Silencer,

And that might be the essence the problem of many "youth" bowlers, competition in bowling = trash talking. Let your ball and your bowling do your talking.

YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG!!

dear teenagers and younger bowlers,

us "old guys" are not trying to infringe on your turf.  and trash talk is fine if that what turns  your crank . . .

however, if you want to be a smartass, i'll come right back at you along with alot of other posters.  this isn't an arguement, it's a promise.

the vast majority of responses to younger bowlers are constructive, not destructive in nature.  you should be mature enough to realize that.

think about it . . .

Yeah . .  It's OUR site, you're just lucky there's a youth forum.  You've got an entire site to yourself at www.varsitybowling.com.  Go over there, you won't have anybody bugging you.  Don't waste your . . typing . charlest, they don't care.  They're teenagers, not people.

trash talking has always been a part of bowling, and probably always will. i dont see anything wrong with it, i just respond the only way i know how, by stringing strikes together for a duece....and then talk a little sh*t myself


In case no one has read a word that has been written and only assume adults[/i[ can only criticize teens. No, I don't agree with Hamster that teens are not people. Teens are people.

My criticism was of teens acting like children, like spoiled babies that have to scream a temper tantrum of obscenties and insults to make sure other teens pay attention to them.

And, NO, trash talking has never been part of bowling. It has been part of a child's bahavior while bowling, but not a man's. And age is not a sign of being an adult; behavior is. Being 25 or 30 or 35 does not mean you're an adult; it only means you're old enough to know better.

Soon all teens wil be old enough to know better; but will you behave like an adult or remain a baby forever? That's up to you.

When my teen and pre-teen act like children, they are so treated.  So should always be the case.  Now get to bed children.

If you REALLY want to trash talk, then here's how to determine if you have the stuff.  (1)  Come to my home lanes;  (2) Bring money; (3) Let me put out PBA pattern A or B; (4) We bowl.  For real.  For money.  You talk trash.  I'll throw the ball; (5) See if you keep enough money to get home or if you have to borrow from me.

Ok Phillip you can bet with a minor, then you can go to jail to everyone else, you think being an "adult" is coming on our forum and believe it or not, you guys are "trash talking" to us about us being teenagers so technically your crossing your own words. Maybe we trash talk because unlike the "adults" we cant drink and make fools of ourselves when we bowl, we dont have sidepots, some tournies have brackets for scholarship, still not the same as bowling for money, it keeps it fun, alot of the adult leagues i know they talk a little trash also, ALL sports you do, it pushes the competition to do better and makes it more challenging, you think pro athletes dont talk trash, come on. We dont go into your boards and calling you non people, just "adults" you know we could easily start ruining your guys forums, but no we are acting "adult" about it and staying out of yours so stay out of ours, because if you come here then I guess as you all would say, your just creeping down to our level.

I just recently moved to mens league, and a majority of the ADULTS i bowl with trash talk, I let my bowling speak for itself, maybe give a gesture here and there.

I would have to agree with most of the youth that in YABA tourneys and such trash talking is a way of getting to know each other and have a little fun, no harm no foul.

Lets them be who they are and don't criticize them for it.

Let them be who they are?  What if they are serial killers?  This is silly.  Wrong behavior should be treated as such.  As wrong.  This "let everyone be" mentality is fine until they do something YOU don't approve of and then its "punish them."  Well, it is wrong to trash talk.  It is wrong to loudly say "ten pin, ten pin" as an opponent is in her delivery for the 10th.  It is wrong to be classless, clueless, crude, crass and catty.  And adults are the ones who should try to say it is wrong.

You see, allowing bad behavior or silly notions to go unchallenged gives them power and legitimacy.  When we allow someone to wrongly accuse another of a crime or of racism or to use racial insults because "they" have some special insight, we are saying that behavior is acceptable.  Except it isn't.  Nihilism is not an answer.  Anarchy is not preferable to rules and regulations.  Questioning rules and authority of part of growing up and learning.  Acting out is juvenile.  There is a difference.

I thought this was about trash talking, not trying to kill someone, you took this way out of context.  they were not talking about yelling stuff out when someone is bowling, just have a lively conversation before the tourney, some of you older bowlers need to lighten up a bit. i have great respect for all the older bowlers in my house, but they don't automatically get it because they are ADULTS, they get it by giving it, maybe some of you should try that!!

Dave, I was raised to respect my elders also, but i also feel to get respect you have to give it back, I'm not saying i treat the people who don't show me respect bad, i just don't give much merit to what they say to me.  As long as the person shows me respect i am more the happy to give it back.

I never said the way the youth were talking to the older bowlers was good, it was actually quite immature.  I simply said let them trash talk, for some its half the fun, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

Post by: Silencer on December 16, 2003, 06:38:55 PM
lol yes i believe in the whole treat "most" of your elders with respect, BUT, lets say an Adult is harrassing a kid, maybe raping him, but the kid still has 2 respect him because he is older, i dont respect those who dont respect me, people that dont respect me dont deserve mine. Us juniors may trash talk a ton on here but there isnt that much on the lanes, yea there is some, but its thet rash talking on here that makes everyone want to do so good and try harder to show off their game, it makes the title all that more better, if you want what your saying so bad go jump into the movie Pleasantville, what many adults dont see these days is that the world is CHANGING, everything is NOT the same as it was when they were kids, things are different, when you guys were kids your parents could like take a belt to you and you still have to respect them, now if my dad tok a belt to me i would have him in jail, what you adults should realise is we do what we want on here because its fun and harmless and hurts no one, you guys can stay out of our forum and never even hear a word again, and you guys better be nice to us, because when your old old, and your relying on us to take care of ya, we just might not do a good job, lol, later people

oh yea, good luck and lots of high scoring!

A lot of the adults are being very hypocritical right now, but whatever. I saw in the Miscellaneous Section about youths moving into the adult ranks, and some adults thinking think that the youths are coming up for a rude awakening. For a lot, yes, for others no way. For a lot that are going up soon, well, all I have to say is, it sucks for you! Anyways, talking crap on here and on the lanes or wherever is fun and makes bowling way more fun, and exciting. If you dont like what we are talking about, then go post somewhere else. Well I am out, see you all in Vegas, practice up. Oh yeah, I was just wondering. PDiddy, who are you?

Ok, teens might be people, but most of the ones I know don't act like it.  Lol, I was just trying to keep charlest's blood pressure down.  Some kids that try to trash talk just make me want to roll my eyes.  Just want to tell them to shut up and sit down cause they can't hack it.  I never talk trash, because I don't want to ever be in the position to have it thrown back in my face.  Lol, if I ever do trash talk, it's about myself.  I think this topic got a little stuffy.  If the kids want to trash talk just for the fun of it, why not?  Like they said, this is their forum, and we don't even have to pay attention to it.  Youths that are getting ready to move to ABC, don't worry about the adults.  If you're not intimidated by any of the top youths in your area, you don't have to worry about the adults either.  There's just more that are good.

I think these adults get all mad about us talking trash and say its totally wrong, maybe because they just dont got the game or cant handle the pressue of trash talking, so since they cant do it, its wrong

Really? Intimidated by trash talking?  Hmmm.  No, I don't THINK so.

It is, however, rude unless it is obviously done consensually in fun to and with a friend.  But so are many other things.

Yeah, lol, what's the big thing with trash talking?  That's all it is, just talking.  If you let somebody get into your head, you've gotta be pretty weak minded to begin with.  I don't remember it being about trash talking when I was a youth, it was about who could act dumber throwing a fit.

How long is that offer going to stand? I don't plan on getting kicked out of the YABA quite yet, but I am turning next fall. I'm always up for a "challenge". However, instead of bowling at YOUR home house, let's go somewhere where neither of us has bowled...fair challenge for the both of us.
