Recreation Scuba Issues

Like to ask some question.

Why is it Anti-American to complain about people using Rec.Scuba for
their political bandwagon? *I* have never noticed a directly
Anti-American remark but have seen many Anti-Canadian comments.
I have noticed personal abuse and they may have been directed at US
Citizens but in the most we don't know where you are from and I don't
think in most case anyone here represents a whole country.

Why is ok to be Anti-Canadian but not anti-American?

What has presidential candidates, guns, killing power of this or that
bullet got to do with Scuba.

Why do people have to personally abuse each other no matter how stupid
they may seem.

Once I was told people wanted to treat this as a biker bar and chat
about crap. It is not a bikers bar they have beer, bars, pool tables and
people standing in them. This is a place to gain information about scuba
although I think most people may be giving up on that.

Biker bars junkies try to rec.bike, rec.pub, rec.talk.politics or
something similar.

People hate Americans because they are jealous of us... That's not really
possible with regards to Canadians, so our anti-Canadian leanings are just
us having fun razzing the caribou-fuckers...

Ever hear of bang sticks?

Ever consider that the far left moonbats are more likely to try to
restrict our liberties and that includes when and where we might go
diving?

It's rec.scuba and since the internet was created here, that means that it
is American... We allow ya'll to have your little locale-specific
newsgroups (e.g. aus.sport.scuba, uk.rec.scuba, japan.sports.scuba-diving,
tamu.scuba, etc), but first and foremost, rec.scuba is American... As
such, we talk about what we want... If you don't like it, feel free to
create your own newsgroup and talk to yourself..

Why do Kiwis like to fuck sheep? Some things aren't meant to be
understood...

I'm drinking a beer right now... Some people probably have pool tables at
their homes... We've already discussed every subject to death, but if you
think that you can come up with something that we haven't discussed, feel
free to start a new thread...

And why don't you just go off to aus.sook?

It's not.

What's Anti-American is whining motherfuckers coming in here from
inconsequential third world shitholes like yours, and making scores, if not
hundreds, of comments about Americans, American politics, and the American
way of life.

Dechucka has been doing it for years.

It's probably from bitterness about his grandmum getting knocked up by a
Marine back when we saved your country in WW2.

Australian women were known world wide back then for being pretty easy
(compared to prudish American chicks)(and I doubt it's changed, not since I
was in Perth).

>*I* have never noticed a directly Anti-American remark

In your opinion.

That situation doesn't exist here.

It's only your ignorance of the matter at hand.

We Americans get lots of international leg humping here, jealousy and
angst mostly, from others that choose to be here just to make their foreign
views known.

It's because no other country wields the power and responsibility that we
do, and criticism comes easy from the cheap seats.

I note that you have twice participated in gun control arguments and been
run off with your tail between your legs,

BUT, after having foisted your ignorant opinion on the group first.

That's pretty chickenshit.

And pretty hypocritical.

Basing that on your extensive posting history here?

Rec.scuba is one of the oldest scuba forums in existence.

More -unedited- and/or -unmoderated- scuba information has been presented
here than anywhere else.

I myself have been here in excess of 10 years, some since the early 90's-
are you honestly arrogant enough to think we should all change "what is"
just to suit your personal whims?

At the snap of your fingers?

That we digress into OT posting is the difference between this forum, and
your -dead- ASS forum, which, in it's past, has been as volatile as this
place.

It's because we've discussed just about every -interesting- scuba topic
there is to death, and, several times.

Yet, within the guidelines of our SOP, we still field frequent questions
from all levels of divers.

See how kind I'm being to take time out from abusing Dechuka to
answer -your- (OT) inquiry.

I like it just fine here, just the way it is.

I've met over 100 of my fellow Rec.scubans at this point, from 4
countries, been diving with them in scores of places, slept at their homes.

Accumulated more than 1000 dives in 10 years, with the help and knowledge
of these people right here.

Just who the fuck are you?

> Biker bars junkies try to rec.bike, rec.pub, rec.talk.politics or

Good luck with your ASS.

Speaking of which, don't let the internet slam you in it on your way out.

Don't forget- the Moon is an American territory-

He's already done that-

They were dissing him about it on UKRS the other day.

might also have something to do with your attitude like the way you have
insulted my country and its people in you response is just one simple
example. I have never said anything negative about your.

Also Rec.Scuba is not just America it is world-wide.

No I found your arguments back lacking in any strength and not worth
commenting on similar to this crap you have presented here.

once again you get personal.

The original post was not cross posted. I believe you did that just to
piss people off. It worked. At least we have the balls to apologise if
we have crossed posted in error as I did earlier. A real apology not
just some point scoring set of words.

Have a nice day.

Just giving my opinion, no matter how factual it may be.

What does this have to do with scuba, BTW?

I never said it wasn't.

That doesn't mean that any idiot with an opinion about me or my country
will go unopposed.

Yet you were back a week later asking the same questions, making the same
whining comments.

>similar to this crap you have presented here.

Yet you choose to respond?

It's a statement of fact.

That you take "ignorant" as an insult is your own choice.

Riiiiiight (after Dechucka did it, that is).

Did you have some scuba content, or are you just foisting your ignorant
opinion on us again?

> Have a nice day.

Thanks, Bro!

I -always- do.

The Internet is American... We just let ya'll use it... Look up ARPANET...

Now shut the fuck up or we'll cut your cable to your island, just like we

Is this another on topic post from you?

Well, I'm ignorant of many things, and maybe I'll give you the "fool" as
well, but where did the "racist" and "red neck" come from?

That sounds rather "bigoted".

More hypocrisy from you?

Perish the thought.

I do, thanks!
