Maybe it is all the highly paid construction going on in LV? Oh wait, that is Honolulu also.
Perhaps its the Seafood Buffets!!

Okay Bright Boy, why are they there, there instead of some other "there".

It HAS to be the Seafood Buffets.....or......the gambling.......or, the Mob!!!

I'll excuse your lack of geographical knowledge, but just this one time. There's a whole lot more "far away" on the other side of LV, even if you stop at the Mississippi River.

Hawaii and some of her past can be a benefit to people today.
I don't think anyone is referring to the use of force, unless you refer to the competative spirit.

I agree, and much of it has been adopted on the mainland, and proudly so.

Here is a thought? Is anyone representing Hawaii or just political leanings?

[quote=whtviper1;44733620]Lets take it a step further - this isn't a Hawaii thing. The issue with HBH isn't just that he is the "little guy" it is the constant blame game that the "little guy" is forced to be the "little guy" because of wealthier people - or "big interest" money.


There is an excuse for everything. I've had staff that play the blame game on why they didn't get things done - excuse for everything. They got fired.


I say - what about personal accountability?

I kinda understand what HbH is saying. Your missing the mark on alot of what he says. Take a look at the actions of people who think like you as a group on an island 44 miles (71 km) long and 30 miles (48 km) across. You come across like the "holy rollers" who say jesus is the only way. Oahu is very much an example of this. Issues like traffic on Oahu are not issues because we lack "HART rail" or anything. Its only an issue because we live on an island. Facts your group ignores. Instead of accepting it, you blame everything else.
