hmm, you're either missing things in the conversation you're choosing to ignore things that don't suit your agenda
Awe syncro, keep crying man - I could use another river to padel down!
This whole thread started off with people beaking off about "city folk" I don't even know how you would say its a baseless thing for any of us city folk to call you guys out on.
- the very first post mentioned nothing about city people
- the second post mentioned a specific demographic of city people
- another post mentioned gangsters from surrey
- i'm not from whistler, i live and work in the city, in the downtown core in fact
- as one of the city folk, i agree with the notion that it's people from the city causing these issues in whistler because well, they are
There wasn't any concern for the people involved, it was all "oh no muh whistler, I can't continue to say I'm better than city folk if the same problems exist here".
- yes this is true, but don't trot out your sympathies now to try and prop up your false argument, if this really was a concern for you you would have mentioned this first before going on a rant about whislter people being ignorant and whiney
You still don't get that half your town is former city folk, or seasonal city folk either?
- i get that, but it's irrelevant to the topic at hand
- i'm not from whistler, i live and work in the city, in the downtown core in fact
You're so thick skulled it's kind of funny/sad.
I look forward to you following my posts and continuing your most mature attitude towards me, if the things I say are a reflection of who I am, maybe it's time to take a look in the mirror and at your elitist " holier than thou/any one from "the city"." Attitude.

Face the facts, it isn't "city people" that is the problem, its g'd up assholes, who just happen to live here -
- yes you finally get it, this is what people have been saying all along
and if you think there aren't high profile criminals with homes in whistler, I'd have to wonder what you're smoking - because it must be some good shit!
- i don't smoke anything
Are you so easily offended and simple that you can't understand what I was saying about whistlerites being whiney was specifically directed to certain people with clearly prejudiced attitudes, who had already said equally demeaning things about us city folk, the people who you are all so desperate to "separate from our wallets"?
- damn, now you've gone and lost the differntiation again between all city people and some
- those specific whistler people happen happen to be very good people and one of them in a far better person than you or i will ever be and is someone i have a huge amount of respect for
- if you are ever fortunate enough to meet and get to know patrolskid you will see how wrong you were with your comments
All you are doing is digging a hole and beaking off at this point, you want to make a good example of what whistlerites are actially like? Show some compassion for fellow human beings, don't be prejudiced idiot and realise, whether you like in or not, city folk make your town go round, city folk from Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Edmonton, Toronto, Berlin, Zürich etc etc.
- simply trying to show you the error of your thinking, unfortunately that's not working
- i'm not from whistler, i live and work in the city, in the downtown core in fact
Sorry if you live in a fantasy land and can't handle the truth, you live in a resort town by choice, it comes with certain perks and negative aspects and one of those is the fact that those lift chairs don't run, unless there is enough people to pack them, and those people are, you guessed it - city folk. 99.9% of which don't stab anyone, or even end up half as angry as you do over something like words.
- i'm not from whistler, i live and work in the city, in the downtown core in fact
- there's a lot of good folk in whistler who live and work there year round so people from the city have a great place to recreate. without the locals there would be no whistler for city people like you and i to enjoy. before whistler became what it is, there was a small village with locals doing their thing without any of these hassles.
But hey, I'm new, I don't know a thing - you are clearly an endless river od knowledge, compassion, respect and wisdom, everybody should strive to be JUST LIKE YOU.
- i wouldn't say i'm an endless river of knowledge, but i try to read up on a topic so i'm not talking about it blindly. you could learn from that as evidenced by this post of yours:
if nobody is willing to do anything (like become more strict with enforcement on this weekend) other than point fingers, nothing will change
which is blatantly wrong.
- you also incorrectly mentioned a few other times that whistler should have an increased police presence for this weekend when they in fact do have an increased police presence for this weekend which is documented in most of the articles on the topic
As far as manning.up and apologising goes, I'm sure you're so likely to do that yourself too eh? Look up a few posts where I explain and apologise, and then check out where you and the other butthurt fools essentially say its my fault that friend of mine have been assaulted or killed. You guys say that shit and then get offended when I call you a name in a retaliatory, half serious post? Man up indeed.
- i went all the way back to the start and didn't see you step back from your comments about whistler residents being ignorant and whiney, just a rationalization for your behaviour
- if there was a direct apology maybe you could find that post and quote it?
- i have not said anywhere in this thread that it's your fault friend's of youre have been assaulted or killed
you have made so many incorrect assunmptions and blantantly wrong statements that i have lost count. to be fair to you though, you have raised some valid points (which i have said previously - http://bb.nsmb.com/showpost.php?p=2873250[HTML_REMOVED]postcount=90 ) but for the most part your entire take on this has been off the mark. people tried nicely to explain it to you and you either didn't get it, tried to rationalize it away or respoded with more nonsense. whatever the issue is, it should be pretty clear that a vast majority of the people here have taken issue with your response to this topic (and other you've been involved in during your short time here). look you seem like a nice guy and you're excited to be here which is awesome, vancouver can be a great place to live, but so far you're not really doing yourself any favours.
wrt my previous post yes it was a bit strong and i apologize for calling you a dumb fuck. as for me i've clearly pointed out my issues with your posts (as have others) and you're either willing to address them or you're not. either way, good luck and maybe one day you'll actually get to spend some time in whistler to get a better idea of what the place is about than just basing it off of heresay and secondhand or incomplete information.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
