http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande . .probably
true. but then, those same generalizations were used by ****** .against the Jews,
Oh, right. If ****** said something, that vitiates those words for all time to come. Right. Idiot.
by many Americans against the African Americans and .countless other groups who thought,
incorrectly, that an entire group of .people could be characterized so simplistically.
I have observed THOUSANDS of mountain bikers in person and on the 'net. I have yet to meet even ONE
who is honest. That is just a fact.
Then again, it just shows .the shortsightedness of your attitudes and total inability to realize
that .those who mountain bike are no different than those that hike, swim, run, .cook, sew, play
football, or jerk off excessively every day.
How would you know? Have you done a study? I doubt it. In fact, people who engage in a partcular
activity ARE different. People who mountain bike are just not THE SAME AS THOSE WHO spend their time
trying to save wildlife. To say that they are is dishonest (nothing new, for mountain bikers). There
is a REASON that mountain bikers are so honest: if they had to tell the truth, they would no longer
be able to practice such a destructive sport.
AS a group, .they represent an entire cross section of society and cannot in any way be
.characterized by one or two words that by their use serve your myopic view .of the group
in question.
I have enough data to say that you are absolutely wrong. For example, I have yet to meet one who is
honest about mountain biking. And you are no exception! You are just as dishonest as all the rest.
