  1. Well, sure, if you wanna be crudely dumb about it, sure, go ahead and personalize/demonize him or anyone else who has a differing opinion all you want. It's an Ad-Hominem Fallacy and is indicative of lazy thinking. Both sides do it in spades, and its ripping the country apart IMHO. It directly leads to entrenched stalemates until someone goes to extremes and justifies lawless violence under the excuses of religion, country, lifestyle or resource claims. Sorry for being an ass about it but IMHO the problem with 'Merica today is exactly this kind of hypocrisy. Government is nothing but a naked reflection of who we allow ourselves to be as individuals. We expect (no, demand!) that others listen to and respect us, yet we come up short on the flip side.
  2. Watch it. Any more controversial and I'll have to flag this thread.
  3. Thanks, good background in the article too
  4. I sure hope none of y'all verbalizing desire for harm of an elected official ever complain about others' ill-regard for life, law and order.
  5. Another +1. Posturing and retaliation from either side, no matter how big or small, just keeps the ball bouncing along. And ad-hominem attacks are just plain juvenile!
  6. I propose a new rule. Following a VP's firearm advice earns you a hunting date with a VP. The public gets to pick the VP. "May the odds be ever in your favor!"
  7. Biden didn't tell him to do this, Biden said that's what he would tell his mother. Stupid advice not withstanding, as such, there's absolutely no legal culpability. IP's right, nothing to see here.
  8. Hello fellow Westervillian. You can see me periodically on a VStar 1100, Nighthawk 700 or teaching my GF how to rider her scoot. Welcome and ride safe!
  9. Would you guys please just get a room?
  10. Or it could have been a "Dungeons and Dragons" game gone horribly wrong since it wasn't long ago we were warned about its satanic connections. DOJ sources have refused to confirm or deny this as an investigative angle. No word yet on if Zimmerman or Martin owned 20-sided dice, and more questions have been raised than answers. I demand a committee to look into it immediately...
  11. I rarely commute on the bike. Everyone's half asleep, in a hurry, thinking about other stuff, fumbling with their phones and coffee and food and getting kids to day care. When I ride, it's usually after people are at home, eating and working in the yard.
  12. Scruit, I watched that interview as well and you've done an excellent job summarizing it. I thought Anderson Cooper was pretty damned neutral for a newsie - he deserves a lot of respect for it in my book.
  13. I couldn't have said it better.
  14. Cabella's in Wheeling had one No. 4 rifle in decent shape for $279. Nagant 91/30 rifles were $199. Crazy.
  15. Agreed. Both Z and M made poor decisions that led to a tragedy. I wish everyone would let it go as it stands today, but that won't happen.

    I'm really sorry man. I don't know ya, but thoughts and best wishes.
  17. I'd personally put it at $150-175 in this market, but yea, its hard to say. Others know more than I do but I saw that Enfield buyers usually are 1) picky collectors looking for a deal but willing to buck up for special pieces, 2) milsurp fans willing to shell out 100-200 for a cosmetically good, great shooter, or 3) someone looking to sportsterize a cheap hunting platform closer to $100 plus goodies.
  18. When I hear logical analysis like this, my faith in humanity increases slightly. Somebody please go full retard so that I don't have to spend the evening believing people are capable of subtlety.
  19. Looks great! Makes me miss mine.
  20. You guys with trucks and trailers are so lucky...
  21. I appreciated your story. For some reason I'm digging more mid-sized, lighter and less-performant air-cooled bikes these days, at least for in-town riding. I've been teaching my GF how to ride her 125cc scooter and ya know, it's actually quite a hoot to zip around on a 250 lb bike. I'd gladly pick up a GS500 or lighter for the purpose. Oh, and that review had my GF and me in stitches - too funny!
