No one on Plan B past, present, or future will ever have a part like Pat Duffy in "Questionable". He had the opener in the video and he shut it down. The rest of the video was just a bonus(Okay, I may be exaggerating a little). There were other videos released during that era that you guys should watch so that you may have a better perspective on how fucking gnarly Pat Duffy is.
My perception is that Pat Duffy skates what he wants and how he wants not what you think he should skate or how he should skate. Skateboarding today is just a bunch of circus acts. That's one of the problems with skating today and that's why it's so generic and boring.
The opinions/views of skateboarding on SLAP is very disturbing at times.
I think if skaters loosened their trucks and skated faster their true style would form and the skating would become more natural, fluid, and more enjoyable to watch but they don't and that's cool with me. I'm still able to appreciate their skating.
Duffy today is generic and boring, his part in Be True will show you that.
But he chose to put himself out there as a climate change denier... which to me says he's a dumbass. To disregard all that science has tested and proven for us, just to say some loser's documentary with bogus information is TRUTH? Dudes living in a fantasy world.
Dudes milking it for what he did in questionable. (Which i know someones going to argue the "get it while you still can" arguement) but i find leaving the game, with pride, way more respectful.
people are so ridiculous with their religious "scientific" beliefs...Appealing to a false non-existent authority and twisting the word 'science' into an absolute term invoking it as some sort of deity and using loaded buzzwords like "denier" to discredit anyone who doesn't tow the political party line is classic propaganda technique. People become PR relayers for a media agenda without even knowing it....you'd think a demographic like skateboarders (who used to be free thinking and rebellious individuals with their own personalities) would be more apt to use critical thinking and analysis and not just parrot the popular jargon of the day...but that just isn't so.
Good for Duffy for having the balls to actually have an opinion contrary to that of most of the lemmings in the US, it takes guts to think freely and even more hubris to put it out there as a public figure and deal with the ridicule. If you knew the history of vaccinations and what is in these cocktails you might come to similar conclusions on the safety of vaccines- its not a theory that live sv40 cancer virus was injected into millions of people through polio vaccines, and there are weighty allegations of sterilization of Kenyans through WHO sponsored tetanus vaccination programs. The same organizations funding vaccination "philanthropy" have a great interest in sterilization programs as well- over 400,000 Colombian women sterilized in the 1960's thanks to the Rockefeller foundations generosity...Duffy is a legend, and is a better skater than anyone who talks shit on this forum will ever be - if you disagree with his opinions then don;t read his shit - it's really sad that opinions and thoughts are now considered "dangerous"... it's truly Orwellian and absolutely pathetic how streamlined and herd-like people's critical thinking has become. I look forward to Duffy's part, and appreciate anyone with the balls to think for themselves and put an unpopular opinion out there.
The second paragraph was a little nonsensical, I couldn't really follow the whole vaccination thing.
But the first part was pretty dead on, I think what you're getting at is the whole abusive analogy thing which has
become so popular in modern day nationalism. Like when you mentioned how 'deniers' are automatically discredited
from not being tow with popular opinion, this is due to the people who oppose popular opinion being made
analogous to people who are delusional or radical.
It's pretty simple, pick the poster boy for unfavourable opinion, make him out to be a fraud and then compare anyone
who comes close in opinion to him.
And yes people who are very conscientious of being normal and liked often do become relayers for mass opinion.
This can happen as external validation (judgement of a person's worth by others) becomes more effective
when it occurs in a larger group, by say joining the largest common denominator or in this case the largest opinion.
