Vomit... I can't say anything more about this without sounding like a racist.
When did that ever stop anyone here?

It wouldn't be the first time China tried to gain a foothold in a potentially energy rich area by buying up large amounts of land, supposedly for tourism and recreation.

Sound like some might feel it would be okay for the development to proceed if it were done by white Anglo Saxon Protestants...
Ideally, but we'll settle for just plain white given the times we live in. Right Tobias?
I don't know about just white, but I'd prefer an American developer instead of some commie bastards. Better yet they don't make a gook themed city in the Catskills. They can keep that garbage in NYC.
Listen here you round eyed, racist cock meat sandwich... Some of NEFF's finest members are of Asian blood. Like me, being part Japanese, I am very proud of my heritage. The strength of the samurai runs through my veins!!
For hundreds of years, the people of Japan have always hated the Chinese, and this damn Chinese community shit pisses me off too, Rong time!!
Where will I practice my sacred arts of habachi and tenkara now???

I don’t get some of the responses on this thread. I am a staunch Conservative / Capitalist and, I don’t see what the big deal is. Is this not an example of the American Dream? My ancestors basically did the same thing. They carved out their little niche in society. This is one of the reasons this country became as powerful as it is. A conglomeration of different cultures all playing their part in the pursuit of prosperity. When that works like it does in this country, you have the high standard of living we all have today. When society chooses winners and losers based on race, region, political views, sexual orientation, that is not Capitalism. That is basically a Caste system. We do not want to go down that road.

You don't care about the neversink. I'm also a staunch conservative and capitalist but this river was supposed to be preserved for people like me to enjoy.
Explain why that would change. Roscoe is built near a few trout waters it actually enhances the fishing experience.( Fly shops, restaurants, overnight facilities) Give some facts on why you would not be able to the fish Neversink and do not speculate.
1. Increased traffic inside and outside of the gorge. I can't stand when people get in my way. The lots could be full almost everyday. Decreases the experience
2. Orientals tend to not understand fishing laws (we all know this to be true). I believe they will use bait when they arent allowed and keep fish when they aren't allowed
3. Increased runoff. I know a lot of you are arguing that nothing will flow into the neversink but we all know that somewhere a stream will be affected and the neversink is the most major waterway in the area.
4. More garbage.
5. Disputes between law abiding fishermen and law breaking fishermen
6. More prime (and some favorite spots) having fishermen in them already.
need I say more?
CMM I get what you are saying. You want to keep it pristine. All of you arguments are speculation and from a single point of view. People getting in your way? If you don't want that, buy the proposed site for the town and no one will bother you.
Anyone who was around when "fcch" was still posting here knows that NOT to be true. Some of the customs and regulations that he helps enforce on the waters where he guides, are much more restrictive than most of us "white guys" would put up with at home.........2.

Yes... Creating a mid sized city in the middle of the Catskills would have negative environmental consequences, and it's worth fighting.
Turning it into a racist thing will, just lose support for your cause.
I hate it when someone on "my side" starts throwing out a bunch of red herrings.....
If you give ten reasons why something shouldn't be done, and your opposition can show that one or more of them is wrong, everything you said gets called into question.
You already lost TomFly, and probably just about anyone else with any Asian ancestry ("Orientals" are rugs, people might be Asians).
I did not mean anything racist; this is observations myself and I know the majority of yourselves have made and are known to be true. Would you argue that anything I've said is a bold faced lie?
^^ Go back and get your GED homie. You speak english about as well as Vlad.

I take infrequent college classe, thank you very much. I've never failed an english class and actually was moved into creative writing classes in HS because the teachers liked my writing style.
Also, I'm not your fucking homie so don't call me than. While you're at it cut your hair and get a fucking job you hipster slob
Homie isn't even an english word
Whoah, sorry dude I didn't know I'd be striking such a nerve (can I call you dude? is that appropriate? even though it's a colloquialism, i'm pretty sure it's still a noun...kinda like homie...). You can get back to me on that one, and in the meantime--I'd like to apologize. I didn't mean to insult you. I don't think you're stupid, and for the record, I don't think education-level is a unit of intelligence. I was just trying to annoy you a little, per usual, and I guess I was a little harsh.
For the record. My avatar is me @ age 15. I have short hair now. I AM a hipster slob, and I work as a broadcast engineer for SiriusXm Satellite radio.
Okay, so 'I'm not your fucking homie' so I won't 'call you than,' but We SHOULD be 'homies' because we're about the same age (i'm 23) and I was in the catskills like 8 or 9 weekends this summer.
REGARDS,
moosekid
P.S. W3rd to Beetle. I'm not NEFF smart because I don't get the Cupcake gag. Can you enlighten me?? I recently saw that someone else made a cupcake reference in their avatar/status and now I'm curious...
I'm not your "dude" and I'm not your "homie".
Also you can take your fishing invite and shove it.
CMM take a breath and try not to get so worked up. You have had much worse said to you and haven't reacted so vehemently

I'm not your "dude" and I'm not your "homie".
Homie isn't even an english word
As a teacher, I just have to say, "what the hell is wrong with our education system?"
You take "infrequent" college courses? Do they meet every other week or so?
A few posts back, you called me "BRO"... I'm not your "brother"... And you're wiggin' out on HIM for calling you "homie"? I'm your elder... You can call me "Dad"...
