Little resolved in emergency meeting.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

"This is not like boycotting Chick-fil-A, real people will get hurt," another resident said.


Yeah because everyone knows the people who work at Chick-fil-A aren't real people. They make minimum wage and could never afford a share in the Pines!

That quote stood out to me too, Erik.  What a ridiculous thing to say.


Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

I've been trying for ten minutes to make sense out of that Chick-fil-A quote.

I think he was saying that a gay boycott of Chick Fil-hate wouldn't really have an impact as they're not catering to a gay demo.


A gay boycott of Fire Island however would indeed cause greater economic harm as we are their bread and butter.


Either way, they should have thought of that before getting into bed with Cruz.

Welcome Ultron!


How refreshing to have someone that makes well verbalized and supported points.


 


I kinda want to block you, but then I risk missing your inevitabel meltdown. And I just can't deny myself that pleasure.

Jane. It is safe to say that j_jammer (Ultron) does know what he is in for. It led to a meltdown, so he must be a glutton for punishment.

I don't know if you were posting then Jane. It was last year.


He only lasted like a week (maybe two) before Rob had to delete his account and ban him.


We'll see if he lasts that long this time.

The one I feel bad for is P.J. McAteer, who is a great member of the community and has owned the pizza place and the Sip 'n' Twirl for years.

Ever since reading "Dancer from the Dance as a young (very young) gay in the 1980's (very late 1980's) I have wanted to visit Fire Island. Does this mean it has to join Jamaica on my list of no visit? It always seemed so exciting and bohemian to someone this side of the pond with only tacky clubs to visit!! Does anyone have (printable) memories of the place to keep me going?!!

Thank God the Pines is already awful.  It saves me the conflicted feelings.
