Anyone who would live in an area without a type of bowling they did not experience would be different strokes for different folks. This kind of different stokes for different folks would be in an area where they live and grew up in in the world. With people of this generation living in the present right now. It would not be any relation to different strokes for different folks for human generations and ages. Like a lot of us young people grew up with rock 'n' roll, video games, computer, sex, and other modern active behaviors. Just as people like our grandparents, and before that hated this stuff, and called rock music "Noise" and "J***** Music." They all liked things that were quiet and tranquility.

Bowling is a thing that people of early generations did, even before our time. Those in New England that emotionally reject 5 pins, and other types non-candlepin bowling are all in their heads. Canadian people since 1909, and in the 19teens, 20's, 30's 40's, 50's, and 60's, etc. loved to bowl 5 pins. A Canadian woman named Marianne Dibble who appeared on that Cnadian 1957 episode "Tabloid" bowled 5 pins, and on a 5 pin league. And she looked like she was in her 60's. But probably was against rock 'n roll music. But she loved the 5 pins. Rubberband duckpin bowling was invented in the 30's. And people of that decade that lived in Baltimore, Maryland, and maybe in Pennsylvania loved them too. Duckpins were invented in 1900. And there's a picture of Babe Ruth who bowled the duckpins on the internet. And there are even pictures of women who bowled ten pins in the early 20th century. And not just men. Marianne Dibble on Tabloid said she bowled the ten pins a few times. So you see, there are other types of sports, and games to explore, and to try. Not just something that you grew up with. Just like they say that you should try a new food today. And you should try to bowl a new type of bowling. It's lots of fun and interesting. It's not politics, or religion, or like Nazi Germany. They're all games for a general audience. For all ages. And it's fun. It's not dangerous like boxing, skiing, or doing hot dog stunts. Even little children can bowl them too. I've even seen pictures of Asian people in Canada bowling 5 pins on the internet. Even old people bowls them. There are people on my duckpin league that are elderly that bowls duckpins. And there are even people that are old that I know that bowls ten pins, on my league too. You're never too young, nor too old to bowl any of these types of bowling. No matter what. Anyone who fears to bowl any of these different types of bowling, are suffering from different strokes for different folks. When you're not good at something, doesn't mean you'll always fail at it. You have to practice, and be devoted to them. My cousin who lived in Massachusetts, and now lives in Las Vegas bowled the 5 pins in Canada once. And she liked them. So people should try to learn to play a different type of game like bowling, instead of hating them. Just like when Season Connery in Indiana Jones:The Last Crusade said to that Nazi officer:"You should try to read books, instead of burning them!" Otherwise, people whom are devoted to these other types of bowling that they bowl won't like you, and they'll avoid you and ignore you. Everyone should be considerate to all nice things.

You know what I find sad? When someone's message ends up falling on deaf ears because they end up babbling, because their message becomes negative, a lecture and preachy.

Ryan: There is a time to express your opinion and there is a time to show maturity by knowing when to move on to some other topic, since all you are doing is turning people off to your message.

But, i respect your opinion. It's just you're taken it too far and we are all lost on your message.
