I was suggesting the 2010 bike at least wasn't the best equipment out there. Rossi couldn't ride that bike, or any derivative of it.

Why don't you? What a useless piece of nonsense statistic from 2014. Percentage of revenue returned from the federal government? Give me a break. What does that mean? Nothing.
Look at the same site and you will see that Tennessee is number TWO in earliest tax freedom day. And they are number fourteen in total taxes. Meanwhiie, your bluest states of California and New York are at the bottom on the list for tax freedom day and tax rates. So, even though he didn't say anything in this thread, apparently he is right and you are wrong. Read some facts for a change: tax-freedom-day-2017/ ------- Tax Foundation facts in PDF for 2017
Why don't you just keep your inaccurate bias politics out of motorcycle racing?

I don't think they can, to erase the Magna Carta from the law would take us back to feudalism in its worse sense. IMO it would allow stupid people like Corbyn to decide how much we can keep of what we make. The "Off with his head" brigade would love this.
I hate the word liberalism it can't apply in the way its used.
It's a dodgy label in Australia coz the Liberal party are the conservatives so we have to differentiate the small (lower case) "L" .........
It's a dodgy label anyway and it doesn't mean socialist, it's something your not rather than something you are. And it's not something you need to call yourself, it's what somebody else needs to call you because they need labels to pin on their beliefs. Their beliefs that substitute for reason. Their talismans and fetishes that ward off the evil spirits of objective reasoning.
It's interesting and instructive to note that you don't hear hisses of conservatard or GOPflake or whatever. ........, of the small "L" variety, are people who are reasonable and progressive and open minded. Progressive means learning, which is the opposite of believing.
And JKD, evil genius that you are, I think it must have been coined in the dungeons of Fox News and pumped into the earpieces of Vannity and O'Really. I don't think that other little scotch terrier with distemper of a man (yes you tucker) had time to disseminate that message, coz he was too busy snarling and snapping at anyone with the temerity to challenge the the rabid confirmation bias of his viewer base. Calling those guys cupcakes is the mot ....... juste.

*joins MotoGP forum, sees people arguing over the term "snowflakes" instead of discussing motorcycle racing*
Let the new guy settle this for everyone: both sides of the spectrum are filled with idiots. People on the left call anyone who disagrees with them "nazis", and the right calls anyone who disagrees with them "snowflakes". Both sides are stupid and wrong.

I would say that belligerently making assumptions about the intent of people's actions even though you know nothing about them is an acrid stupid smell.

Krops was spectacularly wrong on top of negatively influencing paddock/spectator opinion regarding Danny Kent. David Emmett was irresponsible writing such a ...... chickenshit opinion piece. I'm just glad there were people who agreed that Krop's take on Kent was full of ..... So much for Danny Kent being exiled to Leprosy Island never to be seen again.

The recent changes at Kiefer show there must have been massive problems, certainly on one side of the garage. I know Taz has taken a massive step up in class regards the series he is now competing in but the gulf in performance between teammates is a bit off. Hopefully he can improve his results in the remaining GPs now as well.
I did think at the time Kent seemed to have been a bit of a prima donna and should perhaps have stuck about to try and make things work. Happy to admit I may have been wrong on this and hope that he gets a fair crack at Moto2 next year. Prove a few folk (myself included) wrong!!!!
He doesn't seem to have any shame over his original hit piece.

Marcus Buffoon's comment is hilarious. One of your best articles ever mate.
Jesus, that's a low standard. No actual interview from the main subject and Krops character assassination based on faceless paddock opinions under the chickenshit cover of anonymity. Anonymous sources are generally used in whistle blowing situations where retaliation may lead to serious consequences. I'm not sure how this article pasted even a laughable standard for journalism.
Kropo : Thank you. I'm quite the journalist.

Yeah im with you, perhaps Kent may be a bit high maintenance, but it's not like the paddock is devoid of shallow or attention drawing characters, just look at Cuntslow, as arrogant as they come, even quiting on Ducati; so racing does have its prima donas. But I'll say this, Kent is young, if he's behaving like at .... at Cuntslow's age, I'd say he had worn out his welcome. Krops tore down this kid when it wasn't necessary, frankly I still don't get why Kropo had to single him out and write an exclusive piece on the kid (and one based on nothing more than his own imagination.) The article, rather conspicuous, smack as a vendetta by Krops, like maybe Kent had crossed him. Anyway, so we have a cast of various characters in the paddock, a spectrum of good guys and bad guys. I like the way MadMax described Kropotkin's article, "a hit job". We don't know if it's going to go well for Kent at Speed Up, but it sure as hell doesn't help when you got an irresponsible "journalists" telling people this kid is tainted, untouchable, and a liability.
If we dont think Krops words have influenced, check out his comments section for the Misano summary. You have a guy having an ah ha moment of discovery deferring to expert Krops; taking Krop's explanation as to why Marc tried to win the race as fact. 'Oh now I know why Marc had such a fierce last lap, he remembered the Rossi fans who booed him all of a sudden.' There wasn't enough on his mind I guess. Not the fact Pedtrux rear tire was shot after studying him over several laps, not that Marc thought of the significance 5 championship points might make (the margin has decided 06, 15 titles) and not that Marc had been calm behind the leader calculating a lunge over a lap was better than one over a corner (a lesson he learned at EDIT: Austria not Silverstone). No, no, Krops explanation that it was the red mist of revenge towards some faceless ....... Rossi fans that woke Marc out of his stupefied nap. His readers swallowing whole this absurd line of reasoning.
