The Slap Message Boards and the Trial of Jamie Thomas

[grimcity]

In my defense, I stand in front of Chinese tanks every chance I get.

[NickDagger]

Also, Grim, sleazy, nick, are we agreed that in our current circumstances we need more regulation of industry, no matter what our

Yeah, if we're not going to do away with corporations, then it's essential.

Aside:
I really wish Clinton had taken Ross Perot's take on NAFTA... his signing it was a bigger fuckup than getting his intern to slobber on his junk. Now we have Bush's CAFTA, which will run Louisiana sugar cane farmers out of business, and there are too many other __FTA equivalents out there not only sucking us dry, but also fucking up the middle classes of the countries that host those agreements. NAFTA was supposed to be a huge boom for the Mexican middle class, but all of the money goes straight to the top, so profits look great, but the money doesn't get to the middle class, who eventually turn into lower mid to just lower economically. 

Yeah, trade agreements like NAFTA fuck everyone but the few at top.

i dont really know at this point what everyone is talking about, all i can come up with is that some people in this thread sure complain a lot about problems in our nation and really don't take any realistic action to their complaints, except talking on a message board

Yeah! Wait no.

If you have specific ideas on "actions" that I haven't listed yet, then please, list them.

where is pierce to come in and say "ur all fags ya", ive been waiting for that. this is sk8 tlak

All you know is what people post on the message boards. How do you know that the people posting aren't taking any realistic action? First of all, complaining IS an action, which is why it is the first freedom that is guaranteed in the bill of rights, second of all, what should we do?
should we just stay in line, and not talk about the problems of the world and just talk about gest-friendly topics?
Grow the fuck up.

DNA is made in Mexico mostly, and some in Montreal at Woodchuck.  DLX is having shit made in Mexico now too! yeah i got a bakers in today, and all the stickers say made in Mexico!  Whoa nothings good anymore?  Who fucking cares, I was all about "Don't support China Wood" I wouldn't carry anything made in China or mexico for the first 3.5 years we were open.  Unfortunately we now have to carry boards made in Mexico and China, cause if a kid doesn't see it, he'll go to Zumiez, or CCS to get what he wants.

i was directing that towards nickdagger, but whatev gets your undies in a bunch. but since you said it; complaining IS an action, but it really isn't doing much to help anything. it could, had you been complaining elsewhere, not on a messageboard.
this is sk8 tlak, you can just talk about it in whatever so i dont have to open threads i dont understand
it should be sk8 tlak in here

[Lance]

Would complaining be considered a verb?

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

It started off as a direct questioning of Jamie Thomas' business practices. That's a pretty fucking direct action.

Funny how the Gipper accuses me of being elitist

I am elitest and so are you. Atleast I don't pretend to be some pro who can't divulge his real name. Did you know I am actually a superhero? I can't divulge my real name though, too much dickriding and such...

I think "complaining" is called like a gerund or something. Its where you add "ing" to a verb and it magically becomes a noun. Or is a gerund the one where you do something to a verb to make it into an adjective. Like "the masturbating monkey" or something..
But yeah its a noun, unless you mean,  "I hate that complaining poster named the gipper," which is an adjective. One of the two is a gerund.

or in your case, TSX. are they still a big competitor for you guys?

[LENNIEKIRKSBIBLE]

Fuck Jamie Thomas.

Yeah. That's right. I heard he broke his legs doing the Leap of Faith. I heard he uses really feminine shampoo when washing his long blonde hair. I heard he once did a naked benihanna straight into his wives vagina. In fact I head that was the way her fathered his children. I hear he personally shoots mexicans caught fleeing his stronghold board pressing fortress. I also heard he was only giving Keegan a board if he started wearing american flag spandex pants and sleeveless t-shirts.

Fuck Jamie Thomas.

Honestly Biggums, I'm through looking at it as competitors, TSX is owned by 2 fuckin 60 year old hippies who have never skated a day in there life, Zumiez well we all know who they're owned by, and CCS who's owned by Delias and Hollister.  Kids don't give a fuck anymore, they don't know what skater owned and operated means.  TSX, Zumiez, and CCS havent done shit for this area, when we get swallowed up that's when they'll understand how whack skateing has become.  I still don't have a Nike account, Dwindle account, or a Black Box account...

[biggums mcgee]

also, I was pretty pissed that tsx was firing dudes who skated and replacing them with hip chicks. shutting down a skatepark that gave alot of locals exposure which otherwise wouldn't have been brought their way, and all the while opening new stores all over the region...not to suck too much dick but its pretty admirable on your part to have morals like that..

[sweets]

I like how cute Corey Duffel looks flying threw the air in his paint on paints while on an American made Foundation. We should all just buy Corey's boards from now on.

No dick sucking taken, we do what we do.  Thank you for coming through when we have shit going on, I know you live pretty damn far away. 

EDIT: Next time intorduce yourself please, we have a couple demos in the works for the summer, DLX, Domestics, Habitat, Coda, and 5Boro, hopefully you'll be able to make 1 or 2.

[Hatechild]

Wow, pretty impressive political debate going on here. I'm going over to some more ignorants topics about skaters who rap or who has the best push. Cheers ladies and gents.

[Lance]

Seriously, the way everyones goin at it you guys could win the election over Obama and Hillary

I thought he wouldn't even stand a chance vs. Ron Paul when I heard mr. bush endorsed him.

[NickDagger]

I really don't get how anyone can vote for Mccain. He's promised us continuous war and to somehow worsen the already crumbling economy. Gas prices more than doubled in the 7 years since Bush took office, with Mccain you can expect 6-7 dollar gas prices before his term is up. You can quote the dagger on that one.

And what I really don't get, is, how is the country gonna function when Mccain has to stop running it every fifteen minutes to use the bathroom?

[SLAPTASTIC]

Ideally the presidential race would be Ron Paul vs. Ralph Nader.

Is the Gipper for McCain?

Jamie who you voting for?

I'm voting for Grimace. No offense, I'm just into purple and Barney isn't running in this election.

Not that I love all the political shit but I was actually thinking this place has dumbed down over the past year or so. It used to be all about NAFTA, immigration, military ads in TWS, China and free trade, etc. I remember in the infamous 110 page thread grilling Jaimie on his Mexican wood press. He kinda dodged fair trade but said the men and women in his plant get equal pay or equal work which is cool. From what I've read the mos def not the NAFTA standard.

Fuck gas prices will be 6-7 by the end of the summer, they broke 3.80 today here, so negged!
