  1. The automatic on my c 2011 mitsubishi lets me start in second gear. The only real advantage I can see of a manual transmission is the ability to change gears non-sequentially, but of course it has myriad drawbacks compared to a slushbucket.

    Yeah, look, "success" is putting your ass in a jungle re-education camp, so i reckon it won't be too difficult.

    Yeah look i hear what you are saying, but the reality is that you and the rest of the "white race" are doomed to extinction as we interbreed you out of existence.

    Basically, what we're going to do, once we take over the show, which will be soon, is establish a new camp white-ray at Guantanamo Bay and put all the traitors and anti-american Trump-voting filth like you in there for a very long time.

    Enjoy the show.

    The only thing I "keep claiming" is that you will one day grow up. This is self evidently true, assuming your anger doesn't get the better of you in the meantime.

    It's not messed up. Well, not always. When you talk about intent, you're confusing conviction and sentencing.

    Consider drink driving. If you get pulled over and blow over the limit, it's not exactly crime of the century. If you're drunk and you run over a pedestrian, it's a far more serious matter. Having said that, there are plenty of examples of habitual drunk drivers receiving custodial sentences, while a first time offender who runs someone over escapes jail.

    Sentencing has to consider culpability, the prospect of rehabilitation, the rights of the victims, the need to protect society, and a range of other factors. It's not uncommon for an attempted murder to attract a more severe punishment than an actual murder.
