Price of liquor an issue at clubs?

[MissMarz]

Personally, and i'm sure i can speak for many other ladies, I am not impressed by baller battles, nor drunken fools fighting for any reason. Most girls hate violence, and simply aren't impressed if one guy shit kicked the other, or caused a huge brawl to go down. As for the baller battles, most girls are smarter than that and figure it out pretty quick. HOWEVER: I can't speak for barstar hoochies who live and breath for that sort of thing. Violence these day at clubs is really an issue, i say grow up! If you feel like you need to prove something make a date and settle your differences over a candlelit dinner. Don't ruin it for the rest of us who simply go to these places to get smashed and have a good time for what little money we do have. And the music is somewhat a deciding factor because like many ^^ have said before - the type of music usually has certain followers: either gangsta wannabes and bar battling P.I.M.P's---or the cas crowd that go to have a good time, not start shit.
My two cents.

Here's my 2 cents..

There are a ton of clubs in Van I would never go to. Why? It's simply the vibe. I do not want to go to a place where I feel like I need to watch my back the whole time, I can't step on someone's foot accidentally and get into a fight.
How can people say the music they play at these clubs doesn't have an influence on the drunk ass patrons? Of all the people that get shot/stabbed or whatever at clubs, how many are at top40/rap clubs. How many?! ALL. These guys go into these clubs, already thinking their hot shit, listen to the music all night, bob their heads, all like their the rap stars, 'ballin', etc. Then, some guy steps up when you're trying to bust a move in front of a bunch of bar sluts... what's next.

Music influences culture. People try to keep up with the culture, and, if the culture nowadays tells people if someone gets in your face, to do something violent to that person, they do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes to show everyone else their 'part of the culture' It's woven into 3/4 of these dudes heads!

Here's the difference, and why bars and music sometimes are not to blame. I listen to a ton of hiphop, but does that mean I go to top40 clubs looking to scrap some dude? No. If I have 5.. fuck, 10 drinks in my system, do I loose all morals, all judgement? Absolutely not. Do I then think I can step up to some 6'5 g-dog in line at the bar? Fuck no! It takes a certian person, who has either been brought up to do these things, or has been absolutly brainwashed by the hiphop 'culture' and thinks they're invincible, just like all these rapstars.

I dunno kids. The last 5-7 years things have gotten way out of hand. About the same time hiphop REALLY got into the top40. Is that a coincidence?

i've seen some pretty bad fights at club nights that play electronic dance music as well. so i don't know if you can blame the music for its violence. it happens anywhere, anytime between anybody. it just takes two idiots to start a fight.

let's keep all that shit on Granville Street and leave the underground gastown clubs in their happy places.
