  1. I'd put it more towards the $2200-2500 range, being 10 years old and a Suzuki. It's not a bad quad, not at all, but I bought a Rubicon with way less miles on it (same year) for $3k and they tend to hold their value better.
  2. Shame, but it seems like there's no money to be made by showing it...at least the weak-assed coverage they give it here. I just download the European shows via torrent the next day and get the goods that way.
  3. Feet forward design = fuck that. I guess when you're straddling 700 awesome CC's of Honda power, you need to be in the gynecological position. It'll sell like a hubcap tractor. I thought Honda was heading in the right direction, then they announce a whole bunch of variants of this goofy sport cruiser.
  4. But that will cut down on the waves of future Democrat voters. Can't do that.
  5. Palpatine stepping down, huh? Well, that's unexpected.
  6. I'd love to know the dollar amount of this manhunt (to include the inevitable lawsuit from shooting up the asian paper ladies). I'm gonna guess the LAPD has put it to the taxpayer in the 7 digit range...and counting. That entire state is fail.
  7. Gotta be a fucking retard to see "neocon" in his writings, frankly. How many conservatives voice their pride in Obama and urge for strict gun control? Probably the same folks who thought Jared Loughner was a right-wing whacko.
  8. From what I read on ARFcom from vets, his experience was greatly exaggerated. Mostly a reservist administrator. I have no doubt he's received some basic combat and probably some pretty good police training, he could be a real threat to someone and clearly capable of spilling blood...I think he is very capable of damage but he's not the super soldier he projects himself to be. I think his police training was probably more comprehensive towards delivering violence than his navy gig.
  9. That manifesto reads crazy like crazy. His actions look the same. I'll bet he either eats a bullet or gets killed running. I don't think there's any Gerard Butler movie awesomeness to how this will play out.
  10. He's a murderer, of course they're taking him serious. I'm debating whether he's smart and calculating, not whether he's homicidal. That part's a given. Nothing he's done so far indicates a mastermind at work. He's washed out of everything he's tried, and his present actions are right in line with that string of personal failures. I also don't credit the LAPD with an abundance of brains. They are habitually churning out abusive, stupid and reactionary law enforcement officers - including this homicidal idiot. They're also making asses of themselves over the reaction, statements, and actions in locating this man. It's a clusterfuck. On both sides.
  11. For a guy who had it planned out, his plan kinda sucks. Gets caught up in a shootout, tries to steal a boat and lets rope get tangled around the prop, shoots a couple people parked in a car....I'm guessing from here on out all his moves look suspiciously like a guy reacting instead of following a script. I'm judging this also on his nutty manifesto. Obama supporter, gun-control idiot, I'm not impressed.
  12. Meh, I can do a Harley PGR parade on pots and pans.
  13. I love hearing liberals use the "there's no fraud" argument....from the same mouths that swore the 2000 election was rigged.
  14. Cool cops, but I'd never base my actions on that.
  15. Doesn't matter how you see it. Matters how the judge and jury do. You'll be painted as a vigilante with bloodlust, and you might lose.
  16. Pizza delivery faces most of those too...and gets shit wages. Being a mailman isn't rocket surgery or a skilled trade. They're overpaid, because anyone can do it. Not all jobs pay well because they're a pain in the ass. Septic tank cleaners and auto salvage monkeys would make big bucks if that was the case. Most times a job is worth what someone else will take your job for, and no more. In the case of postal workers, they have an artificial pay structure based on union and civil service entry, and it does not adequately reflect the value of their employees.

    Alex Jones is a dipshit....even when he's right.
  18. Only cops should have weapons of war. BTW, funny that the dipshit claims an AWB is needed and loves Obama. Even if he's 100% right and is the victim in all this (doubtful), I feel zero sympathy for him based on those two pesky facts. The LAPD can sure churn out some winners.
  19. Premeditation. Some judges will send a frustrated homeowner away for shit like this...and have.
  20. What if you posted your plan on a public forum from your IP address, one that's cached and available to law enforcement? Both ideas will likely put you in jail, and even if you didn't you'd be looking at tens of thousands in legal fees. The truth is it's a lot easier to just have a good insurance policy, and defend yourself when you have to.
  21. Has nothing to do with jealousy. I make more than most letter carriers. They're still overpaid, over-pensioned, and over-benefitted for the work they do...and that's from a "skill and value" viewpoint as well as "relative to the company's bottom line". The USPS is burdened by the cost of their employees. Yes they're wasteful, but that's not the albatross.
  22. They piss money away on stupidity, idiotic and ever-changing regulations, needless gimmicks and wasteful services....and this is on top of the unworkable pension and benefit structure. This will not fix their problems, but at least it's a start.
  23. I can't decide between the M&P22 and the SR22, I have both full sizes and I like them both equally by feel. Both seem to have a good reputation. Guess the correct answer is get both.
  24. Hi Mags. I knew it was you because you went right for the penis. Do you know where all the really dangerous people with guns are? Inner city, black populations, gangs. If there's one group of men with tiny penises, it's African Americans. I think you're on to something there.
