some level of surf here early to mid week because if I go to Trestles in a week when it's got great conditions (and it's supposed to) and I haven't been on a semi-legit wave in two weeks it's gonna be a rough first day. I'll still be stoked no matter what!! Glad you've enjoyed the posts lately. I've had a ton going on and the board got a little dis interesting there for a bit so I dropped in less often. Writing those damn novels takes time and I'm sure 95% of the words don't do anything but muddle the post 95% of the time. Today I had time to kill on a flight and this guy needed an adjustment and labels/stereotypes/ethnocentrism are things I've just had enough of overall. You and Billy Madison share the same opinion about the 4th grade being real hard but you really missed out if you stopped going after the 3rd. No snak paks, no boners for hot teachers, no incontinence with widespread peer approval. Not sure if you can go back now though. It'd be creepy and there's probably laws against it but you can give it a try. We'd all be pulling for you.
Hey JC, Can't really take you seriously with the name and avatar, so please forgive me. I'm a practicing Catholic so I'm not sure if I should even be ok with conversing with you. To your post, I was throwing out some simple SI humor that's quite typical of this forum. The whole mess of "this vs. that" is needing some parody or else you'd go mad reading those threads here. Listen though, I'll be a good guy and go say 3 Novenas. Is that ample penance? Concerning my "first reaction", did you not see the man who campaigned for my forum expulsion a while back tell me he's enjoyed my posts recently? If that's not a barometer reading on my forum reception, I don't know what is. Brah pledged to come at me with a Rusty Knife (3" x 7/8" x 1/32", volume unknown!) now he's campaining Vote Spicoli! I've turned down the volume of all my posts for a while now and they're pretty objective or light-hearted now. I don't even respond to my greatest persecutors anymore and befriended several of the former ones. Sound familiar with the cheek-turning? Onto the idealization of the Hawaiian culture, you clearly didn't read my posts above that in no way persecuted his culture, in fact I gave a thorough treatment to the acknowledgement of all our societal downfalls the settlers and Union had, and was also defending not just Mass but the need for non-judgmentalism by all. I'm confident you'll see where I'm coming from. I'm 33, you lived to 33. We both have had our share of persecution. The list goes on. Let's call it a day and I'll look forward to talking to the real you in Church tomorrow. Faithfully, EmassholeSpicoli Born Sinner
So your faith is strong enough that you have no qualms about bragging about your sexual conquests outside of marriage, your abilities to inflict pain upon others and the pride you take in even the smallest of personal accomplishments, but you have doubts about responding to a poster who suggests to you that being more forgiving and less antagonistic to a strange newcomer and to remember that the culture that you were defending did everything it could to destroy his, because that posters name might be sacrilegious? If it helps, give it a Spanish inflection like Hey Zeus. The way you defend "the need for non-judgementalism" seems awfully akin to how the United States defends Democracy and how the Catholic churh used to spread the faith: "You're paddling into "our lineup" and squawking upon not getting immediate respect while giving none yourself. How would you react to someone doing the same back at your break in the motherland? You'd sick Da Hui on them. So pipe down when the Winter Hill Gang gets up in your grill and falses you" "Forget the bus and coffee, I'll one up that and expedite the extradition by picking up the tab on a one-way for you back to HNL and even give you a free beer coupon." "Yeah, brah. I'll show him around. We will forgo the surf breaks since there's way more to see in a tour starting in New Bedford then going to Fall River, Taunton, Chelsea, Revere, Lynn, Lawrence, Lowell, continuing down 495 through Worcester to heckle all the Massholes in Section 8 housing before shotting over to WMass via the Pike to Pittsfield then veering finally to 91 for hotbeds such as Springfield, Chicopee, Greenfield, then finally getting his stoke on by charging the standing wave in the Connecticut River in Holyoke where I will leave him to assimilate with the locals there. While only 2 murders last year in a population of a mere 39k, it scored a stellar 11.35 violent crimes per 1,000 residents putting it in the Top 5. Let's see what he comes out looking like after trying to commandeer that "lineup" that is only found in the local precinct." No, you pretty much came off like a jerk from the get go and are now trying to spin it so that you can claim a moral high ground, which you really don't have. Please tell me why I'm wrong, you have an answer for everything.
Your followers have persecuted others, started wars, and have generally been jerks to outsiders for 2000 years. Might want to think about that before laying down judgement on mr spicoli.
Dudes, waiting on Cadbury, my driver. But I popped on here and can't read this now........ But some dude is calling himself, Jesus and puts a Rob Machado picture? Rob Machado is a dork who got some undeserved zen guru status. Yes, he shreds. That's not my point. Rob Machado isn't anything like Jesus. He's just a created image designed to sell clothes. Yeah, he's the 1990's - 2000's version of Gerry Lopez or something......a feral wanderer.........right............He wanders alright, where ever there's a bank to cash his checks. He's another tard peopel have called, "intelligent." Just like Kelly.
Did someone say "Tendencies"?...... I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!! INSTITUTION!!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CRAZY!!! INSTITUTION!!! YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!
The majority of organized Christian churches have seemed to have lost sight of the core precepts of Christianity, which were to turn the other cheek, forgive your transgressors and help others in need. Instead they often appear to be vehicles for agrandizement of individuals seeking personal agrandizement. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch, but does that mean that we shouldn't eat apples?
Ok brahs, I think this thread's laid itself to rest. If EC is not a troll his mindset will be his demise as he's gonna run into the wrong cat with his catpiss attitude. But maybe he's having difficulty understanding us up here because our words are too big. JC swoops in from above and tries to defend the ignorant by using "agrandizement" when it's got 2 G's in its correct spelling. If you're using a word like that, you best be spelling it correctly Mike Tyson. He used it twice in the same sentence and misspelled it wrong both times. In the earlier post, he talks about the "Catholic churh". He even edited his post and didn't fix spelling. 0 for 2 JC! So the iPhone Infinity doesn't have spell check? I'm supposed to have an organized debate with one dude who's unwilling to learn to read and another who's unwilling to read a thesaurus? C'MON PEOPLE!! In a thread with a dude posing as The Lord, I'm wary even to have use the word "laid", and I'm definitely not about to discuss taking down the girls of the PAC10 with him. Maybe on a Monday between 11:39am and 11:43am but not on the Sabbath. Watch out SUP, EC is about to head your way since he's got a stiff for the EC but only understands Florida-speak. Enough of these street KOOKS!! I'm ready for some football.
so your only argument is spelling? weak man. kook of the year right here. im sorry kook of the last 8 months right here. by the way emasshole, before you start grammar policing this forum you better make sure your hands are clean BRADDAH!!!!!!! i believe the word youre looking for is "campaigning."
Man, you don't pick a verbal/written scrap with Spicoli. You'll lose. Everytime. Especially, if you're from Hawaii. Shame on youse who suck up to a "Hawaiin." One of you Rhode Island guys was trying to suck up. " Man, the good surfers around here.... we fly to 'the islands'...... we may even know some of your peeps." Yeah, hey man, why don't you name drop a few dudes you saw on the beach, brah. Totally cool by association. "Yeah man, I went to 'The Islands' last month." Wow, I feel like I'm in a Californian surf shop back in the 1950's listening to that garbage. Oh good lord, sorry Jesus, I can't stand when people suck up to Hawaiins. Sounds like a case of Sid Abruzzi disease. This isn't the 1970's either. You don't have to arse kiss Hawaiins because Hawaii isn't the surfing Mecca it once was. It's just not as cool as it used to be. Yankee, I'll go to Baja with you. I'm expendable so I'm not afeard of banditos. And by the way, I'll be saying this on every thread today, it was sooooo much better this morrow than I expected. Solid 3 foot drainers up and down the beach. Northwest winds baby, that's friggin offshore here you North Jersey bastards....F you and your SW winds........
