  1. If that is advertising, then the bowtie logo afixed to his tailgate it, as is each dealership sticker on every single car in that lot. The prez of the HOA is probably some pigeon chested former squid who was given the 'what-for' by a jarhead back in the day and this is his cowardly way of exacting revenge. What a dickfuck.

    OMG, no you didn't just go there.

  2. Pride or Sales Pitch?

    The explosive reaction to the Home Owner Association's attack on 58 year old disabled War Veteran, Frank Larison, can be likened to "Operation Rolling Thunder". (the carpet bombing campaign of North Vietnam starting in 1965... ending in '68) Larison says he spent 13 months in Vietnam and 14 years total service... while the comparison might be a stretch... the emotions of viewers are nevertheless real, raw and inflamed!

    As I began to gather the facts of the story, I quickly found out that not only did neighbors NOT have a problem with Larison's "stickers" (you can decide later if they are advertisements or displays of patriotism) two HOA board members I spoke with said they had no idea there was even an issue... let alone a letter threatening to tow or fine if not the decals were not covered or removed. Interestingly enough I noticed both board members appeared to be in violation of the same By-Laws.

    Quote from the letter: "A vehicle with painted or decal advertising of any kind is not permitted on the property at any time."

    One board member had a "Find a Cure" decal on his SUV, the other had a decal of a Fleur de Li.

    This gets back to the question of just what is advertising? And what is free speech, not to mention troop support and patriotism? I also pointed out in the story that virtually every car in the parking lot had an "advisement sticker" on it, naming the dealership in which they bought their vehicles. Those are clearly advertisements.

    Having been a part of an HOA, there are reasons for community rules... but there should also be reasoning applied when interpreting them.

    In fairness, I have not been able to reach the HOA president. Board members tell me she is on vacation and they don't know how to reach her. The management company, Alternative Management refused to comment directing me to the HOA president. There are two sides to every story. I have yet to hear hers, but in this case it seems... it's kind of like the decals; one side is sticky... the other a proud display.

    By the way just spoke to a law firm who is planning on representing Larison for free. They meet tomorrow. Stay tuned!

    Vet Overwhelmed by Exposure of HOA Fight

    A lot of Home Owners Assn are just screwed up.

    Here's a bit more on this.

  3. I'm new here.... but I could probably help set something up for NEO... I know there's a bike night for QSL on Wednesdays up here but you tell me what you want.

    It's not what we want it's what you and the members in that area want. i would try by best to make it to other cities bike nights.

  4. I washed my bike today as well.

    Not sure I needed all that.... also, has anyone tried Turtle Wax Color Cure? I have some scratches I can't get out and I wanted to try something else...

    When do you have time to ride it?

  5. I'm not coping. I'm laughing. It was funny and now that the idiot is dead the rest of us should come away from this feeling a bit smarter.

    If it were a friend of mine I would be sad. Not because they died but because I befriended someone that fucking stupid. :(

    Very good points. I will have to ponder this a bit more.

  6. agreed, what more could you want? a booty thread?? wait...you have that too!!! LOL

    Wait a second. There are women posting in these threads. Though many of these posts are quite excellent, there are still posts.

    That being said I don't think we need an Mail only sub-forum and we probably need the supervision.

  7. yeah, i guess i don't get it. I mean, i'm not claiming that people who laugh at this aren't good people, just that i really really don't get it. Are you able to laugh at them because you don't know them? or bc he was doing something stupid? I just see that and think wow, he has a family and probably friends. Maybe i'm just up too late and being cranky, but i don't see how its funny. care to explain?

    ^ I find that to be a little funny. dork.

    It's because it wasn't you dying. We all know that life can end in an instant and when we see it happen to others we can either joke or be upset about it. I don't think anyone here would say that it was funny that he did die, but seeing as he did die what are you going to do? Joking about it is a coping mechanism.
