    Bwahahahahaha, sarcasm is always the best response I think.

    Do you not agree that the whinging about anything people can think of is gettin just a little over the top around here. I can say that most of the threads I've started are all about the finer things in life, but given the current ratio, I dont tell bikers I meet to join in the fun on here, cos it's embarracing how much drivel has to be filtered through.

    No...I dont want to leave because I am entertained by a lot of it, and dont take much of it seriously, I just want the whinging to slow dowm so I can tell more people to come on and look at pictures of my race bike, or me doin wheelies, or anything else I've done cos I'm an egomaniac.

    I'd rather be listening to peolple whinging on here where you can give them shit than listen to people whinging on Corro Street.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Oh the irony of it all, you whinged about him, and I whinged about you. Bwahahahahahahaha.

    I love stealing threads, let's do it more often.


    Funny doesn't begin to describe it, halarity and hysterical laughter are more appropriate in my readings.

    Mikkel! Engage in public you wuss. The rep system isn't there as a weapon or a debating tool. It's so you can agree or disagree.

    The issues are related. You'll get bent out of shape about littering, but you're unable to see or understand that good citizenship extends to being able to have compassion for people who, despite not really being able to look after themselves, still do their damnedest to succeed at whatever they can.

    I did read your response and it was a thinly veiled series of excuses as why it is OK to mock "retards". "Senior member" carries no kudos at all. It just means you have no life and have to live by proxy on an Internet Forum.

    Littering? You know what a "citizen" would have done? Picked the butt up, thrown it away and gone about their day without looking for a pat on the back.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yeah yeah, I guess you won. You stole my thread - you deserve it. But Drew, don't think for a second I wasn't calm when I wrote the response above, and I do still stand by it.

    Now I guess I'll just STFU and make people happy instead. Have fun littering guys, you certainly did a good job of it with this thread.

    As for attention - I certainly got more in that regard than I had both desired and expected. I desired none and expected only little. This was more about speaking up and addressing an issue that you feel about instead of doing the same old thing - getting annoyed and doing nothing. And trust me when I say that I wasn't at all enjoying it.

    You make it sound sort of so so wrong to not have a life!!!

    And a 'citizen' wouldn't have thrown their spittle-soaked nicotine riddled dog-end out of the window in the first palce.

    I think it is awesome you stood up for what you believe in. So many people wouldn't do anything about it and would just bitch about it.
    Good on ya for trying to keep New Zealand beautiful

    Jebus man, HTFU. Can you not see that although we are going about it with a bit of extra zest for the fun of it, we are trying to impress that the thread was shit to start with?

    It's been entertaining tho, cheers for the laugh.

    Oh, well. I guess we're square then. I can't help but feel that no matter what I would have replied to you, your opinion of it would still be that it would have been "a thinly veiled series of excuses as why it is OK to mock "retards"". As I said, I wasn't mocking people suffering from a disability outside their own control...

    As for not engaging in public, I gave you rep instead of replying to your first thread because 1) It was offtopic as far as I was concerned 2) I disagreed with your comment.



    As for asking for a pat on the back - I never did. It was never meant as a bid for approval by anyone here. Of course it would be a catch-22 to even bring up whether I had indeed ever done anything to clean up other peoples mess - because now I would of course just be asking for a pat on the back.

    I like to save my cigarette butts up in the car so that I can throw them, in big confetti-like bunches, at Honda riders.

    So after having dropped off my better half I find myself sitting at some of the very very slow lights on my way out to Uni. The car in front of me, a red Supra, all of the sudden expels a smoking cigarette butt right out onto the road.

    Now, I can get quite ranty about shithead drivers who can't wrap their heads around efficient traffic flow, who doesn't care to look or indicate before turning or changing lanes, etc. I also find it bad manners to smoke in your car unless you keep your windows closed. Usually I don't get pissed off enough to actually do something about it. ...but not today!

    Knowing that the lights are usually red for quite a time I got out of my car, a bit shaky since I was pissed off. Walked up, picked up the butt, handed it back to the fat bitch (sorry, but she was actually) saying "Sorry, I think you dropped something." She replied "Oh, thank you." Walked down and got back into the car. Man, I was pissed off. The way some people behave, either they are completely oblivious to the fact that there's a world out there that they have to share with the rest of us or they simply don't give a fuck.

    Funny though, that this was what it took to set me off enough to actually go out and address the issue.

    So how's your day been so far?
    Are you ovulating and having monthly issues again little boy?

    One thing I found absolutely wonderful about NZ 4 years ago was that you never saw anyone throwing stuff out of their cars or on the street while walking. Now a days I see it every day and yes it is not cool. If you think it is cool, then you quite frankly need to get a reality check - someone else will have to pick up your mess unless we're to walk around in shit up to our necks.

    As for smoking:
    While I don't give a toss about how you choose to defile your own lungs, I do find it disturbing when I get bothered by someoneelse smoking in their car on my way to work... in my car... with my windows closed...
    So yeah, that is bad manners, just as if I got up at 3 am and chose to crank my amp up to 11 and hold a small charity concert for the benefit of insomiacs.
    your an idiot.. you could say the same about pedestrians having to breathe in your toxic exhaust fumes...


    Sit down and shut up you attention seeking whore.


    IDJIOT !

    to be fair he might have re routed the exhaust gas back inside the car through some sort of hose device to save those pedestrains?
