Yes, in my experience stuff focused tourists tend to be focused more on themselves than the detritus they leave behind. Yes, I am speaking my opinion.

Either it's your opinion or it's your experience. Make up your mind.

My mom was one of those people who collected miniature spoons everywhere we went on vacations. Simply to commemorate all the places we had traveled including national parks. And she was one who believed in leaving things in nature as you found it. Making generalizations about any group of people is part of what's wrong with our culture.

So does or does not eminent domain apply to our current discussion involving the further protections to our national parks or government lands? No it does not. In cases where it does we may agree. But going on some tangent ride on the Crazy Train about something totally unrelated to the topic at hand isn't a journey I will be taking with you.

Speaking from the view of everyone is impossible, and your thinking that you can is laughable.

I never said I was speaking for everyone. I said you were only speaking for yourself. A thinking person would easily understand the difference.


Experience and opinion go hand in hand. Both can apply.

I was only speaking for myself. Are people not allowed to speak for themselves now? You're the one that keeps trying to talk for everyone else.

Your mom did one thing. That doesn't mean it applies to everyone. I didn't say that it applied to all consumption oriented tourists, I mentioned the tendency that I have witnessed.

If we were restricted to talking about specific cases your argument would suck a bit less. The topic is "Our National Parks." Eminent domain was involved in parks. It's still possible. How is that unrelated? The only craziness in here is the insanity of my expecting a different result when trying to have a productive conversation when you're involved.

Eminent domain is not involved in any of the portions of these stories. None. Are you now going to post the entire history of our national parks and claim it is relevant to the discussion that we were having? Bait and switch con games are obvious to thinking people. So is seeing people trying to to veer the conversation away from the actual topic to derail it from its intent. It's not the masterful craft you obviously think it is.

It's unrelated to what we were discussing. And actually you know that and seem to be playing the role of a troll at this point.

Bringing up, "Yeah but eminent domain happened several decades ago so let's talk about that" isn't any sort of attempt at trying to have a productive conversation.

How many hikers do you know? You know, those people who buy T-Shirts to commemorate their travels to the places they hike to commemorate their journeys. They too must be out their just trampling up the forests and polluting them. You've been hopping from place to place like a rabbit trying to evade a fox since this thing started and it's not getting any better for you.
