Well, it never really stopped, it just had a few small problems, like being harder to start, and sometimes the throttle would just lock full open until I stopped, got underneath and manually re-set it. Let's face it, it's not like it regularly did that causing a completely unintentional drift halfway around a roundabout. That only happened once.
Second on the wrong thread, but to Jack's defense, most people I know don't know anything about the Menendez scancal and I'm FROM NJ. Really not a focus of the news. There was actually a segment on NPR last night about how it's been kept off the front pages.
I dunno why it's front page news, but I will say it was kinda funny. He kept staring at the camera the whole time, like he desperately didn't want people to notice him drinking it.
One guy is a dickbag in his personal life (and probably deserves to go to jail), but isn't actively working to make the world worse with his political power.

While I get where you're coming from, I'm not sure it's the strongest argument, considering I'm from another country, and I heard about it.
Oh get off it, pardon the hyperbole. It's not literal front page news, it just clogged up my social media feeds (and I saw a few news posts about it). You know my point is that (anecdotal to me) more people have the impression that some guy Rubio did something dumb than they know some guy named Menendez even exists.
Edit: This could completely bring up the discussion that I know a LOT of dumb people.
Okay yes I've heard of Daily Caller, but not any of those others. So yes, I'm dead serious.
So, basically, the reason you didn't hear about it is because you follow the news so little that you are completely unaware of some of the most famous news outlets in the world, and some of the biggest outlets of US political news?
Dude I'm just baffled you've never even heard of the Associated Press or the Guardian, just for two. I mean, sure, PolicyMic I can understand, but fuck's sake, the AP? I have no response to that. It's like trying to talk about cars, but you've never heard of an engine, or wheels.

I'd cut him some slack on the Guardian as it is a British paper. I for one never heard of it myself until I got internet access and eventually found links to it on various news sites. Still, there is no excuse for not recognizing the AP.
Again, I think Prostitution should be legalized and Unionized, and as long as they are not a family value's type I don't care who they have consensual sex with.
Though obviously if they were underage I have a problem. Also, this smells of someone making shit up. So probably doesn't deserve to be front page news until they have more reliable sources.

Well, what about overseas underaged prostitutes? We have pretty clear laws on "sexual tourism."
Probably just because in Oral Communication they weren't allowed as a news source for our weekly presentations of current events.
That doesn't make much sense, given how the AP is one of the most respected news sources in the world. Also, many newspapers just get a large chunk of their news from AP feeds instead of actually hiring their own reporters to cover the same news. What were some of the allowed news sources for this class, out of curiosity?
"CREW said it investigated the allegations, but was unable to prove or disprove them and sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice asking for an investigation. A conservative website, The Daily Caller, then published the allegations, which drew more attention after Melgen's offices in South Florida were recently raided by U.S. federal agents. The FBI has declined to say why it searched Melgen's office or whether he is under investigation.
In a series of emails sent to CREW, the person identified as Williams provided names, numbers and an address for some of the alleged prostitutes. The phone numbers are not in service except in one case in which the woman who has the number says she has no connection to any of the parties involved in the allegations and is not a prostitute. The names of the alleged prostitutes in the emails are either nicknames or common and The Associated Press has been unable to locate any of them." Sounds legit.....
The reason I am harping on this, is the difference between the stories, in the cases of other affairs or prostitution cases, the people were caught red handed or someone came forward personally and informed. This stuff smacks of "John McCain's adopted black child is actually from a mistress of his" type stuff.

Care to try again? Also, I think this might be the wrong thread.

Are you actually serious? While I get where you're coming from, I'm not sure it's the strongest argument, considering I'm from another country, and I heard about it.

Which is true.
Dude I'm just baffled you've never even heard of the Associated Press or the Guardian, just for two. I mean, sure, PolicyMic I can understand, but fuck's sake, the AP? I have no response to that. It's like trying to talk about cars, but you've never heard of an engine, or wheels. Pardoned, it's a fair point.

Boo-yah: A solid hour on the bike proved that I can still pull some of my old moves.
Fail/Boo-yah: My abbs are like rocks right now.
