Float like a butterfly, dodge the draft like me......

So the parks will be full of Pakis (I mean, new Canadians) for the next two years....... great. Gonna write my Libtard MP about this discriminatory practice...... They're basically saying, no free admission for white people in 2018.

Fibreglass LoRider Tonneau cover (no hardware) for free. PM me if interested. http://www.raidercaps.com/lorider The dimensions are about 60" wide x 81" long. (6.5 shortbox maybe?) No idea what truck(s) it fits. First numbers on the serial tag are 108803. I got it on a PWC trailer (the previous owner bolted this to the top to make a platform, so there are some holes that would have to be glassed prior to paint.) Anyway, the price is right. And, you get to meet the Puzzler.

In any case, Ali was certainly one of a kind. Still sad to see him gone. Quite the showman. I saw George Chuvalo in a bar not too long ago..... he still looks ok considering......

Couple pics, and a snippet from Wiki describing the chaos on the ships: During the course of the operation an unknown number of VNAF helicopters flew out of what remained of South Vietnam to the fleet. Around 12:00 five or six VNAF UH-1Hs and one of the stolen ICCS UH-1Hs, were circling around the USS Blue Ridge. The VNAF pilots had been instructed after dropping off their passengers to ditch their helicopters and they would then be picked up by one of the ship's tenders. The pilot of the stolen ICCS Huey had been told to ditch off the port quarter of the ship, but seemed reluctant to do so, flying around the ship to the starboard bow he jumped from his helicopter at a height of 40 feet (12 m). His helicopter turned and hit the side of the USS Blue Ridge before hitting the sea. The tail rotor sheared off and embedded itself in the engine of an Air America Bell 205 that was doing a hot refueling on the helipad at the rear of the ship. The Air America pilot shut down his helicopter and left it and moments later a VNAF UH-1H attempted to land on the helipad, locked rotors with the Air America Bell, almost pushing it overboard.[18]:24–25 The stolen Air America Bell 204, landed on the USS Kirk, from where US Navy pilots flew it to the USS Okinawa.[18]:20 So many South Vietnamese helicopters landed on the TF76 ships that some 45 UH-1 Hueys and at least one CH-47 Chinook were pushed overboard to make room for more helicopters to land.[5]:118 Other helicopters dropped off their passengers and were then ditched into the sea by their pilots, close to the ships, their pilots bailing out at the last moment to be picked up by rescue boats.[20]

Yeah, I'm not sure what I think of that war. Heavy, brutal losses, and was ultimately a failure for the SVA and the U.S. Although I can certainly appreciate that halting the spread of communism was of paramount importance at that time. Today, we take it for granted, as all modern communist regimes have fallen..... and it's sad to think that that might have happened in Vietnam eventually also (very likely would have). 60,000 dead and 300,000 wounded U.S. soldiers is quite the toll. Watched an interesting documentary the other night about the airlift from the Embassy (Operation Frequent Wind - just ahead of the imminent fall of Saigon). The nearest runways were all destroyed, so it necessitated the largest chopper evac in history. They were literally pushing choppers off the deck of U.S. ships to make room for incoming choppers. Unbelievable footage. Worth watching.

Not at all, why? I may not have agreed with that war at the time, but stopping the flow of communism to a democratic half of the country was a worthy goal. Communism has failed in every modern country in the world, and at the time, was considered a grave threat. And worth fighting. And while the citizenry of a democracy might disagree with engaging in a particular war effort, it is not for them to decide. It's not for an individual soldier or military either. It is for their democratically elected leaders and government to decide. Vietnam sucked, and the U.S. lost a lot of good people. You may disagree with Vietnam, but praising a man for dodging the draft when there was conscription is fundamentally wrong. Where would the military (or the country be) be if all eligible young men dodged the draft, or all enlisted soldiers refused to fight in a particular battle? War is god-awful, but sometimes you have to go. Vietnam might have been the biggest mistake ever, in hindsight, but the choice to go cannot be made by peaceniks and cowards.

What would a Blacklight indicate in the rear seating area??

Good for him.... how so? He should have been an example to other young Americans. And perhaps some Canadians thought that stopping the flow of Communism was a good thing.

How old is the boat? Check timing as Merc said...... plugs and wires might be wise also.

That draft dodging muslim has died.....

Draft dodging Muslim wannabee......

You'll shoot your eye out!

Cabela's has 15% off all used firearms and Beretta shotguns (in store) this weekend.

Stoney, if you assembled a swing set and had leftover structural pieces...... might want to recheck your work before the kids use it.

Here we go again..... http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/texas-police-hunt-for-teacher-allegedly-impregnated-by-student-she-had-sex-with-almost-on-a-daily-basis Texas teacher was allegedly impregnated by 13-year-old during parent-approved relationship Republish Online Republish Offline Reprint Victor Ferreira | June 1, 2016 4:38 PM ET Facebook / HandoutAlexandria Vera turned herself in to police. She allegedly had a sexual relationship with a student. A Texas middle school teacher turned herself in to police after allegedly being impregnated by a 13-year-old student she had sex with “almost on a daily basis” in a relationship approved by his parents. Alexandria Vera, a 24-year-old English teacher at Stovall Middle School, was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child. The felony charge carries a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison for those found guilty. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Brady Fitzgerald confirmed Vera turned herself in around 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. EST) Wednesday. She was released hours later on a $100,000 bond. “She was booked into the Montgomery County jail and upon her meeting the requisites of the warrant that the judge put up for the bond, she was released from this location,” Fitzgerald told the Post. FacebookAlexandria Vera allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student. Vera allegedly began a sexual relationship with the unidentified student in September 2015 that lasted until at least January 2016, according to court documents filed by the District Attorney’s Office. An Aldine Independent School District peace officer began investigating Vera in April after being tipped off by the school’s principal. During an interview with the officer Vera told him she met the student in a summer class she taught and when the regular school year began again in September, he was placed in her eighth-grade classroom. The student, she told the officer, began to flirt with her. When he began to miss class in September, she sent him a message on Instagram to check in on him. This led to the student asking for her phone number, which she provided, and suggested that the two of them hang out after class, the documents say. Vera told the officer she drove the student home one day from school and they kissed in the car. The next day, she allegedly went to his house when his parents weren’t home and had sex with him. After meeting his parents at a school open house, Vera told the officer, she was invited to their home for dinner and was introduced as the child’s girlfriend. She said the parents accepted their relationship and invited them to family events. The relationship evolved and the boy frequently slept over at Vera’s house, she said. In the morning, she drove him home so he could catch his school bus. “She stated that she and the complainant had sex almost on a daily basis at her home and that they love each other,” the court documents say. In January, the relationship took a turn when Vera allegedly found out she was pregnant with the boy’s baby. She told the police officer that the family was made aware of the pregnancy and that they “were very supportive and excited about the baby.” Vera ended up having an abortion, she told the officer, because Child Protection Services showed up at the school to question her about her relationship with the student. According to her Facebook profile, Vera has a young daughter from another relationship. Vera had been teaching at Stovall Middle School for two years before developing a relationship with her student. She was removed from the school in April, according to a statement from the Aldine Independent School Board. Aldine ISD has been made aware that charges have been filed against a former Stovall Middle School teacher involved in inappropriate behavior with a male student. When the allegation was made in April, the teacher was immediately removed from the school and placed on administrative leave. Aldine ISD Police investigated the incident and turned their findings over to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. The safety and security of Aldine ISD’s students and staff remains a priority of the school district. Vera is currently on administrative leave and the school board will be meeting in June to approve her termination.

No, I didn't say negative to that. Keep in mind, scalping has long been illegal until the Libtards legalized it not long ago. Speculating on houses has never been illegal. My point was that companies are profiteering of Gordie's terminal diagnosis, and fans suffer. Yeah, I know, nobody is forcing them to buy tickets. But I'm sure many feel compelled to attend given his prognosis. Reminds me of that drug company that hiked the price of their meds by 15000 % or whatever. But hey, it's a free market!

Exactly..... the sense of entitlement. And nobody seems to build "starter" homes any more, at least not in the city. My immediate neighbour was a bungalow for many years. New buyer bought it for 600k, tore it down, and now there's a 3600 sq ft house there. Probably spent another 600k building it.

Homes are a little different, and are more like any other traded commodity. If Gord was not terminal, Hip tickets would never be $6000. So what does that mean...... these scalpers are really preying on people's emotions. It's a bit much.

$5999 at StubHub. YGBFKM. It's about the fans, after all. Fuck Ebay/StubHub. Why on earth we legalized scalping with no price ceilings is beyond me. And how does StubHub legally get all the tickets? Despicable in a way. I believe in capitalism and free markets, but something stinks here.

Prices are not out to lunch; they're what the market will bear. And here in the city, we're still cheap compared to say, Vancouver or NYC. It's simple demand, and good for all. I renovated and flipped 2 houses, and am comfortable today. It was a lot of work, and hours. That can still be done, but successive generations have a sense of entitlement, and are getting lazier. So nice, turn-key housing is spendy in the city, and rightly so. I'm more shocked at the prices an hour away.

Yeah, we miss the Libtard rants.....

Why does it need that? It's a free market.....

Is that Tommy's?

Exactly. Anybody with a brain, understands this. Was bizarre, really.
