Seems to me your the one who started playing the "Dick wagging games" not me!!
Ok Elvis I see your game , come play means try the bigger population centers around cities where the real players live not out in the cow paddocks . Go ahead and play your game with a pack ride from the Oakland , San Jose or Frisco clubhouse or the East Bay Dragons for that matter and see how it works for you . Got your real man swinging .

I said " they will run down ******** " , didn't mention you . Got a complex or something working there ? Your not gonna last long around here at this rate buddy .

Not sure what direction this thread went, but out of common courtesy I wouldnt jump into someones group, no matte how long it was. I would try to find a safe way around it or just stay back. If you were running 80mph like you said then I wouldnt be near you in the first place because I dont speed that often. So we wouldnt have that problem. Some people are jerks and dont have any respect for anyone. Think about it though what law anywhere says they cant break your formation? It might not be right to think they cant but seriously what can you do about it? Nothing.

[quote=SportsterBob;9778047]I dunno...Guess I grew up in a different world. How many have tried to cut into a Funeral Procession? In my day you pulled over in the opposing lane to let the Procession pass. It's about respect..

But that is where the problem is...There is no respect for others in our society today.[/quote]

When they took God (yes I went there lol) and Civics out of School, those who had dumbazz parents, had no "learnin" on how to be polite.

Last night a good Friend stopped over and told me the School System where he lives, is now removing Driver's Ed, Shop and Home Ec. I asked what they were replacing them with, he said nothing. I was left dumb founded.
