I know when you are 13 to apparently now 30, that you have to be connected to the social world and the whole world revolves around you. You stand there, head bent over the soft glow of your smartphone. BUT FOR F*CK SAKES do you have to be standing in the middle of the Oval during public skate? Not just 1 or 2 of you over to the side OUT OF THE way, but nearly 20 of you all at once! Speckled across the ice causing blockages and drifting in the wind and nearly knocking skaters over as they try to avoid you. “Oops sorry.” You giggle cutely with your bashful eye lash batting.
Put your phones away and pay attention to friends you came with and enjoy ACTUAL people. You might even meet someone new! —Just Trying To Skate

  1. Well if they get mowed down by the skaters guess who will be the first to cry???? yup the button pushers.

  2. It would only take a couple of them being hip checked out of the way before they got the message. Especially if you broke one of their smart phones in the process.

  3. Harper, a quote from you from earlier today, “Noone ever has the right to to try and intentionally harm anyone else. Especially when it’s for something as cheap as a few laughs.” Onto the topic of the Bitch now. I’m wondering where the school aspect comes into play. Were they skipping school at the time? But if the smartphone was giving off a glow I would assume it was after sunset.

    PS, I love you- and the Beatles song plays in my head everytime we correspond.

  4. I was trying to figure out why you said “Noone ever has the right to to try and intentionally harm anyone else” to me, but then you say “It would only take a couple of them being hip checked out of the way before they got the message.” Smashing your skull on the ice in my opinion would do more damage than half a water bottle to the back of the head, but you call me an asshole for something that didn’t happen. I looked up hypocrite to extend my vocabulary and this situation just doesn’t make sense. What are your thoughts? Maybe we can finally be friends now? And judging by the amount of dislikes we’re both getting, I’d say people are tired of us fighting and want us to move on. Our quarrel has gotten old and annoying. I apologize, and I’m only argumentative online, its weird.

  5. Sonic, Harper loves to fight. Then again, so do you. Perhaps you two are one and the same???? Impersonators. Yes this bitch line is full of them. they can’t decide WHO they want to be. Sad, really.

  6. Woggers; Speaking of people who can’t decide who they want to be, have you actually read the bible? I come from a religious family and you remind me of the hypocrites that always sit in the front pew as a status symbol. Good of you to spread the teachings of the “lord” when its convenient.

  7. op this post is creepy. You sound like a creeper, describing children this way.

    That aside, you’ve obviously never heard of clotheslining.

    Oops. Sorry.

    tee hee motherfuckers.

  8. That stupid Oval pisses me off. I just got my property tax bill for this year, and as a “resident of HRM” (who is 30 minutes from your stinking city), it is not a pleasing thought that I have to pay for your recreation. Ever hear of finding a frozen lake, or a hike in the woods?

    Maybe join me next year for some good ole stomping through the woods with a hi-power rifle for a nice hunt.

    I don’t want to pay for your buses either. But I do.

    Gimme my *^%$^& cash back!

    I am proposing that the skating oval be turned into a dog track, where punters can make a few coin, and the losing dogs can fight it out in the pit.

    Free market solution baby.
