the grand government conspiracy continues. Clearly, Obama and his cronies have now teamed up with the legendary LA Board of Supervisors. Pretty soon we wont be allowed to dump our old motor oil in the river anymore, either.


Hey, WF, did you ever think maybe alot of people complained about being hit by flying shit on a crowded public beach in the peak of tourist season? Maybe, ya know, THE PEOPLE spoke up at a board of supervisors meeting.

What the fuck is board of supervisors? is that some faggot west coast way to say town or city council?

Of course you would be for this. Anything your overlords in any layer of government propose you are in favor of.

People might get hit at parks so should parks be in the ban also?

How about we ban baseball due to someone getting bonked by a line drive foul ball

What does this have to do with Obama? Or maybe you want a federal law so it covers every beach and waterfront area.

[Jujubees2]

First they came for the frisbees,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a frisbee player.

Then they came for the footballs,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a football player.

Then they came for the beer,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a beer drinker.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

a couple things. first of all, i didnt say i was for this. i just posed you a question, which you did not answer.

Ill address this nonsense. First of, baseball. You have a waiver on your ticket. you consent to that when you enter the park so you cannot take legal action.

As for parks, again, i didnt say i was for this. However, if people complained, and it was put to a vote, and passed, then there is nothing i can do. so if people wanted it banned at the park, then thats life.

Instead of assuming nonsense, why didnt you actually just answer the question i asked you in the first place. I never said i was for or against anything, just asked you a question.

Ill try again, here is another question. If you hate things so fuckin much, why dont you move?

So the Board can vote without input from the people? Does a couple of complaints verify draconian laws like this? Are people INTENTIONALLY throwing frisbees at people on a grand scale?

Thankfully I dont live in CA but like with everything else this can spread like a cancer across the country.

[CountryBob]

Funny thing, the only place I see arguments or personal attacks is in the sports or political threads.

You all need to enjoy the calmness vibe that the listening thread provides. And lower your blood pressure a little. :smoke:

did you even read my posts? I said maybe people went to the board and complained, and enough people did that it was voted on. Also, they will have areas where you CAN do it. You just cant randomly do it anywhere. Its been that way on our beaches since you first went to one. So relax

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Lifeguards will be turned into law enforcement officers.


As with every other fucking ridicuous law passed since 2007. Another reason why it was passed is due to the recession. Municipalities need to raise revenue with a lower tax base.

This is just another money making venture for local gov't

Your ability to answer a quoted post without having anything to do with said quoted post is astounding.

Do you just type up an answer, and then just randomly quote a post and put it after it?

maybe it wasnt all of the sudden maybe it was over time and they are now voting on it because this has been an ongoing issue?

I still believe its a way to raise revenue. So Cal has been battered by foreclosures, loss of tax revenue so they are finding new ways to collect

New Beach boys song


We'll have fun fun fun till the lifeguards take the frisbee awaty

[deliciousV]

Oh am I a hypocrite, I always hate govt sticking their nose into anything.....BUT....I can see this one. I go to the beach probably 4 to 5 days a week in the spring and summer, and I fucking hate footballs and baseballs on the beach, those things hurt, dumb shits throwing a hard ass baseball back and forth, they always miss at some point and now a hard ass baseball hits somebody, the same with a football. Frisbee's don't bother me.

which is why, htough WF seems to ignore the fact, that they made designated areas on the beaches for those activities. basically this law says you cant do it randomly. you have to move to the areas they set up with no bathers

[brettmojo]

Seems pretty reasonable to me... (http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19937126)

The title of this thread is grossly misleading... Not surprising.

The new ordinance declares that anyone can kick a ball or swat a tennis ball anywhere on the beach during the winter.

When beaches are crowded in the summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, lifeguards will designate areas where the games can be played "generally away from the crowd," Kreimann said.

Lifeguards can stop a game if it threatens safety in crowded areas. They can give a ticket to people who ignore them.

But as far as the $1,000 fines the media reported for kicking a ball, that also was wrong.

A first infraction for playing in the nondesignated area can be up to $100. A second infraction is $200, and a third can be up to $500 in a 12-month period.


yea, what a terrible awful thing. the same terrible awful thing every NJ and NY beach have had since the first time i went to the fuckin thing.

WF, why should you be allowed to play ball in the middle of a crowd of bathers? i still dont get that

Complain to NBC news for reporting the wrong amount for fines.

I did post that the law was for btwn memorial and labor day.


Like I said. Revenue is down they need to collect money in newer ways.

Ive never seen anyone play in btwn a crowd


And with all the fiscal/financial problems CA has they have to worry about what goes on at the beach?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

This is a racist law especially against latinos. CA is home to hard working immigrants from Mexico and Central America and they play soccer. These people are having their rights violated. They should seek an exemption from this racist law.

did you even read what i posted? they just moved it to designated areas. you are still allowed to do it. and the fine is like 100 bucks and its only if you are dangerous to people you fuckin idiot. read stuff

[PapaBear]

Maybe he'd read your posts, if you just posted links to your posts. :innocent:

In other words We have no money and we are looking for it anyway we can

Blacks dont go to the beach. What does Obama have to do with it?

[Jujubees2]

Yeah WF, it's all about the money

"We don't go out and look for violators," he said. "We've never issued a ticket. We've never done that. We understand that people like to recreate differently. We encourage that. That's what the beaches are for."

Damn Commie pinkos. Taking away my right to go naked at the beach and practice my target shooting:

The ordinance does have some $1,000 fines written into it. You can't be nude, shoot a gun or swim or surf in hazardous conditions or prohibited areas.

[Snoogans]

Yes I did. But did you read what I posted?


In other words We have no money and we are looking for it anyway we can
by never having given a fine and by setting up areas to allow people to do what you said was universally banned? yea, huge money grab

dude, after the shit you have spouted (racism ignored) i really think you have NEVER been to the beach.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Well with the bad economy they have to raise revenue somehow.


You might need that assault weapon when youre in Cancun. Just go to the DoJ. I hear they have a program that sells them.

So they never will? Municipalities have no money. Ive noticed since the recession started there are more seatbelt /DWI Checks plus new laws regarding motorists for example in NY now you need to move over on the pkwy if theres a tow truck behind you, if not I think the summons starts at $250

In regards to beaches, maybe orchard beach

They have that law on all Jersey beaches? Im not being a smartass, I really dont know. For 35 years Ive been going to beaches in Margate, Wildwood and Sea Isle City and we just tossed around a football or fruisbee wherever we wanted. Never seen anything said to anyone. Dont get me wrong we didnt play right in the middle of the crowd, but we'd either walk closer to the water or a little behind the blankets, but there was no designated area that I ever saw. The only designated areas Ive seen are for volleyball, because thats where they set up the nets.

those basically are the designated areas. they arent marked, but if its clear they dont fuck with you. if you go by the crowds and do it they will make you stop or kick you out. thats basiclaly what LA is gonna do

We have the same thing in CT, as well as a ban on all kiteboarding. As long as you don't have a ton of kites setup and taking up the beach and are generally respectful most people like to watch kiteboarders. I've had unrelated people argue (successfully) with park rangers who were waiting for us to get in so they could kick us out on multiple occasions.
