Town house restaurant at congress and woodward

[SyGolden48236]

So if I understand the OP correctly, he's considering writing off a city of ~700,000 and a restaurant with thousands of patro z because he encountered a few assholes?

If so, the city will be better off without people who think like the OP.

Frankly, I would have wrote off the suburbs long ago if I let the trailer trash who live in some of the places get to me.

Where did the OP write that he was considering writing off the city or the restaurant? He wrote no such thing.

You're trying to stir up controversy by putting words into his mouth.

And frankly, the city will be better off without people behaving so vulgarly in the middle of the street as the folks the OP observed. Some people have no idea of what constitutes proper decorum.

No, I'm trying to understand the point of their post. especially when comments like this...

Didn't wait to see if he plowed her on the Mercedes Benz SUV hood before speeding off to Birmingham. Hope this is not indicative of the crowd this place promises to attract feasting on their $19.00 USD, 7 oz burger made from 28 cuts of dry age mystery...err...beef in the glass enclosed year around retractable pavillion.

are made.

So he ran across a few assholes. What's the big deal that it warranted a thread here?

Apparently it was a big enough deal for you to comment on it and allege that the OP was "considering writing off a city of ~700,000 and a restaurant with thousands of patrons because he encountered a few assholes" when he mentioned no such thing.

Well please do tell, what other reason would the OP post such a thing in a forum about Detroit?

The part of my post you quoted had a question mark at the end, which thus means I'm trying to confirm the purpose of the OP's thread.

Since you're probably not a mind reader and [[as far as we know) not the OP, there's a good chance you can't answer my question. And since my question wasn't directed towards you, why are you so riled up over it?

Since you're not a mind reader and not the OP, there's a good change you can't answer my question.

Apparently you must be a mind reader because you stated that he was considering "writing off the city.....".

There was nothing to confirm except that your imagination was running wild. You were attempting to change the purpose of the OP's thread to suit what you imagined his intent to be but which he never said.

What IS the purpose of the OP's thread?

A thoughtful reading of the original post leads me to believe that he was trying to point out some awful behavior by some very ill-mannered young folks in a public street and that his hope was that this new restaurant is not patronized by a preponderance of people who behave in a similar fashion.

Oh well. I know personally, can't control how other people behave as every one of us have free will to act as we please. As someone else said, you're going to encounter all sorts of different people in a big city, for better or worse.

That said, I'm not going to let just a few bad apples spoil the bunch, ruin my good time and chase me away either...

[SyGolden48236]

.... every one of us have free will to act as we please.

People have a responsibility to behave responsibility and to show respect to others. Engaging in lewd behavior in the middle of a public street, blocking traffic and shouting obscenities at motorists is hardly something that anyone has a right to do.

Unfortunately many millennials [[and some in other generations) seem to feel that there are no boundaries in life and that standards of decency and good manners are meaningless.

^^^ Yeah the same 'no rules' non-conformist types clowning-out this way will 'lawyer-up' fast should they get in trouble or hurt. It's pain to drive in this kind of scene.

I'd hate driving behind these stoners on the road. It's a wonder they make it home without causing an accident.

Well you be sure to get out of your car if you ever witness such behavior and tell said people what you just said to their face, and then tell me how well things go for you...

I must ask you, do you support such lewd behavior? Do you think it is OK?

I never said nor implied such a thing.

[SyGolden48236]

I never said nor implied such a thing.

So then is it safe to assume that you do not condone such behavior by the youngsters in question?
