  1. Had it done about 8 years ago, not a big deal at all. Had it done on a Friday and back to work on Monday, practically no swelling or bruising at all. My wife and I have 1 kid "he is 16 now", we have no regrets at all with 1 offspring. I kinda knew that I would only have/want 1 kid, and my wife was in total agreement. The Urologist that did mine said that he wasn't the man, if you wanted a reversal later..........he gets the job done right. I honestly think the whole procedure took like 20 min, I felt nothing at all and only had a dull pain afterwards. The shot of valium he gave me was awesome, I was high as a kite!!! Here was my guy, and he is one of the top in the country. http://www.ucomparehealthcare.com/drs/paul_n_kaufman/
  2. People kill people, guns don't kill people.......is that clear? Carrying a gun unloaded, well that is about the most asinine thing I have ever heard. Makes about as much sense as carrying not racked and ready, "although some choose to do so". A justified killing isn't murder, it is justified. Reality bites......I bite back. Carrying or not carrying is your choice, somebody wanting to do you physical harm usually isn't. Defending oneself is called self-defense not self murder. Ok I am done feeding the troll now.
  3. Darwinism will eventually catch up to them, and some folks have had most of their DNA roll down the crack of their Mom's ass. I wonder if drinking gas gives you allot of gas?
  4. Seriously take a good look at some of the things you are saying, you are letting your emotions get in the way of logic, known facts and reason. And that is why this is all so ugly, too quick to judge and too quick to act. You seem to have your mind made up, I respect that but don't have to agree or understand why. I have looked at this whole debacle from both sides, and there must be valid reasons why police and other authorities have acted the way they have. The word racial profiling should simply go away, but the action of profiling is real and we all do it to some extent. Numbers and percentages exist for a reason "right or wrong", and everything is profiling to a degree. Human nature will never cease to exist, and first impressions are real although not always correct. Both George and Trayvon made some risky decisions that night, and those decisions have us to the point we are at now. Will you be able to accept the truth if George is found not guilty of murder or manslaughter, do you accept the possibility that not all is as it appears to be? We shall see how this ends, but we know it will never end. There are blatant racists and bigots from both sides, and neither wants racism to end......therefore it won't.
  5. He is acting like a man who is totally scared for his life, that is how I am seeing it. And I wouldn't put much merit into the latest media info either......have we not learned yet.
  6. Discussions are usually a good thing, but I have read some long winded ranting from some, whom I am thinking hasn't honestly followed this developing story. Also seems like a few chips on shoulders, but that is just my observation. Chips on shoulders, living in the past, racial bias, MONEY and just flat-out bad information.....has made this whole situation a clusterfuck. Remember.....this isn't a racial thing, it is a right and wrong thing. And one last thing, WHY NOT completely do away with the whole word and classification of "minority", that way nobody is thought to be less than or below anyone.
  7. Listen to the real uncut 911 call, and listen carefully as to what George said about Trayvon to the dispatcher. There has been allot of break-ins in this community, and George obviously did not recognize Martin. Raining or not, dark or not.....looking and acting a certain way "regardless of race" does in fact bring attention to yourself. Robert Zimmerman the father of George, was just on Hannity the other night on Fox news and gave the blow by blow scoop on what George said "exactly happened" to the police. Trayvon was not walking home with purpose, he was very much looking around and in a suspicious way. George also reported that Trayvon was looking at him, and he did in fact run and got out of sight, which is why George got out of his vehicle in the first place. The main reason George said he got out of the vehicle was to get an address for the police as to where he lost contact. The sidewalk ended along a line of Townhouses, George got the address of the last house and went back to his vehicle. This is where and when the "claimed" altercation occurred between him and Martin. So lets just see what happens after the dust settles, I am betting that George might very well walk out of this a free man. Either way his life is FUCKED!!!!!
  8. Whomever is guilty, hopefully justice will prevail "and the public can handle it"........sad reality is that there are some folks lives that will never be the same "ever". I agree 100% that George should have never exited his vehicle, but I also feel 100% that Martin should've kept on walking. Should've....would've.....could've!!!!
  9. You really need to get a grip on reality, do you happen to carry a firearm for protection? You are doing a really good job of faulting another person's actions, when you have no idea how you yourself would react. Don't pass such harsh judgement on a guy that protected himself, and do you honestly think this Trayvon kid is innocent? There is a very good reason why such young innocent pics have been used of him, and no he wasn't visiting somebody......he was kicked out of school and was staying with his Dad's fiance. The media has messed your head up, use common sense and the facts that are "known" not what you think happened. The shooter didnt make this about race, I am betting he would've done the same no matter what the ethnicity was of the suspicious person. I would've had my hand on my gun way before George Zimmerman did, he needed to display and announce ASAP that he was armed and wanted no problems. Seems he didnt even have time to do that, for all we know he took a beating before the gun was even used. This Martin kid is no saint "his parents know that too", and who in their right mind would approach an adult who had been watching/following them to begin with? I will let the law run its course, and I pray for this country that justice is served for "all the right reasons". This will just get uglier no matter what the outcome is......lose lose situation, and racism is sadly very much alive and well.
  10. I am still betting on the great owl as the culprit.
  11. You are still able to hear somewhat with earplugs, but blast music in your ears and you will hear nothing but music. Now add loud music to wind-noise while cruising down the road, makes sense to me why it should be illegal. I seriously doubt anybody would get a ticket for wearing "earplugs" on their motorcycle, regardless of what the law states. The earplugs are going to help you not damage your ears, the blasting of music inside your ears will surely cause damage. The music is also a distraction while riding IMHO, which none of us needs. To each their own however.
  12. Very nice.....now replace that massive exhaust with a nice Muzzy!!!!!
  13. Yeah he is already so overrun, that he throws them out when they are caught "little ones". That Heron was doing him a huge favor, and I'm sure others are still trying to help out. They do love frogs, so that was his other complaint as well.
  14. If it is illegal in a car, it is most certainly illegal on a motorcycle. Would they and do they actually site you for it, that is a good question. I have a good buddy who is a state trooper, I will ask him.
  15. They many times kill specifically for the brains.....so makes perfect sense. Yes I happen to be a bird freak, appreciate and respect those creatures so much. And if that is a great horned owl, he very easily decapitated that rabbit. They are even known to attack and kill red tailed hawks, these bad boys have no known predator other than man.
  16. True enough......but how is that the owl's fault? Birds of prey have every right to hunt and live where they desire, we just have to live along with them. I am still pissed at my best friend "years later" for killing a great Heron, just because it was hunting a few bluegill in his pond.
  17. No......don't kill that Owl, that would be seriously sad "AND ILLEGAL" and messed up!! Yes that owl can pick up your tiny dog and kill it no problem, they kill cats and birds all the time. Just be careful early morning and at night, that is when Owls are most active and hunting. He/she is just being an Owl, keep your dog inside unless it is full on daylight.
  18. Close the damn thread already and...........
  19. And candy must be thrown to the kids!!!!!
  20. This thread still going?:whogives:
