Do I need "Enhancers" for my built-in emotions?

ADMINS: PLEASE REMOVE MY THREAD UPON THE FIRST COMPLAINT. I need to get this off my.. um.. head. I will use confusing language so people under 18 won't understand what I'm ranting about.

I just saw an ad for some enhancer for women's [motorcycle?] drive.... claims to return her drive to it's previous horsepower. Everyday I get emails about things and/or pills that should help me mod my engines for increased performance. Now, I do understand the aging process and engines and chassis wear out over time loosing their rigidity, but are we really using the right snake oils to rekindle the ride? I can't claim that I am old enough to remember the days 'way back when' when this or that was different, but I do know things have changed a lot as far as peoples preception goes in what is considered successful in certain arenas. I could read about times gone past when tender loving care was the cure that bonded one frame to another, and all the mods were not needed, not known about and therefore never missed. I'm going somewhere with this so please follow me here... LOVE used to be an emotion that created a world between two that could endure everything. Love could rasie the sun, move the tides, blind people, change the world, change YOUR world, make you crazy-happy, and love could even INSPIRE your hoursepower. I can think of nothing more INSPIRATIONAL [wink wink] than a super deep love from one woman, knowing what she is to me and I to her. THAT is the only enchancer I would need. That is what is often missing along with proper communication, grown over years and years of testing and tuning, and yet instead of wondering if the Feul Injectors are jammed causing missfires, we just add some OCTANE BOOST and try to work around it. You could get addicted... ney.... so USED to the octane boost, that you might even forget the Feul Injectors even do anything to increase the cylinder pressure. It's EASIER to add octane boost than it is to tear apart the engine and rebuild it. That's what we ALWAYS do: the quick easy fix that someone can profit from. It has left us with a bunch of super fast wheelie bikes that people burnout on, instead of nice long lasting comfortable cruisers that will be rolling into the twilight years focusing on the road ahead instead of each and every tiny little offramp that grabs it's eye.

Let me go at another angle: there is this thing out there in the world that can cause 'EXCTASY' [wink wink] in your mind making you think you are in LOVE with everyone and whoever is nearest at the time. This thing is a man-made thing that basically replicates the mental expeinence of love via physical/chemical reaction. It's not really safe for a bunch of reasons you can find online and is not even legal anywhere except Amsterdam. Do you really want to have that replace the real experience of LOVE? Would you like to sit in a blank white room expeiencing love all by yourself or get out there and experinece the REAL thing along with all the risks and possible pains - which, by the way, can also provide the hightened stimulous of the real thing over any product that duplicates it. I vote for teh real. I am a flesh and blood human being, in a physical world, and I don't need any enchancers to provide addition emotions of love in me if that emotion was designed to fade. [which it's not FYI]

Back to love as an enhancer. I notice people drifting away from using LOVE in the many ways it should be used: as a gift, given freely without selfish worry or want for recipication. If expected returns exist than it isn't REAL love. So, where as people do grow older and engines DO wear out, that is just a part of life and many times a loving partner can re-hotwire the motor with patience and love, but no one remembers that that option even exists. Why remember that when the quick octane boost is so readily available? Why? Well, octane costs money. Love does not. Octane has side affects, love does not [don't start with me there ;) ] Octane boost might make an engine feel you didn't have enough confidence in it to be the full engine that it could be without octane boost.... this works with the woman's horsepower also. Love only serves to boost, lubricate, supercharge, and rev up ANY engine, even if that engine is in the riders mind and not cylinders below.

Someday age WILL take over and parts will rust and fall off. Will the love still be there? Or will love have been replaced with it's souless powered fake equivilant? I believe only real love can make the rusting process more enjoyable than the rusting process done alone or with a numb replacer.

Yes, we live in an enhanced world were everything wants to be harder, better, faster, stronger [to quote DAFT PUNK] but that pace steam rolls over truth and reality and is replaced with emails telling me I can be more than I am. I didn't know I needed to be any more! Why is someone I don't know telling me anything? If my woman's horsepower is dwindling, than that is directly MY RESPONSIBILTY to go in and tear apart her engine and do what I can to keep performance up. That does not include ANY selfishness or expected returned love. Just REAL love, used properly, given freely without ever worrying about whether an enhancer for that love ever existed. MY responsibiliity, not some enhancer. *I* should be enhancing HER life every waking day that I am not dead. That's my job and I will NOT be replaced.

What I guess I am saying is, yes these things DO work, but I believe they are totally unneeded and damaging simply by existing. Rant complete. Hope I didn't offend or drive people off the site. But take a moment to think about it. Thank you and drive safely.

speak on it wwjd you have a witness
biggrin.gif

i get spammed at least a dozen times a day with crap to give me 3" down there or a full cup size up top WTF but i'll tell you what the first time i find out i have E.D. (flat tire, no rise HMMM HMMM) ima go insane
wink.gif
 
See?? They even give it a NAME: E.D. It's just a NATURAL phonomenen. It's like naming natural death L.C. ... Life Challenged! Come on. It's normal, we age, we die. Deal. I know someday I will be too senile to drive safely, at which time I will give up my keys and not grump around trying to be something I'm not. My woman will understand my bod, at the same time I'm understanding why she is planting flowers in the bathtub and calling me Albert. sheeesh!
 
I agree totally! I get so much of that junk to my different accounts too. If I do die, I will probably have it rebuilt with a new piston thrown in there but, that is just me.
 
Wait...wait...wait...

This from a guy that rides a GSX1300R because BIGGER IS BETTER?!!

Ummm...I'm kidding...points all well taken WWJD...we live in a world where we are all supposed to be something we weren't born to be...plastic surgery, pills, hair plugs and makeup...I don't get spammed with those ads (lucky GIRL), but I see enough of them on the TV and in magazines, so there must be a huge market full of men/women with BENT FRAMES...need fixin'...it's all very superficial...
 
do any of you agree that love and patience are very important factors that are falling by the wayside?

The thing that started this was an internet ad for women to revitalize their drive, but I think THAT issue is the MAN'S real problem.... no more does he bring roses and spend time listening and communicating - which can restore drive on it's own. These quick fixes give us guys yet another reason to be lazy and be less than the man we should be. And the women I date will be backwords thinking THEY have to please rather than be the one to be pleased to please a man. Make sense?

Okay...I think maybe you're reading a bit more in to the ad than intended...there are tons of pressures in life for both men and women...hell, most gals I know are drugged up on antidepressants just to make it through the day (a whole differerent topic)...guess what?  Everyday stresses and lack of time in a 24 hour day, plus drugs like antidepressants, actually do affect a woman's drive (men too...I'm only trying to address the female perspective here)...

I'll be the first to say that I don't see a need for this type of drug, but someone out there might...just like I feel that I need caffeine to get my day rolling, perhaps their are women out there that would like the extra boost, that extra spring in their step, to obtain more whatever in the bedroom...for women, it's truly more than likely a need stemming from being completely worn the hell out most of the time...for men, this type of "enhancement" seems to follow the lines of "stamina" and (oh so delicately) "size"...

Do love and patience play a part?  Sure they do, but I suppose if there's something out there for both to take from time to time to boost the "mood", then have a ball (no pun intended)...if it's not hurting anyone, don't let it bother you so much WWJD...you nailed the essentials in a lasting and fulfilling relationship...daily pressures and kids, work and bills, problems and strife sometimes make things not so sunny, so if there's a pill to help ease the moment along, why not?  

As an aside, I don't know a single female friend that's tried any of "enhancement" drugs...can you guys say the same of the men?  Just curious...maybe this drug was created by men thinking they could match women with Viagra-laden guys...ever think about that?

Hey When Parts Start Fallin off my Current Vehicle, I just trade it in for a new model. Besides, once a vehicle has 30+ years on it some of them parts might be purt neer wore out... That’s when I shop for a newer High Performance model,
wow.gif
yeah they tend to be a little twitchy in the handling department, and their CPU's are wired a bit funny sometimes, but man, their motors with that modern running gear are great and there is nothing like putting a nice fresh vehicle through it's paces. You know, when the suspension is nice and firm, they corner really well, they can take more hard use, newer materials mean they weigh less, their trunks are usually pretty free of extra baggage so cargo space is sufficient, and just about all the new models now come with ABS... Which can be handy if you get my meaning...
laugh.gif
He he...

OK OK.. I keep seeing this add for a New fuel additive that promises to basically rebuild your crank and make you feel all better about yourself. Sounds to me like they have their NASCAR audience properly pegged!!!

OK OK, My thing is if you just cannot get your charging system up to spec regardless of the condition of your chassis then there are some products that can help you. You just want to make sure that You have a Professional Mechanic take care of your issue. If your timing is off or your motor is running rough, get it checked out, and be sure to keep things running right by opening things up occasionally, 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week is usually good to keep your motor in proper working order.

You have to love what you drive, if you are truly in love, then it just doesn't matter what happens to that Bumper after College, or why it's hard to get it started up sometimes. I mean, sure you will always see that Brand new version sitting there looking all pretty, but we’re adults now and it's important to remember that we are in control of ourselves, and no matter how nice and sporty that little fast number may look, generally speaking all the hassles it is going to cause within a short period of time are not worth it.

Then you look at all the poor sorry assed modifieds out there. New Wings and plastic add-Ons... It's nasty, I mean it's like all they are doing is proving to the world that they got nothing under the hood and that they are being driven by an ####### who isn't taking proper care of em'. I see allot of them PLASTIC Fabrications down here and unless they were in an accident or something all the body-work and add ons do little to hide the broken down motor inside. So be careful when selecting a vehicle, you want something that has real substance. Not just Fancy Bodywork. Now I am not saying you have to buy a freaking F150 Club Cab because it's practical, but look for something that has great long term reliability, plenty of Engine management software, gets good mileage, has excellent performance characteristics, and has the potential to increase in value over time.

For instance, I'm driving a BMW M3, sure there are alot of other cars out there that offer more of this or that, but for classy sexy lines, LOW MAINTENENCE, High Value, excellent-nimble handling, responsiveness to proper inputs, lots of Computing power, comes with an exciting options package, and after all this time still loves to be driven hard! For me, it's unbeatable. Sure I still have an urge to take a New Bright Red Vette For a spin now and then, but it's a fleeting thought, I mean I look at the owners manual, and listen to the sound system for 5 minutes and I am bored off my ass, trying to figure out how SO MUCH BAGGAGE can fit in such small little car... Yeah I enjoy caressing the fenders, and maybe I even contemplate a test drive every now and then, but when I consider the long term gains they just aren't there. So what it really comes down to IMO is finding the right vehicle to go with you through life. Sure if we have kids I might upgrade to a BMW X5 for awhile and after words I'll have a BMW 545i instead of the M3 but the point is through it all the substance never changes, the trust, the love, the respect is what will carry you all the way through until you find yourself in the wrecking yard being parted out... As for keeping your own driveline up and running? It's a matter of use, keep that thing running and well tuned. Remember "If it rests, it rusts". So be certain to take it for frequent short spins just to insure that it is always in proper running order.

You manage to find the right combination and you’ll be happy for years and years. An occasional bit of Octane booster just for a hoot once in awhile can be entertaining, but almost all of the Additives I have ever come across have been mostly good for entertainment, not for long term use. If you start looking outside for quick fixes instead of investing the energy on actually working out the issues? Your Done…

We as a society have become over-medicated, chemicle addled drug recepticals......want better sex?
rock.gif
....make your wife know she is the center of your world, and show her how much she means to you. Works for me!

Not saying that I would be opposed to chemical help if I developed real physical troubles....but all this "enhancment" BS is getting old.

makes me think of THE SWAN shown on TV.
It makes me pucke just to think that the person next to you is not really (superficially) the person you see.
 
We as a society have become over-medicated, chemicle addled drug recepticals......
Yep!If ya got a problem,fine,but too many people are looking for an easy fix/easy way out.Too many MDs are willing to accomodate them.It's a shame it has become so socially acceptable,maybe even vogue.Seems like the majority just need to sprout a spine.This goes for other meds as well.
