My biggest gripe right now is the trend of buying up all the fuggn' ammo from every single store in the world, why...because the sky is falling you bunch of Chicken Littles. WTF do you need 20k rounds of ammo in your garage for?

Other than that, Flatbillers, Fart pipes on the rice burners and WIGGERS..2 decades or not, it's still trendy and I hate it.

^^^^^^^^^^EXCACTLY^^^^^^^^^^^^, you probably don't know how to shoot anyway......biatch's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea, and did anyone say yet........................ THE TRENDY LOVE FOR OBAMA

Not my idea, but I love it !!!!!

When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers need to find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well. Wall street, and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and his board of directors gives him a big bonus.

I feel our government should not be immune from similar risks. I therefore am recommending the following cuts to be implemented by the next president elect.

Reduce the House of Representatives from the current

435 members to 218 members and Senate members from 100 to

50 (one per State).

Also reduce remaining staff by 25%.

Accomplish this over the next 8 years. (two steps / two el ections) and of course this would require some redistricting.

Some yearly monetary gains include:

$44,108,400 for elimination of base pay for congress.

(267 members X $165,200 pay / member / yr.)

$97,175,000 for elimination of the above people's staff. (estimate $1.3 Mil in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Mil in staff per each member of the Senate every year)

$240,294 for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%.

$7,500,000,000 reduction in pork barrel ear-marks each year. (those members who's jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at $15 Bil lion / yr)

The remaining representatives would need to work smarter and would need to improve efficiencies. It might even be in their best interests to work together for the good of our country?

We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well. It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing.

Congress has more tools available to do their jobs than it had back in 1911 when the current number of representatives was established. (telephone, computers, cell phones to name a few)

Note: Congress did not hesitate to jump on a train for home this week when it was a holiday, when the nation needed a real fix to the economic problems. Also, we have

3 senators that have not been doing their jobs for the past 18+ months (on the campaign trail) and still they all have been accepting full pay. These facts alone support a reduction in senators & congress.

Summary of opportunity:

$ 44,108,400 reduction of congress members.

$282,100,000 for elimination of the reduced house member staff.

$150,000,000 for elimination of reduced senate member staff.

$ 59,675,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining house members.

$ 37,500,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining senate members.

$ 7,500,000,000 reduction in pork added to bills by the reduction of congress members.

$ 8,073,383,400 per year, estimated total savings.

This is Billions people!!!

Big business does these types of cuts all the time.

Here's just a taste of what's happened so far:

-His first phone call was to Abbas, the terrorist leader of the Palestinian Authority and al Fatah;

· His first interview was on al-Arabiya News Channel, where he apologized for the United States;

· His first appointment of an envoy to Syria was the appointment of George Soros;

· He bankrolled Hamas out of Whitehouse funds to the tune of $23 million, following Israel’s invasion of Gaza to stop the missile strikes;

· He promised another 900 million to Gaza;

· He immediately adopted the Saudi Plan as policy for Israel, which favors a contiguous Palestinian state (that is, a geographic area that connects Gaza with the West Bank and includes Jerusalem – necessarily dividing Israel);

· He dismissed charges against the perpetrators of the bombing of the USS Cole;

· He announced the shut-down of Gitmo, and apologized to the Islamic world for its existence;

· He announced that his first summit would be an Islamic summit;

· He turned a blind eye to Iran’s launch of a satellite capable of triangulating coordinates for ICBMs that Iran is furiously trying to develop for the delivery of nuclear weapons;

· He turned a blind eye to the release of A. Q. Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, who is believed to be the very person to have delivered nuclear bomb technology to North Korea;

· He intends to eliminate our anti-ballistic missile defense program;

· He intends to reduce our nuclear weapons arsenal by 75%;

· He intends to reduce our military budget by 25%;

· He has reneged on developing nuclear power;

· He continues to block off-shore or expanded drilling;

· He continues to try and block the production of coal (45% of our electric generating capability)

So where does this leave us? FUKED that's where! And now he bows to a terrorist King..Nice BO, very nice

This needs to go out in one of those "send to everyone" emails. Get the word out of this AZZHAT doing shiat like this. Enough's is enough all ready.

This went on for many pages on another site. Let's see what you guys got>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Every azzhat that thinks he's a badazz "ultimate" fighter and badazz!!!!! Because he has a "tapout" sticker on his window. What a bunch of poser's. Those guys right their are the biggest wussy's. I bet Tito or Chuck don't run those sticker's.

^^^^That was me. I got my hand slapped by vegas style. But I am still looking for a good Obama picture in a sandrail, so I can continue to slam is dumb azz. Cuz, if he's in a "dune" style picture he can be talked about on this forum right???????????????????????? Then, he's all mine. Bunch of tender-r-ronies on here. :6pak:

Mike at green valley atv. He's on sunset east of 95 558-8270

I have nothing worth adding to this post!! - I have nothing worth adding to this post!! - x2

Yea, I have used him before, but the only thing he doesn't want to work on "conversion" stuff. :porn:

I am just asking around, if anyone is, or knows a guy that is a street bike mechanic. WHY????? I might have some side work working on a R1 in my Rhino. I am going to replace the clutch and do a full service on it. So it may be helpful if the guy doing it was dialed on streetbikes.

I love it when NASCAR is in town................ALL THE WAL-MARTS ARE EMPTY. I make sure to go and stock up.

hey tyler your a good guy i have no problems with you and most of your posts. but you have to let the obama stuff go its ok to have opinions and discussions. but this is a web site about sand dunes. to me this is just not the forum for it. im sure we all know how you feel about the guy. i didnt vote for him but he is who we have for the next 4 years. so how about giving this stuff a rest.

ok....ok....you're right. I just liked the picture. I will try to find one of him in a sand rail or something.

:ah:

a little, but my out look on the whole "kid" thing. You should have to qualify to have kids. Kind of like getting a marriage license. You would apply for a child license????????????? I know, I know it would never work. But some how all theses azzholes that sqeeze a bunch of welfare babies out is unfair to ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do like they do in China, 1----thats 1 kid. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this will probably start some rant, but oh well. :stir: I'm sick of paying for other people's damn kid's. Taxes should be based off your social security number, and how many kids are registered to you, is how much more YOU pay. There's an idea??????????

Thanks for your dedication to our country. It's awesome.

LOCK AND LOAD.................SHOOT FIRST AND ASK QUESTION LATER.

MY BROTHER WAS A NAVY SEAL FOR 7 YEARS....................I KNOW THE STRESS.

COME HOME SAFE, AND KICK a$$.

That's cool that Donny thought he was actually helping in that pic.

Hey Pete, does Donny have a screen name on here???

My good friend Sid works on all type's of Rhino's or SUV's. He is in Henderson off Sunset and Boulder. He can fix anything. Let me know. He has done all the work on my buddies Rhino's with 686 big bore kits to working on my R1 Rhino. He is badass at this stuff without charging badass prices.

It wasn't to me

To All My Valued Employees,

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company and, more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country.

However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interest.

First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that, for every business owner, there is a Back Story. This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear. Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside. You've seen my big home at last year's Christmas party. I'm sure; all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life.

However, what you don't see is the BACK STORY:

I started this company 28 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living apartment was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you.

My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I saved went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business -- hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.

Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting the Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the discount store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had.

So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have the freedom. I eat, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to my hip like a 1 year old special-needs child. You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden -- the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations... you never realize the Back Story and the sacrifices I've made.

Now, the economy is falling apart and I, the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money, have to bail-out all the people who didn't. The people who overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed more than a decade of my life for.

Yes, business ownership has is benefits but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds.

Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit and let me tell you why:

I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don't pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what? I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time. On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes. You know what my "stimulus" check was? Zero.. Nada. Zilch.

The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or the single mother, sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check? Obviously, government feels the latter is the real economic stimulus of this country.

The fact is, if I deducted (Read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? That's nuts. Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree, which is why your job is in jeopardy.

Here is what many of you don't understand ... to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Had suddenly, the government mandated to me that I didn't need to pay taxes, guess what? Instead of depositing that $288,000 into the Washington black-hole, I would have spent it, hired more employees, and generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have enjoyed the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But - you can forget it now.

When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb, thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart? Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the poor of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth; this is the type of change YOU can keep.

So where am I going with all this?

It's quite simple.

If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I'll fire you. I'll fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem any more.

Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire.You see, I'm done. I'm done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work, and to provide jobs, will be destroyed and, with it, will be my citizenship.

So, if you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steam-rolled the constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about....

Signed, THE BOSS

Hey Pete...................do I qualify with my R1 Rhino.............thingy???????????????

It was great. Besides my brother in law spining around his toyhauler and truck on the backside of Pahrump pass (damn ice packed roads) :ah: and destroying his bed of the truck he still made it out to make the best of it. The R1 Rhino was a hit. That thing hauls balls and is a kick in the a$$ to drive. Its not even a "Rhino" anymore. Smoked the clutch in it, which I believe was on its way out anyway, but oh well. Off to the shop.
