I think that saying is one of the dumbest defenses ever, and I am sick and tired of people using it.

Since this is a skiing website, I'll use the old skiing vs snowboarding "rivalry" as my example.

"park skiing wouldn't exist without snowboarding" which goes to: "snowboarding wouldn't exist without skiing", so I guess the next one would be "skiing wouldn't exist without, shit I don't know - the need for easy transportation in the winter?"




bottom line, the saying is really dumb and annoying as hell, because what it eventually all comes down to is this "without anything we'd still be sitting in a dark cave grunting to each other.


snow wouldn't exist without winter, so what's the fucking point.

not at this point, remember when new hampshire lost power for like 5 days?
people were buying generators for $500 at Home Depot and driving 2 hours to New Hampshire and selling them on the street for $2500.

Did you know the reason for such rapid spread of aids in Africa is due to the fact that they honestly think if they fuck young boys it would cure them of aids? No joke! hahahaha

You are very correct sir thing can be bolted together, but the welding process is used in making the bolts.

I got a book you gotta check out. It's called "One Man's Wilderness, An Alaskan Odyssey".

The book is the journal of a guy who built a cabin in the wilderness of Alaska. He brought with him tool heads and made his own handles on site, used logs from the area, built a fireplace with rocks from the area, etc, etc... The only outside supplies were cement for the fireplace, and tar for the roof. He COULD have succeeded without them, but he wasn't trying to prove anything to anyone and it made a world of difference for what he wanted.


Really good book, and I know that it really made me think about modern society and what we think we "NEED".

Heck yes.   I'm pretty sure a documentary had been made on that guy and aired on PBS.  If that stuff interests you too, you might also like the writings of Eric Sloane.  Two of his books I really like are "Seasons of American Past" and "Diary of an Early American Boy"
