    Well, something tells me that the US will definitely meet it's quota of Irish immigrants this year. Not the we don't have our own issues, but anyone even attempting to pass such a bill in the US would be met by fierce protests, and rightfully so. If I wanna talk shit about your religion, I have the right to do so, and you have the right to talk shit about my religion (even though my religion could totally whoop your religions ass and then bust a cap in it's knees) Oh wait, forgot, I took a trip to Ireland, who's at the door no$#*!~ -NO CONNECTION-

    It's not religion you can't stand, it's those engaging in it's practice who are narrow minded and do not have the sense to understand that it takes the free will of someone deciding that they want to practice and worship within that religion making the decision to do so, rather than somehow being able to pitch god (or any other deity) like a ShamWow. As someone of christian faith, I'd gladly talk to anyone who had questions about my beliefs or about the religion I practice. But I'm not going to go all Billy Mays (RIP Billy) and start trying to sell him to people. That's the easiest way to turn off someone that might be the slightest bit interested in any given religion, anyways. I'd much rather someone ask me to tell them about my religion than to go beat down their doors throwing it at them like a monkey throwing poop.

    Good thing America doesn't actually make anything anymore, nothing to have boycotted by other countries other than beef jerky, F-22's, and the NFL, and I'd rather we keep those three things to ourselves anyways.

    Trust me, it worked. It's hard to describe why exactly, except that the lights chaining backwards amongst drivers tended to travel faster than people slamming on brakes. It is a habit developed by drivers over there, and so it is second nature and they don't really have to think about it.

    Hazard lights are actually a great thing when it's downpouring. Drizzling? Nope. But when it's a torrential downpour, it makes seeing people possible. That being said, the Germans have an awesome use for the hazard lights that people don't seem to pick up on here. In Germany, if you need to slam on brakes due to an upcoming hazard, quickly flashing your hazard lights and then turning them off lets the person behind you know that you are about to slam on your brakes, and they do likewise for the person behind them. When we lived in Germany, I saw a lot of pileups avoided on the Autobahn because of the skilled drivers there and tactics such as this.

    I do read (although I'm not going to read that novelette you just posted, try to condense it down next time as it's as convoluted and time consuming as your "system"). The problem is, you believe that someone driving along AT THE SPEED LIMIT causes crashes. You are a fucking idiot if this is what you honestly believe. The tools changing lanes every ten seconds and wearing out the carpet under the accelerator while driving wreckless are the people who cause accidents, along with the tools who are oblivious to the world around them while they drive.

    There really is no reason to drive faster. Driving faster does not prevent accidents. Exceeding the speed limit can be exciting, it can seem necessary at times even (when people are running late because they do not give themselves enough time to get to where they need to go), but don't go shoveling this shit about how people who observe the speed limits cause wrecks. People with their heads up their fucking accidents cause wrecks you tool.

    People like that are why my father has Fibromyalgia. This stupid bitch pulls out of Taco Bell with her face stuffed with Burrito while crossing four lanes of traffic including a median, and plows into my father, who is doing the speed limit but never sees her coming BECAUSE SHE CROSSED FOUR FUCKING LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE EATING A FUCKING BURRITO. By your logic, my father caused that accident because he was supposedly oblivious to what was happening, when in fact the traffic was so heavy in that area that you cannot see people crossing the median until it is too late unless they do the smart thing and stop at the median to check for oncoming traffic.

    I have an idea for you. Go fuck yourself.

    I forgot to mention the fact that your idea that driving faster helps avoid accidents is moronic. People who drive fast with the flow of traffic but have no clue how to predict and adapt to the changes in traffic are what generally cause accidents. The better idea is to "drive with purpose." In other words, when you make a decision on the road, make it decisively and quickly, and then stick with it. I can't tell you how many people I've seen cause accidents because they decide to pull into another lane or pull out onto a road and then panic when things go back and just...do nothing. They sit there and get plowed into. When you make a decision, stick with it, and drive with purpose rather than panicking, you are much less likely to be involved in an accident. Is there 100% guarantee? Nope, never is. But you can put yourself further up the bell curve depicting people who avoid accidents by not being a retard.

    No, because you spent 5 minutes scanning everyone and predicting exactly what they would do. I just assumed they'd do the worst thing imaginable and thus saved that five minutes for something more useful, like traffic signs and stop lights.

    Having worked for a bank before, I can guarantee you that a charge back is not foolproof. The company can dispute the charge back and if they can reasonably prove that you received the product in question and that they made every effort to exchange said product, the bank will cancel the charge back.
