    I'm pretty sure an important part of the emergency is looking in the rear view mirror. You should try it.

    Why don't you get your arrogant arse out on the road in rush hour traffic for a few months then come back with your opinion. At the very least it would be "You've got to be f#cking careful out there".

  3. Re:research contradicts Forester and you on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 1

    It should be fairly obvious to anyone besides the person you are responding to that the cyclist is going to be a lot more cautious, you don't really have the option when any accident can mean serious injury or death. The drivers are generally careless and indifferent, I find a sharp tap on the car reminds them their box isn't as indestructible as they might think...

    It's disingenous to suggest a gun control measure that affects a tiny part of an open country is indicative of any likely result of any future legislation that affects the whole of the nation. Where is the evidence of this sharp rise, where is proof of the correlation? The figures I see are totally inconclusive.

  7. Re:Red state on Would-Be Tesla Owners Jump Through Hoops To Skirt Wacky Texas Rules · · Score: 1

    Nothing concrete in any of that, all spurious logic conveyed as fact. "More burglaries occur when someone is in the house " because of gun control? Baseless fearmongering.

    Only an idiot could fail to realise that the vast amount of work involved in transitioning the economy to a new type of sustainable power would in fact provide an enormous amount of growth. You know from jobs? Not imaginary growth that only benefits a few billionaire assholes.

    What the hell are you talking about? Learn how to compose a sentence without running on. Did they earn money from my thievery?

    I'll tell you what's greedy, millionaires who think they are entitled to live in a society without contributing to it. People who would watch (well allow, heaven forbid they should actually see it) people to live in poverty because they think they "earned" their money. Did Robert Downey Junior really do enough when he made Avengers Assemble to earn $50 million? Were those few months of leisurely filming worth more than the lifetime output 50 people?No, there are gross distortions in the rewards people earn, the tax system exists to help level out this rampant stupidity.
