If you ask me, he could definitely use a variety of social activities
outside the web.  Perhaps his community offers a softball league,
bowling tournament or social mixers w/ different members of the
community.  Heck, even foosball tournaments!  These activities are a
proverbial foot-in-the door for to trigger spheres of the brain
previously untouched or under-utilised.

Some people use religion as a way to meet people.  It's definitely not
for me, but for others, it can work quite well.  If it works, go you!

Major point:  one person's happiness and congruity w/ others (w/ whom
he or she actively accepts) is not another's.  One form of happiness
is not universal.  That's why you have stamp-collectors, train-set
aficionados, avian experts out there, and someone who may be a little
of all of the above.

Now..  That doesn't mean than one form of happiness is superior than
the next.  The strength in numbers approach, a form of logical
fallacy, can be extremely misleading, and distort that reality.  While
one may create a code of conduct for happiness, it's strictly a narrow
interpretation.

Generation-X and forward innately understands that.  They also know
how to defend against those who thinks continued personal attacks are
acceptable.

Is one generation better than the next?  Depends on who you ask.  I
say, different strokes, different folks.

Personally, I'd like to see more females contributing to this group.
A few have tried over the years, but have frankly been scared off due
to the social comparison that goes on in here between male
participants.

The more people you meet, the more diversified you become.  Tolerance
is a byproduct.

Go up the the hill going up by the St Francis in SF with a manual car.
Stop on the hill, with cars ahead of you advancing, one by one,
through the stop sign.
Now, break of your seat back so you have to hold yourself upright with
your hands and then operatwe the clutch brake and gas at the same
time. You will learn how to start on a hill that way. (Fortunatly, I
kne beforehand.)

Are the bikes still leaving their tire marks on the concrete dividers
on 17? (That's what some dumb-a.s lady thought was leaving the skid
marks on them -Bikes!!!)

Isn't it true you have sent photos to Carl's site and helped him with
his website.

Doesn't that make you a "retarded loser"

I never quite understood the phrase "...have no life".  Is it some

In my opinion, Mr Slater, you're quite the jock in the MTR group!

Hmm are you then saying Carl doesn't either?

You mean if he has the BRAINS, he will. Which is why he doesn't - he's
as dumb as a box of rocks. He has the creativity of a gerbil. He's a
one-trick pony. And he's becoming repetitive and boring.

Wow, that little comment must have really struck a nerve - you
responded to it TWICE! :)

Isn't it funny? You and your little attack Chihuahua come here, trying
to stir up some sh.t and irritate people, and yet every time the
result is that WE get under YOUR skin.

You must really enjoy that feeling of having your goat gotten... :)
