jimmy689 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) I am new to geocaching and it never entered my mind that it could ever be illegal. What is the harm in hiding tupperware containers ten feet off a marked trail. I kayak local rivers and an amazed by all the garbage that is floating in them. If the environmental extremists want to do something useful, then go after the real polluters. Instead of using the website to confiscate caches, use it as a guideline or a route for picking up garbage in our great state of New Jersey. Edited November 22, 2003 by jimmy689 Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Just picking up trash doesn't create the drama that sub intelligent people need to feel important. Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Things like the *cough*Patriot Act*cough*, breathing too hard when running will be punishable by a $250,000 fine and 25-to-life. Seriously though...there are some narrow-minded souls out there who want nothing more than to spoil the fun of others that they don't have the capacity to enjoy themselves. Quote Link to comment

jimmy689 Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 I would be willing to bet. The politicians who govern public lands have never seen the forest or woods they make decisions about. When you live your life in a protected a bubble, you have no clue what people do for relaxation. You also have no clue as to the enviromental impact of that activity. In this case there is no impact at all. The rich govern, the poor suffer.That sucks! Quote Link to comment

+CO Admin Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Jomarac, please explain. For you youngsters: Godwin's Law prov. [usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful. Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) Oh hell, if the thread goes on long enough the probability of Vespas being mentioned approaches one. Plus given world enough and time, a thread that drifts off topic will find it's way back on topic. Plus if you have 10,000 monkeys typing on 10,000 keyboards for 10,000 years they too will name off Nazi and Hitler a time or two. Odds also approache one that one of the monkeys will be naked.

So..... this means that Rush's arguments about the democrats has is a dead topic? That must be the longest running dead topic out there. Sorta like some sort of topic zombie that won't stay dead, or my grandma's fruitcake for that matter... no matter how long it's been around, it's never going away. Hey, that'd be a nifty-tom-ffty topic, "What have you used a fruitcake for(aside from acctualy eating it)" Quote Link to comment
Cholo Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 , then go after the real polluters. Relax, O.J. is working on it. Quote Link to comment
+woodsters Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) Funny how when someone doesn't allow something, they become nazi's. First of all we elect those that can make changes with the government run agencies. The direct people we speak to may be a hired person, but trust me, if you keep going up, there's a politician somewhere. I think another approach, rather than place it first then take the chance of it getting banned, that there should be more of an offensive measure taken with geocaching. Before placing a cache, go and speak with the people first that own or run the land. Listen to their concerns and offer solutions. Even debate it if you want to. Once again, go above the person you talked to. It will sure offer a better relationship with the agency or people, as well as save some heartache, time of placing a cache, and jailtime as well...

+Doc-Dean Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) I was wondering why I didn't see the reference in the first post! Did anyone see Doonsbury recently, their "avatar" for Gov. Schwarzenegar is a giant hand and his name is Gropenfurer. I guess that's the end of Doonsbury too then... Edited November 23, 2003 by Doc-Dean Quote Link to comment
