D00d,

Did you get the Hoist restrictions in place yet?  :huepfenjump3:

We can ban politics right after everyone sees this.....

BTW Hoist, if politics gets banned so do the Friday Beer and NFL Cheerleaders Threads.  Censorship is a slippery slope.

i don't often editorialize on here and i usually wont post in any political discussions so that no one will assume that my political views are somehow the sites political views.

all of us here bleed orange and black, but when it comes to politics some lean to the right and some lean to the left. some see the world in red and some see it in blue.

it has never been site policy to ban any topics that effect our daily lives. if you feel that participation in a specific topic is pushing you toward leaving the site, then i encourage you to ignore that thread, find your blood pressure going up because of someone else's views on a topic, then ignore that thread. or reach out to another member via PM in a respectful manner and say your post offended me. such discussions don't need to be had on the 50 yrd line they can be had on the sidelines.

everyone here is an adult, and knows where the boundaries are when posting. when those boundaries are pushed is when a moderator will step in.


hopefully in time TC will have a change of heart and return. he wont be the first here to leave and come back, and probally wont be the last to do so either

Sorry Neal, my post right after yours relegated it to the bottom of page 2 where no one will see it.  It's important enough to be at the top of page 3!  :2vrolijk_21:

I can see both sides of this argument, I started replying to some of the political threads, but they do get out of hand. Many of the things posted are unsubstantiated thing that float around on the net. Most likely your not going to change anyones opinion on religion or politics anyway.
For the most part I stopped reading them, and I don't post on them anymore. As long as they don't break the rules of the site they should be allowed, but people should be thoughtful of others opinions and beliefs when posting. This is a site to bring bikers together not drive them off.

WHAT????

I got an anonymous mass e-mail the other day that clearly and factually spelled out the connection between chocolate donuts and the communist/nazi/fascist/socialist/gay and lesbian/alien/rap music conspiracy for world domination at taxpayer expense.  Since it's obvious that everything on the web is totally true and factual, I can only conclude that you are part of this conspiracy and must be, therefore, completely un-American. :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox:

Now, save one of those donuts for me, will you. ;)  Got any coffee? :drink:

Are they Democrat pork rinds or Republican pork rinds? :nervous:

I mean they have to be one or the other.  Right?

Well, they are spicy..

Later today I will give Hard10 a cigar and he will buy beer for me...that is how things should work.  Come down to DelRay and have a nice Padron Anniversario #2 Belicoso and some Guiness, I even have ssome Dalwhinnie single malt in my locker...

Then there is no right or left....

With all due respect to the honorable representative from the great state of Florida.  There is a right and a left.  I hold the Padron in my LEFT hand while holding the glass of Dalwhinnie in my right.   :2vrolijk_21:  :bananarock:

Does that make me a moderate????

A perfect summation of the state of politics in America today.  One must be extreme.

Me, I would smoke with neither hand and drink with both.  I fugure they cancel each other out.

Hey, I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, and drink brown liquor.  I've committed to a shorter life, but a very happy one.   :bananarock:

Charlie,

Well written response. I choose not to even open a political thread.  Not my cup of tea and all are entitled to their views.  I come here for entertainment (howie vs chip/brian, the world :D) and goo information about bikes and all the related bennies that go along with riding a two wheel, motorized, chromed piece of steel.

No way should we censor anything that folks have died to protect.  To each his own....
