  1. new or used doesnt matter theres good money to the dealers in finace

    Keeping the man down by having him owe money to everyone has become the American way. Soory, I'm not going to fall for it! Looks like I'm going to be riding cheap, or old bikes until I can save some money.....

  2. I negged you for plussing Justin. That fucking wanker... :nono:

    :D IP like to neg rep people for pos repping others, I forgot all about that! It is nice that you don't have to bother signing it now, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm not getting eSand in my eVag over it! :lol:

    (Pauly signed all the neg rep he's given me, for the record...)

  3. I wonder if people will be bigger "e-dicks" now that you can see who leaves you negative rep. Kind of like a "go ahead, neg rep me.. I dare you, now I can see who did it" sort of thing. Anonymous neg rep was almost like a silent enforcer of "don't be a douche". Although it would allow other people to be "douches" in leave said neg rep

    I'll have no problem with leaving neg rep. I don't think I'v eleft more than one or 2 neg anyway, and it was mainly in fun, in reutrn for a funny neg rep received by me.....

  4. I heard china is buying up all that Gold now too...

    I say F the UAE and lets switch over completely to ethanol like brazil

    Brazilian ethanol isn't made from corn, as most people seem to think is how we need to produce it here in the US. Also, as has already been posted, moisture and separation issues need to be considered.

  5. :lol: @ thinking KSU students are intellectuals. You'd be lucky to find a current student that can spell 'intellectual'.

    Kent read, Kent write, Kent State. :D

    :p Calm down KSU folks, I'm just hating a lil bit - you can hate on my school too, if you'd ever heard of it.

    No need, they'll just hate on you....

    What school is that, the school of :postwhore:

    The school of :flingpoo:

    Or :bigfinger: University?

  6. I hear retards say it all the time. Usually at my local Chipotle' date=' which happens to be smack in the middle of the KSU community. Intellectuals.. whatevs. :rolleyes:[/quote']

    And there's no way you can just not go into Chipotle! :rulez:

    I guess you just have to sacrifice hearing that BS for getting some good food....

  7. "Out There TV" - looked like a low-budget infomercial to me. I've seen higher quality home videos for christ's sake.

    Are you fucking kidding me? You bring Lindsay Williams, a baptist preacher, who was a "volunteer missionary" in Alaska in 1971 as an authority?

    Where do you get the rest of your information? The Daily Show?

    What do you bring to the discussion?

  8. As was already said, the gold standard has been long gone.

    If you're relating the price of a gallon of gasoline to the "high" cost of oil, you probably need to re-evaluate your position. There's almost as much in tax on a gallon of gas as there is in gas itself (well, not quite, but you get the idea)

    Taxes suck.

    If you're relating the speculative market causing the increase in price I can assure you that the price will fluctuate regardless of what currency oil is traded in. To add insult to injury the way the dollar has been performing against other currencies the change will only cause our prices to go even higher because of our reduced buying power.

    Yet they keep printing more dollars, to "buy back" our debt. A whole other topic.

    Before you fuck the UAE, take a look at where the vast majority of the crude we use comes from - it might surprise you. When you've found that information, please tell me how many arab countries are in the top 10.

    Information available on the DOE website.

    There are a lot of other reasons besides efficiency that we couldn't go all ethanol. Corn prices would surge, causing increases at the grocery store. I remember something about condensation issues and other problems in northern climates. I dont remember the details, but that was one of the reasons they tried the ethanol blends way back when most of you folks were still shitting your britches.

    A couple MPG isn't the issue. It's more than a couple MPG anyway. Ethanol is only 80% as efficient as gasoline. Ethanol would be bad for many of the older vehicles on the road, and by older, I mean older than about 2002-2004 era. There are a lot of cars out there that would not run well on ethanol, and ethanol would probably cause damage to.

    Not to mention that it takes more energy to produce ethanol than you can get out of it. Then the already mentioned food prices, etc.....

  9. Any further explanation of your opinions here, or are you both blowing hot air again??

    Nope, not hot air. I'll have to look up the details, but it's not a good thing that the dollar is involved in oil pricing, and we're now seeing why.

    The price of oil was based on the GOLD standard before.
