All

Can we just call a spade a spade, and admit that SMX is a complete failure and waste of time? Tracks and locations were not what was promised, and even people who care about Moto are not watching when there is College Football on a Saturday in the fall. There are better things to watch and do. Ill tune back in when its Anaheim 1.

I replied to Lewis Phillips post on X to speak about this subject tonight on Pulp.

They'll just fill those gates with more guys from the LCQ/Wildcard races. Until attendance and viewership takes a significant hit, they won't care.

As bad as times are, they have been much, much worse in the past. Bubonic Plague, anyone? World Wars? 1930’s depression? Each were exponentially worse than what we’re experiencing today. In fact, today is a relative sea of tranquility if you just put your phone down.

Respectfully, I can understand why he has that opinion. In your own words just three days ago, " I enjoy watching you and the others dance for me". If what he said couldn't be further from the truth, what is this fruedian slip about? We all need to start being more honest with ourselves. It is truth that really sets you free. Then we start actually getting somewhere ( that we might actually want to go).

Oh, I got issues! And I try to minimize their complexity whenever possible. It just ironic that the very thing used to help people with disabilities seems to routinely result in uncomfortable scenarios. On both sides. It’s similar to cyclists who complain about drivers. All the ranting about road laws is not going to change the situation, so ride at your own risk. Service dog owners will continue their awareness campaigns knowing full well that their arguments will fall on deaf ears. So like the cyclist, you leave the house with your radar on waiting for that nearly inevitable conversation...

Based on the input of the owners it sounds like service dogs are best at creating contentious situations. I have zero ADA knowledge but do know not to walk around with “Kick Me” taped to my back. At what point does constantly justifying your dog’s presence supersede the value? Getting in people’s face about ADA rights just seems exhausting.

I think the point of this entire thread is the morons who bring their non-service dogs into public places, right? Nobody has an issue at all with legit service animals...But because of ADA ambiguity and potential law suits businesses/employees are afraid to talk to anyone with a dog, so they don't talk to anyone and now people bringing their pets everywhere is getting out of hand...and now dogs are barking in the supermarket...pooping in restaurants (and those are just my experiences this year...I've got plenty more) And businesses are afraid to say anything. The fix is legit, government issued, hard...

I don't hate dogs...I actually have a ton of respect for well trained dogs, and the people who own/train well mannered dogs. Especially Service dogs, search and rescue dogs, law enforcement dogs, and even well trained hunting and herding dogs...it's impressive! And this isn't an attack on your dog...I'm sure your dog is great. But pets in public is just plain getting out of hand...I was at the grocery store just today, and someone's dog was barking at someone else's dog in the produce section...its ridiculous. Earlier this summer...outdoor seating at a restaurant in Park City, a dog takes a...

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You had a bad interaction and went straight to veiled threat of lawsuit. This is why the people you initially complained about have been able to run free. Whether or not you are technically right in your interaction or within your rights isn't really the point. Business owners down have the time, energy, resources etc to sort out who is ADA expert with legitimate service dog and who's an asshole with their pet, and since trying to figure it out gets you threatened with lawsuits, it basically becomes a matter of survival to...

Because 250 is broken. It doesn't develop the next generation. It encourages guys like Hampshire, Craig, Macadoo, and Kitchen who will never be top 450 guys to sit on spots that are needed to develop the next crop. SMX Next is what 250 was supposed to be.
