Subject: Re: [UC] Re: Parking Spaces @ 43rd Baltimore
The parklet is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. There is a
F* park right across the street.
This is not in direct response to any of the responses below, just
a general sentiment.
What's next? Wheelchair lanes in-between the trolley tracks on
Baltimore?
How much did they waste on that piece of crap?

explained that my feelings were not as emotional as yours and I wrote
of MY feelings on a very superficial level. I have no idea what the
so called peace activists had done to you to provoke such hard
feelings nor do I see where I have said anything that expressed
concern for my life due to flash mobs, but give me full credit for the
way you feel about what I personally said. I have not ridiculed you
or your followers. Actually, I believe we need people like you to
keep the rest of us thinking.
Thank you for that Mohel.

Ratmann, I said the same thing to a bunch of selfish peace
activists. If
they would stop their annoying complaining, we could smile and
enjoy our
lovely wars. If they understood that citizenship is an obsessed
selfish act
like you do, we would all feel happy happy joy joy and love for
our creative
wars.
The funny thing is that when you positive thinking entitled rats
hear about
a flash mob, you scream the loudest for justice and revenge.
Why don't
you get stop and frisked and then send your love? Will you smile
when the
creative one's yank away your rights as a citizen or your kids
rights? It
would be a minor inconvenience isn't that right, Rat?
This happy happy joy shit is just another level of bullshit. It
brings the
same amount of happiness as all other addictions. But you
mindless one's
use the law of positive thinking as a weapon against honest
citizens.
Give up your health care and send your kids to an Afghan
village, and then
sing your happy happy joy song. If you really believe that
parklets,
gadgets, and propaganda bring happiness, you simply delude yourself.
Yes, you are selfish when you ridicule the citizens, who actually
speak up
and work for justice. The route to true happiness is revealed in
the
dharma.

I'm sorry Glenn, I wasn't confusing your stupidity with your
enjoyment.
I'm afraid that my feelings on the parklet are less than emotional.
It's a fun, temporary display. I do however enjoy and support most
creative forms of street art (or whatever you are going to call
it in
rebuttal). If the temporary inconvenience of losing two parking
spaces is making it hard for people to manage they're parking needs
then you can take my spot for the time being. let me know and I
will
save a spot for you with my folding chairs (I stole them from Clark
Park btw). Much of the reasons for living in this neighborhood
is the
never ending diversity of ideas and creative displays that our
neighbors demonstrate in many ways. The city is a tight squeeze and
we're all in it together. If we spent less time selfishly
complaining
about minor inconveniences and embrace the cultural expressions and
creativeness of those who make things happen we might smile a bit
more.
As for Clark Park... it's my children's backyard. We are thankful
that there are changes being made and that the Park has become a
more
friendly space for most. The amount of folks that use the north
side
of the park speaks for the positive change that's happening. I'm
not
going to sit here and say that every change is good and that any
change is going to satisfy everyone but I'm not an angry guy with
too
much time and a personal agenda. I have a family, a real job which
keeps me from becoming obsessed with every blade of grass that is
damaged and every fart that is expelled from the powers working
hard
to make West Philly Safer, more creative, and a great place to
raise a
family.
Lastly, I will have to confess that my love for Siano is
undeclared
as is my love for Glenn. Sorry.
I've now
