It's all fun and games till you start dissing a Harley.



Harley's are extremely over-priced and over-hyped. All you're paying for is the name. Japan makes much better cruisers.

Q: Do you know the difference between a harley and a hoover?

A: The position of the dirtbag.



They only seem overpriced to those who can't afford them. :o

I tend to look not at the asking price, but at the cost to own ie. initial price minus resale value. In that light the metrics can't hold a candle to a Harley. Plus chicks dig guys on Harleys. :ph34r::ph34r:

They're over-priced...period.

Forget price. Compare similiar priced Japanese cruisers to Harley's and you'll see Harley can't compare. You're simply paying for a name. Harley's are crap.

These are real cruisers.



Now check the used market for them. Talk about depreciation. I've got a 2002 Fat Boy I might sell you for close to what I paid for it, but only if you ask politely.

Many think a Mercedes is over priced except those who understand overall value. Then it makes perfect sense.

And people keep DEFENDING him and are happy he got away with it.



Mostly chicks who think he has nice hair.

Actually, when a poll was taken and women were asked if they would have sex with Clinton, 80% said "never again". ;)



Power is an aphrodesiac. The boss of my firm is as ugly as they come, talking short (5'02'), bald (mr.clean) aka mini me, arrogant and comes across as rude. But he's always with a gorgeous girl, (although they never wear heals), its the money and power that attracts both men and women. I bet you over half of that 80% would sleep with BC if he was still Pres and they met him at a dinner party or other such event.

To me, those aren't motorcycles.



Well it's a good thing no one listens to you.

Someone must think Honda makes good cruisers. The Valkyrie Rune was named cruiser of the decade. And what a sweet cruiser she is. Harley can't touch it.

Oh well. Time for me to count sheep. Peace.

And if you want to continue the morals argument, I think it says volumes about the priorities in this country when a convicted criminal is elected to the White House.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I think it says volumes about us when we have a guy lie under oath and commit perjury and we do nothing to him.



I suppose it is settled that each in his own way is a "bad person"... at least lying about blow jobs doesn't put anyone's life in danger.... driving drunk sure as hell does!! I suppose it'd be different if he'd hit someone while driving drunk, huh?? I don't see it any differently, it is just as wrong to drive a vehicle that can be deadly in a state in which your control is limited as it is to actually hit someone with your vehicle while drunk. Committing perjury by lying about getting a blow job is wrong. Driving drunk is, imo, even more wrong.

And the second most powerful man in the world can lie about torturing civilians and get away with it. Which is worse, lying about an affair or lying about how you approved violations to the Geneva Convention, a convention used to protect the lives of american soldiers?

No one seems to mention that Clinton was really entrapped. Linda Tripp tipped off Kenneth Starr, who again tipped off Paula Jones’ lawyers.

Starr wanted them to ask Clinton the Monica question during the disposition because he knew this would force him to lie. Most people would have.

Starr was supposed to investigate Whitewater and he could not find anything, so he used Tripp’s information – as he was out to get Clinton, one way or the other.

I would say that there are mitigating circumstances here. Morally Clinton was /is not the nicest character, but then again – what about many other powerful men? JFK is called a great President and he was far worse when it comes to his sex live – including very young women and sharing a lover with a mafia boss. And if you would dig into the background of most politicians in Washington with the same vigour Starr did with Clinton, you would find a lot of dirt…

I still believe it is far worse if a politician lies or misleads about matters of war or policies then about a blowjob. No matter if he lied under oath or not…

Well, my post may not be quite as shocking GM, what with its relatively small size, but that's just because i'm only posting a link to a chart showing who the skydiving president pardoned. You can do the rest of the legwork yourself.

And you are to young to know that 20-30 years ago a DUI was no big deal....It is a big deal now, but when Bush got his it was not. Its not like he got one while he was in office.

However, perjury has ALWAYS been a big deal. I could not care about the BJ...But I do care that he lied under oath.


Also I am not holding Flowers against Clinton....I am holding his lying under oath against him...Something he did WHILE being the President...I am not holding a minior discretion that he did 25 years ago against him.

Big difference.

He was arrested, put on trial, and convicted of a crime. I would think that's a big deal in any decade.



Uh, if I am arrested for jaywalking vs Murder...There is a big difference.

Back 25 years ago, a DUI was not a big deal. A slap on the wrist...I knew several people that had them. Today it is a much bigger deal.

Clinton lied under oath.

So we have a guy that is the President of the United States lying under oath about doing something that was not a big deal...What other things that were a big deal would he lie about?

We have a guy that 25 years ago got a DUI....He served his time and has since not had another problem.

We have a third guy that admitted to commiting war crimes, and letting war crimes happen while he watched.

Out of the three.....I'll go with the guy with the 25 year old DUI.

Please don't take this as a partisan comment because I don't mean for it to be. Back when I got my license, a DUI wasn't that severe an offense. Don't get me wrong. I think it is now, take it very seriously, and won't do it. Back then, however, I did a lot. I should have gotten a DUI on several occasions. I was let go one night to drive straight home when I was PISS drunk (I emphasize that) by a police officer who happened to be the brother of a guy I went to high school with. Another let me go crossing the bridge leaving Columbus, GA and heading back to Auburn, AL. I could hardly see straight and I had friends in the car with me that night. I've got friends who've had DUI's from back then. Again, I've changed a bunch since then and don't do that kind of stuff anymore but it just wasn't the offense back then as it is now. Now, lying under oath and committing perjury...that's a serious crime! You can't really compare the two. You couldn't even really compare the two if we were talking about a DUI within the last decade. It's still "apples and oranges" IMO. I still think they're both wrong, however, I can't see the two as being equal just because you're tried, convicted, and sent to jail.

I understand the penalty wasn't as severe. But just because the penalty has changed doesn't mean it was "less serious" back then. It still killed people.



What Ron and Pajarito are saying is true. A DUI wasn't considered any more serious than speeding. I had a friend who was pulled over, given a ticket and then driven home by the Police Officer. He wasn't even required to appear in court, just pay a $50.00 ticket and 3 points on his license IIRC.

Thing change and societys attitudes change. Remember, there was a time when cocaine and heroin were legal. Cocoa Cola even had real cocaine in it. It was acceptable back then but isn't now. You certainly wouldn't view an opium smoker like Edgar Allen Poe back then the same way you would today.

I applaud groups like MADD for changing societys attitude towards drunk driving and drunk drivers. They have saved tens of thousands of lives. But, you can't really be too hard on GWB for getting charged with something that wasn't view as any worse than a speeding ticket back then.

I was of driving age back then, and understood it was quite wrong. Drove really looped once, and realized that if something happened there was no way I'd be able to deal with it.

That was in 1977, so the information was available at least to me. The official penalty should not be the only determinant of how wrong something is.

Comparing being caught driving drunk with lying under oath about a blowjob is comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruit, yes, but there are a lot of differences. Some folks like apples, some like oranges. So which is better?

Can't answer that until you tell me which one represents the blow job. ;)
