Why?

It started a few years ago. In 1773, Britain's East India Company was sitting on large stocks of tea that it could not sell in England. It was on the verge of bankruptcy. In an effort to save it, the government passed the Tea Act of 1773, which gave the company the right to export its merchandise directly to the colonies without paying any of the regular taxes that were imposed on the colonial merchants, who had traditionally served as the middlemen in such transactions. With these privileges, the company could undersell American merchants and monopolize the colonial tea trade. The act proved inflammatory for several reasons. First, it angered influential colonial merchants, who feared being replaced and bankrupted by a powerful monopoly. The East India Company's decision to grant franchises to certain American merchants for the sale of their tea created further resentments among those excluded from this lucrative trade. More important, however, the Tea Act revived American passions about the issue of taxation without representation. The law provided no new tax on tea. Lord North assumed that most colonists would welcome the new law because it would reduce the price of tea to consumers by removing the middlemen. But the colonists responded by boycotting tea. Unlike earlier protests, this boycott mobilized large segments of the population. It also helped link the colonies together in a common experience of mass popular protest. Particularly important to the movement were the activities of colonial women, who were one of the principal consumers of tea and now became the leaders of the effort to the boycott.

Various colonies made plans to prevent the East India Company from landing its cargoes in colonial ports. In ports other than Boston, agents of the company were "persuaded" to resign, and new shipments of tea were either returned to England or warehoused. In Boston, the agents refused to resign and, with the support of the royal governor, preparations were made to land incoming cargoes regardless of opposition. After failing to turn back the three ships in the harbor, local patriots led by Samuel Adams staged a spectacular drama. On the evening of December 16, 1773, three companies of fifty men each, masquerading as Mohawk Indians, passed through a tremendous crowd of spectators, went aboard the three ships, broke open the tea chests, and heaved them into the harbor.As the electrifying news of the Boston "tea party" spread, other seaports followed the example and staged similar acts of resistance of their own.'

When the Bostonians refused to pay for the property they had destroyed, George III and Lord North decided on a policy of coercion, to be applied only against Massachusetts, the socalled Coercive Acts. In these four acts of 1774, Parliament closed the port of Boston, drastically reduced the powers of selfgovernment in the colony, permitted royal officers to be tried in other colonies or in England when accused of crimes, and provided for the quartering of troops in the colonists' barns and empty houses. The acts sparked new resistance up and down the coast, thus causing pocket bikes to be banned in several coastal states. Later, QD.

O RLY? If they had pocket bikes back then, they had gasoline-powered motors, since all pocket bikes use gasoline-powered motors.

AND IF they did have gasoline-powered motors, why did it take them so long (130 years) to make the jump from gasoline-powered pocket bikes to gasoline-powered cars, first built by Henry Ford in 1903?

and thus the atlanta braves were formed where they went on to beat the yankees in 1776 which started a rivalry between the north and the south.

shortly there after General Lee raided a federal armory where they were storing pocket bikes, Chipper Jones was injured badly after taking a nasty spill from one of the stolen pocket bikes.

after the slaves were freed they decided the bikes were too dangerous and banned them, making our country live happily ever after w/ no pocket bikes to harm the public

Henry Ford came up with the assembly line, not the engine

[Mr_Mischif]

Yeah I know, but why would it have taken 130 years for Henry Ford to say "Hey, why don't I put one of those gas-powered pocketbike motors in a car, see what happens?"

Edi: oops, I meant to say gas-powered cars.

[quickdodge®]

why did it take them so long (130 years) to make the jump from gasoline-powered pocket bikes to gasoline-powered motors, first built by Henry Ford in 1903?

Because Henry Ford dredged up the idea of an assembly line. So it took about 110 years for Ford to be born so he could invent it. Goddamn people. Didn't you guys have history class when you were in school? Later, QD.

You're not looking hard enough, then. Just last night and this morning, there were several examples of this "assholedness" that you post of. My response was not "assholedness," either. It was just an extended version of why pocket bikes are not allowed in GA anymore. Later, QD.

[GIXXERDK]

[TheSnail]

What if you started smuggling pocket bikes into GA from neighboring states? Would it be a federal offence? lol Would you get 10-15yrs for crossing statelines with a pocket bike?

Prisoner- Whatcha in here for?
You- Got caught with 45,000 grams of pocket bike.
Prisoner- Damn that's alot of grams! WTF is pocket bike?
You- Thats that new shit.
