Kid_Icarus 0 #26 February 22, 2006 I vote for a 182 boogie -where everyone has their own 182, waiting just for you , whenever you want to jump. You could organize 20 way plane jumps and stuff.... or 1 jump wonder boogie. 1 jump, that's all you get to make. The rest of the time is filled with beer drinking, stupid human tricks, good music, rousting the locals and titty flashing.... ________________________________________ "What What.....

rehmwa 2 #27 February 22, 2006 Quote>Woah. OK, maybe not. I'd prefer a boogie like the gay boogie where all are welcome and there are no exclusive rules like that. I don't know. It's an atheist boogie. religious types are welcome, but we need to celebrate and respect the atheists. that means those religious types can attend, but it would be disrepectful to preach or pray right in front of the atheists. It's not a restriction, but the peer pressure to not be in-your-face in any 'anti-atheist' way would be considerable. {{it's not really analogous to the gay boogie, as two straight people holding hands won't bother anyone. maybe anti-gay speeches would be analogous to pulpit pounding at an atheist boogie. In both cases it wouldn't be respectful at all. Then the thread could disgress to a freedom of speech thread instead of a subculture analogy thread}} ...

NWFlyer 2 #29 February 22, 2006 QuoteI wanted to, but I don't have the time right now. Someday though, I'd like to start one ( or have someone else start one) Fair enough... I do appreciate that we're all busy. But I also respect the hell out of Mark and anyone else who puts their effort and energy into organizing a boogie rather than just saying "Gosh I wish someone would ..." and then bitching when no one does... or when someone organizes something different because that's what *they* were motivated to organize. I used to organize events for my alumni club. We charged no dues to members, and any event that we charged for covered costs only (ergo, no one was, in any way, "paying" for my services). If I got any bitching about "Why doesn't the club ever do [whatever]?" my reponse was always the same. "I am always glad to have help organizing events. I'm here to help you reach our members and publicize the event, just let me know when you'd like to have it." Guess what ... I never got much help and the events reflected what I had the time/energy/interest in organizing. Talk is cheap."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? There will be straight people hitting on women at the gay boogie. No one will be bothered by that. Why would atheists be bothered by people praying? No atheist that I know of is bugged by someone who prays. >It's not a restriction, but the peer pressure to not be in-your-face in >any 'anti-atheist' way would be considerable. Ah, so I misunderstood. No problem then - let em pray if they want, or if they prefer to 'blend in' and not pray, that's fine too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd go; would attract interesting peopler. >No one will be allowed to pray . . . Woah. OK, maybe not. I'd prefer a boogie like the gay boogie where all are welcome and there are no exclusive rules like that. Um, fine. But I mean, what's the point of calling it an Atheist Boogie if people are going to do religious things? What's the point of calling something a Gay Boogie if it'll be just the same old people who'd be there anyway if it were not specified gay? When the argument is raised that the gays should have a day when they can flirt more effectively because normally it's 10-to-1 straight/gay, and then they have a boogie where straight people are once again likely to outnumber them the same as they always do, I don't see the point. It seems that the wide-open invitation itself is what undoes the point of the specific kind of boogie... --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Same reason some people do RW at freefly boogies - because they like to. Same reason some people spend most of their time at the WFFC partying instead of skydiving, even though it's called the World Freefall Convention and not the World Party Convention. Come to think of it, I spent a whole day at WFFC last year doing hop and pops! At the world FREEFALL convention! And so did about 50 other people! Yet they still have the nerve to call it the WFFC . . . >What's the point of calling something a Gay Boogie if it'll be just the >same old people who'd be there anyway if it were not specified gay? It will be the same old people plus more people there specifically for the event. Most boogies are like that, no matter what they are called. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How on earth could an invitation that says "WE" can experiment possibly be a threat of rape? It doesn't even explicitly mention using anything that belongs to me.
