  12. i know only legends of "tod the black". will you tell us about him? for example: is it really true that when black tod put his bbd in a box, he needs a gaylord? is it really true that when black tod gets a flat tire, he whips out his spare and gives his wheel a mushroom tattoo that is good for at least fitty five? if there was only one glass of tang, and one glass of grape drank left in the world, and he could only pick one, which would he pick? i'll think of moar later.
  13. i'll fuck anything also, gang bang?
  14. My only point has been (regarding our current line of discussion) that there are tangible effects of the principles of a free market. So, other than recessions and economic up/downs (since ALL of the market is subject to it), for Q1 of 2010, the great Toyota suffered from lost sales and market share in a way they've never seen before... I mean, when was the last time Toyota was down when everyone else was up? Probably never. So, even if it WAS only for a quarter... that IS significant. Temporary, but significant. They are, but it muddies the waters, and besides, that would only help my case anyway. After several years have passed and the cases are decided/settled, the total losses for toyota will be much higher than what it is now. Will anyone at Toyota get shot as a result of the court decisions? probably not. Is that right or not? I don't know, but especially with criminal cases, that gets away from economic theory/systems. re: your shopping habits, i dunno, maybe you just really like getting the same thing over and over again. Haven't you been eating the same thing for lunch for like a year? You disgust me. I'm telling my kitchen aid to make my sammich out of something other than conklin's products. She might fail, but I'll at least do some basic research into who sells what. Some people will do this, some people won't. re: the law, gov. and, economy. of course they are synergistic (everything affects everything and all that), but when discussing economic systems, one keeps to economic systems and not go all over the place. this discussion would have no direction if we couldn't keep it to a singular topic. and you've pointed out exactly why legal theory doesn't necessarily jive with economic theory. In some respects, I agree with you that big companies get away with a lot of things the normal populace would probably never get away with, but you can say that about government and the church, and many other things that have a lot of influence. it comes with the territory. Is it right? No. But I hope these guys get what's due in court.... and punitive measures when it comes to personal injury and the like, that's where it belongs. As for did their shares drop enough, or did they lose enough sales or market share? I dunno. But I don't want to be the one to tell people it is or isn't... they should decide. not another czar or another branch of the gov. if people say fuck it, toyota is a good deal right now, they'll buy one, that is their choice. i'm not for forcing them to buy a hyundai or GM instead. Although, hyundai are so much betterer than japperwockies.

    i think roamr wanted to ride sat.
  16. no, i'm wide awake for that part. gotta aim, dontcha know.
  17. that's why i just nap during the highway portion
  18. if you can't distinguish between when the market or even a specific industry as a whole is hostile versus a specific company suffering from negative press/"fucking up really bad" then we've got more problems than just not seeing eye to eye. Of course there is a difference, and of course negative market reaction is just a little bit different than a shitty economy. why does this need to be explained? re: the numbers you present. they show nothing more than the fact that the automotive industry is rallying. and minus the recall, toyota has set the standard for how to make cars for the masses, and it shows... people buy their cars. this isn't like a brand new economic idea, where one company gets more sales if they're better at something. addressed 2 para. down yeah, i'm not a detail guy. toyota's number 1, but i'm sure they've been tradin' paint for a while. I thought we discussed this up already... are you thinking that the economic reaction should somehow also encompass the loss of life/injury and any criminal charges (as in, are you mixing legal matters with economic and government)? If that's what you're thinking, we need to clear that up because we're speaking strictly as a consumer economic reaction, NOT criminal or civil legal action. Any people who were injured or family members killed will take up their dispute in court as well as any criminal matters. There is a whole different forum for that sort of "punishment" to take place... it's called the courthouse. don't confuse "economic punishment" with "legal damages". I'm guessing that the civil suits alone will greatly outweigh any fines set by the gov. or loss in sales in the short term. Not sure if any criminal negligence took place, so who knows where that will go. I address this in the above paragraph. you can't keep mixing up legal and economic matters.
  19. repost! (yes, that was a birthday joke) happy bday you penis
  20. the way I see it, what it comes down to is: for a company that exists for the sake of profit, you believe that even a short term drop in sales and market share isn't punishment, and I do. I believe that the fact that the drop is short term doesn't refute the probably tens of millions lost that otherwise would've been gained due to consumers is a punishment for a company... because that's the point of their existence (to make money). And that's just speaking short term. as far as toyota beating GM and Ford... that's been happening for like the past decade, mostly due to the incompetence of GM/Ford and Toyota not screwing it up too bad (until more recently). The strong response by Toyota to regain consumer confidence (huge surge in marketing, unprecedented incentives for a japanese car co) reflects well on toyota's marketing, not poorly on the market's ability to react to offenses by companies. and it's always fun thread jacking.
  21. oh and sorry to the haters. justin hasn't had anyone to play with, so i'm filling in til pauly realizes how much he hates his shiny new FZ6
  22. are you seriously comparing sales figures in the tail end of the perhaps the worst "recession" since the 50's and 80's to recovery of late 2009~ beginning 2010 when anything is an improvement? i think you're the one being a bit shortsighted here. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-02/toyota-u-s-sales-fall-16-after-recall-as-gm-ford-post-gains.html seriously, you know better than that.
  23. we've been avoiding you. sry. i actually would've liked to have been riding this weekend around cbus, but i think i might've hurt my back or something.
