English, motherfarker! Do you speak it!?

[/QUOTE]

He was speaking it pretty well when we saw him in NYC last weekend. Matter of fact, his absolutely gorgeous, hot, perfectly bodied girlfriend was speaking it pretty good as well. Don't be hatin' on Mr. Tea. Nothing there to hate.

 

[icedtea]

Ha, thanks JJ. We might have to make a trip in this weekend with the mountain not opening up.

I left jersey when I was 18. Why would I want to go back.

Cool...what exit are you from..:-D I love driving around the parking lot at Killington yelling JERSEY..in a loud obnoxious voice..you might think I'm lying but I do it everytime I'm at Killington..yes it's a little bit of NJ right in VT,,,In Vermont they say don't Jersey Vermont because the liberal hippies don't want high strung Jersey people in their state..well in Montana they say..don't Vermont Montana because the cowboys, ranchers, and good old boys don't want Latte sipping Liberals in their very conservative state..fun shit..

I just like to ski..and I get a kick out of all the Jersey Joeys at Killington, Hunter and especially my fabled Blue mountain...Jersey..whatyoutalkinbout..what what

Reno. I'm guessing you're from Jersey?

Born and raised in New Jersey too....It's my birth right to bash that state.

You love for killington.

and after looking....YOU ARE!
so predictable.....

Wow, there is a ton of Jersey hate on here. And along with it, a startling amount of sweeping generalization and ignorance.

:lol: Riiiiiiight. You do it all the time.

+1. Bragging about a life of minimal impact and low consumption is no different than bragging about a life of excess and over consumption. Both invoke the way one lives as a point of judgment against others, both individuals and groups, about which they know nothing. In JD's case, it seems as though, for him, those "others" are Killington skiers from New Jersey.

Ummm. No. What I find offensive is that people with means often live in gross excess, consuming the bulk of the worlds resources at the cost of oppressing people who are born in less fortunate situations in other parts of the world. This American Lifetyle perpetuates poverty and oppression to insure cheap labor and raw matierial extraction from places like africa, which are then shipped to manufacturing centers like India and China where other exploited workers create goods for us to use and throw away when either precieved or deisgned obolesence forces us or makes us think we need to upgrade. This basic materials economy drives our forign policy which is responsible for most of the death and destruction throughout the world. Gross excess is what I hate and mostly that is practiced by people who have alot of disposable income and don't have a clue about how unsustainable their exsistance is. Funny thing is, these same people will tell you what a shame all the suffering in Africa is w/o even realizing that those people suffer under a the rule of a warlord and regimes put and kept in place by us so multi nationals can continue to extract the resources w/o having to compensate the people of africa. I know alot of people up here who live on trust funds to some degree or another. Alot of them I call friends. They are poeple who understand the reality of our world and live very modest lives depite the fact that they have tons of coin. At the same time I know people who are as fortunate who are living lives of gross excess. These people are the problem in the world today. We are brainwashed to consume, it's what we are told gives us value. It's sad. I want to be rich...because I would love to be able to afford to give my time to one of the many organizations throughout the country who are trying to counteract the impact of the military industial complex on our daily lives, but, like most of us...pretty much struggle to just keep my house, my health, and my sanity. ( I know alot of you will think my sanity is already lost after reading my post here, and to you I say look beyond the thin veil of lies for the truth, starting with your own exsistance) I grew up in afluence, not too long ago, someone pointed me in a direction to see the global consequences of such an exsistance....and it's ugly. But this is a whole other conversation.

Wow. I have a long response to this that I decided against posting, but this seems pretty rote to me. Obviously global climate change, resource depletion, and human exploitation are ills our global society needs to constantly and vigorously address. But you really need to be careful what you wish for, in terms of calling for the undoing of some of the positive things that an increasingly global, capitalistic military industrial complex has accomplished. Namely, examine the change in the human condition now to that of our ancestors 100, 200, 500, 10,000 years ago. How do non-MIC societies rate against our own in terms of tolerance, discrimination, and oppression? How do they rate in terms of quality of life/pain, health, life span, and human conscience that spring from things like education, literacy, and knowledge? Is there more misery in the world now or then?

Hmm, now if we could only find away to continue these positive changes without destroying our planet first...wait...aren't we working on this?

I just find it hard to accept JD's way as "the right way" when it carries with it such condescension and narrow-mindedness, not to mention a judgmental attitude.

And, lastly, I agree with others who have pointed out how hypocritical it is to apply such beliefs as judgments against other people, who you do not really know, on a SKIING forum where we discuss the HOBBY of SKIING, the pursuit of which (as a hobby rather than a mode of transportation) is almost completely made possible by products of the MIC, such as free time, disposable income, synthetic materials, and, when things do not go according to plan, modern medicine.

This is by far the most f-up thread I've ever read on AZ.My heads a spinning.

You asked for it...

Give it up, Whiteface just isn't that rad. You make it sounds like it Whistler in comparison to K-mart. It isn't, they are in the same league. Oh no, but you guys have the slides! Yeah, and they're never open. Plus they really aren't that steep. Compared to other easter ski areas they're steep, but when you actually compare them to legit above treeline terrain they're nothing. Anyway, I'll take good woods skiing over all that icy crap at Whiteface any day, at least it will actually hold snow.

Hell, I don't even like Killington, but your accusations against it are just so ridiculous that I can't keep my mouth shut.

Anyway, to add some fuel to this fire. There are two "big hills" in the North East. Mt. Mansfield and Mt. Washington. Anything else either either doesn't have enough terrain or the terrain just isn't rad enough.


(Heh, that was fun.:razz

BIG K you need to take a few lessons from AWF. He is talking out his arse but he is bringing it.

This place is way too weird. I'm going back to reading Kzone for some normalcy.

where you'll find a 10 page thread titled "Wednesday" that talks about less than nothing. There is some fine use of photoshop present though towards the end though

Hmmm. I bedroom hole in Newark or 3 bedroom house in Vermont....geez....tough call there.
Typical to bring income into the argument as some way to determine the worth of a person....you really are from Jersey.
PS, My mom was born in Newark...before the race riots. Lovely town.

Can't comment too much on Newark, because it is rather B&T, but I would point out that the theatre accessible in from Newark (via PATH) is far superior to that in Vermont and can be reached without use of a car.

And while we are on it, how much energy is consumed heating/cooling a tiny 1 bedroom in an apartment block vs. your typical Vermont farm house?

 

[MadPadraic]

I think this bears repeating, particularly in light of the continued existence of this thread.

Repeating the same picture when there are so many to choose from?

Is there more misery in the world now? How do we define that? As a total sum or per capita misery? Globalization has clearly greatly reduced hunger and physical suffering, but the planet is able to support a lot more people now than it previously was.

But seriously...European glaciers melting is poopy.

Yeah, that's what I thought, no comeback at all. Yep, Iceface sucks ass.

Do you know what mountain also blows? Sugarbush.

Byebye, I'm going to turn the oven on, while keeping the door open, and open the freezer and fridge and see which one wins out. The over/under is 75 degrees. My bet is on the oven. Free electricity rulez!!1!!1!1!!!!

Hahaha... if you're coming down this week to mount bindings, stop by the zoo and get some baby seals. I've got plenty of clubs. Also, make sure you're driving with the e brake on. With your tires at 5 psi and a few cinderblocks in the trunk. Your car needs exercise just like you do!

I have a hard time arguing with ignorant people. Ignorant people that are still supported by family are the worst .
