You have a problem with people under 18? We have a 15-year old MOD here who is cool, I'd love for you to mention "grade-school and age" to him..
My point is you came into this thread to trash it, saying it has no business here. You think people care about your biking JUNK? Do something for real men. Holla(yup, that's street talk) at me when you start playing football or basketball..
So quick to respond yet so slow to think.
First off, I only trashed the thread itself because it was posted in the 'Fins forum where it clearly did not belong thus, it deserved a nice thrashing.
Second, I would/have survived many a day in some pretty hellish neighborhoods and I did so both as an average, everyday citizen and as a cop so I'm pretty sure my "survival" would not be a problem.
Next, you also seem to have failed to understand the nature of this forum in which we are currently posting (although it is new and I'm quite sure it will take most some time to understand the dynamic herein.) By it's very nature it invites smack. Why you ask? Because, unlike the 'Fins forum where we all (or the vast majority of us at least) have the common ground of the Dolphins upon which we can all stand, there is no such common ground in this forum. Here we all have different teams, different ideas as to who's the best, and different opinions as to which sports do and do not suck. You, apparently, have not picked up on this dynamic yet so consider this a clue.
Also, I never said anything about individuals in high school, I made a grammar school comment; to most there's quite a difference. I'm sure Miguel (since that's the moderator in question here) will likely not feel personally offended by the grammar school comment; it was neither directly nor indirectly targeted towards him or his age group. Since you seemed to miss the point, it was a slam directed to you commenting on the level of smack you seemed (or seem) to be running. At that point I had no idea as to whether you were 17 (which you apparently are) or 70 and, for the purpose of that bit of smack, it mattered not.
Finally, I'm beginning to think you have some weird obsession with cyclists here that you might want to get help for. I've never tried to make a case for cycling (mountain or road) but apparently you feel a need to attack it every chance you get. What happened did your mom run you over with a bike when you were little or something of that nature? Also, as far as playing a "real man's" I was a linebacker in HS and was recruited out of the Army to play for a couple of DIII schools but didn't. I also regularly play basketball, lift weight 6 days a week, run, surf, snowboard, scuba dive, and practice martial arts so give me a "holla" when you think you can hang son. Believe me, I could care less whether people care about cycling or not, it's what I love to do and I don't feel the need to convince others of its merits.
In closing, your sorry smack could use some serious refinement. You can consider this a lesson if you wish as I've obviously schooled you (you like that, there's some "street" for you.) Just remember, when all else fails...SIT THERE!!!
