SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine -- Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has lept on a Harley Davidson and roared into an international biker convention in southern Ukraine.

Around 5,000 bikers from Europe and beyond gathered in Sevastopol for the annual festival Saturday on Ukraine's Crimea peninsula.

When you have something of originality and intelligence to add to a thread, please do so. When you don’t, don’t. And please stopping spamming us on FR. We’re not all idiots.

This statement shows just how dumb you are. The background info and/or reminders I'm providing on Russia and KGB Putin ("spam") is vital for folks to know. Since even FoxNews rarely reports on their activities, a LOT of people, even here, have a totally misguided view. Some, like kronos77 and others, actually are quite fond of the SOB (Putin). In short, what this site needs is MORE info like I'm providing, not less! And the last thing it needs is phonies like you making excuses for the evilness that is still Russia!

Was going to post something similar, but you said it much more tactfully than I could. FRegards!

Tell me, what have you been doing in terms of helping educate those here who don't know much about Russia's ongoing efforts to undermine us? Or do you only have nice things to say about them as well?

I’m glad the criticism of your posting methods has bothered you. As the poster I complemented said, it’s not the material, it’s the manner in which it’s posted. People stop reading.

If you think you’re on this board to educate people about the evils of Russia, post your own threads instead of junking up any thread that pops up when you do a search for ‘Putin’ or ‘Russia’. The posts to this thread go on for 6 posts before you spam the next 6 posts with your stuff. Most of the posts afterwards are criticisms of you or your responses to others’ criticism.

It’s the method, not the message. When you start a new thread and if you come up with a ping list for your threads, put me on it. Until then, please reexamine your posting practices.

you are blinded by your baseless hate for everything russian.

Who the hell said I hated everything Russian? I love Anna Kournikova. What I hate is puff pieces like this which glorify that evil POS KGB Putin and the new Russian totalitarian dictatorship. In fact, the only thing I hate more are the low life scum phonies who defend it.

So what was it you have being doing to help educate poorly informed people on the threats from Russia? I must have missed it.

Clearly my original assessment of you (a none-too-bright obsessive with too much time on his hands) was spot-on.

You’re only embarrassing yourself now, with every new post you make here. What people are objecting to is your methods, not your opinions. But that’s clearly too much, mentally, for you to grasp.

Your only reaction to ‘we understand what you’re trying to say, ETL, and many of us may agree, but please stop spamming us with exactly the same post, every single day’ is to throw insults at people. The same post, again and again and again, is not ‘more info’, it’s ‘repeated info’, in which people lose interest because of the amount of times they’re forced to plow through it. You aren’t educating anyone: you’re just bugging them: there is a difference.

With that, I’ll rest my case and leave you to continue throwing public tantrums here if you feel you must. But do you honestly think this kind of behavior furthers your argument in some way? Do you truly not see that you’re achieving exactly the opposite effect of what you claim you’re seeking to do?

Go screw yourself. You're the idiot if you think even 10% of this site understands what's going on with Russia. Then again, I see you as a Putin ass kisser/apologist. You probably don't want folks to know what the Russians have been up to. You'd rather try to trash me instead helping inform them. I saw your response on that other puff piece thread on KGB Putin. You were all excited about him riding some motorcycle. You probably have posters of him up on your bedroom wall. Friggin creep.

I just realized this is the thread about KGB Putin on the motorcycle. I thought it was the other where you were trying to block anything bad being said about him. You clearly have no problems with anyone gushing over him. That doesn’t bother you in the least. It’s only the negative comments that trouble you so much.

lol - you’re doing a perfectly good job of trashing yourself. I don’t think you need much help from the rest of us :)

What “rest of us”? Most here I’m sure appreciate the info I’ve put together and shared. It’s obvious phonies like you that cover for Putin that people here should want to see trashed. That is, anyone with an IQ beyond that of a golf ball.

What kind of theme would you recommend?

I have no problem with ETL’s sober contributions.

You really don’t handle constructive criticism very well, do you?

The amusing part of it is that somewhere in the little world in your head, you do actually believe that you’re ‘informing’ people. Read back through this thread again when you’re sober. How much of it is ‘informative’ to anyone? 45 of the 50 posts are taken up with your spam, other posters asking you to stop hijacking every thread with it, and you posting childish insults back at them.

Immensely informative to all.

In fact, I can honestly say that I would never have understood Russia at all (despite all the years I spent living and working there) had I not read and taken part in this thread. You have truly opened my eyes with your pertinent and sanguine information.

The info is not meant for arrogant blowhards like you who apparently aren't bothered in the least by anything KGB Putin and the Russian government has done. It's meant for those who haven't heard these things before, and/or those who have frequent memory lapses. You, on the other hand, are a different story. I personally doubt you are capable of expressing a single criticism of his regime. All you ever do is bitch about my postings. You clearly are trying to protect your boy Putin's rep. Why? Are you and he friends?

Thanks, Gene. There are several KGB Putin butt kissers on FR. Meanwhile, other trolls get booted off in a heartbeat. I don’t get it.

Immensely informative to all.

All you're doing is revealing, more and more, what a Putin butt kisser you are. Dissing such info as the Russians, ChiComs and Chavez calling for a "new international order", as if it's something most are aware of. Or Russia's promise to rebuild Cuba's military and perhaps set up bases there. Or his 2000 agreement with North Korea. I doubt more than a handful heard these things prior. But then, you don't want folks to know what the KGB Putin gov't is up to. You'd rather drool over him on a motorcycle with his shirt off.

I do see now, at least, that attempting to have any kind of rational or intelligent exchange of opinions with you is pointless. You simply lack the mental capacity to understand what’s being said to you. This knowledge will save me the effort of trying to help you in the future.

It’s sad: but you’re living proof, I guess, that the intellectually under-endowed of this world are not solely confined to the realms of DU and Daily Kos. You might find your overall approach goes down better on either of those sites, by the way. Just friendly advice.

Failure to Warn Claim Survives- But Why?

Sometimes, manufacturers have to wonder, what good does a warning do if the courts won’t require people to read and heed the warning given?

Harley Davidson is an iconic American product manufacturer. In 1903, William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson made available to the public the first production Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. The bike was built to be a racer, with a 3-1/8 inch bore and 3-1/2 inch stroke. The factory in which they worked was a 10 x 15-foot wooden shed with the words “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” crudely scrawled on the door.

William and Arthur would likely be scratching their heads over a recent ruling denying the company’s summary judgment motion on a failure-to-warn claim in a suit filed after a motorcycle crash. Steven Morris v. Harley-Davidson Motor Co., et al., No. 3:09-cv-74 (M.D. Ga.).

Plaintiff alleged that the rear tire of his motorcycle failed, resulting in a crash that killed plaintiff’s wife and left plaintiff seriously injured. Plaintiff contended that the defendants (including the tire company) failed to provide an adequate warning regarding the dangers of overloading the motorcycle. With a full tank of gas weighing 31 pounds, the plaintiff’s Ultra Classic’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) allowed for an additional 420 pounds of weight capacity for the rider, any passenger, cargo, and accessories. Plaintiff, who weighed 250 pounds, was with his wife, who weighed 204 pounds, riding as a rear passenger. Plaintiff was also pulling a trailer.......
