I feel everyone and anyone has a right to go to the club,,,,assuming you dont start fights or anything dumb like that.....what gives anyone a right to say they can party and then say the person next to them can not? Pretension. |
wat does plur mean? i never heard that before

| Originally posted by Krysta_101 I am by no means saying they don't deserve to party, I am merely stating that they need to gain a broader scope of the scene. Thus, get educated and stop being idiots. I do realize that club kids started the American scene (what there is of it). I do respect them for this. |

| Originally posted by tiesto14 I can say the same about every kid i see at a Tiesto show now a days....no matter which way they dres. Matter of fact i would say that applys more to chics that look like you. Again i can say the same about kids like you. I remember 5 years ago seeing Tiesto in NYC and the crowd was cool...all Tiesto fans...NOW when i go see him in NYC there is a bunch of juice heads and chics that look like you swarming around.... I do not think it has to do with the way a person dresses...or what "click" u want to categroize them in....i think you are being a tad prejudice. |

| Originally posted by Floorfiller now are these the people that you are refering to when you say the old skool "clubkids"? obviously not. |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Floorfiller maybe she didn't say what she was thinking in a way that you could understand it, but i'm positive that her point is that these kids are underaged...immature...and really most likely just hanging around the clubs to rebel against mommy and daddy. |

| Originally posted by Floorfiller now when you throw a bunch of these little kids into a club with adults...what is that going to do for the scene? absolutely nothing. i don't know about everyone else, but i don't wanna be dancing in a club with a bunch of little kids in it. the point that krysta was making as far as her appearance goes was that basically she is going out to have a great time with friends and they dress nice whatever, but the important thing is that they are adults and don't act like little kids. |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Floorfiller now i look at that pic you posted from europe...what is different between those club kids and the ones she posted. well, the ones you posted are adults and have probably been clubbing forever...hence as you said...old skool club kids. that's cool...if that's their lifestyle i don't think anyone is gonna give a fuck, but the pic that krysta posted shows a bunch of kids that are in the midst of some phase of teenage angst...and will most likely grow out of it in a couple of years.united states...its hard for a club to grow in size and popularity... |

| Originally posted by Floorfiller really i think it just comes down to maturity. |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Floorfiller krysta is saying that she doesn't want a bunch of little kids in the clubs...and i agree. and what i've been trying to say...which i'll say again because i know you've been avoiding it...is that these kids put a stigma on EDM in america. when you here about raves or something on tv...it comes with the stigma that its a bunhc of 16 year olds...doing drugs...and listening to this wierd "techno" music. as long as there is that stigma in the united states...its hard for a club to grow in size and popularity... |

| The $252 million man Why does every single story about Alex Rodriguez have to mention the Rangers star's salary? - - - - - - - - - - - - By King Kaufman April 17, 2001 | Write down this date: May 9. That's when it'll happen. That's Tax Liberation Day -- you'll have to work from New Year's Day to that date to earn the money you'll pay in taxes next year, if you're in the United States and you're typical. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Print story E-mail story -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm doing is making a fearless prediction: May 9 will be the first time you will read a story about Alex Rodriguez that doesn't mention his salary, which, in case you haven't heard, is $252 million over 10 years. On Friday in Oakland, Calif., Rodriguez (who signed a $252 million, 10-year contract this off-season with the Texas Rangers) hit his first home run of the year. "Rodriguez hit a solo shot to center off Mike Magnante in the fourth," wrote the Associated Press. "'It was nice to get it out of the way,' said Rodriguez, who signed a 10-year deal with the Rangers in the off-season worth $252 million." Here's the San Francisco Chronicle, on the same game: "The Rangers racked up eight runs against [Cory] Lidle, and later, the $252 Million Dollar Man, Alex Rodriguez, recorded his first homer with his new team, as Texas crushed Oakland 13-1, for the A's fifth loss in a row." Also in the news over the weekend: Vice President Dick Cheney's income tax returns show he made $36 million last year. For A-Rod to make that much money -- his salary averages out to $25.2 million a year, or $155,555.56 a game -- he would have to play an extra 69 games and into the middle innings of a 70th. And yet, somehow, I doubt every newspaper story that mentions Cheney in the coming months will include the words "Cheney, who made $36 million last year ..." President Bush, by the way, made $894,880, nowhere near what either Cheney or Rodriguez pulled in, though both of them could argue, as Babe Ruth once did, that they "had a better year." On Saturday, Rodriguez -- who will average $25.2 million a year for the next 10 years -- had an even bigger game, driving in six runs in another Rangers win. "The Oakland Athletics overcame an eight-run deficit but could not overcome baseball's highest-paid player," wrote the Sportsticker news service. "Signed to a 10-year, $252 million contract in the off-season, Rodriguez enjoyed his biggest game of the young campaign." The Rangers swept the A's with another high-scoring win Sunday, thanks in no small part to Rodriguez, baseball's highest-paid player at $25.2 million a year. Here's the AP lead: "To Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez might be underpaid, even with his record $252 million contract. "'He's pretty phenomenal,' the A's first baseman and last season's AL MVP said. 'We made him look like he's worth about $300 million.'" (See, Giambi was referring to Rodriguez's $252 million contract there.) Last month, regulatory filings showed that Bank One Corp. paid its CEO, Jamie Dimon, $29.8 million last year. Dimon worked for the company for eight months. A Nexis search Monday revealed that Dimon's name has appeared in stories in nine major newspapers on four different days since April 1. Not one of them mentioned his salary, which, prorated, is $44.7 million a year, or 77 percent higher than Rodriguez's salary -- $25.2 million a year, as you might know. On Monday, Rodriguez brought his money and his Rangers teammates to Seattle to play the Mariners, for whom he played from 1994 through last year, before leaving to sign a $252 million contract with the Rangers this off-season. The AP: "The Mariners aren't planning a warm welcome for Alex Rodriguez when he returns to Seattle for the first time since signing a $252 million contract with Texas. " The Chronicle: "Alex Rodriguez left the Coliseum last night en route to Seattle for the first time since leaving the Mariners for a $252 million deal with Texas." The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "STORY LINE: Hello, Alex. This is Alex Rodriguez's first series in Seattle since leaving the Mariners to sign with the Rangers for a major league record $252 million. All other story lines pale by comparison." According to Forbes, George Lucas makes $250 million a year. Oprah Winfrey makes $150 million. Bruce Willis? $70 million. They're all in the entertainment business, just like Rodriguez ($25.2 million), but most stories about them don't mention those figures. Did you know that Martin Lawrence -- Martin Lawrence! -- makes $33 million? Narrowing the focus to sports figures, we find race car driver Michael Schumacher ($59 million), golfer Tiger Woods ($53 million) and boxer Mike Tyson ($48 million) all making way more than A-Rod ($25.2 million). Want to know who's in Rodriguez's low-rent neighborhood? Keanu Reeves ($25.5 million), the Dixie Chicks ($25 million, though they have to split it three ways, presumably) and Rosie O'Donnell ($25 million). I can't remember the last time I read about any of these people's salaries. Alex Rodriguez is baseball's highest paid player. For now. Can we all please get over it? He's widely considered the top performer in an unbelievably lucrative profession. He makes what the market will bear, and the market will bear a whole big swingin' heck of a lot right now. Two hundred fifty-two million dollars over 10 years to be exact. Now shut up about it already. |
Mhm...
And someone has a problem with me, heh, who doesn't these days?
