A push email from nextdoor came in about someone told not to skate through downtown Garland Texas. I hate conjecture and BS. I looked it up, and in certain areas skating is not allowed. I posted the ordinance.
And then I thought - wow - missed opportunity to offend everyone and get a giant argument going with all the typical I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG kind of excrement that flows through the alimentary canal of social media!
(long blithering exploration of dinner coming up)
my follow up post (enhanced):
It’s pedestrian safety versus CIVIL RIGHTS! AMERICA!!! It is a VIOLATION of our RIGHTS!!! PROTEST!!! REVOLUTION!!!!
Or maybe its ok to skate if you don't wear a mask... but only in the/a State(s) of Ignorance.
We should get a anti-SKATE ordinance mandate law edict something to protect our individual freedoms even if it can cause someone else to get hurt!!!! Come on folks. Run with it!!!
Anti Mask Mandates, 2nd amendment rights, personal freedom versus the common good. I want everyone to comment and drag a simple question into the quagmire of good and evil. Forget disagreement is fine but disrespect is not... get out the torches and pitchforks!!!
How DARE the city of GARLAND make a law that the STATE would override or even the EVIL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!! LOCAL CONTROL IS SACRED!!! EXCEPT WHEN WE DON’T LIKE THAT!!!
Make America Skate again.
BUTTTTT Skating is TOTALLY GREEN. IF WE ALL SKATED THEN POLLUTION AND CARBON EMISSIONS WOULD DROP LIKE A ROCK!!! THE USA WOULD BE A WORLD LEADER IN REDUCING POLLUTION!!! GREEN JOBS FOR SKATE MAKERS!!!!
But then the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY WOULD BE THREATENED BY THIS REVOLUTION! THE GREEDY WOULD HAVE TO PREVENT IT. WORLD WARS WOULD BE STARTED!!!! I CAN'T HAVE SKATES WITHOUT POWER SEATS!!! WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT BEARING GREASE/OIL????
Remember that 200 mpg skate that the AUTOMAKERS and OIL COMPANIES bought out the rights to so they could continue the RAPE of the environment for MONEY?!?!?!
Ok is there anyone I failed to offend? Can we get everyone to jump on this? Come on! Who has nothing better to do?
How can we work race and the immigration ‘crisis’ into this?? (no way we are a nation of immigrants displacing the native americans)
RAPISTS AND MURDERS WILL CROSS THE RIO GRANDE ON SKATES. Human Parasites will bring anchor skates in taking food out of the mouths of first responders!!! Those HUNGRY for WELFARE BENEFITS and WELFARE DESIGNER SKATES will ruin the property value of our GATED SKATE PARK!
It is a HUMAN RIGHT to have FREE ACCESS to SKATES!
It is a HUMAN RIGHT to deny others the RIGHT TO SKATE!
SKATING ACCIDENTS WILL FILL THE HOSPITALS BECAUSE UNLICENSED AND UNINSURED SKATERS WILL FILL THE ROADS!!!! (but we’ll have clean air — so we can light up and smoke our joints, cigarettes, pipes, cigars, banana peels, mushrooms…. and then Skating under the influence can fill our for profit prison system) And SKATE INSURANCE providers will legally bribe law makers with campaign donations so they only take in money and never pay a claim on a SKATING accident.
Drug cartels will start sending over their SKATE FILTH corrupting our innocent children!
PRO SKATE vs PRO CHOICE NOT TO SKATE!!!
Road Versus Waiting will be overturned and SKATING will not only be OUTLAWED but those selling SKATES or found to be going across state lines to SKATE or buying SKATES can be ratted out and get a $10,000 bounty!!! That won’t cause any trouble right!??!!
Our TRADE GAP and WEALTH will flow to the EVIL CHINESE COVI-19-SKATE importers with flawed and unsafe skates putting AMERICAN GREEN SKATE JOBS at RISK!!!! If you SKATE or TOUCH a SKATE you will be made UNCLEAN!!!
WHAT ABOUT QUAD SKATES WANTING TO BE IN LINE SKATES?? OR IDENTIFYING AS SKATEBOARDS!!! We MUST punish/protect/ignore/allow/whatever because they are a threat or just being the kind of SKATE they want to be.
Our GOD/RELIGIOUS LEADER/WHATEVER has mandated that Skates should be punished for simply being who they are.
God FORBID a Quad or Inline or even a skateboard not conform to some arbitrary standard because it serves our political needs, makes us uncomfortable, or that we are Skateopaths or Skateofiles.
Wheels, bearings and grease will be denied to those hooked on Skating! Except when its with a disco beat!!
NamaSKATEste fellow humankind!
What about CHEAPSKATES!?!?!??! They will be spit on if they show their faces in public!
SKATEGATE!!!
HA!!!! THE HOOK IS BAITED!!! WHO CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES??? WOOF WOOF WOOF!! BARK BARK BARK!!!! TAKE IT AND RUN BABY!!!
POLITICIZE SKATING TO DIVIDE US AND GET MONEY AND POWER!!!
A SKATE PARK DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND SKATING!
LETS GET GROUPS TO RUN POLLS AND PETITIONS
NEVER PRESENT EITHER
ASK FOR DONATIONS
NEVER LET YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY WENT
NEVER GIVE PROGRESS REPORTS AND LAWMAKER/COURT RESPONSES
SCREAM HYSTERICALLY AT BOTH LIBRASKATERS AND CONSERVASKATES FOR SUPPORT
THEN DISTRIBUTE THOSE SKATE/NON SKATERS EMAIL ADDRESSES TO ANY AND EVERY GROUP TO DIVIDE THE EFFORT SO IT FAILS TO DO ANYTHING!!!
(Not that I am cranking on people. Except that I am - I am just saving a lot of people time by expressing their views for them)
(who did I leave out? who needs to publically pillory me? Come on. Anyone? No death threats? )
Can’t we all just skate along??
