Welcome to Portland!

"Where's the liberal oasis everyone brags about? I haven't seen it yet."

Hey, dumbass, here's the thing: Setting aside the obvious fact that assholes (and their polar opposites) are EVERYWHERE, be it here or Oslo or Kabul or Ottawa, you also must consider that there are about 600,000 people living here, or about 4 times that number if you include those who reside just outside the city limits but who, for all intents and purposes, still pretty much 'live' here (work, eat, shop, use the public transportation system, etc.).

So, how many of them did you meet/observe before you came to your conclusion?

Are all Louisianans dumbasses like you?

Not the driver's call. He can't be disciplined for his discrimination, because of the Union, but Tri-Met can sure as hell be sued.

"Out-of-Towner stunned to learn that some skateboarders are assholes, p.9"

Not the driver's job and the skateboarder was illegally denied entry to the bus; it's legal to skate on the roads, and skaters are responsible for their own safety when doing so.

lousiana dude, here's an eye opener for you and every other pollyana fresh off the boat:

PDX leads the HEMISPHERE in cutting edge passive aggressive a-holish behavior modifications so nefarious that gender, race and political weaknesses hardly matter.

We challenge ourselves every single day to one-up our neighbor in just how much of a little dick we can be. Right up to the point where we get punched in the face but not quite that far.

And even better for a fatass loser civil servant doing a job a robot could do much better. That bus is pretty much a test lab for anything-goes in douchebag experimentation.

As our friend the bus driver demonstrated Reserving the Right to Deny Service actually means "I feel like God today and today is a day when God decides who gets on this bus and as God I get to basically tell this young lad to go fuck himself. Simply because i can"

So take my ACTIVE advice and get back on that boat and shove off. Your naive expectations certainly belie that you absolutely do not understand this place nor do you belong here.

The funny thing is, people who latch on to one outlier of an asshole (like this kid), and then proceed to paint the entire city with that brush like it's nothing, is much more Portland than this little dickhead could ever hope to be.

So you're fitting right in already. Congratulations.

Would've been a better story if the kid had screamed "I feel like I'm fucking Jack Black!"

Does Louisiana even have hills? I have to admit that even though I don't appreciate being buzzed by speeding skateboarders, for the most part, they do a very good job of navigating through a crowd. It's the bicyclists that are the biggest hazard to pedestrians, followed by drivers from third World countries like California.

Everybody ought to know what it's like to be black. Next time you haoles visit Hawaii, just spend a couple of hours to apply for a job. Go order a vanilla cone at McDonald's in Lihue.

At least you throw the word "privilege" around like a proud PNW-en-er! you're getting close, IA, to becoming an obnxious shitlicker without common sense.
12
Is it possible to be a NON-obnoxious shitlicker?
13
GEAUX form some realistic expectations, would you? I remember feeling disappointed because New Orleans smells like piss.
14
I always base my impressions of other cities on 20-25 year old skateboarders. They really represent the best that these cities offer.

Apparently you got us mixed up with the liberal oasis of Gresham, Oregon. We've been feeding off of their reputation for years. Check it out if you have the time.

Please wait...
