to what Lake said earlier, comparing the recpetion 3rd & Main received as opposed to this project.......

if there was another mixed use project going in on the the corner of 4th & Main i think it would be welcomed. a car wash doesn't have the same appeal, i suppose.

speaking for myself, i have mixed feelings over a car wash going in (ultimatley i did sign the petition), but i wouldn't mind in the least if another mixed use project was going in.

our opinions are asked for. i think "entitlement"  is present when someone injects thier opinion about something when noone asked for it.

or something like that.

[fsu813]

Oh, well....i don't think anyone "deserves" anything in particular if that's the case.

[chris farley]

i agree FSU I do not think anyone said anything about deserving at all, it is just that opinions are not welcomed on the board apparently, might as well troll!

The overlay has nothing to do with this.  It is a city zoning issue.

[chris farley]

Sorry my bad

[fsu813]

i think it's just word choice.

i don't see expressing want you want, like, and hope for as 'entitlement'.

but i see what you're saying.

I think Matt's word choice actually hit the nail on the head.

There's always this attitude floating around of "Now that I moved in here, everything I don't like can move out." And almost always it's the same small group of people. Certainly qualifies as a sense of entitlement in my book.

Springfield isnt sure they want an older African American business owner to open his Car Wash on Main Street

And again, you categorize Springfield residents as being racist. As I pointed out in the previous thread that you made that claim, it's really ironic that all of these racists would move to the most diverse neighborhood that I know of in Jacksonville. Maybe they did it so they could hate their neighbors?

Listen Johnny, How does Silas being black make Springfield residents racist?

It sounds like you are projecting a bit.

Im glad to know that racism completely disappeared from the planet earlier this month, but apparently a few people didnt get the memo that this miracle has taken place.

It awesome and all, but I wonder why you keep repeating these outrageous lies about all of the residents of springfield, much less the outrageous lie that I (a resident of Springfield) have repeated it myself.

Maybe now that a miracle like the end of racism has occurred, we can work on a miracle of truthtelling!

Wow, speaking of projecting... Honestly, I can't believe I'm even responding to that... but here goes...

Who the hell said racism didn't exist? What lies have I said about residents or yourself? Your claims is right there in black and white where you say Springfield doesn't know if they want a black man to open a car wash. Seems very clear you are insinuating racism to be the reasoning. Again, as I said in another thread, many of those that oppose the car wash, I have spoken with. In debating the issue w/ them, race never seemed to be a factor (only within your comments). Their issues are valid concerns, right or wrong (lack of previous care/maintenance to the property, sound & traffic, etc...). You can spin this to paint whatever type of picture from here on though. I refuse to get into your pathetic little pissing matches. Have fun with that...

Well Johnny, as long as you guarantee that the world is now free of Racism, Im happy.

Thanks man.

Whew.  What a long strange trip that whole 'racism' thing was.

Im just glad its all over.

Johnny,

He has made a living on creating arguments and interest out-of-thin-air, often by provoking people. His comments don't have to be reasonable as long as they elicit a reaction.
