fast bikes has nothing to do with the collapse of the nation

i’m 54 and folks ran more from the cops for speeding back then than now

today it’s choppers and radios in every car...very difficult

kids just do it for poor judgement or because they can...it doesn’t mean they will be socialists..all my old cafe riding buddies from the 70s and early 80s who often ran too grew into hardcore banglist righties by aged 30 without exception

actually in my day of 55 speed limit it was an act of defiance

and defy I did...proudly

back then if you were clever you could do it....especially in rural areas off interstates

not recommending it

i outran cops in Oxford MS with my girlfriend on the back..in about 10 seconds...parked the bike behind a pals house and we walked to the square

i agree on the tattoo-piercings though...and teen pregnancy...but I’m not sure it’s because they see no future...this has been going on way back thru good and bad economies

the self mutilation is a “self esteem look at me” issue I think..or maybe “cut me..my folks didn’t want me and I feel awkward”...

drug abuse has been here for 45 years..and was pervasive in my Dazed and Confused generation...the use numbers in some ways are actually down and crack has fallen way off

meth is declining slowly but what has jumped is middle aged abuse of pain killers...not question of that...it has supplanted meth in the rural south to some degree

where the youth have truly collapsed...white youth that is...is that they simply cannot digest race in an honest manner...most folks under 45 are completely assimilated by the Sameness Borg

Young men are going to push their machines and themselves and when they didn't have machines, they pushed their horses, and demonstrated bravery in other ways; for centuries.

At sixteen, I could get a 105 out of a '71 Honda 450. I only got caught by the police once. An alert state trooper saw I was going try to out run him, as we passed, he locked his brakes and put his car in a skid. Once he rotated 180, he was burning rubber and after my butt. He was gaining on me and with no side roads available to duck down, on that stretch of road, I knew I was caught. I pulled over and waited for him. He gave me stern lecture and a warning ticket. I was a lot more careful after that... :)

So here we have a 25 yo; 19 yo's in WWII, were piloting heavy bombers over Germany and back to England. But today, slobs who get their "Real Life" from TV, in our failing society call him a POS and want to lock him away for 10 years for something that in our day, may have cost you a $200 dollar fine (admittedly a lot back then) at most.

What's happening to us? I'll tell you, we've become a land of fat, dumbed downed, drugged up(prescription or otherwise) zombies, where "men" are ordered around by their girlfriends and wives like little boys. And if you step out of line in our zero tolerance for anything manly (speeding, guns, knives, speaking our mind, etc) you have your life ruined by a society that has more people in prison than China with a population of two billion.

The cops in this case, I read, backed off. That was the right thing to do. I applaud them. Below is a video of a real POS and who actually got is due I hear, if you can believe it; ten years and he deserves every day of it for his disregard for the life of a fellow human being.

This is what we've turned into:

“i agree on the tattoo-piercings though...and teen pregnancy...but I’m not sure it’s because they see no future...this has been going on way back thru good and bad economies”

The rates were different before; anyone who gets a tattoo on their face/neck has no intention of seriously generating an income (someone will list exceptions to this, but what kind of work can such people do effectively?).

“where the youth have truly collapsed...white youth that is...is that they simply cannot digest race in an honest manner”

I think they are becoming more aware as they age and see themselves shut out from work or school because they are white. In my town the NAACP successfully fought a residency requirement for police officers, while literally next door in Newark NJ they have such a requirement that effectively shuts out our young people from those jobs. Also, they cannot fail to see the hatred blacks have for whites, and react accordingly; the only reason for whites in my town to drive into Newark is to buy drugs or prostitutes. The two towns are separated by a river but worlds apart.

I used to drive anything that anyone would let me drive, and I drove it FAST. I’ve always loved speed.

Just in the last week I’ve learned that, in Portland, forget meth...it’s very easy to get heroin, Portland is second only to Seattle with hipsters, don’t even get me started on piercings, tattoos and occupiers, and Governor Kitzhaber wants to give illegals driver’s licenses.

Re: illegals having driver’s licenses, we’ve been there and done that. There was a time when it was legal for them to have driver’s licenses because *cough* they needed them to get insurance. *cough* Then we were declared a national security risk because illegals from all over the country were coming here to get them. Of course, this was passed in a prior two term administration...Kitzhaber’s. lol

I can’t wait to go home, even if it’s part time..
