George Takei ponders the fine line between Nascar and nudists

There's never been a terrorist attack at a Nascar race. Nascar fans are all armed. Draw your own conclusions

There's never been a terrorist attack at a nudist colony. Nudists aren't armed. They're nude. Draw your own conclusions.

Spot on as usual I will add this- It's typical faulty rethug thinking. Do they really think a SUICIDE terrorist would be worried about being killed?

Nor were they willing to lose half their teeth or dedicated enough to get the requisite beer gut, Earnhardt tattoo, or mullet to complete the ensemble.

They don't allow weapons. From their web site FAQ:

"No glass containers, strollers, umbrellas, motorized vehicles or weapons are allowed. We reserve the right to remove you from property owned, leased or operated by us, without refund, if your behavior is offensive or poses a hazard to others. Cooler policies may change prior to each event based upon local, state and national situations. NO items may be left at the gate. We reserve the right to search and inspect all persons. You must have a ticket, regardless of your age, in your possession at all times. If the event is postponed or rescheduled, this ticket will entitle you to admission on the rescheduled date for the event."

And still pondering why turning left all day is considered a sport?

At least golf is quiet, and doesn't smell like automobiles, people and bad beer!

Take your nose out of the air and learn a little about race strategy. It is as good a sport as any other.

I think that means I'm safer than everyone else. I can both bear arms and bare arms.

but you might run into some resistance if you try to enjoy them in person at the same time.

Reminds me of the old joke, "I don't mind nudity in the theater, but it sure makes it hard to get to your seat."

If he had, he'd know that most if not all NASCAR venues ban weapons of any kind.

Not long ago some folks here were citing Posobiec for a report that Hannity was about to be fired by Fox News. Maybe they now will recognize that he doesn't know shit and makes unfounded claims simply to get clicks.

but, I'm gonna call out bullshit when I hear it.

Flaming liberal NASCAR fan here. Stop shunning people because they happen to love motorsports.

I'm certain that there are closet NASCAR fans here.

Too bad that it has to be a woman to acknowledge it.

Even Michelle Obama and Jill Biden got boo'ed.

And, they were boo'ed by everyone... Republicans and Democrats, alike.

Then, again, I am also nonsensical, so I'm not sure why I responded either.
