BOYCOTT UP (sorry UP fans but i can't put up with this any longer)

[Anonymous]

I really don't see what the big deal is with UP licensing their trademark..... Coca Cola, John Deere, Harley-Davidson, etc. have been doing it for years.

[Anonymous]

I fianally have to put in my 2cents. I, too was upset when I heard what UP was going to do. But then I got to thinking about it...
Disney merchandise is more expensive than other similar items. They have a licensing agreement.
NASCAR merchandise is more expensive than other similar items. They have a licensing agreement.
Notice on the Athern and Atlas ads for model vehicles. When Ford products are advertised, thereis a little disclaimer that the product is made under license from Ford Motor Co. General Motors does the same thing on some models.

Does anyone call for a boycott of Disney? Of NASCAR? Of Ford Motor vehicles?

Look folks, this is the way life is now. Get over it. Thank you

[FJ and G]

Boycott Penn Central

Ooops; I think we already did that.

[BRAKIE]

Boycott UP..Sure but you better add CSX to that boycott.[:D][:p]

Mark and Dave:

No- I'm afraid that is incorrect.

based on this statment, you are generalizing the people, and the executives of this forum.

that is like saying: I was robbed by a black person, therfore all black people are bad.

Ideologies, such as the one posted above, are a very dangerous path to follow.

The people of this forum, started this thread for whatever reason be it. Now with a topic like this, it is and should be expected that a few people might take exception to it. Like what was done.

However, in any debate where opinons are involved, (roughly 87%) of forum topics) it should be expected that at any moment things might get out of hand.

People are entitlesd to their opinion, This right is a basic gaurantee in both American Constitution and the Canadian charter of Rights and freedoms.

All of the posters of this forum, these forums joined together, Are smart, and usually post valuable information.

Now, judging the operation on this forum by a lousy post or two, is rather purile.

and that goes to anyone that does this.

You shouldn't call this forum bad because they allow you to express how you really feel about somehting.

you have a lot of freedom here, don't abuse it,

and when someone does, don't generalize and throw everyone else in with them.

come on everyone, at the end of the day we are all in the same hobby, live and let live. I really do not care what colour your locomotive is, we are all here because we like trains. We have seen a great many flags fall in the last few years and, while it is sad, at least the trains are still rolling.

Now I do not agree with mr. up9899 when he says that one line should eventually become the only one. Diversity is the spice of life baby!

And CNWfan, the Chicago North Western is in good company as a fallen flag. It now has the same status as the New York Central, the Santa Fe, the Deleware and Hudson and the Western Pacific to name a few. Someday I bet even the Union Pacific will become no more than just a couple letters in some alphabet soup of a railroad name.

As for now let this all go, and let the Route Of The 400s roll off into a grange sunset with the dignity it deserves.

Now everyone, how about that drink I mentioned on the first page?

[Anonymous]

IT's time to kill the thread, CNWfan, listen to everyone else.

[Anonymous]

CN&W fan you started it smart guy, but putting down the RR i like so i let you know how i felt about it, all i did is fight fire with fire....and you said im not a modeler first, so really you started all this, so when it gets to heavy for you dont COMPLAIN!! alright.

Look what all of you have denounced your selves too.

Making fun of what the other person likes.

CNW or UP MAYBE CP, or CSX.. possibly CN....TO EACH IS THEIR OWN!

different people like different things!

Some men like women with Small breasts, some men the opposite, some don't care..

Everyone likes a different thing,

So shush up, stick to what you like, And don't critisize other people for what they have a passion for.

That only proves to be inane.

(sorry for the example)

nicely put

Yup......Like I said before..if you're gonna come out swinging....you can't cry foul when things don't go how you want.....you stared the topic...you can end it. ....Not trying to be mean or pick on you.....but a couple of clicks..and it's gone....

This ain't "Let's ba***he CNW and CNWfan" night.

If we are going to play "let's bash other posters' favorite road", then I can and will. I said I respect all railfans' favorite roads, but what comes around goes around.

And if anyone even wants to attempt to ba***he Q, well, he, he, he, we will see what happens, eh![:(!]

[Anonymous]

And the CNW's paint scheme was fairly good looking when new!
