Nuisance amid nature

It's a paradox of our society that some of the most naturally splendorous and peaceful places in the country tend to attract people employing machines that greatly disturb the peace. Yosemite and other national parks in colder climates are invaded each winter by people riding snowmobiles, which spew noise and pollution across the landscape.

Here in Florida, a comparably clamorous vehicle disrupts the atmosphere in just about anyplace where water can be found. Airboats are the epitome of American self-centeredness - useful for those who employ them and unpleasant for anyone else unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity of one.

I dislike airboats on principle. They are loud and polluting, and a single airboat can...

This clown is defiantly going to get a response from me after I cool back down to say this ticked me off would be an understatement :evil:
 
Clamorous vehicles? He dislikes them on principle? I dislike whining sniveling yankees on principle. After this angry white man calms down, I will try my best to give Mr. White a polite educational response to his article.
 
Canefan, your rebuttal was great! A much better read than that birdwatching bunny huggers article. :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Go back and tell him what airboating means to you. I'm curious as to what good deeds the bird watching community has done for bird watching heroes lately.
 
When ignorant people like that open their mouth, all manner of effluent spews forth. The real pollution is folks like him who immigrated down here in the last 20 years or so and never even tried to assimilate into our culture. Folks LIKE this are WHY we have to press 1 for English.

Scotty :idea:
 
the sick part about this clown is he is a native , i dont no about you guys but ive seem more birds in my boat than any other place i can think of, hes just a panty waist so he bashes what he cant understand, one day he will kayak his a$$ into a jam and he will love the sound of a airboat, carma dont you know
 
Plum, actually I think you have a great idea. An invitation and bit of education might change his attitude. Its risky though but could work.

Scotty :wink:
 
I don't know if there is any hope for this guy, especially after reading his last paragraph. But, I also gave him an invitation, and those replies to the article you guys did were great. I would like to see him bombarded with so many that he will re-think bashing us again----and maybe even take us up on the invite. That would be great---followed by a positive airboat article
 
the last blog comment (which is the first to be read) confuses me,first the statement is that no one listens to this guy but at the endhe seems to let on he is the author but you cannot be sure since he does not post his real name.but i swear if i was to guess who wrote that i would be inclined to say the same person who seems to have a knack of underhandedly slamming people on here.butt that is just my opinion.
 
Does have a kinda familiar style to it don't it Bondsman? Interesting catch. You could be right.
