I see what your stance is. Pre-emptive strikes on potential threats is a very slippery slope which won’t win us any friends in the international community (which I’m sure you don’t care about) and will likely result in even more enemies, and thus more threats.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

He did a bit, IMO. I like Marquez because he seems to push harder than the others, but he was being childish.

Nice! We had one of these generation Z24s with a 5-speed growing up. I thought it looked cool for the cheap car that it was, and although I was too young to drive at the time it seemed enjoyably quick. It would probably feel slow and lame at my current age and experience, but it seemed fun back then...

Is there a video with more context? Every time I see this GIF I have to watch it a minimum of 10 loops and have always wondered, "why the excitement?"

Wow, seriously? Either you're arguing things that don't matter or are just trying to save face. We went to Iraq because they (supposedly) had active WMDs that were a threat to USA. We didn't find any weapons that fit that description. We found a lot of old, crap weapons and it would have been a stretch to call them…

Who cares what he believed? Most of America believed it, or at least wouldn’t be surprised by it, but “believing” something isn’t reason to go to war. Clinton's belief didn't result in the death of hundreds of thousands. Bush's did.

I agree with your statement. I've had disputes with people because I ultimately support going back to Iraq. I (like most?) prefer diplomacy over war, yet work in Afghanistan and support our (limited) return to Iraq. "We" screwed Iraq up and "we" indirectly armed ISIS. They're a buncha douchewaffles killing innocents…

Haha, that is a valid correction! Even in the pumped-up thirsty-for-revenge state that me and most of USA was in at the time, I thought invading Iraq was a bad idea. It blows my mind that now with all the evidence the war was a farce and has caused serious issues in the region, people STILL think it was a good idea.

I've never heard of this company before. I might get a Bell next, but I do love my Shoei RF-1200...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Didn't notice I read it wrong until I saw your comment... I was thinking, "that's some silly marketing."

I’m glad I don’t have to decide how to handle this situation. It seems obvious that Marquez was screwing with Rossi. On one hand, it’s definitely douche-activity. On the other hand, it's not technically illegal, makes the racing more exciting, and I would think the superior rider could avoid being impeded by such…

Uh, yeah. Saddam was a dickhead. I don't think anyone disputes this. But he had his country under control and only a fool would think he had the balls to attack USA. He couldn't have forgotten Desert Storm. However, had we not invaded, thousands of US soldiers wouldn't have died, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis…

Not just everyone in the military and government, but everyone in NATO and around the world. Few seem to forget how many protests were done AROUND THE WORLD telling USA to stay out of Iraq. Countries that I don't even know how they knew/cared about us getting involved. And yet, we did anyway...

Invading Iraq also killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that would probably still be alive today, not including those that have died since Isis invaded which also wouldn’t have happened if we kept out of it.

Meh, they’ll do, as long as you’re not on the edge of a mountainside on an unpaved road or crossing a 3rd world bridge when either decides to collapse...

I’ve lived in Huntsville, AL for half of my life and still haven’t been there. I just bought a new CBR600RR last time I was on vacation, but didn’t have the chance to go to a track day. You can bet that my next warm-weather vacation will be scheduled around one... Looking forward to checking out the museum as well.

Ha. You think because a Russian jet is shadowing one of our UAVs, that we’re somehow being outdone? You realize the mere fact that our unmanned vehicle is being shadowed by a manned one means we’re not being outdone?

Highly doubt it. There are strict rules on things like battery disposal and cutting copper cabling to lengths of less than 6". Of course, it all isn't followed, but if there are rules for such minor things, you can rest assured the weapons are disposed of properly. Even if they get it, I have a hard time believing…

No, sorry, I disagree. To me I’m just hearing attempted justification for acts of douchebaggery. The driver was absolutely wrong here and did something far more serious than crossing the double lines, but the motorcyclist is in no way “innocent.”
