George Floyd's Background

Speaking of the media.....how many times do they have to get caught with their hands in the cookie jar before they stop with the lies and propaganda?

The bottom photo is clipped from the movie World War Z........Do not accept ANYTHING from the media at face value.

It was created by some knucklehead on Reddit.

So are you saying you dont believe they ever get caught manipulating the public using false or misleading facts? Perhaps this one is false.....I will take your word for it since you did name a source.....

There have been many cases of pretty much the same thing that have proven to be factual.....for instance images captured at a testing ground in Kentucky being represented as having been attacks in the ME. That by one of the big 3 networks....their response when called on it? Ohh we are sorry LOL

Reminds of that guy who posted the non-lethality of the 30-06 at range factoid he found on the internet - he just believed it because he read it.  Who was that guy?  LOL

Non-lethality of a 30-06? Not sure how "at range" plays into it but I can assure you the 30-06 is a lethal caliber.....and quite possibly the most widely used hunting round on the planet....

My point being lies and bullshit on the news have become so common place I didnt bother to check that one.....I would say it had a 50-50 chance lol

ExploraDome Custom Wheel Ring Conversion for SkyShed Pod

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Nice!!

Unfortunately the available Pod's are too small for my needs, even the Pod Max would be pretty tight.....not to mention out of my league $$ wise. Have to stick with the roll off design.....

Anyone advocating defunding police over this are fringe radicals and not worthy of recognition.....

Possibly something that snuck by us when beta testing the new site software although I would have expected it to come up before now....I know it wasnt something I tried. if Herb is still following this maybe he can get the programmer to check it out.....you might send a note with the details to [email protected] as well just in case.

When did the messaging system change?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

It changed a few months ago when the site software was upgraded.....
