: : : : : I think bmac is really Special Ed from Crank Yankers.
: : : : : Yea! I graduated from Duquesne! Yea! I have some brains and education!...Yea!
: : : : Crank Yankers huh? I guess we can see how your time is spent. Is it your goal to chase people away and try to stop any good from coming of anything? What a sad way to live! I feel sorry for you. This will be the last time that I respond to any negative posts because I really don't want to get sucked into doing the same thing that you are doing and thereby proving you right. I may be looking for a fight, but not with you - I want to fight with the people who limit or take away our rights. I want to bring the fight to the people who constently put this area down and say that it is dead. I don't think the message board can do all that, but I think the people in this area can. This is as good a place as any to try to start some things. I'd bet a lot of money on the fact that you have a lot of complaints. What do you do about them? Make yourself feel better by anonamously ripping on someone? Nice. That will solve everything. Perhaps you could be sent to Iraq as a diplomat and end the war. WHile your in the area, stop by and fix that little problem with Israel and Palastine. Then hurry back here and use your people skills to convince some industry to move to this area to give the economy here a little boost.
: : : : Anyhow, as I stated before, I'm willing to at least try to get some things started here with the hopes of seeing this area turn around some. If your with me that's great. If not, I have nothing more to say to you and I will just ignore you from this point. I won't stop coming here though. I kinda like it and I know it could be put to really good use.
: : : First off, the Crank Yankers comment wasn't mine. It is a pretty good one though. Dead on.
: : : If getting razzed on this board stops you from doing good, you must not have had any intention on doing it in the first place.
: : : If you really want to do some good about litter...GO PICK SOME UP. It's that simple.
: : : Oh, I forgot, you have you day-gree from Doo-kisney, so you think that you should be the one to "head up" the project, rather than actually doing the work.
: : :
: : : Just as well. Since your major wasn't "trash pickup" you probably couldn't figure out how to put garbage into a bag. Maybe somebody could show you how.
: : I'm letting myself get sucked in - I know I said I wouldn't respond, but I can't seem to help myself.
: : First of all, I have walked the rodes around here and picked up trash. My question was about how we can get more people involved in doing it as well. There is enough work for everybody in the county to pick up some trash.
: : Second of all, I never said I wanted to head any thing up - I was just asking for suggestions and someone else said I should be the leader. That was also the only reason I brought up having a degree. It was because they said they needed leadership and I simply commented that Leadership was what my degree is in.
: : Third, I already said that getting razzed won't stop me from comming here. I was only asking if that was the goal of the writer.
: : Finally, I return to my previus questions. Why is it that you and the other fella feel the need to be so negative and mean spirited? What are you getting out of it? Maybe you should think about it. There is help out there. WHat kind of relationships do you have? WHen you die will most people say "what a shame - he was such a nice guy and always so helpful and involved in improving our community." Or will they say something more like - "its about time, I was sick of hearing his big mouth all the time, what a pain in the ass"???????
: : I will move on now and try my very best not to ever again give into the temptation to respond to your jags. If you want to rip on each other back and forth we could always meet somewhere in person or go to a chat room on the net and do it. I was just saying that I'm interested in using this particlar resource in a manner that would be more beneficial for the residents of the area. Believe me, I have a sarcastic side and sometimes enjoy some back and forth senseless razzing. I see that as a fault of mine though and try to avoid it because it is exactley that - senseless. Not only that, its potentially hurtful and I don't want to be that kind of person. However, if you insist on wanting to go head to head in a verbal battle of wit and sarcasm, I would rather that we do it somewhere else.
: "First of all, I have walked the rodes around here and picked up trash." - Duquesne graduate, bmac, 5/04/07
: What is a "rode"? It must be a breed of dog.
: You don't want to head anything up, yet you are telling us about your degrees and how you would be willing to "organize"?
: Although YOU may need for somebody to show you how, you certainly don't need a degree to pick up trash. Did they teach you that at Duquesne?
The problem, bmac, with starting a group is what always happens. There are always more Chiefs than Indians, in other words, there are a lot of people that want to assume the leadership position and delegate work but not many want to actually do any of the hard work unless there is a camera recording them.
