Seriously. [emoji849]

My mother was the same, she was still at war with them and the Japanese until the day she died.

 

My emotions are raw after reading about the camps. I'm sure i'll be over it soon.

 

It's definitely a tough pill to swallow. It's amazing to think how it really wasn't that long ago that all of that occurred.

 

Well, that's a little different. That shit was personal to her.

 

Anyone else struck by the irony of being lectured on worldliness by a guy who has never seen a loaf of unsliced bread?

 

One word...Velveeta

 

My FIL is Jewish and old enough to had family that was lost to the camps. He has never talked much about it, but will not buy German made products and didn't buy Japanese (knowingly) until the very late 1990s. For him it was very personal.

 

Funny thing is, my Dad who actually saw action close up (my mother did as well being on an anti-aircraft gun crew) and saw the camps didn't really hold any grudges once it was all over.

 

Ahhhhh,if it wasnt for the Germans and Japanese actions during WWII,we wouldnt be blessed with the beautiful motorcycles 99% of us race on...........trickle down effect.........jus' sayin'

 

Perhaps there is a difference between those that observed and those that were involved.

 

You should listen to this guy;
Sounds to me like you need to stay off the damn internet. You can't take something you hear/read from one source or about one town and apply it to an entire country. There are good and bad places everywhere.

Imagine if foreigners read certain headlines from any given day from Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, LA, etc and then used your reasoning and applied it to the entire country.

Things are pretty damn nice where I live.

 

my girl's parents have a house there. they're all worried that israel is about to pop off soon though, said there's been a ramp up in the urgency and rhetoric lately. i wanna go visit with her, and her parents are there right now. would suck if we literally can't go next year or two years from now due to some retarded conflict (AGAIN). they all need to just chill the fuck out and stop inventing new perceived slights on all fronts, cause the climate/environment looks awesome there (actually it reminds me of socal) and i wanna go ride mountain bikes and eat kabobs something fierce. my girl had to bribe her way out thru Syria and Jordan when she was there in 06'. send broome though... armed F16s flying over your neighborhood to blow up the bridge down the hill a mile is no biggie... need to stay off the internet.

 

Wait, wut? Broome works for <deleted to protect the OCD dope>???? How the eff is that possible??? Their logo looks all out of balance. I get that it's technically symmetrical... but it just don't look right. That shit must drive him crazy!

 

Not sure if I would wander around east of Beirut. That's where the newly minted radicals catch the bus for Raqqa. Probably all sorts of interesting stuff going on in that area. haha

 

I had a neighbor in Colorado that had a tattoo on his arm & drove a BMW 5series in the Summer & a Subaru Outback in the Winter.

I asked him about it once: "It's over." is all he would ever say about that time.

 

Move to Thailand. There is a great racing scene there and the country has a lot to offer an expat for a comfortable and "cheap" life.

The US tax scheme though on worldwide income cannot really be avoided. If you do try to avoid it and get caught you'll wish you hadn't.

Come there in November with my group...we're riding around Northern Thailand and I could also take you to other place to show you some tracks and introduce you to the local racing scene

 

Unfortunately you can't escape American taxes in Andorra without utilizing some grey areas and even then, you'd have to be working for yourself, not for a multinational company

 

I have an idea: Why have damn income that you have to try to outsmart the US government to avoid double taxation? I'm serious.... if you're planning on living someplace cheap, like Thailand, get used to the fact that you can live like a king on $2,000 a month for the rest of your life. Reduce your income and your stress. Taxes are basically nothing on $24K a year, correct? If you must continue working and making a bunch of money, look into tax shelters like owning/running a legit company on the side. Or, just suck it up and give the govt their 50%.

 

I don't think Broome is talking about quitting his job and moving...his job allows him to live wherever he wants.
