  1. Here's just a short list of the lesser known low-points of american foreign-policy (including the good old days when the CIA just assasinated any foreign leader they wanted do):

    here's another link from that site to an article with references to declassified documents, about how the US govt knew that the bombing in iraq + embargos/sanctions would cause the deaths of thousands of civilians:

  2. it's not really fair to say all americans. There are alot that scare me too, and it's their responsibility for being ignorant enough to elect the people they do.

     

    mikazooki - you're right... I could probably say that every american I've met living here have been free thinkers. I think the mindset like: "america is the center of the world, everyone wants to be like us, and anyone who hates us is just jealous" is way too common among people who don't spend some solid time outside the states.

  3. It's really a bad time to be an american. When people ask me where i'm from, I always say new york....

     

    bottom line is.... Bush, Cheney and their buddies want oil + geopolitical power. The masses of sheep in america have their minds numbed by watching CNN, and are scared into supporting war with bogus scare tactics like the "terror alert system", and public notices telling people to duct tape their houses shut. After all... the people who run the news networks are the same people padding the bank accounts of the morons we have in office now.

     

    but... not all americans are oil-thirsty, gun toting, SUV driving idiots. There are lots and lots of smart, compassionate people, but unfortunately, those people are not heard enough.

  4. enderz - I still have perma-grin from the stashes at cortina... and I cant get that jump at 47 (or was it Gouryu?) out of my head... i gotta come back up there soon and do a whole day of park ridin wih you guys.

     

    db - If you had stuck around longer at the "hoedown", you woulda been there for the greased pig wrestling, and the part where everyone shot their guns in the air.... yeeeeeHAW!! Wish I coulda spent the rest of sunday with you guys giggling like schoolgirls ridin that pow at cortina!

  5. Mostly a forum lurker here, but it was great riding with danz, barok, enderzero, db and everyone this weekend. I've met kuma in the past, and a few others who's sj names I don't know.... All very cool people.

     

    I was talking about this with enderzero and danz this weekend, but I don't think I've ever come across a web forum where so many of the members have met eachother in person. Props to sj.com and members for puttin together a cool little community.

  6. Sup y'all....

     

    I finally decided to get on this board after months of hearing danz raving about it.

     

    Last weekend was a blast. Thanks Nat, for putting together a great trip. It was cool meeting everyone, and although I don't remember much of the party on saturday night, it was the shiznit.

     

    much thanks to barok for showing us all the secret stashes around goryu and 47.

     

    Hopefully I'll be back up there around the 1st or 2nd weekend of Jan.
