You know what?
Your only commonality with the person I actually replied to was that yo both ride the bus... I labeled you Emo and maybe not on the outside, but why
do you choose to relate to a person who obviously and be insulted over a completely superficial commonality in experience?
How do I Know from what you just posted that, your the kind of person who just might give up your seat for Lady or elderly person or that if a kid
tried to nab a bite of your sandwich you might offer a piece not go on ATS and rag the child for being hungry lol
I have no issue with people who are sensitive...
I would never be having an argument with you in RL other than to say perhaps as a friend, your traits are totally in the right direction but you need
to stand up and fight and put the whole emotional thing aside sometimes in dealing with some people.
Okay
I ride the bus on a rare occasion too, Cars... never have thrilled me, big gas guzzling polluters and If I enjoy a smoke and get pulled over i'm
screwed...
So I know the "type" of bus rider and so do you...
I've been on the bus when HS lets out I know the Noise the loudness, the piggish behavior of some younger riders very well...
The description I read... was a young person bitching about the bus and children and moms riding it and disturbing his/her MEAL lol...
Okay FIRST don't leave me your (not you) damn mess on the seat...your not supposed to do that it's rude... I see this, people who come on pig out in
front of other people (90% of the time same people put feet up so no one can sit next to them)
Okay, Second Women and Children FIRST and Elderly and Cripples, bottom line is You and I can ride a bike if we have to we aren't incapable for any
reason, the City BUS is there first for people who can't do it on their own... there is no excuse for a belief system that says... Kids need the bus
and their moms less than you or I...
So if i'm telling this guy off...
and I mentioned the bus... YOU shouldn't take it personally... maybe you want to save energy, maybe you just don't mind it and don't have the
gumption to want to waste money on a car... But your NOT this person if what you say and how you express yourself is true and you shouldn't relate to
a slob and rude person as if I attacked you over one tiny commonality because from what you say, your nothing like that...
I think if you disliked the situation and your good on a computer.... you wouldn't be involved in it
And frankly... Why not say to that guy... "Hey why not ask mom if you can give the kid a piece of your sandwich instead of acting like a 4 yr old is
somehow ruining your life"
Relating to people is great... relating to people who don't give a crap about anyone else is a Fail in the long run and that's probably the only
thing I actually disagree with you on...
Take for example a conversation I heard in California (after 9-11)
Two people at a Restaurant explaining how "we need to Understand the culture"....
NO... I do not... have to accept around me ever, clitoral circumcision, masking of women, stoning people... Ever (don't agree it should go so faras
to fly over to fight it) BUT, in my zone, in my daily life I don't ever have to "Understand or relate to this" if it comes my way... I have a right
to fight.
Likewise... I don't need to be nice to someone who... won't give up a seat on the bus or share his sandwich with a child, that person has NO respect
for others and I will NOT show respect to them in exchange, it never works, you just end up accepting things in your life and degrading your own
existence as I see it.
You can't be nice to kids and moms... I have no reason to be nice to you. You wont be nice to MY MOM or my Kids on the bus, so respect, decency from
me is gone.
And you know.. fine sorry if the bus thing affected you, I apologize
But your taking a very small aspect of what i'm saying and applying it to yourself which, if the things you say about are true you have nothing in
common at all with the person I was commenting at and I have no idea why you'd rather relate to that, then understand the placement of the
comments...
If you can't deal with annoying kids and helpless people... get off the god damned bus and Pedal power it... be a Person, The bus is a LUXURY for
us...for me at 4o it's a Luxury I CAN get where I am going another way and that's the bottom line and if need be, i'd be a man under those
circumstances and make way for people who can't do what I can do not sit there and say people shouldn't have kids because I feel like making out a
big Roast beef on my way to do whatever I could do another way.
So sorry, but I have no idea why your hanging on the bus issue... I'm quite sure from your words, you'd give up a seat if it was needed etc, etc...
not act like it was your personal coach taking you to the palace.
