Skaters
Definitive proof that 99% of skaters are self centred little idiots who cannot appreciate that skating is not, despite what their resident hero skater says, the only true skill.
Yes, that is my real belief. And if you are a skater (or anyone else) and wish to argue the point then my email is nick@tn-uk.net you can now comment directly!
Now, enjoy a transcript from a chat of mine which expresses everything very nicely. Lines from other people have been removed at their request.
jacksonj04: so you can ride a plank of wood with wheels, acting like a billboard without realising it, slide down a handrail and not fall off? whoop-di fucking doo
jacksonj04: other people may want to use aforementioned handrail without an entire bar of skate wax on it
jacksonj04: there are skateparks FOR THAT REASON
jacksonj04: i have nothing against the style of clothes
jacksonj04: well, nothing inherently
jacksonj04: it’s those who will only wear brand X
jacksonj04: and skate if the deck has Brand X all over it
jacksonj04: i’m like YOU’RE A FUCKING BILLBOARD!!!!
jacksonj04: and the response? “Whatever cunt, Brand X rules and Designer Y is so hardcore it’s untrue. Now fuck of while I listen to Identical Music Z and do an uber semi flip grind core pipe waxless roll trick thing”
jacksonj04: the people are fine
jacksonj04: just when they get in groups to discuss Macbeth wear or something similar
jacksonj04: or buying the latest wheels
jacksonj04: “What’s wrong with your old ones?”
jacksonj04: “The design isn’t the new one”
jacksonj04: no, most skaters I am fine with
jacksonj04: it’s the culture
jacksonj04: i can rant about any culture
jacksonj04: where people think they’re being unique and ‘not mainstream’ but in reality they’re all identical
Your right to disagree is hereby not taken away. Try take away my right to disagree with you and I’ll own your ass.

I must admit, I doubted anyone would have the balls to reply in a public arena but it seems we have a taker.

Congratulations on being able to actually use email, it’s a good job that addresses aren’t case sensitive. After extensive translation of your fluent txtesq into English, it seems that the crux of your argument is that people are free to be what they want. You then go on to say that I should lay off skaters but you’re fine with me attacking townies.
Sorry, did you have a problem? Next time accept that sometimes you’re on the receiving end. Yes, I get insulted for what I wear but at least I have the decency to back up my own insults with a balanced argument.
Finally, if you’re going to associate yourself with a group then be prepared to take the flak from the assholes. I would say that I am a geek, I’m prepared to deal with people dropping me into the ‘lanky, never had a girlfriend, shy and a Star-Trek fan’ category. It’s wrong, but I deal with it.
