Hmong Culture & History / Re: Marriage within same clan

What if you dated someone of the same last name because this other person gave you a false name?  I've been told to restore honor, a process "fix" in Hmong is done?

Nothing needs to be done as you didn't do anything wrong....and nothing will happen...so no need to waste time to "restore honor" and other primitive BS. O0

Those states requiring front plates suck.  No need for it these days.  I'm willing to take that risk where I live.  The tow hook mount on the BMW is a nice option.

Agree because it does ruin the looks of a car's frontal angle for those type of cars. However, I understand their purpose. Although the front plate is required where I live, I'm glad LE in my area have enough sense to understand why front plates ruin the looks of certain cars i.e., Vette.

What yr was your vette? I imagine owning something like this in ca is a no no by the population since ca is a ergonomic state/ tree huggers.

97, first year C5. Plenty of Vette owners that wave "Hi" to each other in CA and I haven't heard any complaint from the general public...

It gets great MPG on the freeway for a 1997 V8, almost 30 MPG when I cruise 65-70MPH on 6th gear...

...understood why those cars don't wear front license plate and I've never been stopped for it so it remained like this throughout my ownership:




For those that LE do stop for not having a front plate but don't want to mess with the bumper, I saw this recently and thought it was a good clean alternative:

Yes, which leads me to believe that he was played by her.

Back in Laos, there are incidences where the parents did not allow the marriage.  What happened is BOTH the boyfriend AND girlfriend committed suicide, not just one, to show their undying love for one another.

Some cases are similar to "Romeo & Juliet"...

Per the cases in Laos and Thailand, the girl did as her parents' wished by going through with the marriage with a guy she doesn't love but it was just too difficult to be in an unhappy marriage so she took herself out of her misery instead...

You don't hear a lot of these cases because of the laws here in the US which allows 2 consenting adults to get married.  My thought is, maybe his girlfriend did not actually love him enough to marry him.  Led him on and lied to him that her parents did not allow her to marry him.  IF she loved him enough, I think she would most likely run off with him.

Yup, if she's an adult and consent, nothing her parents can do about it...

as a parent, i will do everything and anything in my power to lead the cow to the river, but certainly i will NOT make it drink if it does not want. every parent want the best for their daughter to have a successful life, not necessary a happy one.  those who started life happily almost are NOT happy soon after the fact along the process.

That's not accurate as I've dealt with parents that don't care about their kids (son/daughter) having worked in the social services field.

Me too but only if my girl also agrees with her parents. If she still wants to go through with it, I will continue the process with her because it's our lives, not her parents.

It has nothing to do with tradition and everything to do with stupidity! Grow some balls and grow up. He and She were not ready to get married and since we don't have detials of thier age, i'm going to assume they were both unemployed and young. Because if they were mature enough, they could have eloped and lived on thier own. Parents would eventually come around. End of story.

Oh and to answer your question.. NO it doesn't matter who my kids marry. In the end it'll be thier life. So be it if she or he marries a thug, low life etc.... I'll voice my opinions and also tell him or her what I think, but I'd never tell them who they can or can't marry.

Nailed it.  O0

For me, as long as my kid(s) are happy, that's all that matters..becau se at the end of the day, it is their life.

Also want to add that when I lived in Laos, there several suicide cases of both genders because of the parents refusal to let their kids marry who they love. There are also cases where the bride was forced to marry and then she commit suicide shortly after via opium overdose. So I agree with Special K that as parents, you do your best to guide your children but the ultimate decision should be theirs because it's their life.

Looks can be subjective so opinions vary but when I think of the worst dollar per look ratio cars, I think of these (one looks like a bug and the other looks like a popsicle stick project):

If I was you I'd just google "quiet" tires.  and then read the reviews and buy what fits your needs.

Simple as that.

Gotta love "google" and it's "simple" way of retrieving info in no time.  O0

Yeah man. Old joint, although I do believe Contour is back in business and was announced at last year's CES?? I can't recall exactly which event. Either way, I'll be looking into investing in a GPS action Cam as well so I won't have to buy a lap timer.

They aren't out of business

Thanks for the info, good to see them back, the more options the better imo. I've only had experience with GoPro and Drift cams.

Thanks.

This is actually the original Contour Roam. It gets the job done but is for sure lacking in quality and features when compared to the newer stuff. A buddy of mine runs the HD GPS Sony Cam and its pretty awesome.  He gets lap times from it and he gets 1080p video at 60fps. No 4k video though. I'll post a pic later of how the bike sits today.  :'(

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't even think of "Contour" because they went out of business like a year ago.

My bike.

Cool man, welcome to the 2 wheel section.

How does that Sony cam compared to others i.e., GoPro of the world?...

No, it does not. As long as she's happy, and her happiness will bring me happiness too.
