I think Brokeback Mountain kind of killed it off Wink

There are a few cowboys left. I would suppose depending on the definition. Perhaps, you could find some in Montana or Texas. The cowboy is riding off into the sunset, for others just a faded memory.

The new cowboys now are the truckers .... i think we call them road cowboys .... and i'd rather see a cowboy with a 18-wheeler than one with a horse between his legs.

AH! American ignorance returned. Here's a suggestion...go look up internet troll...and try again... Maybe...if you try REAL hard you can apply it to the proper person in this case. But I'll not hold my breath on it.

There's a fine line between sarcasm and trolling, fortunately you constantly wade knee deep in your trolling. Whenever you're called on it you just go, I'm not a troll, [insert typical troll behavior], and continue trolling more. It'd be a lot simpler to take you seriously if you just said what does [X] have to do with [Y], but you don't. In this instance you took an obvious troll with nothing to add to the discussion and retrolled him, poorly. After I call you on it, you ignore the fact that you were trolling and bait me. This would go on and on until the discussion was locked.

The fact of the matter is your not even a very good troll. You shouldn't come out with the really moronic [see your first message] stuff until you know you've hooked him. You're either lazy or dense. My guess is the latter.

End threadjack.

What richard4u2 said. Real cowboys are just hard working people trying to get by like the rest of us.

It was a minor joke. Cowboys still do exist , but , in two different kinds though.

You have the roadcowboys , these are the guys who sit behind the stering wheel of an 18-wheeler for a week without coming home.

And than you have the real cowboy. The onces most of us only know from movies.
They still do exist , only they went through changes. They don't check their land by only horse anymore ... they also use pick-ups and trucks for this.

As I suspected...you fukked up...and now try badly to cover yourself. I didn't troll him. I did not troll you. I insulted him as was good for him. Same for you. I made no suggestion otherwise. Nor have I denied it in other instances. So you have about as much sense and ability as those few shitty turkeyboys. You called me on nothing moron. You are trying SO hard though. You keep it up. Maybe. Some day.... You can be a real boy.

All right.....Everybody. I have a home in the western US and I can categorically state that cowboys do exist. I see them periodically bringing herds of cattle down from the mountain ranges to the railhead. Of course, they no longer sling six shooters and rifles in scabbards but, in many instances, a good quarter horse can do things no four-wheeler can accomplish.

Then there is the other kind of cowboy that you see teetering on high heeled boots in New York city's upscale watering holes. These urban cowboys wouldn't know the difference between oats you feed a horse and oats that have gone through once already.

malepietro della | 8 May 2008 - 10:29am

Polander urban cowboys are just that!!It has to be new new new and it's meaningless..the chisolm trail was forged by hard working,sweat eating dust eating gun toting MEN did you ever see "westward the women"?? human ability to overcome..hollywood cowboys are hollywood cowboys but the real thing?Hard working people..WER have a mutual mailfriend,his name is Bret longload and he pushes the loneliness of an eighteen wheeler,one of the good guys,a hard working road cowboy..

malepolander | 10 May 2008 - 5:37am

@ pietro......I think You and I are in violent agreement about the nature of true cowboys. Yes, they still exist out here in the western US and they still do the traditonal cowboy chores. They still take the cattle to the high plains where there is lush grass and cool, clear water in the spring and bring them back in the fall fattened up for the market. Most of those high noon shootouts on main street shown in the movies are nothing but Hollywood nonsense.
