No, people have the right to practice whatever religion in this great country as long as they are not doing anything illegal such as sacraficing virgins.

added liquid cooling and radiators to their big twin cruisers. They can't used the "ugly radiator" argument anymore against the liquid cool big twin Japanese cruisers. Used to be "chrome plastic" from the HD crowd, and that died down because HD started to use them too. Then it's the "radiator is ugly on those JAP cruisers". What's next?

Bingo  ! If you would to watch it in video form, there are some good vids on YouTube as well (if it's still there) that teach about the stuff in our culture. With Google, it's just a click away, instead of waiting for days ...

For a squawker who claims that Hmong culture/custom is primitive and backwards, they yet turn to and rely on Google/WWW for whatever mediocrity they can scavage  ... 

Oh come on, surely your Google/WWW can entertain Lilly -- so squawk away.

(We all are interested to know what "mediocrity" you can scavage from Google/WWW  ...   )

Ua tsaug  ...   

Yep, still just cricket sounds from Mr.  "vo doo"  . And yes, I can because it's just a mouse click away but she's not asking me to do it for her.

The inquiring was requested for several days, and nothing but cricket sounds, and now that I showed her a way to get the answers to her questions, mr. "vo doo" can't handle it. Hey, she specifically asked for you, NOT me. I was just wondering why the cricket sounds for several days so I showed her another avenue. Nothing wrong with that FU.

/\/\/\ ...  why don't you answer all of Lilly's question with your Google-based information then?

Let's see how much you can Google -- 

Because a person can gain more by learning to do it him/herself. Not just learning how to be more resourceful but also discovering how easy it is access the available information on the WWW regarding Hmong weddings and pretty much anything else with just a click of the mouse.
Yes, it's that easy, just ask Google.

Much better than hearing crickets since August 15th when the inquiry was created ...

some of you guys should go to Malaysia... i hear they have lots of beautiful hmong women there who aren't after your money. 

Disagree, "money" is still on top of many women's criteria when looking for a mate regardless of what country they are from. Just like looks is on top of many men's criteria when looking for their mates. Therefore, can't count on the "who aren't after your money".

Like I've pointed out in the other thread, Google is your friend. It's much faster to get the information by asking Google too. Lots of resources out there ( text and video ), and it can easily answer your "not look back" and "black umbrella" questions.

Lilly,

Here's the same man (Tougeu Leepalao) that compiled the funeral procedure in video form:

Besides Tougeu's legit knowledge, lots of other free (via www) resources out there. Again, Google is your friend.

I thought they are building a new stadium, did that fell through?

No go, as usual, it's all about money. Doesn't look like the city of Oakland and/or county of Alameda can help out so the Raiders are exploring possible cities that can like San Jose, and Los Angeles (back to L.A.?). L.A. is still the second largest market in the U.S. behind NYC so if not a current team, they will have the best chance when the NFL expands again.

3, 3 early in the second quarter. Man I can't believe they are playing in a baseball in field. The Coliseum is aging needs to be replace or major renovation soon.

I'm totally late on this, but I remember reading an article about him and his bike at these mile events!  Geezus, that sucks. 

At nearly 300mph, I wonder if his gear even held up.   

It should as long as the appropriate gear is used. This guy fell off at close to 250 MPH and his gear held up and he's ok for the most part considering the circumstances:

This is so tragic. So many young lives cut short. 

Agree. Those things happen just about everywhere too.
