No More Resistance to Offensive T-Shirts

T-shirts with slogans and statements that are offensive, vulgar and violent are being sold in the market over the last decade. Retail companies are certainly making money though they claim, they have no idea what’s being printed.

The T-shirts manufactured by an online retailer recently printed vulgar messages , 'keep calm and kill her', 'keep calm and choke her', 'keep calm and grope on', 'keep calm and punch her' that reflected violence and crime against women. However the firm based out of the U.S that manufactured these shirts claimed that it was all due to a computer error and that they had not even the slightest idea about the same.

Even Amazon, one of the biggest online chains of retail stores, selling worldwide has recently put a halt on its range of T-shirts that printed obscene messages against women. In an answer to this, Tony Dinenage MP said that it is ridiculous to sell products with such obscenity and foolish on the part of the manufacturer to claim that it all happened due to computer error. In response to protesting complaints from customers to the offensive slogans, Amazon has removed T-shirts with disturbing messages from sale.

However, Solid Gold Bomb, another online retailer sold a few short sleeved T-shirts between 15 and 17 dollars. Both Amazon and the clothes shop were slammed by the potential customers and the clothes were branded as 'disgusted' and ' disturbing'.

Michael Fowler, founder of Solid Gold Bomb said that he felt embarrassed and had no words left to express how sorry he felt about the offensive statements used on the shirts. He also said that the slogans were generated as a result of a computer program that was used by the manufacturers of Solid Gold Bomb. And, it was he who was responsible for that and none from the organization.

Thereafter, there were many claims put forth by people associated with the firm accepting the printing as a mistake but users of Amazon already urged other users to email the shop and Amazon to express their disgust and demand that the shirts be banned from being sold. The program uses a list of words to create mocked up image of the T-shirt that displays on screen to the online shoppers.

The message that was controversial experienced a boom in popularity and it became a trend in outlets producing cushions, tea-towels and posters. Solid gold bomb is an Australian company and describes that its name stands for small global t-shirt company. Among the 700 words in the company's word list , a few became offensive individually and in combination.

Now the slogans such as 'bake on', 'beat on', ' teach on', 'rock on' are the new set of slogans going popular. Amazon has now come up with policies that would restrict the company from posting inappropriate listings with respect to offensive material.

One of its other policies about nudity concern states that images are strictly prohibited that portray nudity in a graphic or gratuitous manner. Amateur pornography, X-rated movies, and hard core magazine material are also prohibited. Yet after this, Amazon still is selling offensive T-shirts with offensive statements printed on them.

Liberals emphasize the value of diversity, and with some justification. Many types of diversity are good. One thinks of culinary diversity, musical diversity, artistic diversity generally. Biodiversity is good, and so is a diversity of opinions, especially insofar as such diversity makes possible a robustly competitive market place of ideas wherein the best rise to the top. A diversity of testable hypotheses is conducive to scientific progress. And so on.

But no reasonable person values diversity as such. A maximally diverse neighborhood would include pimps, whores, nuns, drug addicts, Islamo-headchoppers, Hell’s Angels, priests both pedophile and pure, Sufi mystics, bank clerks, insurance salesmen, people who care for their property, people who are big on deferred maintenance . . . . You get the point. Only some sorts of diversity are valuable. Diversity worth having presupposes a principle of unity that controls the diversity. Diversity must be checked and balanced by the competing value of unity, a value with an equal claim on our respect.

For example, one may value a district which is home to a diversity of restaurants (Turkish, Thai, French. . .), but only if they are all good restaurants. A diversity which includes ptomaine joints, greasy spoons, and high-end establishments is not the sort of diversity one values. Diversity of quality is not a value. Or one may value a philosophy department in which a diversity of courses is on offer, but not one in which the diversity extends to the competence levels of the instructors or the preparedness levels of the students. One wants excellent instruction on a diversity of topics – but that is just to say that the value of diversity must be kept in check by the competing value of unity: the instructors are precisely not diverse in respect of their excellence.

Diversity unchecked by the competing value of unity leads to divisiveness. For this reason, one ought not ‘celebrate diversity’ unless on is also willing to ‘celebrate unity.’ And this is precisely what too many liberals and leftists cannot, or will not, comprehend. They unreasonably emphasize diversity at the expense of unity.

Compare the unreasonable overemphasis on diversity with the unreasonable overemphasis on liberty. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth a while ago in liberal enclaves over the evil John Ashcroft’s supposed assault on our civil liberties. Liberals make the same mistake here that they make in the case of diversity: they fail to appreciate that liberty and security are competing values each of which requires the other to have the value it has.

Top 3 reasons to buy biker T-shirts

Top 3 reasons to buy biker T-shirts
Life is lovely when you are having all the wishes fulfilled. There is nothing more attractive than a bike in youth. Riding a bike or a bicycle is one of the passions the youth craves for. Normally, most of the riders don’t bother to buy a costume which makes them more professional and stylish. All they likes to wear is a simple shirt or a hoodie, but they can look more attractive and handsome by paying little attention to their costumes by adding the biker t-shirts, which are readily available at the online stores. Following are the top 3 reasons to buy some impressive garments for you or your young riders.

1) Style and safety
I may not be wrong to say that safety at road shall be given more preference than mere style. A boy looking gorgeous and smart is still exposed to the threats on the road, whereas, a boy who puts on safety cloths is likely to rescue severe circumstances. The online store offers biker t-shirts that are painted creatively with motivational quotes and slogans. Wherever the rider goes, it becomes an inspiration for the viewers. It’s the basic safety precautions that can save a biker from worse conditions that’s why wearing a helmet with a high quality t-shirt is advised to professional riders.

The bikers can select from a huge range of shirts that vary in colors, designs and sizes. For fast riders, bright colors with a flexible fabric are preferred the most, because it highlights their presence and feel them comfortable.

2) Pockets to hold things
The need to have pockets in the t-shirts is realized when a biker have to carry anything precious with him or her. The rear pockets help them to keep things in it safely, whereas the zipped pockets moves a step further in ensuring the safe custody of your belongings. Bikers, who are more passionate of racing and speed riding, can keep their holdings in pockets without the fear of being lost or broken. You can also stop the things colliding in your pockets, by ordering a shirt with tightly zipped pockets.
3) High quality fabric
Staying comfortable really matters a lot when you have to drive at a long route. For such purposes, the biker t-shirt needs to be made of high quality fabric. Selecting between a lower and a higher quality depends upon the level of comfort you desire. If does not mean that you shall order shirts that are high in prices. You can simply search a few online stores, make a short comparison and order your favorite designs that are high in quality and good in prices. It protects you from the moisture, which seems ineffective but affects you when you speed up the vehicle.

Riding on the road means you are exposed to uncertain threats because your companions are unknown. Sometimes you might be driving alone and suddenly a commercial truck will bypass you. A danger surrounds you all the time. With the help of biker’s t-shirts, you can make yourself visible to people, so that they cross you carefully. Have a safe and blessed ride with professional and safe suiting.

A Beginner’s Guide To Buying Your First Motorcycle Helmet

For any rider, a motorcycle helmet is one of the most essential pieces of gear, and especially so for first-time riders. According to the Missouri Department of Revenue’s motorcycle guidelines “Knowing Your Motorcycle,” more than half of motorcycle crashes occur within the first six months of learning to ride.

No matter what your experience is, buying a proper helmet is necessary. Here are a few tips toward buying your first motorcycle helmet:

Know The Standards

If you are buying a motorcycle helmet from a trusted dealer or online website, it’s pretty difficult to purchase a helmet that’s not certified by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Most websites will tell you immediately if it’s “DOT certified,” which means it follows federal guidelines by the American National Standards Institute, Motorcycle USA reported.

Some states that require riders to wear a helmet enforce all motorcycle helmets worn on the open road to be DOT-approved. According to the source, another certification is Snell, whose standards go much further than DOT regulations. Snell-certified helmets withstand more intensive blows and hits through the testing process to make sure they’re safe.

Comfort And Fit

This is where some riders have a tough time following safety guidelines because a lot of people tend to buy helmets for their looks and not safety guidelines. However, the fit of a motorcycle helmet is one of the most important things to consider when riding, Zig Wheels reported.

Helmets need to fit tightly around your head and enough so that if you shake your head, the helmet doesn’t move. According to the source, your cheeks should barely puff up for a full-face helmet, which ultimately means the helmet is appropriately tight. “You want it to be snug, almost to the point of being uncomfortable,” said Chris Sackett, vice president of Bell Helmets, according to the Telegraph. “You only want the skin to move, you don’t want the padding to move against the skin, this would mean the helmet is likely too big.”

In the instance of an accident, most riders that do not have tightly fitting helmets lose them before impact, which makes wearing the gear pointless in the first place. For half-faced helmets, there should only be at most a one-finger gap between the chin strap and your neck, the source reported.

Know The Different Types Of Helmets

There are numerous types of helmets on the market and it’s best to know which one will work best for you.

“We always recommend full-face helmets, the more coverage the better,” said Sackett, according to the Telegraph. “You’re definitely going to have more protection. Not everyone wants to hear that, a lot of folks out there want to feel the road.”

Half helmets have a shell shape, which only cover the top of your head and use a strap to connect around your chin and neck. While this helmet is the least safe of any type, it still could protect your head in an accident.

Open face or three-quarter helmets are like half helmets, but protection goes down along the side of your face as well. These helmets protect the side, top and back of your head and also connect by a strap.

Full-face and modular helmets cover your entire head and chin, and typically have a plastic visor to protect your eyes as well. These helmets are the safest model since they protect the entire head. Modular helmets are designed to have the front open up for easy access and communication.

Dual sport and motocross helmets are also full-face, but often have an elongated chin protection and a sun visor, or peak. Dual sport helmets often have a removable protective screen, while motocross helmets have no shield at all. The open-face, half and motocross helmet would all require either goggles or glasses to protect your eyes.

NFL Motorcycle Helmet

Peter Waldron wants to know if we carry NFL Motorcycle Helmets.

NO!!!!

We tried these helmets some time ago and it was a nightmare.  Seriously, what percent of Americans ride motorcycles?  I will answer: 5%

That means that that there are 15,807,449.5 Bikers in the United States.

How many of these 15807449.5 Bikers like Football? Google just said it is 49%.

So;  7,745.650.255  Bikers like NFL Football.

Since there are 32 teams in the NFL, we divided 242051/32 and came up with 242,051....That means, at the most, we could only sell 242,051 Dallas Cowboys or any other team helmet at a time.

Neoprene Face Mask

Here are some reviews of our Neoprene Face Masks:

Good mask it's just what I needed while riding my Harley Fatboy in the morning. The mask looks great with my German helmet, straight evil looking as I'm rumbling down my block! I get lots of compliments. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the customization I had to do in order to make it perfect. Initially like with all face masks my goggles or shades fogged up but all you have to do is get some scissors and cut around the bottom part of the nostril area on the mask, cut enough so that while wearing the mask just the bottom part of your nostrils are exposed. When you breath outward through your nose there should be no material blocking because if there is it will send the hot air upwards and fog up your goggles.If you need too you can also cut around the eye area to make it wider. Besides this the material is thick and great for cold weather riding. I ordered this and my german helmet and i received it in less then a week. I recommend this mask to everyone!

Great look for riding, just add leather and look awesome. It is also reversible, so you don't scare young kids.
I bought 4 of these 3 for Christmas presents and one for myself. I have to say that when I first got it I was skeptical but after I used it in 17 degree weather I was impressed. The only downfall is that you have to wear a hat or helmet or something to support the top so it doesn't droop down into your eyes. But if you are outside in weather cold enough to have to use this chances are that you are wearing something on your head too. Good product for the price.

Very pleased!!! I'm trying to ride in the cold, with this mask I can't feel the windthe wind in my face which I loved... 5 stars
