unfortunate indeed that you feel the need to try to be funny about something so serious. i saw some stills of the shooting previously but did not look into the story until just now and was appalled that you use this as part of your "act" here. not once, but multiple posts over a couple days!

remember that day you got all butt hurt and announced you were taking your ball and going home and not posting/visiting here anymore? man i wish that would have stuck.

That was informative. I obviously have not been following the massive spread of the beetle.
The study and observations that some trees are beetle resistant is a good thing.
It seems politics and the government based studies are on the wrong path... as usual.

As for Facebook; can anyone name one good thing that has come from that POS social media site?
I had a account for two/three days when it started and closed it. Constant emails about "do you know this person?" "Can we access your contact list", ect. It's not for me.
I would never have a facebook account again.
And when it started it did nothing but cause relationship issues and drama.
It still has done nothing but cause drama. I was recently informed there was a local dispute in my friends neighborhood that ended up in a fight because some local D-Bag, millennial, pervert was following High School girls on FB. The guy is single, no kids and one of those Type A Ferrari driving business types. And the looser is following HS girls in the neighborhood,WTF! None of this crap would happen if that EFFING site was shut down.

People need to unfollow everything and stop using that site.

F politics and all the politicians, drive your Porsche and be happy. Life's too short for all this nonsense. On the road again after sitting in a barn for 41 years, this is happiness. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1602795020.JPG

^ Car looks killer.

Best post here in weeks.

So Nice!
What is wrong with me that makes me love weird details like the front bumperettes and snorkel washers?

agreed. that is the sentiment i ended my last qoute with, or tried to anyway. i reckon i was being a little too cute to translate on the interwebs...

I didn't even see your comment until now. But then I didn't even know he was trolling until Tobs said so. Telling you guys, hiding him was the best person ever. At least Suga occasionally provides entertainment.

watched it last night. wow!. so much manipulation...


on another note, F this guy. https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/1320410/trump-administration-rejects-california-fire-disaster-declaration-request.html

The orange guy is so focused on playing games and getting payback, at all costs, that it's really something to see.

Never in history have we had a bigger arsehole in the White House who is willing to punish the residents of a whole state because the majority voted for his challenger 4 years ago. His whole “if you aren’t with me you are against me” will be his downfall. People are waking up to the fact that he just doesn’t give a damn about average Americans. All he cares about is ratings and winning bigly. He’s unfit to govern.

I agree, but it goes both ways. Pelosi and Trump with their personal dispute is hurting everyone.
And we have the same guy Governing CA with the White House in his sights. His personal dispute with Disney is hurting every entertainment park in CA. That ripples from the employees to the suppliers and on down the line.
IMO, All politicians are behaving irrational this year.

Pelosi isn't President. You're being sold what they are selling. Mitch wouldn't pass the bill. Trump is blaming her, but ignoring that the other branch of the legislature also wouldn't do his version. Kind of like DACA and everything else Trump has failed to get done. He hasn't coordinated with his own party very much the last 4 years, and it's why even before Nancy and the Dems took the House in 2018 nothing got done. Trump is an incompetent negotiator and his one trick over and over again is to walk away from the bargaining table when he doesn't get his way.

Yes..... Someone was shot in the head during the current administration..... someone was shot in the head during the past administration and someone will be shot in the head in the next administration..... History shows someone was shot in the head during Lincoln's administration....... what does that have to do with the fact that TODAY there is no common cause that will move us to a middle ground for the benefit of all..... Am I naive thinking that any issue could create a greater good moment..... yes very naive given that there has been so much "Brand" recognition created by being polarizing whether left or right....

well said Mac.

as i mentioned i watched the social dilemma on netflix per nick's recommendation last night and what an eye opener. the algorithms and tracking of your specific clicks on subjects dictates what you are fed reinforcing what it is you actually believe to be true. accurate or not.

with what i saw last night there is no wonder we as a society may never come back to any semblance of common ground. the "united" in united states is gone for ever, or until there is something the likes of 9/11 to find a common enemy once again. let the record reflect i would under no circumstance hope for another tragedy like that, but there is little else to unite this fractured country.

im concerned, very concerned about the next 6-8 months as to what will unfold here. im not talking about the covid either, but that too is a concern now moved to 3 or 4 on the list.

Well said. Hopefully the looming depression will snap people back to a love thy neighbor understanding. If not, a lot of Americans are going to needlessly starve and die or just plain suffer a lot.

Porsche Marketplace Discussion?
 

Why is this not PARF. It's called Pelican Parts Porsche Marketplace Discussion. How about you try talking about subjects like Porsche Marketplace?

Great 5th post whomever you really are. Gotta love how people pull out their back up ID when they want to say something unpopular.

Ben Sasse calling it like he sees it. The emperor has no clothes.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/10/15/us/politics/ben-sasse-trump.amp.html

Thanks..... This election is a struggle..... as a capitalist country we are incentivized by a profit motive..... this has created an undeserved strength for, IMO, a very unlikable and antagonistic individual.....

Matt, Are you able to understand my question? Why do you take this crap here? This is the "Porsche Marketplace Discussion". There are other outlets such as "Off Topic Discussion" for your hate of our president. Simple question really.

You would think COVID-19 would have been the denominating factor that would have united us today. Sadly it has divided us more. It’s only when it hits close to home with death that perceptions will change.

Thanks for making your real objection to OT discussions perfectly clear.

we have our own little community over in these parts that participants are very familiar with one another and we discuss a number of varying topics. i would not go to PARF if it was the only forum left here on pelican because there are no civil discussions there to be found.

here's what I'd suggest, don't click on any thread started by sweetstump, or anything over say,,,, 5 pages and you'll be in good shape. simple as that really.

so, take your 5 posts and go where the topics suit your needs better. otherwise don't come to our house telling us what we should be discussing as a group.

I get your point, but for many years, Marketplace has been a place for forum regulars to discuss off topic subjects, and exchange friendly nonsense banter, particularly in threads like this - seems perfectly fine to me.

BTW - I love PARF, but see why many do not enjoy that sub-forum.

Already said , PARFlite !

You would love something called PARF

Your question is irrelevant. Nobody forced you to read this thread. If you started at the beginning you would see quickly that it was another of Suga’s stupid rant threads. So we hijacked it, as we are wont to do. We chatter about all manner of things, including forest fires, pets, kids, and even politics. Don’t read this thread if it offends you. It really is that simple.

There are plenty of other legitimate threads in Marketplace for you if you actually want to participate in this forum. As for lurking? 5 years and you double your post count in an afternoon because you are whining about what you don’t like. Go find a real discussion and participate. That’s all it takes. And then stop reading this thread because it doesn’t interest you.

My 29 year old millennial far left daughter watched The Social Dilemma as well and texted me: "This is terrifying". For the record, she had already deleted FB from her life and lives by her phone.

Really smart, independent people can differentiate between what is perceived to be going on and what is true. With mainstream media and servers working against us, it isn't a fair fight anymore.

I too fear for us as a country in the next 6-12 months. The United States of America is no longer united. If you think it's ugly now, wait until he loses the election.

Victim was a nobody no one knows no one cares.

There are many who are engaged in creating that utopia "for the benefit of all". The "angry kids" are just the useful idiots to facilitate the process.

Sarcasm in the proper font emphasized for the likes of the caveman.

I know who !

You are in danger of receiving a biggly pimp-slap, bro!!!

Saw sugha poking around over there as well ... don't think he enjoys it either !

So what's left ? PARFlite !!!

you seanie-max are a disgrace to the community i described above.

You know, there are lots of highly intelligent folks in PARF.

Even Raw' knows his place over there :D

I saw that, Cavy.

Sad but true for most of us.... myself included. You begin to become callous to the overwhelming violence which results in a nightly loss of life..... law and order becomes a buzz word with no one willing to unite and face the comprehensive realities required for real change.


Max.... this statement is lost on me. Please explain.....

The guy killed in Denver was a white nationalist who was about to throw down with a black man. A reporter was recording it and “the Patriot” got pissed and charged the camera, demanding he turn it off. The reporter’s “bodyguard” stepped between them. The Patriot hit him, and stepped back and pepper sprayed him. The bodyguard shot him dead where he stood. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. And the bodyguard is probably gonna do 25 years for murder on it. He got runner up.

I read a report that the body guard was not licensed to carry a gun. According to the article Denver has required classes and licenses for armed uniform guards and even stricter classes and license for armed plain close guards.
That guy has neither license. He's EFFED!

That’s true. It’s a mess. It’s why I put bogyguard in quotes. The security company subcontracted to someone who hired this guy with no license. None of that would matter if it was a clean kill because we have a make my day law. But the law doesn’t not see pepper spray as lethal force, so the bodyguard had no right to shoot.

There is a second gun that was found on scene but for now the police aren’t saying who it belonged to. Probably the dead man, but if it was holstered, he wasn’t threatening lethal force.

The lesson?
