  1. Very true. Can you imagine how bad the end zone touchdown dances would suck if it was a white guy doing the celebrating?

  2. So i took my son out shotgun hunting today. Everything was going as planned until the ice storm hit. We went back to the truck to get lunch and saw how bad the ice was. After a little investagating we saw it was pure ice both ways to get out. With no other option we tried to go down the hill. Bad idea we went off road on a slide with abs locked up. Slammed hard into a ditch, got out with some spinning and rocking. Problem was i was facing the wrong way now. Turned the truck around after a long bit. Then slid off the trail again, almost hit a tree. Stopped for a bit to regroup. I had to use my truck bag which had a tomahawkin it to break up ice and try to get my truck back on road. Got ready to do the worst part of it, sent the kid out of the truck to a safe spot. Then headed down tbe ice, went off the road a few times again. Thought i was gonna be spending the night in the woods in the truck. Glad i carry my little bag of food water and over night gear. After almost 2 hours i made it 300 yards down the hills and made it to the road. Then i found out i had tire damage from slamming into a rocky bank. After changing a spare tire out we were back on the road again. 4 hours of ice freezing rain and off roading we made it out. I almostbgot stuck in the woods and my little bag made it possible to get out and have some food/water for my kid. Always be prepared for the worst....

  3. I don't see any injustice. I think any person would have acted the same in the officer's position.This country does a lot for people weber you want to recognize it or not. We wouldn't have a lot of the modern luxuries we have today without or government. Our government does way more for people than it does to work against them. It's pretty hypocritical to enjoy the protection of our government and use of the infasturcture set up maintained and funded by the government then turn around and say all they do is oppress people. While we're at it please give me some examples of less oppressive governments that are a better portion than ours.

  4. I'm not too sure about the source, it came across my FB after someone shared it. But here is an interesting article if true. Basically it says two black panthers with Muslim names got arrested for having pipe bombs or materials to make pipe bombs in Ferguson. http://conservativetribune.com/black-panther-ferguson-arrest/ Another thing I thought about last night is had Brown been a soldier killed by an enemy or friendly fire we would have never heard about him no matter the circumstances. I doubt anyone outside his friends and family would care and nothing in Ferguson would be happening out of the ordinary. Same as if he were a policeman or firefighters killed in the line of duty. Or if he were a doctor teacher aid worker or other profession mostly viewed as honorable killed by gang violence. Or even if he was in a profession seen as dishonorable such as a thief or drug dealer killed by gang violence or by a cop of the same race. No one would take notice outside of a handful of people that knew him. But since it was a black guy shot by a white cop it is socially acceptable to act and feel the way people do about this. Yet take no notice of the other scenarios mentioned above. I would be more sympathetic and understanding of the actions of the protesters and even the rioters of they felt and reacted the same way for other deaths. I didn't see anything like this happen after the Boston marathon bombing. The police used similar "military-like" equipment then also. Some people complained about it but there weren't any protests and riots because of it. No one acted out when Chris Kyle was murdered same with the troopers that were attacked in Pennsylvania. It wouldn't be considered acceptable behavior for these situations so why is it acceptable just because it was a black guy shot by a white cop? Why does our country get worked up over when this happens yet doesn't give a shit when a guy goes crazy and kills his family? There is a clear bias of the reactions to different situations of death. Apparently our country cares more about the death of a thug killed by a cop than the deaths of cops killed by thugs or the death of thugs killed by other thugs or the death of military members who get killed. If you want to have a meaningful death in this country apparently you should be a thug killed by a cop. The people of Ferguson need to take a look around if they want to really know about government oppression. Look at Mexico they have 43 people missing or killed presumably by the Mexican government. Look at Syria and Iraq where isis is taking over as the government in areas and murdering people based on race and beliefs. That's true government oppression. If you think our government is too mean maybe you should go find another government to live under.

  5. The Honda filler neck won't allow this in an overfill situation. Besides there would be a evap code if this happened. I wasn't saying anything about a spark plug being warrantied. Just saying it's not going to be a spark related issue. There was no complaint of a misfire. I was just trying to give some insight on the egr issue. None of this is going to be egr related. I've been with Honda for 5 yrs and don't see any of this leading to an egr problem. Just trying to lend some advise from personal experience, not argue on diagnosis. I apologize if my previous comment came off as trying to prove you wrong. That was not my intention. Although I do think the issue can be solved by cleaning the ports.
