If your trying to "liken" Hans to an apologist and you've studied apologetic studies thoroughly I would presume it natural that you mean to express how "logical" Hans would be to assert the personal belief that DCA is in fact a mixed bag, although I highly doubt that to be your attempted expression. I myself agree that DCA IS a mixed bag and have heard many others refer to DCA as a mixed bag including practically everyone I personally know that has ever been their. Point being is that I would agree with your "words" when you say Hans' personal belief that DCA IS a mixed bag IS qualifiably similar to a learned apologist in that "they" too would be considered correct in most logical assertions, I.E. Hans' personal belief that DCA is a mixed bag. =)

I find a lot of people still misinterpret it just because I don't find the place to be hell on earth and insist on the same bashing. Call it the subtlety-impaired.

I know I'm rarely here now, but I still have a scant idea where you stand now on the matter .

Alrighty I'll call Mr. X and we get some beers and get this party jumpin!!!! ;D Hey I even changed my stance too you know. DCA these days DOESNT want me to claw my eyes out anymore when I walk in with all the changes! I never thought that would change, but here we are. It's a brave new world for all!

Originally Posted By Hista98 you know its funny I was thinking about this earlier, but the logic that the rides in the pier sould be ripped out becuase they are flat and simple and not up to par with disney is funny, because by this logic then King Arthur's Carousel and Dumbo should be ripped out as well. I mean Think about it, what does a simple carousel have to do with a fantasy fairy tale theme? plus there wasn't a carousel in the movie the sword in the stone. and its not even dressed up to look like something from the movie like dumbo is. It's funny to me that since day one disney has had cheap carnival rides, yet no one made a fuss til DCA. I mean can't you also just ride a carousel at any amusment park? by this logic lets get rid of it and Dumbo too
