    Death Valley: January 2013

    Saline Valley Hot Springs Or Saline Valley Warm Springs depending where you read it. Amazing place. Hippie culture. 100% off the grid and maintained by volunteers and good karma. We didn't want to leave here. The feeding of the Burros at the springs has led them to raid food lockers and...

    Death Valley: January 2013

    That's not the the intent at all. The previous issues/attitudes would not exist if in a different sub-forum with relaxed rules. I'd love to politely discuss all topics with all members. :)

    I think this is a great idea. I would even pay for such an area to discuss the real world without a filter other than manners. Yes, there are other sites to discuss ____ subjects, but most of us prefer the company here. So true. We've built quite a community of like minded folks here, is it...

    Second Generation Tacoma - Front Mud Flaps - Or ANY Mud Flaps for that matter

    Not sure but my experience with mudflaps has taught me that longer/more coverage is better than stubbies. And more coverage means less chance of any potential rule book shenanigans with a bored CHP officer ;)

    Neither of those were being discussed by anyone other than the international posters who insisted on derailing the thread by bleeding their political views all over a subject they don't understand. And I stated point blank that this was not the place to make them understand or argue and they...

    Then why not delete the international posters derailing the threads and INSISTING on making it political? You guys have it backwards my friend. Seems the "political" label is a bit overused around here IMO, those threads were about activism and awareness that affects ALL of us...

    What I have a problem with is that despite serious attempts to keep on topic and maintain civil discourse, the majority is silenced in favor of a vocal minority of "international" members. Again. .02
