Ok, but get one of these before you go back at it. http://www.lastnightoffreedom.co.uk/stag-night-shop/costumes-&-fancy-dress/full-body-condom-costume/

Fuck no, this is the best time to ride! Beautiful colors, no bugs, no sweating, no parades of slow ass fair-weather riders cloggin the roads. This state throws too many 50+ degree days at you through the winter to ever pack it up.

Very nice,

Hey Tony. Hope the German engineering works out well for you.

I just glanced through the Industry Week article you referenced.I noticed one glaring oversight...America's war on unions and how that affected training and apprenticeships.They mentioned that the electrical industry has more apprentices than nearly all,or all,of the manufacturing industry.I' wouldn't be surprised if nearly all of those 33,000 electrical apprentices are union apprentices. That article was just more pandering for corporate welfare.Unions have trained apprentices for decades without government money,if they don't want unions it's time for corporations to pay for their own training.Don't just complain about unskilled works,hire people and train them. Since corporations don't want unions they are pushing the cost of training onto the individual,and in many cases,onto the taxpayers through educational assistance.

Legalize it...get the taxes. Ease the burden on the judicial system. People are going to do it regardless, might as well cash in on it.

Big deal Jim. Every country was built on immigration if you look back far enough. But not every choose to keep an open immigration policy for good reason.

IANAL: I got into a debate with a co-worker of mine who held two strong opinions; "If you have a cast or bandage on our arm or leg then it is illegal to drive." and "If you are driving illegally then any accident is automatically your fault". My opinions were that "a cast or bandage is only relevant if it interferes with your ability to drive" and "Accident liability is about the facts of the accident, not about the driver". I asked her who would be at fault if she rear-ended a drunk driver that was waiting at a red light. She said the drunk driver "because he shouldn't be on the road". She didn't see any problem with her logic. In truth, the accident liability would be decided without regard to his being drunk. And his would be processed for DUI in the same way as if he'd been pulled over. Thereby, each person is punished for their relevant actions. Very similar logic applies to the Texas case: - The fact that the biker had no valid license will likely get him a ticket, but is not relevant to the accident. - The illegal pass was not the cause of the accident. The driver swerving was the cause. If the bike's illegal pass had put him in a place where the driver collided with him while making a maneuver in good faith (such as joining a turn lane and hitting a bike that had been passing on the shoulder leading up to the turn lane) then the illegal maneuver of the bike is entirely relevant. However, any attempt to argue that the bike shouldn't have been there is irrelevant IF the court finds the swerve was intentional. - There are 4 different legal paths to consider: a) The biker's traffic infractions. No license & illegal pass. Should be cited. b) The driver's traffic infractions. Failure to maintain lane. Likely will not be cited in deference to the felony charge for the same act. c) Tort liability for the accident damages. I don't believe the biker is at all at fault for the accident as his actions did not cause the vehicles to come into conflict. The driver should shoulder all liability, IMHO, however it would not surprise me if his insurance tries to get out of a payout on the basis that this was an intentional act. They will still likely wind up paying out because although the swerve is very likely to be ruled intentional, it's a different matter to prove that the *collision* was intentional, which is the actual cause of the damages. The driver could claim that he was trying to dissuade the illegal pass, not trying to actually HIT the bike. d) Driver's criminal liability. This is clear, although the video is going to be key evidence if he fights it based upon his new "Stung by a bug" story. After seeing the video I don't believe the bug story one bit. The real sticking point is the need to prove that the *collision* itself was intentional, or can they secure a conviction based upon the mens rea of reckless intent. Even though I don't feel he was overcharged, I do expect a plea deal.

Demography is destiny. Look at the kind of people coming in and what kind of shape their places of origin are in, politically and economically. If a country is still 3rd world in 2015, it's because the preferences of its people is for banana-republic policy. Look at the political party our current crop of immigrants are voting for 5-to-1 in favor for, and does that party support the values your dad and grandfather taught you? This is why Trump has such massive support. If you have an interest in political conservatism as a national platform, demographics are the only thing that matter in the long run for enacting those policies, and Trump is the only guy with the cajones to call things as they see it. My kids get to grow up in a country that will have invited in 100 million brown 3rd worlders, who are actively opposed to a good chunk of my values and traditions.. but hey, good job GOP, you can claim to the new York times that you're not scary racists.

LOL. That is total bullshit. Check it out a little further. It is a twist on S corp tax laws made to look like the immigrants are pulling a fast one. Are we really debating that in a country founded on immigration...that legal controlled planned immigration is bad? You asshats need to go back to the country your ancestors came from.

Fixed.

What % of immigrants would you estimate to business owners? Many immigrant small business owners send every cent of profit back to their home land. Others get every form of credit possible, max them out and then leave the US without paying their debt. This is a known issue with a particular type of business.

Just pointing out, when you do this you need to move FAR more to the left when passing. You always need to create space. Space gives you time to avoid.

Ohio has a provision that allows you to pass on a double yellow if the driver is doing half the speed limit or less (i think). I wonder if Texas has a similar provision and if it applies here...

I'd love to boycott banks/utilities that send out faux bill - service notice - IMPORTANT.ACCOUNT.INFORMATION junkmail but every single bastard one of them do it. The things people get upset these days (target gendered toy sections),but these by supposedly reputable companies are ignored?
