PETA is ridiculous. I have a few friends who are Vegan, yet refuse to associate with PETA because of how they go about campaigning. I went to see PETA's Sr. Researcher give a speech at ASU about a month ago on animal testing/dissection at the school and basically what I picked up from the whole speech is that PETA refuses to accept that people with other view points have rights too. They will do anything to get their point across, yet will not acknowledge anyone elses rights who don't agree, even when respectful about it.

Looks like a waste of money on all fronts to me.

Well in that case, what did you think of the brand? I need halfway decent/ lower end price wise luggage to get me back home to Ohio from Arizona at the end of May.

Are the bags sold yet?

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

I tried to get my brothers bike out but the damned thing wouldn't start. I was pretty disappointed.

Yes.

Yeah it is. I would feel bad for him, except for the fact that he has to wear it as a result of his 3rd O.V.I. As much as it would suck to have to wear one, I think they are a good thing.

My friend has to wear one of those for the next five years.

How cheap is cheap? My brother has two surround sound systems. I'm gonna see him Wednesday, I can ask how much he'd be willing to let one go for.

I've always wondered if that program was any good too. $500.00 pretty pricey though. Although if you do any kind of customer service bi-lingual people usually make more money than non.

That's so awesome that the lowlife got caught. If my computer was even worth $250.00 I'd buy lo-jack for it too lol.

I have a Canon Rebel DSLR and have also used my ex girlfriends Nikon D40 many times. As far as user controls I like the Canon a lot more. I think its much easier to navigate the settings while shooting. As far as the need for one, that's for you to decide. I started with a "hybird" or ZLR meaning zoom lens reflex. With a ZLR you have the full ability to customize your shots as far as aperature, shutter speed, etc. ZLR cameras have come a long way as far as zooming capabilities and photo quality. Also with a ZLR you don't have to get into the investment of lenses which get very pricey. The downfall however, is that if you do end up learning enough to use the camera to its full potential, you have already spent money on a ZLR and you'll be ready for an SLR.

Honestly, I don't really feel the need to defend myself to some stranger on the internet any more than what I have. You have your opinion and nothing I say is going to change that so give yourself a big ol' pat on the back for a win in this internet argument Todd.

Haha, I asked if I could do that but the site I'm at now won't allow it. Some places I really could get away with that though.

hahahah, I love the sound of disgust when they show the girls with small boobs, then how it says "gods hand" in English above the Chinese writing.

Uh oh guys, look out for McBadAss. I'm glad to hear your situation and job allowed you to keep working while you recovered, but how about you wait until you know what I do before you say I need to grow a sack. What if I told you I actually was a sponsored runner? What if I was a cop? Or how about that I actually do work 65 hours a week, 60 of which are spent non stop on my feet walking up and down 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 slopes on a 36 acre site? Or the fact that there is a lawsuit riding on this since the accident wasn't my fault and if the doctor says I shouldn't go back to work I have to do what he says so that the truck driver's insurance that I hit won't have any leverage when it comes time to settle. Next time, ask questions, get informed, then tell me I should grow a sack.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll get a good settlement out of this whole ordeal.

hahahaha holy shit, the brian peppers ones are amazing. Especially the one with him in the rearview mirror.

Back in June I broke my left foot in a motorcycle accident that wasn't my fault. I missed out on the prime riding season for NW Ohio because of it. When I was finally released by doctors to go back to work I was immediately temporarily re-located to Arizona. Great! I can ride all year round! Wrong. Just when I think it's all over with Dr. appointments and visits, my foot starts to hurt again. I find out through an MRI scan that one of the bones in my foot hasn't bonded back together at all and I now have to have surgery on it. This all happened in the midst of shopping for a new bike now that I'm actually working again and making money. There goes my second chance at a riding this year. It's back to sitting around gaining weight with an unusable foot and being broke wondering how I'm gonna pay bills since I won't be working. This sucks.
