To all the haters,
would u rather have them sitting around getting high in a convenience store parking lot? or playing video games? What they’re doing is creative and kind of ingenious if u ask me ...
@Josh Matta ... do u think I should show the kids
... the same kids that have been spending half the winter ski jumping off the neighbors roof
Forgive my ignorance but I never realized those would be the only other two choices in life they would have to do. I mean really? Because this stuff is just so productive and helpful to society. Im not saying they should be doing some good somewhere (though its not a bad idea) but to suggest their only other option is to get high in some parking lot? Really?
I wonder....in the majority of these so called ingenious and highly respected actions, who pays to repair any damages to just about anything private, municipal, or commercial? Structures roof top shingles, siding, painted surfaces, dings and dents or outright broken stuff. Parks/playground structures, railings, fences, awnings and overhangs, etc,etc,etc,. Like one poster mentioned early on that he had to place bocks (at his place of employment) at a railing/steps which he had to keep repainting just so this kind of thing didn't take place. How about in some cases the risks to automobiles or other people?
And which ones of them or their parents s are going to sue when one them gets seriously hurt or killed on someone else's private residential or private commercial property or municipal property? And even if no one sued, who pays for medical bills for such unnecessary stupidity? This way everyone's premiums keep increasing.
I know similar things like this have gone on for a long time now especially with bikes and skateboards. YouTube is filled with them. And its also filled with the injuries and broken or ruined or damage to structures of private, commercial and municipal property and belongings. These things are why we all end up with more rules and regulations and laws. Imo this isn't ingénues. Ski resorts do have rails and slides and jumps and etc...where they can do this stuff in an atmosphere made for it. This isn't ingenious, its stupidity and disrespectful. And the music placed on that vid that dbostedo posted? I mean just wow! It just doesn't get much more classier and respectful than all that language used.
But this is society today. And I guess as I age Im beginning to turn into a miserable old bastard.
