Should the PLAYERSas they call themselves, be thankful for the BANGERS

[Jimmy M.]

The bottom line of the conversation was we both agreed that with out the social players, lesser skilled players, or as some like to call the bangers.

Do Pool need these social players, lesser skilled players, or as some like to call the bangers to continue to stay alive at the level it is at today?

Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?

 

[Cornerman]

Yes.

In fact, all players who believe there are other players beneath them in skill set should face the west at sunset every day and say a prayer of humility as thanks to all banger brethren.

Fred <~~~ only has to face east

Which better players look down on the lesser players? Any person who looks up, or down, to someone based solely on their skill level on a pool table has issues that go beyond their opinion on whether or not pool needs "the bangers". This conversation of yours sounds imaginary. The better players are "in a constant state of poking fun at the bangers"? Seriously. Just lay off the chronic, man. It ain't doing you any favors.

Believe it or not, "the better players", as you keep referring to them as, have little interest in watching the social players play, and even less interest in sitting there, watching them play, and bothering to poke fun at them! If there are any players out there that do that, I would just chalk that up to an individual case of someone with ridiculously low self-esteem grasping at something to make themselves feel better (either that or just an individual case of someone being an idiot).

It's totally obvious that you harbor some sort of negative feelings toward "the better players", and any opinions they may have. That's why you keep starting these pointed threads that pit "the better players" against "the lesser players".

Whether or not someone looks down on "the lesser players" has nothing to do with how that person plays themselves. Trust me, there are some people, right here in Phoenix no less, that seem to value people based on their pool games while, ironically, they don't play very good themselves.

So, just to answer the original question of, "does pool need the bangers?"; Is there anyone out there who really thinks that there would be a pool industry if not for the recreational players? The top players probably represent less than 1% of the pool playing population. If anyone is so delusional that they think an industry can survive on less than 1% of its participants, does anyone even care what they think?

Perfect post in every sense....A++++++,would read again!!

Rep to you sir.

I Love "bangers" I get free beer and money when ever i go out to the bars..lol

But i do remember the first couple years i really got into pool and i look back at myself then when i thought i was "AWESOME".
I had no idea what was out there.

I am so humbled now.(about 7 years later)

I love showing the "bangers" or beginners tips and the difference between the way I vs them would shoot a shot.(but not telling them that their way is wrong, just opening thier eyes to other ideas)
and that if they keep playing they will probably get 'addicted' to the game like i did. AND get BETTER at the game

Bruce,
Please start a thread on every thought that comes into your head that may be semi-pool related.

Waiting...

Oh, there we have it. Thank you.

Hanging a label like "Banger" on someone is a relative term. A Banger to you may be a pro to me. I am sure you can find Efren curled up in a ball in some corner laughing his ass off at Earl thinking "What a banger, this guy can't play a lick".

To answer your question, yes we need everyone we can to get involved.

 

[Jimmy M.]

You guys are on topic while there's a clear hijack attempt in progress. Let me try to help here ...

Do you think the bangers should be allowed to smoke?

IF it is the OP's herb, then yes

 

[Johnnyt]

We were all bangers at one time. Johnnyt

 

[BRKNRUN]

Well its a good thing I am only a "borderline banger"....at least they are not "constantly" poking fun at me.......But I always knew those top players were watching me.....


For my real response......just re-read the response on post #12...especially the first line.


actually what every reply should have been was...


I did not want you to think that I did not read your thread, but I did not feel it worthy of a reply

First, why is Efren curled up in a ball? Is he a cat?

Second, I hope the "Earl" you speak of is not Stickland.

Are the BANGERS Democrats or Republicans (AND WHY)?

Do the "PLAYERSas they call themselves" believe in GOD (AND WHY)?

Does a dyslexic atheist believe in Dog?

And, last but not least, does a dyslexic, agnostic insomniac stay up all night wondering if there really is a Dog?

Wow - those are all excellent questions.

[TXsouthpaw]

maybe the bangers should be thankful for the players. Otherwise who would show them how to shoot and how not to be banger anymore.

This ranks up there with some of the more ridiculous posts you've made; and that's saying something.

TAP TAP MOTHA****ING TAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only clicked on this thread due to length, I'm somewhat UNsurprised that it's another worthless one by the unbanned Bruce S. DeNit....

 

[breaknrun]

TAP TAP MOTHA****ING TAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Cowboy, you should be thankful if you can BANGER, because after what I just read your not getting any tail in this forum.

 

[Bad Company]

Hmmm, all very valid questions. Here are my thoughts, in order of appearance...

- Bangers = Both Dems. and Reps., but probably not registered independents. OMG, stay away from registered independents... shifty characters the lot of them.
- Yes they do, but Michael Jordan doesn't play pool, just mostly golf these days, so their pool prayers usually go unanswered.
- No, a dyslexic atheist does not believe in Dog as there is no Dog.
- And finally... No. A dyslexic, agnostic insomniac stays up all day knowing there is one Dog only. They've got everything backwards.

Ray <-- registered independent

Edit #1: Wow... I really need to stop posting after being awake for 24 hours, I can't even make sense of my own post!
Edit #2: Why does BrokebackCowboy have to start a thread about every mundane detail that pops into his head when he already knows the answer?
Edit #3: Who is Bruce? When I think of what he looks like I always imagine Sid the Sloth from the Ice Age movies. Is that weird?
Edit #4: ZZZzzzzzzzz...........
