  1. Comparing the Ohio legislature with US Congress is not apples to apples. Drawing any conclusions would be full of flaws. If you want to discuss that, go ahead and start a new thread. If I'm interested I'll comment. If not I will ignore it.
  2. Agree. Anyone who has the attitude that "my party will make things better...but the other worse party will be the death of US" is a monumental idiot. There are too many of these morons to count, and they are propping up this broken, two-party system. As I've said many times, I have far too much pride to call myself a democrat or republican.
  3. The congressional approval rating is about 15%...yet incumbents have about a 90% reelection rate. The process could not be any more broken. Terms limits is the FIRST step toward fixing this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2013/05/09/people-hate-congress-but-most-incumbents-get-re-elected-what-gives/ Do a bit of googling...then tell me how the net worth of career senators has increased over their time in office. Then tell me how they can possibly build these personal fortunes without getting kickbacks and sucking the dick of special interest. And exactly how are they working in the best interest of the American people while passing legislation to guarantee their fortunes keep growing?

  4. Neither would I. But Obamacare is worse. So much worse, in fact, that the largest provider in Obamacare has warned it has plans to drop out. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/11/19/unitedhealth-group-earnings-downgrade-obamacare-affordable-care-act/76040322/
  5. The FIRST step towards fixing Congress is term limits.
  6. This was my biggest concern with Obamacare. Anything DC touches is less efficient than private industry.
  7. 500 miles of twisties with limited stops is great for endurance
  8. I just ordered a pair of those. Not the best looking gloves, but if they work I'll order a lifetime supply.
  9. Never heard of this. Very interesting.
  10. A neck X Ray would probably show the cause. Then you might be able to better manage it. If you see a Dr and they suggest a "Nerve Conductivity Test" don't do it. I'd rather get repeatedly kicked in the balls than go through that again.
  11. Have you seen an actual Dr about it? If not you might want to.
  12. I bought my BMW R1100R for that very reason. It's a very relaxed riding position. I sold my CBR to Blitz because I couldn't ride it anymore. My VFR isn't that aggressive, but I may be adding Helibars anyway.
  13. Vibes are a part of it. I am looking at a few new bikes with cruise control (Tiger 800 & BMW S1000R), that might help, too. I have a nerve issue in my neck. My neck doesn't bother me but it causes pain & numbness in my hands. On a few rides my hands have gone completely numb where I couldn't feel the controls at all. Not a good situation. It also happens when I ride a bicycle or push a lawnmower. I've been all around the Cleveland Clinic trying to figure it out...orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist, nerve function testing, just has a steroid injection in my spine, etc, etc. I'm not ready to give up riding just yet
  14. I may give those Olympias a try.
  15. I have a nerve issue. Im trying to extend my riding career. Gloves may help. Hell I'm even considering acupuncture at this point.
  16. Who makes the best ones regardless of cost?
  17. I like front pocket carry. Seems like this is the intent of the Curve. Seems kinda gimmicky to me. I have a feeling used ones will be fairly cheap.
  18. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. -- H.L. Mencken 1926
  19. The Botox in her lips is very distracting.
  20. I agree with Tonik. Now, I'm going to pour myself 3 fingers of Maker's Mark.
  21. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/02/17/obama-now-regrets-his-2006-alito-filibuster-white-house-says/80514152/ What a convenient time to express his regrets. Such a hypocritical shithead.
  22. That doesn't match what I've seen at all. I've had a CW9 and a CM9, both were dead reliable. I have yet to fire my CW380, but the reviews I've read were positive. I had a G42 that would FTE about 3 times per box of 50. I really wanted to like the G42, but I couldn't trust it.
  23. Interesting thing to think about... If I could have only one gun for all purposes it would probably be a Kahr P9.
  24. All-rounders tend to be compromises...just like motorcycles.
