This is my big realization. That you people are just bored American assholes. You're not even footbaggers. You're just hackysackers that are good at footbag.
Footbag should be about something more than how to wipe your ass and eat your gf out. Call me CRAZY, but that's just my opinion.

Friendship is EARNED. Trust is EARNED.
You just weren't meant for footbag. Sorry.

if your life is closed up and hollow, theres people ive met only for a couple days, that i would do anything for if they asked me too (of course within reason) i call that friendship.
i guess people label freinds differently.
so obviously im not your friend, im just someone you know who plays footbag....
cool, i feel the same now, thank for the insight

I'm sorry, but I've never been 'friends' with any of you. I've met you at tournaments. I guess that's it. You people have a completely different concept of friendship than I do.
Friendship is going through things together, and is built over TIME. You meet someone once in your life and you call them your friend? Don't do that. You'll get screwed over time and time again until you learn the lesson.

I kick with Richie 3 times a week. He's a nice guy, and INSANELY good at footbag, and smart about it too. Is he my friend? No. We've never even hung out outside of shred.
Do we get along? Yeah, we crack jokes the whole time, we're 'friendly' to one another. Maybe someday we will be friends. Maybe through adversity, or maybe just over time. Who knows. But I'm not going to just start calling him my friend cuz I kick with him weekly. That would be assuming WAY too much on my part, and it wouldn't even be true.

And James, thank you AGAIN for lending me your car. It was a nice gesture on your part. One could say you were being a good Samaritan.
But kindness does come from strangers sometimes. You were a stranger, and you were helping me out. Thank you. You're not my friend, because we don't even know each other. You have NO idea who I am or what I've been through in my life. If someone asked 'Hey, do you know when Chris' birthday is?' You'd be like, 'No.' Not saying that's a qualifier, but you just don't know me bro. Hey, maybe we'll be friends one day, maybe not. It's really not even for me to decide. It just happens naturally over time I guess.

why the fuck would you do either one? who cares who you think is an asshole? you made it look like you were making a thread encouraging everyone to be nicer, but clearly you just wanted to call out a few footbaggers you consider assholes for whatever reason. doesnt that seem like kind of an asshole move itself?shredzilla wrote:I said Montrealers. Idk, they're French-Canadians that I've met at east coast tournaments. Look, I know those are generalizations, and that's my point. I can sit here and name every person I think is an asshole, or I can give you examples to look at. Which would you prefer Zeb?Zeb Jackson wrote:erik is from canada....i thought you said canadians were nice, plus hes always been nice to me, so ill just sit in the back with my pocorn and be quite
you apparently need to rename this thread.
actually i guess now that you've aired out your grudges perhaps this thread has served its purpose.
little tip, if you really wanted people to think you actually are interested in people being nicer to each other, using the thread you created about it to personally name the people you think are assholes. that never ever ever makes people feel like being nicer when you call them assholes (even if its just a generalization that includes them). crazy how that works

with how you act, why would someone want to try to be your friend? youre so busy pointing out everyone's faults and seperating yourself from the community, that you give no one a reason to respect you.
we dont really know what to expect from you, chris. one minute youre sticking up for someone... and the next minute youre talking down to that same person. im not saying this because i see it happening to other people, but because youve done that to me.
you have no reason to defend yourself... and that seems to be what every post you make is about. its like you want to have the last word, when just leaving things be would be more respectable. maybe you dont want our respect?... if thats the case then dont bother to defend yourself, because we dont matter to you.
a "friend" tells you when youre wrong. a "friend" calls you out on your shit, not to be rude, but to help you understand what to change. ive never met you... and when i do, im not going to be rude to you because youre not my friend... ill be friendly because thats more pleasant than being an ass.

But for everyone else here goes:
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Are you all aware of just how ungodly stupid and ignorant you're acting? People get tired of bullshit, it's simple, whether or not Chris has the right to call people out and start something like this isn't the problem. I agree with him 100% , there are a lot of assholes on this site. A site not meant for dumbass morons to run rampant belly itching and bashing others.
Why don't you all go and think about what you've said, and what other people have said. Think nice long and hard about it, and you'll realize just how god damned stupid you're acting.
As the universe is curved, there cannot be a straight answer...
