If you have evidence of it then show it.

You admitted that you ordered parts and had them sent to a US address. Then you picked them up and brought them back to Canada. You cheated on your taxes.

The Queen Mum is spinning in her grave knowing there are tax cheats like you.

I have as much "evidence" of your fondness for little boys as you have of me cheating on my taxes. Show me yours and I'll show you mine. Sounds alarmingly like your conversation with your little friends!

A confession is evidence. You already admitted to what you did, tax cheat.

It is kind of troubling that your mind immediately goes to such heinous acts to fabricate an accusation.

Nice try. Swing and a miss.
The fallacy of your post is that most combat veterans have the ability to think logically, instead of merely acting upon their emotions.
Most libs would seem to lack that ability which, again, goes back to the heart of the problem. It's all about the emotion. There is no logic. It's how Democrats have been getting elected for decades.

In a thread where outrageous international shipping charges were being discussed, my "confession" was stating that I was able to avoid being gouged by RockAuto at the time by having ordered items sent to a friend's US address just across the border. Only a complete moron would somehow equate that with being a "tax cheat". (I might add that shortly after that thread appeared, RockAuto got their act together and now have among the fairest international shipping fees on the 'net.)

It is "kind of troubling" that in a section of the forum where open discussion about politicians we like or don't like is welcome, that you feel the need to break forum rules to "fabricate an accusation" against a fellow forum member of an illegal activity. How do you like it when it's done in return? Not so nice, eh?

You're absolutely right. We should get back to the release of the Epstein files. How long can Trump continue trying to deflect the public's attention?!!

If I were you, I'd be more concerned with little Donny's numbers. More and more conservatives are coming to the realization that Trump's an unmitigated disaster.

That right there is called justifying the act. It is also an admission of guilt.

You would be terrible at trying to hide your crimes in an interrogation room.

What, you think I then digitally transport myself (like in Star Trek) from my friend's location in the US to my front room in Canada? I suspect you've never crossed an international border. Perhaps you should speak that of which you know. That should keep you quiet for awhile. lol

I thought the goal was to have more green than red.

You know, being helpful to newbies and reasonable in conversation about other topics.

To be fair... the Trump administration has been trying to release everything... but Democrat-appointed judges keep blocking the release of this information. I'm not sure that's apparent to everyone here... but they keep running into judicial roadblocks. They've released a lot of information already, and are trying to get through more information.

There is already a "black book" which has already been released: https://epsteinsblackbook.com/

They've also released all the flight logs, and other things.


People keep referring to a "list" ... and I'm not sure that he necessarily has a list of who had sex with who at what time... I don't know why anyone would have such a thing. For the record, there seems to be SIGNIFICANTLY more Democrats in his black book than there are Republicans... I mean, significantly more. I think the Democrat voters are falling into this idea that this is a conspiracy. I think there's more that can come out, and I do think there's more to be released, but I'm not sure it's exactly what everyone thinks it is.

I have a Rolodex (yes, I'm old). If I was convicted of Felony Racketeering and Transportation of Narcotics... does that mean that everyone in my Rolodex and in my phone's Contact List is part of it?

There's this perception that there's a list of who banged who, and there's thousands of people on it... quite literally every billionaire in the country. I don't think any such list exists. I do believe Epstein was murdered in his cell, and I also think those who stand to be harmed by this are doing everything in their power to block the release of this information. I'm just not sure what the angle is here with the Democrats being so insistent here...


For those who might be confused (you never know), the DOJ is under the Executive Branch, but the judges are under the Judicial Branch... that's why they can't just release everything, because the courts are blocking it.

You are the only one making up that absurd scenario. Feel free to pick it to pieces. You are only arguing with yourself.

At what cost? Appeasing majority rule in a small sub-section of an automotive forum?

However, even by your standards, I've still accomplished what you believe is "the goal".

Your responses are very frequently helpful.
But I'm sure the newbs really find it off-putting to see that "use the search" admonishment. Especially if they are unfamiliar with forums. (Everyone does Farcebook these days, so that's entirely possible.) I know that I wince when I see it. Not that it matters, apparently.

When I suggest to "use the search", not only have I often also given other pertinent advice, but I've also included a hyperlink to the Search function with the fields filled in and the results already presented. Sometimes as in the example below, I've done both.

I don't know what you hope to accomplish by attempting to diminish the assistance I offer in the tech sections of PFF. I'm sorry, but it seems rather petty.

Sometimes all that's required is unscrewing the IAC and using a Q-tip to clean the area where the tip of the IAC does its thing. Use the Search function to find multiple writeups on doing this.

ONE example. I've seen lots of others that were much more condescending.

If I have the time, I usually try to bang out a response. IF I know the answer. Kind of what I perceive a forum to be about. If I don't know - or don't have the time - I don't bother.
Remember... Most of the newb questions are from... wait for it... NEWBS.

But hey... you do you.

Nice deflection.
I couldn't really care less about what you have to say about Trump. Your opinion matters not one iota, in the grand scheme of things. Especially from a Canadian.
But when you act like a posterior orifice to people who disagree with you - and especially to newb posters who ask for help - it kind of gets next to me.
But I don't hold any illusions that you're ever going to, you know, actually act like a decent human being.
Like I said... you do you.

Please. Carry on.

It's a shame that the images are missing (they're among the 100,000 missing PFF images ), but my descriptions of the images I had posted should suffice.

You guys should see what goes on, on the Corvette forums. Man, I've never seen such a group of man-babies.

The majority of the people on there ask questions but have no intention of working on their own car. It's almost always people asking where there's a good "Corvette mechanic."

There are like 2 or 3 people there that think they know a lot... but spend half the time talking about how much knowledge they have. Like there's one guy who does A/C... has maybe half the knowledge that RWDPLZ has, and this guy pretty much acts like MVAC work is right up there with jet propulsion and astrophysics. There's another guy who, when you ask him what some good upgrades are, he starts talking about the thermal-dynamics of brake dust, but never actually answers the other person's question. When anyone provides some input on what works for them, they swear up and down the stock brakes were crafted by Jesus Christ himself and cannot be improved.

There's a couple of normal people... but most of them are people who have never worked on their cars before and are just looking for where to go and how much it's going to cost. All the threads are like...

"I hear a noise" or... "Something's happening when I do X"


Ugh...

I remember that thread/poster now. Lots of water over the dam.

(I hadn't had my "customer service issue" with Rockauto, that far back. Otherwise I'd have shared it in that thread.
I still occasionally buy from them, but I'm lots more judicious. They are still a good source for part numbers, if you crosscheck.)

With that said, I see that some things never change.

Not the first time I've heard that comment - or similar.
I think that most(?) Corvette owners are cut from different cloth than Fiero owners. Their solution to most problems seems to be "throw money at it", as opposed to actually learning, and doing.
Obviously, I'm painting with a very broad brush, which is not my intention. This is NOT to take away from most (but not all) of the "dual" Fiero / Corvette owners out there. Fiero owners have had to learn, out of necessity. That knowledge usually transfers over to Corvettes, too.

Amazing, isn't it. Over a dozen years ago, E.Furgal (despised by almost everyone here, and now deservedly banned) made groundless accusations regarding me being a "tax cheat"... and then all these years later, the same bogus claim gets floated. Kind of bizarre.

Patrick you have your antifa boys pick up car parts for you when they go to a protest in the us. When some one points it out you cry like a baby. Epic
