  1. +1 Though, maybe posted in the wrong thread? EDIT: Nevermind, saw the title of the post. I'd happily pay MUCH more to renew my license if they would actually TEST people and deny a license to those that fail it.
  2. Problem with the geology in this area.. It's really flat. You can be clear of any traffic and a cop can still see you hooning around from a mile out.
  3. Hence why I don't play online, or only with people I know.
  4. The drunk wasn't legal to get behind the wheel in the first place. This is just a harmless fun/venting thread anyways. I was a little miffed when I wrote it because a cop was upset at me for swinging my tail wide when the worst that could have happened was I'd ride up on a curb.
  5. I'll call it the Nurburgring Law: If there's noone around to endanger, or buildings that your car may strike, you can do whatever the hell you want. However, if you have an accident, you are responsible for paying for all damages to public and private property plus time and expenses for all emergency crew. Deal?
  6. Very good. Though I have to say.. Doesn't the father look like Chuck Norris' little brother?
  7. That would be like someone hacking NORAD to gain control of your TV in order to make your fridge warm up.
  8. Got behind a huge line of people going 25 on riverside, so I hooked a U though one of the pull-offs that was probably a foot deep. Just kept my foot in it and blasted though. I LOVE my Subaru.
  9. I doubt he was going a legal speed. Those roads look pretty dry too. I think he was hauling ass in his new Camaro, enjoying the first nice day in a while. Mythbusters couldn't do that at 70mph using a knife-edged snowplow unless they pulled the engine out of the car. So either the driver was speeding, or the new Camaros are deathtraps.
  10. Had two units, never had a RROD. (First one was given to a friend when I upgraded to an Elite) HD-DVD works great. When Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD I picked up a stack of HD-DVD movies at Best Buy for 70% off and still watch them. I watch new Blu-Ray movies in my PS3; which is about all it does. I have two games for PS3, the rest play on my 360.
  11. Like trying to fit a dead hooker into the trunk of a Miata.
  12. GT3 and GT4 were disappointments. GT5 will need to be really good. As for F3 or GT5, frankly, there's more going on physics-wise in F3 than it seemed like in the GT5:P. So unless the full game ramps up the physics, I'm going to have to give it to Forza 3. I'll still own both though. I'm that kind of whore.
  13. Sweet. I love the "I'll tear your limbs off like a GI Joe action figure!" attitude of it.
  14. Cook Shack. Though there's a place near GrandView that a friend calls "Ghetto BBQ" that is supposedly REALLY good.
  15. What's crazy is that they're highly sought after for trail riding. Go fig.
  16. I don't think it'd be too difficult to put a wheelchair rack on the OCC Trike. Also, the design above could have been made to look better too. It practically advertises that the rider is handicapped.
  17. We can disagree on other things.. Like owning a FWD car? Sheesh.. Didn't know this was one of "The Discussions" beyond :thumbup:. Nothing wrong with that. It's when people teach their kids to hate and ostracize those who are different that it puts my teeth on edge. And the polar opposite where parents try to keep their kids from learning anything about something like this is equally distasteful IMO. Kids need a foundation to work from, but not one built from hate.
  18. It's a perceptual thing I guess. Because I can see 1 in 10 being attracted to the same sex to some degree. *shrug* It's not something that can ever be verified. Too many who would count will say no, and even some that wouldn't might say yes. Then Auto Insurance ads promote crashing. I think we're in the shitter for reasons not related to morality, but that's for another discussion. I'm going to assume there's a "not" missing from the first sentence there. Out of curiosity, and be honest here, would we be having this discussion if it was two hot chicks in that add? Again, I don't see this promoting being gay any more than Auto Insurance ads promote getting into accidents. The ad doesn't say "Come be Gay with us!" It says "If you're gay and looking for someone else, come to our website." As for majority, that's questionable and unverifyable. But then, points like that are what discussions like this are based on. I don't know what age your kids are. But you will have to explain this stuff to them sooner or later. We're in an information age. Education and guidance can act as filters on the information they encounter. Better to give them a foundation to build ideas from rather than letting them make their own and trying to repair it later. Though I don't agree with your views, I'm not saying you can't teach them to your kids. I'm just saying that you need to start explaining things to them earlier these days because the information is out there and it's easier to find than it was in the past. Homosexuals have existed since the dawn of time. I could ask that you refrain from teaching them Hate. But ultimately, they're your kids, so I'm not going to tell you how to raise them. Doesn't change that they do feel that way. Do you get upset about Autism Awareness stickers? I find it curious how discussions of homosexuality are always steered to this argument by the opponent. Last time I checked, animals weren't sentient beings who could offer consent. Are you familiar with the Greater Internet Fuckwad theory? http://www.everyjoe.com/thegadgetblog/files/2008/11/greater-internet-fuckwad-theory.jpg Same thing with Religion. Except that Religion gives people Moral Anonymity. "My religion says it's OK, so I'm right." I can imagine both a moral-less future, and one ruled by a religious morality. And BOTH are Hell on Earth.
