And we have a winner! If you ever want to see society hill's elite strung out, just go to weekday happy hour at the dodger-I think they're too lazy to walk any further.

[quote=eldondre;780950]now that's just ridiculous.

As to the LCB, I don't care which law you talk about breaking, buying booze or killing someone. If the society sets a law you need to follow it for the common good until overturned by society.

Also, I believe the majority of Society Hill people are wealthier because they and their ancestors have worked harder and smarter their entire lives. Slackers find that and facts ridiculous.

Thanks Tim. Sorry I ever brought up the subject, just checking on a rumor I overheard at Kildare's bar. It's not really important.

Good luck fixing your troubles with the place, I'm outta here, had bigger troubles out in University City not too long ago, that's how I knew of the Task Force.

Gonna go toke up my bong a while.

Oh boy. There isn't an "common good" in a leftover law from the prohibition age of this country.

I was in there Saturday night and saw the owner and in chatting with the employees of Zot no mention or sign was made of an impending closing. In fact the place was crawling with people until 2am as there was a party upstairs. I could see why it would bother people having Zot next door, in particular the smokers congregating out front but that's a problem everywhere now not just Zot and you won't get much sympathy from CC'ers on that topic.

Paris Hilton's family worked "harder and smarter". She's still a scumbag.

Wealth does not buy class nor does it preclude one from being "a slacker".

No, it does not, but it certainly helps. That being said, I wish I had the money to decide whether or not I wanted to be lazy or ambitious.

aside from the fact it says "reported" (people often claim they were drunk or high because they perceive that the crime will be more forgivable if they were "not in their right mind" nor, more importantly, does it say 50% of people who drink alcohol or imbibe drugs commit crimes. Your stats are worthless.

I can tell we're not going to like each nor will I respect your opinion. I'm am American, you're a royalist. In case you missed the revolution, colonialism, or prohibition, Americans don't follow stupid laws well and once has to wonder what level of intelligence is required to subjugate oneself to them, esp intellectually as you have.

slackers probably describes society hill people as well as anyone else. facts are things you seem uncomfortable with...like the fact that wealthy people living in your neighborhood are doing drugs and not committing other crimes. wealth comes from a a number of things, but because someone's grandfather worked hard it is irrelevant to the respectability of the grand child.

I'll give you a hint-anytime Society Hill Civic Ass-ociation needs to fight a big bad developer who wants to build something, who do they call for a handout? Richard Cohen. Who's Richard Cohen you say? He is a society hill resident that owns the largest porno ring in all of internetdom, which also has ties to escort service websites and other things that spell c-l-a-s-s-y.
