  1. Re:Not sure about other places but the US has... on Flying Car Flies From London To Africa · · Score: 1

    The idea is that they're free to pass on most of it, but the kids ought not to be set up for life and for generations to come. That's how hereditary aristocracies come about, and in this country I think we've decided that those are bad. I have nothing against parents leaving a nest egg for their descendants.

    I can just imagine an idiot living in a dome lighting a tire, quickly becoming obscured by the smoke as they collapse. Sounds good to me!

    Better they be born straight than be forced into it against their natural inclinations, which the parents would surely try to do if they cared so much as to genetically select for it.

    Not if your net worth is below something like $5,000,000. Those poor multi-millionaires!

    Sure, that's what they want you to think. Really, the laser is there for popping holes in the Chinese Mars base that they don't want you to know about. Wake up sheeple!

    And the diff between Nobama and McSame was.....what exactly? I mean seriously, give me a break. They are two sides of the same coin. All you are picking is Coke VS Pepsi anymore.

    Fuck off. It was that kind of talk that got us W in 2000.

    If he were alive, we'd applaud him on his undoubtedly correct use of the subjunctive voice.

    It has a higher Cd than some cars because of all the silly suspension struts and so on, and sensible features like doors and wing mirrors.

    As far as I know, there are no production cars with a lower Cd than the Aptera.

    Your words would mean a lot more if red states didn't still take more federal aid dollars than they paid out in taxes. They consistently leech money off the blue states.
