Maybe it should be Beginner's Guide to New DENVER people? Anyway, if they guy is a "native" I guess he's a Ute Indian?

Yep. Who else should be as pissed off?

Beginner's Guide to not pissing off one specific guy who has lived in Colorado his whole life?

Sure, some of the stuff in that list bothers me, a lot I can live with, and some of it I'm guilty of and don't care.

Ok, whatever. Tongue in cheek? I dunno. Probably not to the original writer. To the rebroadcaster and the rebroadcaster of the rebroadcaster sure.

I am not sure of the exact number given or needed but when someone says a** and f*** more than a dozen times in a post and "need to administer a**beating", odds are real strong that they are a pompous a****** themselves.

Other than the very funny references to the n'er do well pot heads moving in, fleece vests, and superfluous hiking gear, the rant seems a trite pompous.

lol That part about using the n-word almost made my jaw drop, until I realized the author meant "native" and not the other term.

Anyway, most of the complaints he is touching on can be made in any other city. I think the biggest downfall for the invasion of Colorado is the Californians driving up the rental and real estate prices.

So it is only the Californians driving the prices up? I know there are a lot of them moving here but there are quite a few people moving from other stays too.

I find it rather hysterical that someone who is apparently just fine with the "Native" BS is so outraged when people wear the Colorado flag on their clothes.

And apparently it's only children not born in Colorado who are the problems. I see.

This is probably the most moronic rant I've ever read. I'm not offended by it because it's so ludicrous, but I have to wonder how this guy hasn't blown a major blood vessel and hemorrhaged to death. Get over yourself, dude.


*Brief rant follows*
And please, shove that "Native" crap where the sun don't shine. You're a native, huh? What freakin' tribe? I come from New Jersey - I have friends whose relatives fought in the Revolutionary War. Their families have been here for 300 years or more often as not, and their ancestors LITERALLY shaped the foundations of the country. They don't ride around with bumper stickers proclaiming that. Know why? They're not Lenape. Nor are they pretentious douchebags. Kapish?
