Yo Quade.....relax dude, use a dictionary every now and then.
Caution, in the context it was used, means to advise to urge or heed. I'm just recommending that you read the forums. Yes, discussing is a good thing but the search function is a wonderful tool and doing some research on your own is not only a great way to learn but it keeps the old timers from flaming you because you don't want to do a little work. SegwayChat is an open forum for discussion but trust me....a little research goes a long way to proving ones worth. That's all I'm saying. Steven |

They aren't. Sure, there are some rich folks here but most are like you and me. Trying to make a living, trying to support their families. Don't think they are all rich (they aren't), don't think they all have oil coming out of their own wells (they don't). They really are just like you and me. Steven |

Wow.
First off, I live in the United States, and have stated that I do not see things as Quade does, although on some points he has made some good observations. I agree with Steven more than I don't, but I cannot visit him, as my life would be in jeopardy, because I am and my family is Jewish. I really do not know that much about the emerates, but I do know that, and it is enough. At any given point in my life, I have had many personality traits at work at the same time. I was a world class square dancer at the same time I was a liscensed Skydive instructor. SO? I am an old fuddy duddy on the Zoning board in my town, and I ride a segway at the same time. So? If Quade feels that polo is eletist, that is his right. If we don't agree, we can say so, that is our right. Personally, I feel this forum does better when it offers positive solutions, and some interesting insites, than when it attacks this person or that, or this country or that. Having said that, I rarely let a challenge go by without responding, so I am as guilty as the next... What I am trying to say is that we should stay on topic, or at least away from confusing the poster with the posting.

Jewish or not, you can still come here. It's only those folks who carry Israeli passports that are not normally allowed. Hell, you make the trip and you can stay at my house for free. Wine, Cigars, and Cognac included, btw. Quote:

Thank you for your offer. I am sure it is genuine. I will not go to a place that is supportive of genocide. Sorry. (You need not argue about the financial support that is well documented.) Not everyone has to have respect for other humans. Everyone has the right to feel as they do, and I will not say that my values are above others. I will say that I choose not to support those who do not share my very basic recognition that everyone has a right to live and pursue a good life for themselves and their family. Relax Steven. There is no rule that says I have to like your neighbors. You chose to live there, not me. I have not said anything against you, or your choice, just the policy of the country you live in... There are policies in other places that I do not respect as well.

Back to Shawn's video. I think it's excellent and will definitely broaden the appeal of the segway. I don't buy into it being ammunition for the anti-segway brigade. As Virginia Woolf said: If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged. More power to your elbow Shawn. |
