wow, you sure understand what the phrase "speak for yourself" means.

I'm just going to point out when I said "this includes you". And now I'm done arguing the same point over and over again.

[ppcock]

oh Erin vs Dave.

not taking anyone's side.. Ding!

[ebbomega]

Oh fuck off already.

I'm serious. Just because a certain outlook applies to you doesn't mean it applies to every other person in the party scene. What the phrase means is that it's pretty damn presumptuous to assume that just because you have a problem growing up everybody else, particularly people whom you've never even fucking met before.

If you still party like you did when you were a kid, I feel sorry for you.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing... Just because a certain outlook applies to you doesn't mean it applies to every other person in the party scene. I'm sorry - Problem growing up? Don't see it as a problem, pretty sure I feel the same way as you do in that area! Didn't we both say something along the lines of: if growing up means no more dancing - we both don't want any part of it? Party like I did when I was a kid? I couldn't if I tried! BTW Your last sentence doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing it means something along the lines of me making the assumption that you and a few of the other 15 people who still post in here are being children cause you still go to electronic events. So? You honestly need to argue with me for how ever many pages because I happen to think you might not be what most people would consider a 'grown up'? I happen to think you are an intelligent well spoken individual, you make me laugh (most of the time). I don't look at you as an immature little child that can't pay his rent on time - all I'm saying is most people wouldn't consider smeone who still chooses to go to some of the events that both you and I still go to as acting like a grown up.

I don't think this is anything you have to take sides over...

K, here's the problem with your argument right here. I AM speaking for solely myself, and you're trying to speak for me as well (as you've said). I'm not saying that my outlook on partying is the only one to have, but somehow you've lumped me into a group of Peter-Pan syndromers without having even met me.

If you party because you're trying to recapture your childhood, by all means go for it. But what you fail to understand is that just because YOU do doesn't mean EVERYBODY ELSE does.

[ebbomega]

Also, not gonna respond to the rest of your post simply because all you're doing is spewing more of your party philosophy. I'm not saying you're not entitled to it, I'm just saying that not everybody who parties at late-night electronic shows ascribes to such a philosophy, as you seem to claim they do.

[Erin]

^ I'm not trying to recapture my childhood - if I was I would be going to every rave and would be doing a silly amount of drugs, but I'm not. It's a very rare thing to see me out at any kind of club these days. That being said, again, I'm going to state that most people in this world would look at going to electronic events as a childish thing... that doesn't mean that it's my opinion - but my original comment was a general statement in regards to anyone that still went to raves - it was actually kind of a joke. I'm sure it made some people laugh - you however took it the wrong way and decided to have an argument about it (big surprise). And another thing, I think this argument is nothing without bringing up how often one is out at such events and how many drugs they are doing. Without that it's really just your statements vs mine. Kinda useless in my opinion.

By the way... even though I haven't met you, I don't lump you into the druggie raver group. Rest assured.

I said most people feel that way - not most people that still party feel that way. Please stand corrected.

[ebbomega]

No, you said you spoke for Sherwood. Pretty directly in fact. Also implied that you were speaking for me as well. Wanna see the quotes?

Wicked backpedal though.

Oh for the love of God!! What I was talking about when I said that specific quote was that we were all in agreement that "if dancing the night away means that you're grown up then I don't want to grow up". Don't pick out one line I said and twist it around to try and win an argument (that I think is a big waste of time).

I really wouldn't say that the average clientelle at OS is really that peter-pan. But I guess you're entitled to your opinion.

Where exactly is the rule that says that you're not allowed to be grown up and still dance all night? If that's the case, then fuck being grown up, I don't think I'll ever do that.

I agree with you. I refuse to grow up. The point is that being a grown up doesn't include going to 'all night dance parties' - and dancing till 4am is prob considered by most to be just that.

[ebbomega]

Yeah, you missed my point.

I don't refuse to grow up. I said "if that's the case then", not at all agreeing that that's the case. Brief introduction to logic: a falsehood implying a falsehood evaluates to true, as does a falsehood implying a truth. F'rinstance:

"If the sky is pink, then I'm a monkey's uncle" - True, because the sky isn't pink.

Thanks for the fix, dabs.

ohh grow up

I think you missed everything I was saying. But that's life on fnk I guess... Seems to happen all over the board.

Im dissapointed by the fact you got owned by caps filter :(

I thought you were better then that.

[Jonny Dubbs]

lol - so this is a city mandated dress code? wow.

I am assuming this only applies to events considered to be "all ages, all night dance events" ?

(sorry if this has been answered already, long thread, no time)
