Bad attitudes here

[bassplayrguy]

When I started in this forum I thought the people in here were of a stick together attitude. However after reading alot of the posts and threads on the occupy broadripple topic I can't believe how many people in here just criticize and degrade others and their ideas. It amazes me how some people in here "talk" about being proud to be Americans and all but then someone tries to do something, anything, to get a good message out and everybody torches the guy. Is it the best way to carry out the message? Maybe not, but what the hell are you doing to help? Armchair quarterbacking and saying how it could be done different and better? Then get off your ass and help make it better. Negative comments should be kept to yourself. Be part of the solution or be part of the problem. IMHO.

Negative comments should be kept to yourself.

Your clothes should never be wrinkled with this level of irony.

The name says it all. I won't be a part of anything that is named "Occupy what the eff ever". Period.

Most people on here will not attend ANY open carry event. I have seen a few people talk about organizing an OC event and all of a sudden everyone is working that weekend or are out of town or blah blah blah. They are only concerened when it affects them or their rights directly.

I appreciate your opinion on this. But (no offense intended) you've fallen into the same trap as those that you are compaining about. I haven't been following the thread that you're refering to, but you're pretty much "torched" a whole segment of this forum's population here (and "everybody" hasn't torched the guy your talking about). I don't know ... maybe those you're railing against deserve it, but I don't see how this post will change anything or help anything. You see how easy it is to fall into the trap of negativity? But I support your right to b***h.
Anyhow, hang with us bro. I'm new here, but it's the best place like it out there.

Now lets talk about guns.

I said some people on here. I am not trying to be negative at all. I am all for educating and having events. This guy isn't the best spokesman, I get that and I agree. I don't agree with doing nothing.

Sorry to hear that happened. But I understand the moderator's position. I just went ahead and became a supporter. It's a good forum.

The 50 post thing doesn't sound like much, but it is an obstacle if you have a particular classified that your interested in. I bet if you hang around and become an "old timer" someday, you'll understand how they may feel about us "newbies." One things for sure, I've been around the block a time or two and I'm definitely no "newbie." But the moderators and other members have no way of knowing that. It reminds me of the military. Just follow the rules, jump through the hoops and one day you'll be the sarg in charge.

I agree, I know that my profession (at times) is not the most popular. I bust my can each day. But what we all have in common is the love for guns and the desire to keep them.

Stay safe, Lonnie

Can't we all just get along.

Too late.

How thought provoking!

I spent 26 years "helping" and I can't find the words to express how happy I am I never had to deal with a "solution" like this.

 

[bassplayrguy]

I never said this was the solution. My only point is that if you choose to do nothing then you should choose to say nothing.

Everyone is tough and a hard """ on the Internet.

Call it ego boosting, or ePeen or whatever. I've said it on Xbox live, and I'll say it here. Anonymity breeds a holes, and the Internet is a fertile field

And now bacon.

 

[Yup!]

Im losing count, is this the 3rd or 4th Occupy Broad Ripple Thread....

Can someone send this guy a big double bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. It will make him smile for a minute.
