Absolutely disgusting communist move. What's next? You can't go for a swim at the beach without a life jacket on?
Too right, mike. Darn communistismists!

At last. This is what I've been saying for years. And if the boogie boarders don't like it, they can always head over to San Francisco which is a much more gay-friendly environment

Until now I bet that you all thought that "Rockaway Beach" was just a long-forgotten song by the Ramones.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

I wouldn't much fancy those beaches anyway. Too many dangerous animals in the NY Zoo....and the things discarded by those animals
