............Darren if you are suggesting some of us are Racist because we aren't fond of Mr.West because He is Black I think you are way off base.........Because of things Mr. West has said and done over the course of many years I wouldn't care if He was white , red, yellow, blue, green, or orange......I would feel exactly the same way......and in the past I have offered you assistance on things Spyder oriented and it didn't matter to me what " cover " you were !!!!!!......Mike :thumbup:
It's an English Idiom which perhaps is not well known in the US. Means not making assumptions or prejudging people by the outward projection of their personality. Has nothing to do with colour or race, at least I've never heard/read it used in that context, but rather how they behave in public or the image presented of them in the media etc.
Wow! I can't believe that this thread has received this much attention. I don't care who he is, or what he rides. He paid for his and I paid for mine. The fact that he would ride one would actually make me possibly like him more. My thoughts are, ride your own ride, and enjoy yourself. If you don't like a certain ride, or rider, then it is your problem, not theirs.
Who said racist? Mike you are the only one that said that. I don't think of cover as the color of someone's skin, but what they are known for by those people that don't really know who the person is. We only know what the media tells about this person we don't really know what's under that cover presented to us by the media. So put the racist card back in the deck, and re-shuffle!
Blueknight there is lots of love from me to you, because you are part of the SL family that I have fallen in love with since joining last May. Love you and everybody on the site for the advice, tips on Spyder ownership. :bowdown:..........Interesting explanation of that Idiom...because I always thought it went more like this " not making assumptions or prejudging people by their outward PHYSICAL APPEARANCE "...........I formed my opinion of Kanye West, not because He is black, but because of His " outward projection ".....same thing goes for Justin Bieber and He is Caucasian......................And to those folks out there who espouse " if you ride/own a Spyder you must be a great human being and I/we LOVE you " .....well I OWN/RIDE A SPYDER ,SO WHERE IS THE LOVE .......:dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:.................Mike :thumbup:
................................Darren, this has gotten way out of bounds, and for that I apologize......However in my Post I made no comment on " SL welcomes all celebrity or no celebrity "......My comment was about " I never judge a book by it's cover "....and ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT .....and I don't like Kanye West for a lot of reasons , but being Black isn't one of them.....So I wasn't judging Him by His cover.....................That's what I thought you were referring to...............If it wasn't, GREAT, If it was , I have nothing else to say about this...............I HOPE THIS ENDS ALL FURTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THIS .......Mike :thumbup:No suggestion or comment from myself of anybody being racist :roflblack:. "SL welcomes all celebrity or no celebrity" were the words I used. I believe SL would welcome anybody celebrity or no celebrity on the site. If I have said something wrong, I will expect to hear from Lamonster. Has far as I know using the word "Celebrity" is ok. :roflblack:
My two take always on this are: $15,000.00 .......really? And how on earth is Kim going to get her big rear end on the back of an F3?
I bet she will provide the saddle bags
If we rode with him; perhaps he'd pay for all of the fuel being used! :joke:
I actually am glad to see some of Hollywood's celebrities buying Spyders:
Kanye West
Brooke Burke
Ryan Reynolds
The Bieber kid
Mike Holmes
Paris Hilton
Miley Cyrus, and her Dad
These folks get noticed... this means that Spyders will get noticed! :2thumbs:
According to the supermarket checkout line...Kim told him he needs therapy and the marriage is over.
On Facebook today, there is a big thing about how he is stealing music and not paying for it, from the same website he may be suing for posting his music for free.
The entire thing is a joke. Kardashinans, Jenners the whole thing, this is probably how the entire world thinks the USA lives. Add Myley Cyrus to the mix and Justin Beiber.
Stupidity and money sometimes thrive together. If the media stopped, they might all need therapy to come to terms with true reality.
Paris...
