Subject: Warning! Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:56:20 05/10/10 Mon I think its worth noting that threads on this board are edited to the liking of the Forum Boss. This in not unlike how the Bible came to be in its present form. The text has been edited to suit the politics of the time. Alternate views deleted if they challenge the party line. It takes away some of the value just like burning some of the library books does. A slippery slope which this forum has slide part way down. Be warned that while it is a public forum it is by no means a place of free speech. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Joe Truth [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:22:46 05/11/10 Tue Bob, truth has just cause. But not everyone in this life can acknowledge , or accept it. This thread will most likely get deleted, so I'll say this: Japanese Motorcycles are the way to go. Harleys are too fkn loud! BMWs are too damn quiet! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Bob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:18:49 05/11/10 Tue The truth is not influenced by acknowledgment or acceptance. It stands on its own even if nobody notices. Religion often stakes a claim on truth. Brand identity applied to the truth is like calling the Sun Christian. Motorcycles are just another way to slide on down the line with a smile on your face. The Brand is secondary to the experience. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Forum Boss [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:25:44 05/11/10 Tue I'll keep this thread open for your idle banter as long as you are respectful and stay off the others. I think I'll change the name to 'idle worship' though (pun intended). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'll be heading to the flea market Saturday....then from there, I may end up in Montpelier with a dozen eggs. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

They use them to keep the horse in line when seeing the whole world might make them hard to control. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:41:44 05/12/10 Wed the information is as follows: bob posted a 'warning' telling all to watch out for the forum boss, who will delete contrary posts. joe counters bob's position on truth, but basically agrees that it looks like a challenge to forum boss and deletion is eminent, so he throws in a cuss word for good measure and promotes japaneese engineering over all other motorbikes. The forum boss makes executive decision to allow idle banter on this thread to continue as long as it doesn't spill over to other more pertinent discussions. bob maintains what I have said all along here at the Tim O'Rourke Forum that truth is not debatable, it just is and I add that focusing on it is the best way there is to real freedom in this life and beyond. I'd say that's an optimistic view of convergence just begging for something contrary to emerge... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Jon [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:53:25 05/13/10 Thu Interesting opinions shared by those found here on the T. O. website. We all live in our own realities and prefer it that way. Blind faith is a way of life for some and an enjoyable beer for others. There are two kinds of motorcycles, Harley Davidsons and all the others, as I said we all live in our own realities!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:18:15 05/13/10 Thu this reminds me of Plato's dialogues! You all honor me in visiting here, whether or not you agree... On June 19th I'm scheduled to play the Living Room (across from Dick Mazza's in Malletts Bay) at 7:30pm. You are all invited to come out and heckle me as I sing what I believe, as long as you bring at least $20 for the door fee! No alcoholic beverages on premises, but I assure you a night to remember... You can send your $20/person to Creative Kingdom Concepts @ P.O. Box 151, Montpelier Vermont 05601 in advance, to assure a seat. I have already reserved 10 of the 40 seat capacity for this night.

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Bob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:45:15 05/13/10 Thu Tim you just can't stop twisting words can you. You have the blinders on and that's why you can't see the whole truth. Its also why alternate views make you feel threatened. There is only one real motorcycle. That's the one sitting in your garage ready to ride. Not sure what it means when you have two in the garage. Probably means something but I am not sure what. I have decided the Blue one will be sold to someone. I got a great riding suit which makes the Red one comfortable in cold weather. So if you know anyone who wants an old Air Head lemmi know. I would like it to go to a person who would take care of it and use it often. I will advertise it shortly and take 2500 for it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Joe [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:04:22 05/14/10 Fri Tim, you state "no alcohol". Beer and wine are allowed at the Livingroom. Is this something you are requesting? Because house rules are house rules, and I'll be bringing a couple of brews. How else will I make it through your Jesus show? Does Carol know you're collecting the $ up front? Not the way it works boy. Folks are suppose to get their reserved tickets from the website: livingroomvt.com Of course, folks can purchase tickets at the door too. Carol wanted me to ask you to send her a description/bio of your show and a photo to list on upcoming events page. Matt did the website and is in charge of updating it, so send your info to Carol, so he can do it soon. I suppose it really doesn't matter how the LR gets their take, but there is a system in place. Bob, yellow is where it's at for sure. I've been noticing Harley guys on their black machines wearing black, blending with the road. Pretty stupid, if you ask me, especially in bad light. I still have yet to have someone pull out in front of me, and my yellow jacket. I just ordered a HD on-board-pov video camera. Comes with all sorts of mounting options. Going to make for some professional looking videos of rides on bikes and skis. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Warning! Author: Bob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:18:35 05/14/10 Fri Joe you Ba_ta_d! I want one of those cameras. Ya yellow is an understatement. This suit is really loud, you will see. Too much for most appearance minded riders, Cheap insurance really. Joe you be very happy to know I have a cell phone. I will call you on it as soon as I master the UI. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
