    I laughed out loud when I read your post. How can you be so ignorant as to believe everything you
    read and see on TV? Then you form an idea in your head and protect this idea by obtaining as
    little information as possible on the subject. I don't see where you get off admonishing Larry
    Varney for reading a book. He simply said he was reading a book and had not admitted forming any
    opinions on the matter. Some people (apparently not Ed Dolan) like to make up their own minds
    rather than believe everything they hear and see from others.

    I am always in favor of an open mind on any and all subjects, but liberals have closed minds on all
    subjects. They are ruled by their ideology which tells them what to think about everything under the
    sun. Mr. Varney makes a big issue of being a free thinker never realizing how much his thinking is
    already circumscribed by his ideology. You too I suspect. But for the ultimate moron, the ultimate
    imbecile, the ultimate liberal ideologue, I give you the supreme jackass of all time otherwise known
    as Mr. Sherman. If you think like him, than you are lost and gone forever.

    Quoted message said:

    "There is no free press in the Muslim world that I know of." You could probably fill the Great
    Lakes with what you don't know. You also didn't know that there were Christian Palestinians, who
    by the way, also fight the Israeli occupation. Does that make Christianity a brutal religion? Free
    press exists throughout the world except for places like China, North Korea and, until recently,
    Iraq. Just because something has a different slant than American media does not make it
    propogandous.

    I suspect those few Christian Palestinians had best get on board or they would quickly be done away
    with. To claim that the Arabs have a free press is just too ridiculous for words and marks you for
    the ignoramus that you are. The Arab press is nothing but propaganda. You, sir, are a moron!

    Quoted message said:

    "That is your world, not mine. Maybe you would like to return to it, but we in the West think it
    is all an abomination!" You'd like me to go back to where? Sorry, I was born and raised here in
    America, where I work and vote. This may scare you, but there are millions more just like me! As
    for "we in the West," you're speaking only for yourself. Most Americans and westerners are not as
    simple minded as you and wish to know the entire truth before they condemn something.

    Sometimes the more a person "learns" the stupider they get. That is ever the problem with liberals.
    I think all that learning they engage in must atrophy the judgmental faculties. Simple minds can
    often cut to the quick of something whereas sophisticated minds have been educated stupid. Have I
    ever told you that I would rather be ruled by the first 10 people in the Boston telephone directory
    than I would the first 10 people in the Harvard University faculty directory (or the entire faculty
    for that matter).

    Quoted message said:

    I just read your post again, and I think you must be joking. Nobody would admit to being as simple
    and closed minded as you are. I am done talking to you unless you have some serious questions on
    Islam, or by the stroke of some miracle, you decide you're interested in recumbent bicycles.
    Otherwise, please feel free to continue to spew your ridiculous hatred towards Muslims, just know
    that it has very little effect on anyone. No matter what you say, God is still greater than you or
    any ugly lie you can tell.

    You and I are going to get along great as neither one of us likes to say anything of substance. I
    suggest you stay the hell away from that idiot Mr. Sherman as he will bombard you with useless and
    irrelevant "facts" which will only befuddle you and make you even more stupid than you already are.

    I would further suggest to you that most Americans are not having exactly a love relationship with
    Muslims. On the contrary, the hatred of them is growing by leaps and bounds. I feel like Paul Revere
    sounding the alarm. But sleep on McDuff! You will never know what kills you as you are sound asleep
    and nothing can wake you up.

    Edward Dolan said:


    The most intelligent thing you can do when it comes time to read a book is to choose which book
    to read among the many thousands that are available. Poor Mr. Varney has been taken in by the
    first book about Muslims to fall into his hands. He is even so ignorant that he does not want to
    even read a book review and find out what others who are many times smarter than him think about
    it. That is the ultimate ignorance and the hallmark of an uneducated person.

    ROTFL! Dolan, I never said anything about not wanting to read a book review to see what others
    think about a book - what I've been saying, all along, is that I will not let others do my
    thinking for me - if I have the chance to read the book myself, I will do so, and not let
    someone else determine my opinion for me. There are some things that we either cannot check out
    for ourselves, or are extremely difficult to do. As in, I will have to take the words of others
    as to how it feels to walk on the moon. But I CAN read a book, and I will. Why won't you?

    I am glad that we both finally can agree about something, i.e., that book reviews can be very useful
    in helping us to decide whether we want to read a book or not. The only thing I have against the
    book you are contemplating reading is that bit in the title about America's "false images" of Islam.
    Most Americans know next to nothing about Islam and they don't want to know anything about it,
    except how it may impact their lives via the Muslim terrorist threat consisting of random acts of
    murder and mayhem. Frankly, right at this moment in time I am not anxious to "understand" Islam. The
    important thing is to condemn it for what it is doing to this country and indeed to the whole world.

    We are all waiting for you to read that book and report back to us on any increase of understanding
    about the Muslim religion you may gain from it, and in particular what those "false images" of
    Muslims that we here in America are suppose to have about it.

  3. Question: If a bear craps in the woods and no one is around, does it still stink?

    Answer: Who cares.

    Would you pay $3000 to find out?

    At this point in time "Who Cares"?

    Logic is lost on our dear L.L.L. Rest assured that what any of us write here will probably have
    a very negligible effect on the sales of BiGHA. If it goes down in flames it will not be
    because of the efforts of Mr. Love. If the sales go platinum, I doubt that will be a
    repudiation of his concerns.

    Let him pretend he has convinced us all with his superior logic. That may get him to quit whining.

    Lorenzo - please take your Prozac, come back in a few hours after it's kicked in, then read
    and respond my posts. Obviously whatever content is in these posts goes right over your head
    and you need help.

    Again, I've not defended anything on this thread. Not a bike, nor a person. I've asked you
    many questions and exposed your lies and insanity. When called on it, you've responded only by
    changing the subject.

    I have done nothing but stick to the subject of who would buy a Bigha. Every time you try to
    change it, I have to bring in back. You haven't bought one nor are you going to buy one so just
    what do you have to say on the subject? Nothing except to continue to defend this overpriced
    bike and a person known to be a fraud and identity thief who claimed to have bought one.

    Quoted message said:


    Let me put a question out for you, pure and simple.

    1. Who gives the best and most objective reviews?
    a) People who get the bike for free
    b) People who are full price customers

    Answered several times. In fact it was answered again in the message you just responded to, but
    you edited that part out. Now I wonder way you choose to do that. Another attempt to deceive or
    just part of your selective perception of reality?

    Quoted message said:


    We've caught you coming down on both sides of the issue here. Please note that "whoever agrees
    with LLL on the merits of the product" is NOT an acceptable answer.

    This thing that I asked you is called a question. Questions deserve answers, and most people
    habitually answer questions without having to make serious psychological progress. I placed
    this question quite obviously so you would see it, and hopefully answer it. Such a question
    could be simply answered by pretty much anyone in the world, though I'm sure you'll
    miraculously find a way to avoid it.

    I look forward to your babbling response, though I'd prefer the non-babbling version.

    It doesn't matter how often you attack me for asking a simple question, you still look like a
    delusional fool.

    Is there anyone on this news group, who is not a known liar, who has actually purchased a Bigha
    for the full $3000.00 price?

    OK, you are officially insane. I could not have posed the question any clearer, and you still fail
    to provide an answer. What exactly is your condition called? Are you alergic to answering
    questions? Do you have a phobia of answering questions? What are the side-effects if you actually
    do answer a question?

    Show me one place in this thread where I defend either the bike or another person. I've done
    neither. The only puzzle I try to solve is why you insist on continuing with your Jihad against
    Bigha. You claim people who have not, or will not buy a Bigha have no right to an opinion on the
    bike. You also have not, and will not by the bike, yet it is ok for you to have a very strong
    opinion. Why are you entitled to form an opinion while no one else is? Are you God? Why is it
    anyone who asks Lorenzo the Almighty a question is deemed insane?

    Also, please show me where I've attacked you for asking your "has anyone bought a Bigha" question.
    I believe that to be a fair question. However, you also recommended psychological counseling and
    medication. Using your logic, you must have experience in these areas, otherwise you would not be
    entitled to an opinion on them, much less provide an recommendation.

    Can you please answer my questions in a straight-forward manner? If you actually answer a question
    and do not change the subject, we will all have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

    Just to recap, here are some questions you can answer:

    1) What's the logic behind you Jihad against Bigha?
    2) Why are you entitled to an opinion on Bigha while nobody else is?
    3) Who provides the best reviews: paying customers or non-paying reviewers?
    4) Have you received counseling and have you taken medication for a mental condition?
    5) If no on 4, how do you justify recommending these things without trying them yourself? Doesn't
    this counter your logic on Bigha?
    6) Why do you never ever answer any questions?

    All are easy questions, the rest of the newsgroup will be elated if you manage to answer even one.

    I do not believe the Muslim religion is a religion of peace, but rather it is a religion of
    perpetual war against the "infidel". It has no toleration for other religious beliefs and will
    always persecute those of other religious beliefs if it has the advantage and can do so safely.
    The history of Muslim countries is replete with countless examples. The Muslims currently living
    in the West are being Westernized and so there is no danger of their intolerance ever
    manifesting itself in the West.


    ............

    You've described the Xiita muslims (the minority), not the Sunita muslims (the majority)... Muslim
    religion is a religion of peace. The principle of Jihad, isn't the war against the infidels...
    Jihad is a fight against infidelity. Not all the muslim people are terrorist.

    Before you blow me in bits, I'm not muslim, I'm roman catholic, but I have several muslim
    friends, jew friends and protestant friends. I respect their religions, because I like when they
    respect mine...

    The Holy Mother Church (Mosque) of Islam is Saudi Arabia. That is where Mecca and Medina are located
    and the Saudi version of Islam is the pure distilled essence of the religion. I recognize there are
    many differences among the various sects (branches) of Islam, but what unites them all is much more
    significant than what separates them. Ask your Mulsim friends how they feel about atheists to get a
    better gauge of their tolerance quotient.

    By the way, I find the concept of jihad (holy war) repugnant and that right there is a very big
    element of their intolerance.

    I took a look at the human rights violations documented by Amnesty International and the UN
    concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran. Looking at the record here are my observations in the
    areas of their Compassion, Peace, Inter-Faith, and Women's Rights:

    Compassion - Bloodthirsty is more like it. Political dissenters, criminals,

    Quoted message said:
    Quoted message said:

    death sentences, executions, arrests, and detention according to the U.N. Recently four men were
    stoned to death for unspecified reasons.

    Peace - Kept internally by brutal savage force.

    Interfaith Tolerance - Serious problems here. The UN has recorded egregious violations against
    the Baha'i community of Iran, that country's second largest religious minority. The UN calls it
    "an unabated pattern of persecution". Same goes for Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and most
    especially those who denounce religion or are atheist.

    Women's Rights - Basically non-existent. I think each Islamic man can own up to five of them.
    Stoning is still practiced in cases of adultery. Most recently in Shiraz seven women were given
    50 lashes each for allegedly showing disrespect during the month of Ramadan.

    If there is anything that should be wiped off the face of the earth I would put Islamic
    Republics toward the top of the list. Thankfully the Islamic regime in Afghanistan is back in
    their caves where they belong, at least for the time being.

    skip

    Skip, there is no limit to the number of women muslim men can own. I myself have 12 (joking of
    course)! What will you think of next?

    I'm glad you enjoy reading reports by the UN and Amnesty International. I'm sure you find these
    reports to be very informative, except when they report on Israel, in which case they are clearly
    biased, correct?

    Here is our moronic Muslim again daring to compare Israel with Iran. He is as bad as that other
    idiot on this newsgroup, Mr. Sherman , who does this sort of thing all the time too. But Mr. Sherman
    always likes to leave the impression that what Israel is doing is much worse! Like I have said
    before, if you are going to be an idiot, you might as well go all the way and be a complete idiot
    like Mr. Sherman.

    Quoted message said:

    In all honesty, many countries practice what is called "Sharia" or Islamic law, but their
    interpretations are ridiculous. True Islamic law makes serious convictions almost impossible. In
    the case of the adultering woman, at least 3 eyewitnesses must testify against her.

    Quoted message said:

    prove. Capital punishment can be sentenced for many crimes, but the Qu'ran has many lines similar
    to the Bible's "let he without sin cast the first stone."

    Here is the most pitiful excuse for the barbarities of Islam that I have ever read. You had best
    leave it to your clerics to explain it as you have just confirmed every bad impression any Westerner
    ever had about Islam.

    To compare the Bible to the Koran is another outrage. One is at the least a work of art and the
    other is nothing but insane ramblings about on the level of the Book of Mormon. Islam was a sect
    that never became any thing other than what it originally was - a sect. It is not a true
    universal religion at all. It was spread by force of arms and that is still the only way it can
    convert anyone.

    Quoted message said:

    I think the problem is "Holy-Men" such as Osama and the leaders in these countries truly regard
    themselves as without sin. They use their versions of Islamic law to keep themselves in power, and
    hold their adversaries down.

    Islamic law (all versions of it) ought to be thrown into the dust bin of history where it belongs.
    That anyone in this day and age can be living according to such nonsense is beyond belief to those
    of us in the West. The various Islamic "republics" that we have seen so far (Afghanistan and Iran)
    are an abomination and totally go against human nature. They are as bad as communism ever was, maybe
    even worse since the ideology supporting them is even crazier.

    Quoted message said:

    Again, if muslims are so intolerant, why do we not go door to door trying to convert people?
    When have you seen an ad encouraging you to check out Islam? If God wanted to unite man under

    You are confusing tolerance with proselytizing. I have already told you repeatedly that Muslims
    proselytize at the point of a sword. Either convert or die! You might want to consider converting to
    Christianity if you are truly God-saturated. The best version I can recommend to you is Roman
    Catholicism. It is one of the oldest religions and has a proven track record and its adherents
    regard it as the only true religion. All others, including Islam, are heretical.

    This is why as a leader, Muhammad did not force all of his followers to convert to Islam.
    Non-Muslim residents paid a lower tax rate and did not have to serve in the military even though
    they enjoyed equal rights under the law.

    Christians tell me I will go to hell because I do not share their beliefs. I do not believe you
    will go to hell for being a non-muslim. I will be judged according to Islam and you will be judged
    according to your own standards - even if you are an atheist.

    We atheists will be judged according to what takes place in the history of the times we live in, not
    in some never-never other world. Because of that, we are also capable of judging all other religions
    by the standard which we accept for ourselves. The Islamic terrorists have been found severely
    wanting and all I want is to see all of them dead. I hope there is a hell so they can spend all
    eternity there being repeatedly blown to pieces by bombs.

    I'm sorry you feel the way you do about Islam. It's sad that the actions of the few zealots will
    control the perception you have of the masses. But if you're interested in learning the truth I
    suggest you meet Muslims in your area or read the Qu'ran for yourself (and while you're at it,
    please find me anything in there about 72 virgins for each martyr - it's just a myth). If you want
    to continue following your own foolish and bigoted views, be my guest as well. I for one would be
    happy to drop this subject.

    No Christian or atheist is interested in reading the Koran for heaven's sake! Why would we want to
    read that when we have the Bible to read. And we do not need to talk to individual Muslims either.
    We know all we need to know by following the news reports of what your brethren are doing in the
    world. Do you think we are stupid or what? If I think you are trying to kill me, I will then try to
    kill you first. That is the ultimate "truth". You are the worst apologist for Islam that I have ever
    been exposed to.

    Why don't you just come out and yell it ... "I God Damn all those

    can to kill them all and put them out of their misery as fast as possible"! If that is being

    Question: If a bear craps in the woods and no one is around, does it still stink?...

    That would depend on several factors, the most important of which would be the quality and nature of
    the bear's dietary intake in the recent past.

    "Stinking" is also highly subjective, as any knowledgeable observer of the behavior of the
    domesticated variety of the Canis lupus can attest to, as the hominid observer and said canine will
    generally have a great variance of opinion on which emanations of odor are attractive.

    I've noticed that Lorenzo thinks he owns any conversation pertaining to Bigha. If you don't condemn
    the bike and join his Jihad, he acts as though you have no right to post on his thread and calls you
    insane. Sure, you're allowed to call the bike Satan on Wheels, but if think otherwise, or simply do
    not have an opinion on the bike, you become his blood enemy.

    I honestly can't figure out his obsession with Bigha. I'm beginning to think he's a semi-functioning
    Autistic and something about Bigha triggers unpleasant memories from his childhood.

    You may have noticed some of my posts above where I ask him specific questions. He's never actually
    responded to any of them, he only says I'm crazy or I'm a liar. When I ask him to be more specific
    he says I'm crazy or I'm a liar. I thought he was just being a troll at first, but now I honestly
    think he doesn't know any better.

    Either he's delusional or completely self-centered. And what's with the quotes he's always adding on
    to his posts? Are they supposed to make him look more intelligent? I have a hard time trusting
    people who back up their points with quotes from Charles Manson.

    I guess I was trying to have an argument with him, but I've already won by default because I'm the
    only one who makes coherant points.

    I laughed out loud when I read your post. How can you be so ignorant as to believe everything
    you read and see on TV? Then you form an idea in your head and protect this idea by obtaining as
    little information as possible on the subject. I don't see where you get off admonishing Larry
    Varney for reading a book. He simply said he was reading a book and had not admitted forming any
    opinions on the matter. Some people (apparently not Ed Dolan) like to make up their own minds
    rather than believe everything they hear and see from others.

    I am always in favor of an open mind on any and all subjects, but liberals have closed minds on
    all subjects. They are ruled by their ideology which tells them what to think about everything
    under the sun. Mr. Varney makes a big issue of being a free thinker never realizing how much his
    thinking is already circumscribed by his ideology. You too I suspect. But for the ultimate moron,
    the ultimate imbecile, the ultimate liberal ideologue, I give you the supreme jackass of all time
    otherwise known as Mr. Sherman. If you think like him, than you are lost and gone forever.

    I agree that many "free thinkers" are often closed minded indeed. But you seem to only be describing
    yourself when you speak of being ruled by an ideology that tells you what to think about everything
    under the sun. Your ideology is Fox News and whatever book it is you read, and you refuse to test
    their accuracy by learning anything on the subject. Sir, you are not an expert!

    "There is no free press in the Muslim world that I know of." You could probably fill the Great
    Lakes with what you don't know. You also didn't know that there were Christian Palestinians, who
    by the way, also fight the Israeli occupation. Does that make Christianity a brutal religion?
    Free press exists throughout the world except for places like China, North Korea and, until
    recently, Iraq. Just because something has a different slant than American media does not make
    it propogandous.

    I suspect those few Christian Palestinians had best get on board or they would quickly be done
    away with. To claim that the Arabs have a free press is just too ridiculous for words and
    marks you for the ignoramus that you are. The Arab press is nothing but propaganda. You, sir,
    are a moron!

    Honestly, what do you know about Christian Palestinians? They are fighting for the same cause as
    most Muslim Palestinians. They join terror groups (secular ones) and willfully fight against
    Israelis. Not all Palestinian groups are Islamic based. There are a few, such as Islamic Jihad and
    Hamas, however the vast majority are secular and anyone can join.

    Also, what do you know about Arab press? There are many news networks just like in the US. Not all
    countries control the media - just an unfortunate few. Also, you make the mistake of confusing the
    "muslim world" with the "arab world." The two are not synonomous despite the stereotype.

    Sometimes the more a person "learns" the stupider they get. That is ever the problem with

    minds can often cut to the quick of something whereas sophisticated minds have been educated

    Interfaith Tolerance - Serious problems here. The UN has recorded egregious violations against
    the Baha'i community of Iran, that country's second largest religious minority. The UN calls
    it "an unabated pattern of persecution". Same goes for Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and
    most especially those who denounce religion or are atheist.

    Women's Rights - Basically non-existent. I think each Islamic man can own up to five of them.
    Stoning is still practiced in cases of adultery. Most recently in Shiraz seven women were
    given 50 lashes each for allegedly showing disrespect during the month of Ramadan.

    If there is anything that should be wiped off the face of the earth I would put Islamic

    their caves where they belong, at least for the time being.

    To compare the Bible to the Koran is another outrage. One is at the least a work of art and the
    other is nothing but insane ramblings about on the level of the Book of Mormon. Islam was a sect
    that never became any thing other than what it originally was - a sect. It is not a true

    convert anyone.

    That anyone in this day and age can be living according to such nonsense is beyond belief to those

    Tolerance is a permanent exercise. My muslim friends are tolerant with my other friends (mainly the
    agnostic ones...), because we exercise our mutual tolerance. After a soccer game, we go to drink.
    The muslims (two Palestinians and one Jordanian) respect us because we drink beer and they don't try
    to convert us about this "demoniac beverage". And we respect them because their religion. This is
    the secret of our friendship.

    By the way... You've used a concept take out from Merriam-Webster - a dictionary made by americans
    to americans, and I think this is not a good source of knowledge... I don't think that M-W may give

    Do you mean you personally or you as a representative of Western civilization?

    Nope, not a good analysis or understanding of what I said. The Bible is THE BOOK of Western
    civilization. It is the foundation of the Judeo-Christian ethic which underlies all our Western
    democracies. It is our Book par excellence.

    The Koran is alien to us and need not concern us except to the extent that we need to know how to
    defend against its teachings. The Book of Mormon and Mein Kampf are minor books in the extreme and
    are side shows to Western civilization.

    Any Muslim who expects those of us in the West to bother about the Koran is not oriented in reality.
    The Koran is a mole hill; the Bible is Mt. Everest. If you want to play intellectual games you are
    going to have to learn how to make evaluations and not be running things together.

    to read that when we have the Bible to read. And we do not need to talk to individual Muslims
    either. We know all we need to know by following the news reports of what your brethren are
    doing in the world. Do you think we are stupid or what? If I think you are trying to kill me, I
    will then try to kill you first. That is the ultimate "truth". You are the worst apologist for
    Islam that I have ever been exposed to.

    OK, was there a point in there somewhere? Should you be judged by the actions of every Minnesotan,
    every American or every atheist? Do you agree with everything Bill Clinton stands for? Are you a
    clone of Jesse Ventura? No, you can only speak for yourself. It's silly to lump everyone of a
    particular group together. Especially when that group represents 20% of the planet!

    Groups are judged each and every day in this world by everyone. The Muslims themselves through out
    the Middle East are the most group think people on the face of the earth (of course, to dissent
    there is to maybe lose your head). People are judged by their associations, by the groups they
    belong to.

    As a Muslim, you will not escape from some of the anti-Muslim sentiment that is building world wide
    against your religion as a result of what the terrorists are doing. It is one thing to speak for
    yourself, but you cannot escape your group identifications either.

    There is nothing peculiar about being a Minnesotan, but there is about being an American. Every
    American as soon as he goes abroad realizes that in a flash. Some groups count, others don't.

    can to kill them all and put them out of their misery as fast as possible"! If that is being

    I cannot damn terrorists to Hell. Only God can do such a thing, and I believe he will. Muhammad
    warns us of a time in the future when people will use his teachings to spreat violence, hate and
    evil. He tells us they must be defeated. Many muslims, including myself, believe Osama and co. to
    be these people. I support the efforts to topple him.

    OK! It was like pulling teeth, but you have said the right thing. I do admit you to the common
    company of humanity despite your religion. You are not a terrorist, but you are part of a religion
    from which it springs. The Muslim terrorists will have to be finally wiped off the face of the earth
    by their fellow Muslims in their homeland of the Middle East. I think the Saudi will eventually
    undertake to do this, especially if they keep getting attacked by the terrorists.

    I agree that many "free thinkers" are often closed minded indeed. But you seem to only be
    describing yourself when you speak of being ruled by an ideology that tells you what to think
    about everything under the sun. Your ideology is Fox News and whatever book it is you read, and
    you refuse to test their accuracy by learning anything on the subject. Sir, you are not an expert!

    Conservative ideology is a mess and always has been. Liberal ideology is much more structured and
    thorough going. It has been worked on over the past century and means something. Conservative
    thinking wanders all over the place and I would never describe it as an ideology. It is more just
    what traditional Americans have always thought about things and is largely defined by its opposition
    to liberal ideology.

    What I know about the world is mostly based on a lifetime of reading and experience. I do not have
    to gather the latest news on everything to have an opinion. I know what to think with out being
    burdened by a lot of facts. ......

    Honestly, what do you know about Christian Palestinians? They are fighting for the same cause as
    most Muslim Palestinians. They join terror groups (secular ones) and willfully fight against
    Israelis. Not all Palestinian groups are Islamic based. There are a few, such as Islamic Jihad and
    Hamas, however the vast majority are secular and anyone can join.

    The Palestinians, whatever their religion (I suspect it is 95% Muslim), are the most badly led
    people in the world. Arafat has been a disaster for them. He should have been overthrown many years
    ago. I do not know why Israel has not taken him out long ago.

    Also, what do you know about Arab press? There are many news networks just like in the US. Not all
    countries control the media - just an unfortunate few. Also, you make the mistake of confusing the
    "muslim world" with the "arab world." The two are not synonomous despite the stereotype.

    I refuse to discuss the Muslim Arab press with you. Mr. Sherman is your man for that. He will tell
    you that they have us much freedom as we do here in the West no doubt.

    I well know the difference between the Arab World and the Muslim World. Nonetheless, religion is the
    strongest bond in the Muslim World, most especially in third world countries which have poorly
    developed nation states. That is why Osama can move so freely all over the Muslim World. Islam is
    more important than is nationalism. The reverse is the case in the Christian West. ......

    I would further suggest to you that most Americans are not having exactly a love relationship
    with Muslims. On the contrary, the hatred of them is growing by leaps and bounds. I feel like
    Paul Revere sounding the alarm. But sleep on McDuff! You will never know what kills you as you
    are sound asleep and nothing can wake you up.

    What? I'm so confused by that last paragraph that I cannot possibly formulate a response.

    You would have to read Shakespeare to get the allusion to McDuff.

    Question: If a bear craps in the woods and no one is around, does it still stink?

    Answer: Who cares.

    Would you pay $3000 to find out?

    At this point in time "Who Cares"?

    Logic is lost on our dear L.L.L. Rest assured that what any of us write here will probably have a
    very negligible effect on the sales of BiGHA. If it goes down in flames it will not be because of
    the efforts of Mr. Love. If the sales go platinum, I doubt that will be a repudiation of his
    concerns.

    Let him pretend he has convinced us all with his superior logic. That may get him to quit
    whining.

    Have you purchased a Bigha for the full $3000.00 price? Will you? Do you have anything at all to
    say about Bigha? If the answer to these questions are no, when why are you posting under this
    subject?

    Lorenzo L. Love home.thegrid.net~lllove

    “In the old days being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody’s crazy.” Charles Manson

    I've noticed that Lorenzo thinks he owns any conversation pertaining to Bigha. If you don't
    condemn the bike and join his Jihad, he acts as though you have no right to post on his thread and
    calls you insane. Sure, you're allowed to call the bike Satan on Wheels, but if think otherwise,
    or simply do not have an opinion on the bike, you become his blood enemy.

    I honestly can't figure out his obsession with Bigha. I'm beginning to think he's a
    semi-functioning Autistic and something about Bigha triggers unpleasant memories from his
    childhood.

    You may have noticed some of my posts above where I ask him specific questions. He's never
    actually responded to any of them, he only says I'm crazy or I'm a liar. When I ask him to be more
    specific he says I'm crazy or I'm a liar. I thought he was just being a troll at first, but now I
    honestly think he doesn't know any better.

    Either he's delusional or completely self-centered. And what's with the quotes he's always adding
    on to his posts? Are they supposed to make him look more intelligent? I have a hard time trusting
    people who back up their points with quotes from Charles Manson.

    I guess I was trying to have an argument with him, but I've already won by default because I'm the
    only one who makes coherant points.

    Coherant? You repeatedly lie about what I have said, falsely claim I never answer questions even as
    you quote my answers, continually try to change the subject because you don't like the answers to my
    questions. If that is your definition of coherent then you are even more delusional then I thought.

    The question is: Is there anyone on this news group, who is not a known liar, who has actually
    purchased a Bigha for the full $3000.00 price? The answer that Turner is trying to cover up is NO,
    no one experienced with recumbent bicycles is buying this bike because it is ridiculously
    overpriced. Not even Turner will buy one. Why Turner would be so troubled by this is curious. If he
    doesn't have a financial interest then why does he care? The only answer I can come up with is that
    he is just plain nuts.
