Even you! *gasp*


Oh, don't I know it...some of the stuff I thought was funny when I was
younger is some of the dumbest stuff (many embarassing stories,
too)....and I'm sure I'll think the same thing when I'm your age



Nice try though



Hypocrite might not have been the best word...I was saying, if you were
so offended by people assuming you were something bad (immature,
selfish, rude, anything) just because you were young, isn't it a little
unfair to do the same thing? I know people mature as they age, and I
know I'm not done maturing....but if you group all the young people on
the forums together in one group, you do the same thing.

You speak as if we're mature now.

You make a good point. And not every young person who saw this thread
responded with anger, I'm sure. I'd bet most just moved on. I doubt
it made any young people really eager to help him out, however. If he
hadn't used name calling he would have probably been alright.

So do you. It certainly didn't make me want to help him. But notice
how I didn't immediately jump don his throat cussing.

Just in case you didn't read my post in another thread about "Jones
Law". You really think this guy's for real? Why then, I ask you,
would this supposedly mature, concerned adult have the following
acronym (Very obvious) at the end of one of his recent reply posts?:
TYUASIUYFA Do you know what he is saying here? "*T*ake *Y*our
*U*nicycle *A*nd *S*tick *I*t *U*p *Y*our *F*U####g *A*## If the guy
*is* for real, then he has lost ALL credibility (If he had any to start
with!) with that kind of juvenile vulgarity. He certainly does not get
my respect.

_Anyone_ who gives *any* credence to "jones law" (real deal or not)
should seriously think twice after reading that!

Regardless of his tactics he still makes a valid point in his initial
post.

I've seen some of Hitlers drawings and must say that they could easily
be mistaken for photographs of the era.

Frank,
I hope you talk to these kids next time you see them riding around;
maybe introduce yourself and explain your position. I'm willing to bet
that they will understand and discontinue riding there. I stopped
riding in my schools parking lot after a security guard explained to me
that it was considered a bicycle, and bikes weren't allowed on campus.
I wasn't doing any damage, just riding in circles, showing people that
it's not just for clowns.

I'm glad to see that you've been moved by what some people have said
and are considering giving these punks a second chance. It's good,
also, to know that you can relate to some of these kids that are
doing/might have to do time for their mistakes (and after realizing
that b&e meant breaking and entering, it's even more respectable that
you can look back and see the mistakes you've made). You know what
jail/detention centers are like, and I'm sure you don't want to have to
put anybody there that you don't have to (you even stated that calling
the cops would be bad for your image).

No hard feelings, and I'll be sure to think twice about riding in
places other than trails, playgrounds, and my neighborhood.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention - we don't want this sport to
be considered that of hooligans'.
