Can we start the "Are So!" "Are Not!" "Are So!" now? I hate this trash but I'm going to throw in because this person bothers me... I am reminded of a conversation I had with a person who I respected a great deal. He made a blanket racial slur in my presence. I attempted to politely inform him that just because in his perspective it might be so, it was not necessarily so in the real world. He repeated himself. I lost respect for him. This was shortly after I left the Marines. I worked for a time with an African American (unsure of the PC term now, please don't start) Gunnery Sergeant who I can honestly say I would follow into combat without a question. Period. Now to say that all people of some race or profession can be grouped into one tight little bundle and judged is not only ridiculous but genuinely dangerous. We'll see how this bonehead feels when the time comes for this police officer to save HIS hide in something important. Perhaps some speeding cager will take his leg off... Hmmmmm, wish someone had caught that guy and slowed him down. Who? Oh yeah, the cops! Get real. Small minds = small views. My opinion and I will proudly defend it off line. That's all I'll say here.

It's very interesting how you injected race into this and the fact that you happen to be from one of, if not the most, racist States in the country; South Carolina. Did you guys get rid of that offensive and hate filled flag flying high a mighty from your Capitol yet? I know South Carolina very well Jim. Don't talk to me about race or racism because most people in South Carolina are just coming to terms with it now in the year 2000. Up here in Philly we've gotten past that a long long time ago. It's nice though that you are reafirming your intolerance to racism. Good for you. We just elected our second Africa American Mayor. Any big cities in South Carolina have an African American who holds high office? Some people in South Caroline bother me Jim. -Brian Shepard A13 -----Original Message----- From: Jim Jackson To: DSN_klr650@egroups.com Sent: 8/30/00 3:48 PM Subject: RE: [DSN_klr650] Crap - got ticketed (NKLR) Can we start the "Are So!"

Brian, That has to be one of the most singularly ignorant comments I've seen on this list. How can you bracket an entire state as being ANY one thing? You seem to be proving yourself a real asshole who, like many folks from the Northeast, want to label anyone from the South or anyone from west of the Mississippi River as rednecks and lesser citizens than yourself. Anyway, I thought you "unsubbed for good". Good riddance!! AMF!! (And that does not stand for American Machine Works.) Please go away. Jim

I totally agree! Insinuating that an entire state full of people are similar in any way is just plain ignorant. Of course I have always felt that anyone that lives east of I-5 was a needledick and a pinhead but that's something altogether different! I don't have a problem with cops, cops don't have a problem with me. There was a time in the sixties when I hated all manifestations of authority but after I put the bong down long enough to realize I wasn't the center of the universe afterall I became truly enlightened as to the ways of the world. I have lots of friends who work in all forms of law enforcement as well as the military, from motorcycle cops to Navy Seals and Recon Rangers. I know the the local FBI chief, the local DEA chief, all the local sherrifs, CHP, and police officers as well as most of the Commanding officers of the local bases. I know hundreds of fighter and helicopter pilots, the head of the U.S. Coast Guards Drug Interdiction Unit was in my shop last week. No I don't hang out at Winchell's or the Police station, I fix their cars. They are all real standup people who have chosen to spend their time and energy preventing chaos and anarchy. I thank God we have those people and that they persevere in spite of the tiny self centered morons they have to deal with on a day to day basis. Brian whoever he was crossed the line and got caught, tuff shit, stand up and take it like a man and stop sniveling. I whined at a cop once who was giving me a ticket, he said "So what...you got caught....how many times did you break the law and get away with it." Brian I hope you drag that trailer park attitude into the court room with you so the judge can shove it up your ass. What a moron. Morgan

i thought we weren't stereotyping...? i'm from the northeast and have nothing against, anyone from anywhere, really. i am particularly fond, in general, of southerners, and those from the west, who are usually alot more relaxed and friendly than folks from around here. _pete -----Original Message----- From: Mark Wilson To: DSN_klr650@egroups.com; Jim & Shannon Morehead Sent: 8/31/00 3:47 AM Subject: Re: [DSN_klr650] Crap - got ticketed (NKLR) Thank You Jim!

Brian, There was a time in my younger days where I would have invited you over for a lesson in humility. These days I say a little prayer that you learn your lesson(s) and that no one, including you, gets hurt in the process. I'm very proud to live here in South Carolina although that is not where I'm from. I'm sure Philly is nice and diverse and you are obviously showing how open-minded every one there is. I'm glad to have known enough people from PA to know for sure you are in the minority. You seem like a person looking for a fight. Please look elsewhere. I'm on the KLR list because I enjoy my bike and I learned almost immediately that there were a good number of people subscribing who have my interests, values and an intellectual level I can respect. You are not one of those people. Have a good life. Jim Jackson II
