Hi everybody, my name is Chris, i live in the Columbus area and regularly attend Cars and Coffee as well as the weekly Sawmill meets. I drive a Dakar Yellow '98 BMW M3 5 speed with ~130k miles. I bought the car this summer with the intent of adding performance and making it a fun summer and weekend car. I already know a few members, and look forward to meeting more! I'm currently asking a friend how to add pictures of the M3 to my intro, and will add them once I figure out how! http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/Chris_Okura/1150289_10202292021568422_1658857690_n_zps306501ed.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/Chris_Okura/63901_10153233314665497_902610042_n_zpsd98d1100.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/Chris_Okura/1374053_10151954269365421_702803149_n_zpsdee30c42.jpg

Great discussion guys. I will be compiling a list later that will contain all of the people I can punch in the face without expectation of returned punches.

Clearly we need more fake gun control laws.

So just to add fuel to the fire I'll say this. 1. There used to be a time when a woman may get mad at you and slap you. It happends and you deal with it 2. Used to be a time when kids could play around with toy guns and everyone thought it was cute 3. Parents used to teach their kids what was right and wrong and bring them up in a mannner that they had respect and worked hard for the things they wanted/needed 4. People used to respect each other a lot more than now. Fast forward. 1a We are so politically correct these days that we are incorrect. 2a Everyone wants handouts or to be equals unless that means they need to put forth effort or be responsible for their own actions. 3a No one wants to work hard, take responsibility for their actions or act in a respectful manner. 4a You cant spank your kids anymore because of 1a so kids get away with everything. 5a You cant even tell your employee they are screwing up because they will call HR on you. Let alone the ability to fire anyone. It all boils down to this IMO. Times have changed unfortunately. Just because youre a woman doesnt mean that you get off scott free for your actions. If you stand up and start swinging on anyone kid, girl, woman, man, grandpa, etc. You should accept the fact that they may swing back. Every action has a equal and opposite reaction. Dont be an idiot. Im not saying its right for what happened here especially from what I saw in the video but the fact still remains that if anyone swings on anyone they better damn well understand that they may get the same thing right back at them. Grow up. Be responsible for your own actions in all walks of life.

IMHO, there could be grounds for opposition to the treaty based on procedural objections, but not so much on its substance, which is why Portman spends so much time in his letter discussing the treaty's ambiguity and "potential." Put simply, the treaty has little to no binding value in either direction other than a political one of acknowledging arms trade as having global context. The rest of Portman's reasons for objection are conjecture at best, and reminiscent of no-compromise "cold dead hands" ethos. But worse, the NRA itself (I'm a long-time member but don't always toe the party line) is doing an incredible disservice to truth with the way they're spinning its implications. Their robocalling fund drivers (who I've heard from several times this month already) aren't even crafting their words as deftly as Portman and are outright saying that this treaty subjugates US gun owners to UN new world order tracking and control, which is nothing but a bold-faced lie. The treaty is little more than feel-good oatmeal for the diplomats. Which brings me to my position - I really can't come to care if this specific treaty is ratified or not. I has no bearing on my rights as a US citizen - the thing is mush. Could it lay the groundwork for a global registry or UN agreement to ban all citizen gun ownership? Yea, I suppose, but so could having a ham sandwich with mustard - both of which would be about the same stretch, but ham sandwiches can't be used as NRA fund raising fodder (though they are more delicious). I propose that it would be better to spend time and political capital not sounding like a paranoid freak show every time arms are discussed at the national or global level. It weakens our credibility at those discussions and strengthens our opposition. It's a foreign concept to NRA hard-liners, but it's how I feel. Just my 2 cents. If I know OR's readership, I'll soon be attacked as a heretical, liberal pansy boi. Whatever! Payback starting in T minus 10... 9... 8...

? If someone asks me to lose or miss shots intentionally, I would be done with that team. That is missing the point, IMO. That's kinda like idiots that take steroids to get an edge in bar league softball. Yeah that happens.

I'll just put this here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6G-wNyIxzM

Never over for me, it just slows down a bit is all.

How can any of us have intelligent opinions on this without hearing all the facts? There will be an investigation, more witnesses, video, etc. - Only then can anyone really make a judgment as to who was at fault.

Make sure you invest in a Roth IRA. This is one of the best retirement options out there. There's a reason why the government caps the contribution limits and why top earners can't invest in one. 1. you can take out your deposits at any time, tax-free, penalty-free. 2. all capital gains on investments are tax-free 3. when you're old enough to withdraw, all withdraws are tax-free. My strategy is: 1. max out 401k 2. max out Roth IRA 3. pay extra on my house 4. no debt 5. find something else to invest in (still searching...looking for tax free).

As soon as games start on Sunday anyone you try to pick up doesn't go through til wed morning. There is an established order so say we both out in for the same player, whoever has the lower priority number gets him. From wed til game time you can add most immediately

Cause that's a dick move from a lying scumbag that deserves to lose his ass on a sale

Speaking of shutdowns, with the government shutdown I hear vets disability checks will be cut off. I wonder how the obamavette is doing.
