I'm sure this thread will get locked at some point due to some peoples political opinions about this. But let me pose one question before that happens.....

Would those kids have worn the same outfits on May 6th?

75 percent of all my threads get locked.. I didnt post it up in NO Moto content.. Everyone here knows me very well here..

I dont wonder out of NMMR anymore..

This might have been a good opportunity for the school's administration to teach a little tolerance (especially tolerance of the MAJORITY...duh) to the whiners.  Nobody said anything bad about Mexicans, they just showed that they're Americans.  What's wrong with having a little pride?  It's something sorely lacking in American youth at large.

Would Jewish kids be thrown out of school for wearing a menorah tee shirt or symbol around Christmas?  Would the Mexican kids be thrown out of school for wearing Mexican symbology around Independence Day, or Veteran's Day, or President's Day?  Would welfare kids be thrown out of school for wearing their raggedy clothes to school near Labor Day?  Where does it end?

How about we throw kids out of school for threatening other kids, or for fighting, or for bullying, or for insulting other kids based upon religion, national origin, economic status, or a number of other attempts at degrading another human being?  There are plenty of reasons to legitimately throw kids out of school without looking for stupid ones ..... like wearing an American Flag .... which I personally find disrespectful to the flag, but that's just me.  Wear red, white, and blue all you want, but when you form them into a flag and wear them I think it's disrespectful.  And, "Yes".....I did put myself into harm's way for my country and its flag, so I feel well voicing that opinion.

Now, can we move on to other insulting activities, like riding by cops and hoisting the finger, please? (Whilst riding a red, white, and blue Nicky Hayden replica, of course!!!!)

Will do..

We still love you M!   :-*

Awwwwww....  You sure DucMouse doesn't mind?  ;)

What she doesn't know doesn't hurt her.. ;-). LoL

I agree with Cloner on this: Tolerance is better for everyone's blood pressure.

I'm wearing my American flag banana hammock today.  OK, fine, it looks more like a postage stamp ( apparently, Nic can attest), but it does have a flag on it  ;D

Back to a question I have asked you guys for awhile now: Honky cultural center.  Anybody have a mobile home they aren't using? 


Scott, Yes I'm kidding.  The only flag I have is one a friend gave to me that flew over base during Desert Storm, with a hand written letter from the President.  ...I couldn't breath for about 20min.  When my father passed I put the letter with him.   I still have the flag & a cert. of authenticity   [thumbsup]

fyi,

mexican independence day is Sept 16th.

Cinco de Mayo was pimped by the beer companies to sell their beer. It's about as Mexican as St. Paddy's day is truly Irish.

just sayin

Did someone say BEER?    [drink]  [drink]  [drink]  [drink]  [drink]  [drink]

I can wait 'til setiembre, just give me mobile home, damnit!!!

i *heart* beer

 [drink]

If you'll just fashion a sign that reads "will make the beast with two backs for food" and stand on the corner of Central and Wyoming I'll bet you can find a pimp who'll put you up in a BRAND NEW used mobile home, with benefits!  If that doesn't work, just let me know and I'll pimp that azz out and see what I can do about finding at least a cheap motel room with "clean" linens for ya to "work" from.  [bacon] [bacon]

For those who are lost (yes, I see you looking around in confusion, DM), just watch I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and all of your questions will be answered!  (not to mention that the "aquarium shoes" scene would make a perfect addition to your movie reel tattoo!)

Oh, yeah.  I gots my fish shoes ready for ya, KB!!

So if a Hispanic person gets pulled over in phoenix, and the cop says "Papers." and the guy being pulled over says "Scissors." Does the guy win?

hahahahahahhah that rules \m/

My wife is a teacher.. her students forwarded that to her on numerous occasions yesterday.  I say drop that visor, twist that wrist and go.  you'll be over 150 before he's back in his car!   [leo]

This can't be a thread jack, cuz I said WTF.

So, there I was at the shin dig at PJ's tonight, he (PJ) asked if I wanted to go ride bicycles tomorrow (I rode over 70 today ...fixed gear), we went into the Dyno room so he could show me a bike he wanted me to try out (don't ask why he keeps them in there), I turn around, and...WTF!!! I see the hottest 696 EVER    :o

Tomorrows weather looks like $$$, So, why is it there, Ms M?

it wasn't a pearl white 696 by chance?

Why yes it was.

hahaha i just saw the last part of your ???

well many reasons.  :-\

i've got an oil leak in the engine so they're going to check it out.
and a little league game to go watch.
and i am not sure about taking her out on a big ride because of the Ex box ... i'm still trying to figure out what to do about the ecu ... fat duc or race ecu... or nothing ?

As long as you left the air box alone, there is absolutely nothing to worry about...period.  When you add more air, then you will need to change air/fuel mixture.  'til then... ride the hell out of it.  [thumbsup]

i have a WTF.

since when did alpinestars become some crappy hipster high fooloootin riding clothing company?

all i want is to replace my baseball cap and they don't make them for the wimmens anymore? now it seems like i'm looking at the neiman marcus or bebe website.

done and done. it's a shame i left before you got there. got to meet stuart though!  :)

Yes, So sorry I got there a bit late.  No worries though, you got to meet the handsome one in the family.
