I am the very model of a Newsgroup personality.
I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality.
Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted, too,
On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross-posted to.
Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my snivelling,
And you're the one who pays the bill, downloading all my drivelling.
My enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming you,
For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you.
I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it).
I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it.
My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,
The gibberings of one who's at the limits of his sanity.
If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to;
If only Mom could find a circus freak-show she could sell me to;
If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery;
If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery;
If I survive to twenty, which is somewhat problematical;
If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical;
If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate;
Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate?
But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face,
It simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace.
To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity,
Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity.
I always have the last word; so, with uttermost finality,
That's all from me, the model of a Newsgroup personality.

Try living in a country where the average time served for Murder is approx 7yrs ,Where a man jailed for murder shoots & kills another man in jail and serves a total of 3 years and then plans to stand for election,where every terrorist gets 50 percent reduction in his sentence no matter how bad the crime,The Government/assembly is composed of {ex}terrorist that carry out every whim of the US & Irish governments,Where murderers get compensation for being the victims of these troubles,The Tourist take photos of murder scenes and go on the terrorist trail up the Falls road down the Shankill,where 300 dead police officers is an acceptable loss, it puts there being no skateparks or skateshops and having to buy everything mail order well down the list of problems and since we're quoting punk bands-Stiff Little Fingers 'Every Dollar a Bullet'or'Alternative Ulster'.
P.S Welcome to N.Ireland in Peace time.
Did I mention the RAIN.

I agree with the spirit of the death penalty but the real world practice of it is far from perfect. Innocent skateboarders are executed, and it is more expensive to kill a skateboarder than to incarcerate him for life. Death is often more merciful than prolonging a totured existence. If your wife and daughter are tortured, raped and killed and the skateboarder is caught in the act, what would you wish upon the perpetrator? Death, life in prison, or some fines and counselling? Do you want him to "rot" in prison? Aren't you then choosing a "fate worse than death" for this soul? Is that your idea of mercy or justice? More torture?
Aren't you glad I remained on the topic of skateboarding?

OJ demonstrated that if you have the lawyers and money it does not matter if you are white or black. I support the death penalty in general because there are people that just should not be living and do not want tax dollars spending $40K (or whatever it is up to now) on them each year.

I thought that this was a skateboarding website. What do any of these political posts have to do with skateboarding? I think there are many other places on the web for these types of discussions. They do NOT belong here. I've purposely omitted my email to avoid receiving political spam.

about the elections ....
So in the US it's the man who have the less votes who win ???????
Quite funny for the bigger <> of the world...
about death penalty i stand beside JON
It looks like from many studies that death penalty in US is really not fair ...
If you are white and kill somebody eles, mostly coloured people.... you might get away with a good lawyer ...
If you are black and accused of a murder ... then you'll most likely to get death penalty..
The point I'm making here is that if someone still stand with the death penalty he should be sure that the trials are fair .... really fair because once you're dead it is forever !!!!
Don't forget hugh if you were accused of murder even if you didn't do it ..... are you ready to face death penalty ?????
Remember ONCE YOU ARE DEAD IT'S FOREVER !!!!!!

Sounds like some of you guys are complaining about the politicians you're stuck choosing from. You should see the separatist-dictator-bastards (& bitches) we have running things.It's quite extreme , and they get away with it because most separatists CAN'T speak english. They know very little about the world JUST beyond their borders because they view only what is relevant to their corner of the world or, the more educated will view things more globally, but, again not JUST outside their hood. This of course is my opion (I work for and with these idiots cuz they need an english guy to talk on the phone when someone ,in some part, of the rest of the world calls.he he) So, what's this got to do with skateboarding ? I'm trying to move my family to VT.Nice hills nice people.

The republican candidates have all been well...a bit short on the rational department and long on moralizing and emotional stances. OK Dole was an amazing guy, strong spirit, but it boils down to who does the job. Contrast these guys with bill who was a performer, a strong compartmentalized thinker...yet all critics could think of was "he lied about sex"...he sorts peace deals in middle east..."he lied about sex"...he presides agreement in N Ireland..."he lied about sex"..the balkans..."he lied about sex"..and george has only been out of the US on a holiday.

Capital punishment? Are you feeling ok?
I personally have been convicted of criminal offences I had no part in. Should I have been executed, I would not have been able to lodge a successful appeal . James Hanratty, the last man to be hanged in England has since been show innocent and his conviction overturned. No wonder the CIA sponsored death squads all had such a great time in Guatemala in the 80s with that attitude. Bush clearly relishes his position as lord high executioner. Do you know the ratio of caucasians to others on death row? The death penalty as practised in America is clearly a racist tool and has been declared so by Amnesty International. By opening the way for others to go to your great country do you mean youwant Bush to open the Mexican border? Fat chance buddy...........

As an American male of voting age I will go on record as saying that I fully support our President Elect George W. Bush... as well as the death penalty.
God Bless America... God Bless Ronald Regan and God Bless George W. Bush.
If a recession is coming it isn't because of a new man sitting at the big desk... it's because of the mis-management of the previous administration (recessions don't happen over night)
If this causes the faint hearted to leave this great country... then so be it... it will only open the doors to more people who want to come here and work for their futures! Having people who want a free ride leave this great land is a blessing to those of us who have paid their way too long!
In the words of the infamous Sex Pistols... "God Shave the Queen"... H "the American and DAMN PROUD of it" R
Webmasters... please remove my post as soon as the one below it is gone!

All I have to say is that any country where that murdering little shit Bush gets even one vote deserves a recession What do they expect? The whole world has no confidence in that gibbering fool who cant even speak his own language and all those multinationals are upping sticks and heading for europe and asia as fast as they can. HA HA HA I LOVE IT. I know its not your fault but blame your neighbours...........

I see those Razor scooters as skateboards with training wheels.
Lot of kids, girls as well as boys, shout "that's tight!" sometimes in unison when they see my jumbo-cambered longboard, or my LED-riding Freebord. It ain't what they got.
As the fad dies those scooters will have negative style points and the kids will be of an age and skill level to graduate to a longboard.
Are we thinking positive?

Skateboarding and it popularity to the general masses goes in cycles. It's on a pretty good high right now. Chances of it going down in a recession is good, in general.
Longboarding falls into a slightly different catagory than general skating. Many of the people who are currently supporting longboard sales are older than their counterparts in the regular skating world. This usually means that there is more discretionary income available to spend on hobbies and toys.
Like Roger, I am not in a position to drop a wad on a fancy new car or a new motorhome or some other big ticket item. But I can pick up a board or two (expecially if it will help keep the small guys going through the coming lean times) Even though none of them will be the very cool looking powerboard!
It comes down to price range and the dollar to big dog ratio... If I wanted to have all the cool skating toys that I could ever have (and I do want that) it will end up being a few thousand dollars over the years. Not cheap, but with proper use of credit cards, do-able.
Much cheaper than putting together a race car. Even cheaper than getting all the cool mountain bike stuff (ask herbn about that one!)
So if we all commit to buying just one or two things every couple of months from SS and LS... everything should be okay! My rambling two cents... HR

Big ticket items like boats, luxury cars, and jewelry take hits in recessions, not low cost recreation products. I can't afford a nice car, but I sure can get a top of the line longboard, or two, or three…

General question, It seems that the U.S. might be heading towards a recession, and that (as history has shown) has been real tough on skate companies and the whole skateboarding community in general. Do you think most of these longboard companies will be able to weather the storm of a bad recession, since longboard companies are a dime a dozen now and the skate market seems "over saturated", or if we do hit a recession will half of these companies end up going under. Do ya think that a recession and "razor scooters" will force skateboarding to loose some of it's popularity and it's exceptence it has gained with the mainstream over the last 6 years? Just like to hear some of your general thoughts on this. Later Skater.
