Right Thinking From The Left Coast
"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Respect for Diversity
by Lee

If you’re planning a trip to Oregon, don’t stay at this hotel.  They describe themselves as “Respecting the interdependence & diversity of all life.” Obviously that respect for humans doesn’t include Republicans.

Nature-friendly cleaning & maintenance. Committed to limiting human impact on nature.  No Hummers, No RVs, No Bush Voters (due to his environmental destructive policies.)

What an utterly worthless group of people.  Every time I get the thought in my head that lefties might not be all bad something like this pulls me back down to reality.  I wish I lived in the area, so I could drive past this place every day and litter.

So who is allowed to stay there?  They don’t allow incense, dogs, or smoking (I guess that means weed too); and you have to clean your own room, so not even the hippiest of hippies would qualify.

You know what I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah!

And I’m gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph getting one mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheese burgers from McDonald’s in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers.

And when I’m done sucking down those grease ball burgers, I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and then I’m gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and there ain’t a God damned thing anybody can do about it.

You know why? Because we got the bombs, that’s why.

No reason to stay there.  Sounds more like work than a relaxing visit.  Sure it’s not like some kind of correctional facility?

Posted by on 03/09/05 at 08:00 PM from United States

NO SMOKERS
For health, safety and conservation concerns, Ocean Haven is unable to accommodate smokers.

Cigarette butts represent the largest concentration of beach litter.
Ocean fish & birds frequently ingest the plastic filters.

Plastic (?) filters?  What the heck kind of cigarettes have plastic filters?  They even have you cook your own food.  And every one who goes on their property has to pay, even if they aren’t staying the night?  Wow.  For being liberal lefties, they sure are trying to make a lot of money.  Pretty capitalistic of them.

Almost makes me want to take up smoking again just so I can flick my butts on their land.

I’d love it if someone hacked into their site...replacing that touchie-feelie starfish pic with one of drunken fishermen, beer cans strewn about, pissing on lesbian seagulls.

Posted by on 03/09/05 at 08:02 PM from United States

Actually, they will probabably try suing people who stay at other hotels because that is discrimination against them, and it forced them into bankruptcy and made them feel bad.

Posted by The Ugly American on 03/09/05 at 08:07 PM from United States

I’ll bet they even recycle the pubic hair from the sheets.

I’m gonna roll down there with my “Democracy, Wiskey, Sexy” and “W” bumper stickers on my V70 XC “faux SUV”, smoke a doobie in the room, chug a Buttwiper out on the beach and wipe my ass with a starfish. Heads will explode from not knowing how to classify that. Fucking asshat-holes!

Sure, why wouldn’t it be?  It is a private establishment, run by private owners.  Far be it from me to ask the government to force them to institute good business practices.  Soon they will figure out that hippies can’t afford to pay $200+ to camp out.  Then after they’ve gone out of business we can buy their land cheap and turn it into a refinery for Little Lisa’s Slurry.

Posted by on 03/09/05 at 08:19 PM from United States

Gripeboy, I don’t think they’d have anyone with the balls to complain to your face.

Probably be able to scare them by looking at one of them and say “What the F*** are you looking at longhair”?

Posted by on 03/09/05 at 08:22 PM from United States

I bet that’s how they supplement their income with authentic ‘Hippie Rugs’

If you can’t smoke, play frisbee with your dog, or have a BBQ what the hell good is a beach?  Also, they ‘welcome the diversity of all life,’ but don’t allow pets or Bush voters.  Buncha turdhounds, if you ask me.

Gripeboy, I don’t think they’d have anyone with the balls to complain to your face.

Yes, the testicles of all male Ocean Haven staff are removed six weeks prior to employment to ensure all “manly” hormones have filtered out of the system.

I just emailed them the following question:

“I’m an omnivore and will be consuming meat on the premises. Will that be a problem?”

Fucking tards.

No phone
No lights
No motorcars

It’s as primitive as can be

For what it’s worth, Yachats is a hippy infested hole (though I remember going there for some pretty decent donuts as a kid).  Just up north is Waldport, which is full of rednecks.  Rednecks are better than hippies any day… ESPECIALLY AT FIGHTING!!!

I digress.

I like Tierra del Mar and you can bring your dog to the pub’s patio and watch the dory fleet.

No Bush Voters (due to his environmental destructive policies.)

I’d stay away from these idiots because (a) they don’t know standard English grammar, and (b) they are too stupid to run a grammar check on their ad copy.

“Environmental destructive policies” means that his destructive policies are apparently environmentally aware.  Do you suppose they really meant, “environmentally destructive policies,” or even, “destructive environmental policies?”

Sheesh.  There’s no escaping fools in this world.  They say God must love poor people because he made so many of them, but by that logic it looks like God really, really loves idiots.

Posted by Steverino on 03/09/05 at 08:56 PM from United States

$100 a night and you have to cook your own food and clean your own room?  I can stay home for free and do all that, and not have a bunch of whiners telling me what not to do.

Posted by on 03/09/05 at 08:58 PM from United States

Something just tells me that even though these people don’t allow dogs (damn fascists), they probably still have flea problems.

Ain’t no “hippies” going to be staying at that resort. It’s going to be rich white liberals who drove down to the coast from Portland or Eugene, where I live in their Toyota Prius and have gobs of money to throw around.

I love Oregon, and the liberals here in Eugene are pretty decent folks, by and large, but they do have the whole “self-righteous moral superiority” thing going, and I’m sure they’ll be lining up to stay at this resort and pat all their fellow travellers on the back for being such great, intelligent people.

C’est la vie, I guess. They can do what they want.

Any bets, though, on what’d happen if they said “No negroes,” instead?

Posted by Vincent on 03/09/05 at 09:15 PM from United States

Err, I missed a comma in there. Let it be clear: I don’t live in anyone’s Toyota Prius!

Posted by The Ugly American on 03/09/05 at 09:51 PM from United States

Seeing as how no black person in their right mind would want to stay there anyway, they might as well hang a “Whites Only” sign.

I’d bet they wouldn’t even allow Miss Jane Pittman to use her cane ‘cause she might smash a cricket.

If the owner invites you to join his mother and him in the office for soy milk and cheese sandwiches...run like hell.

how many trees were plowed away to lay the foundation of your hotel?  how many blades of grass?  what about the earth worms that were rent asunder by the blade of the bulldozers?  fucking hippies!  i can’t wait to see that you went out of business.

I just sent that specific comment to them.  (they have a “contact us” on the website)--fun!

Posted by on 03/10/05 at 01:00 AM from United States

I’m pretty sure that a hotel not allowing somebody to stay there based strictly on the guest’s political opinions is pretty illegal.

I’m tempted to call, try to make a reservation, casually mentioned I volunteered for the Bush re-election campaign when I had time during my job as an oil company mid-management executive, and then sue them when they tell me I’m not welcome.

You don’t even have to park your boat off the shore.  Way back when them hippy types got aan intiative on the ballot.  Our Orygun constitution now says the beach is for everyone.

So, you can walk your dog down on the beach and have a styrofoam and chipped tire bonfire while you roast strangled lesbian seagulls.

Try Florence Oregon where you can ride your dunebuggy right into the Pacific or over endangered snowy plovers,it’s all good.  Some damn fine dining in town and Indian gambling just out of town. Man its late and the codiens is workin, nite ya’ll

Forget those douche-bags in western Oregon...y’all are welcome out here in eastern Oregon.  Drop by and sit a spell. We’ll drink some beer, eat some meat, consume some tobacco products, and maybe later take a ride in my gas guzzling, early 70’s muscle car.

Hell if I had an SUV I’d whiz right past this hippy shack and camp at Rock Creek Park!
Much more economical - I can sleep in the SUV, burn firewood I bought at Safeway earlier in the day, and have a nice big ole BBQ before I take my dog across Highway 1 to crap on the beach!

Posted by BKAY on 03/10/05 at 12:56 PM from United States

I wonder what they’d do if I rented the room, then sat on the porch all night with a case of beer and a 12 gauge across my lap?

If you thought these people we’re pretentious, check this out…

It sounds like a recipe for disaster: a restaurant staffed with waiters who can’t see, where diners eat in total darkness. But the Blind Cow in Zurich is so popular there’s a four-month waiting list to get in. Stephen Moss on a curious culinary success.

Blindekuh opened in September last year. Spielmann’s foundation, which raised £200,000 to launch it, had a dual purpose: to provide work for blind people, and to give those who can see an insight into their world. “We hope to make people more sensitive to the problems of the blind,” says Schaffner. “It’s a new experience for diners: you take one sense away, so you have to use all the others much more.”

When you arrive, your bag and coat are put into a locker - it would be hazardous to leave anything on the floor of the dining room - and you step into a dimly lit ante-room which is supposed to acclimatise you to darkness (occasionally, guests find the blackness of the dining room too claustrophobic and have to leave). When your waiter arrives to greet you, you place your hands on her shoulders and are taken through the blackout curtain and into the dining room. The blind leading the blind.

The room is not merely dark; it is entirely devoid of light. The distinction is important: usually in darkness you can make out shadowy shapes; here you can see nothing.

What next...a Thalidomide baby restaurant where everyone bellies up to a giant trough?
