Disclaimer Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Chopsticks recalled for "unspecified reasons"......The list goes on.Gawd! Everyone blows shit way out of proportion... that recall was based on ONE SINGLE COMPLAINT, and if Paulie had been using them properly, he wouldn't have got that splinter in his ass.

shittygsxr Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Did anybody here go to the autoshow in detriot?Quick summaryFord is going to revolutionize the automobile industry by using smaller displacement engines with turbochargers and direct injection. GM has there "electric concept" vehicle with estimated specs that are no where close to the specs of the Tessla vehicle sitting just a couple feet away.Nissan rented a decent sized space and left it completely empty, they didnt bother to even have a dealer bring a couple of cars from inventory to sit there.Then there was a true sign of things to come, a wakeup call if you will. Some car brand that I never heard of, BYD next to the empty nissan area. I hear someone make a comment about the engine layout and out of no where like a ninja, a really smart asian guy takes the time to explain the reason behind the design. So BYD actually took the effort to send engineers half way around the world to see what the american public thought about their cars. While GM, Ford and Chrystler got a bunch of skanky looking broads to stand next to theirs. American manufactures have a piss poor busness model and have completely 100% lost touch with their customer base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Tainted dog food.....I hate most dogsLead based paint on everything, including children's toys.....I like lead, it's a useful element.High sulfur content in drywall causing homes to be destroyed and people to get sick.........I like sulfer, it's good for starting fires. A/C adapters recalled because they started fires........Batteries recalled because they started fires............I like fire...Chopsticks recalled for "unspecified reasons"...... @ JustinBaby bottles recalled for lead in the cap......Okay, I get it, there is lead in china...unless you get lead injected into your body in fairly high concentrations, it's probably not going to bother you...just saying. It's lead, a natually occouring element, it's not like it's radioactive material, or mustard gas...relaxIt's a car, it's supposed to be driven, not eaten.

It's lead, a natually occouring element, it's not like it's radioactive material, or mustard gas...relaxdude, lead can be absorbed in a lot of ways. Anyone remember leaded gas until they realized they were killing everyone because lead can be inhaled and absorbed very easily? The whole chaos surrounding the lead levels in fish in certain parts of the world? Lead is easily absorbed, but it isn't easily taken out of the body, as is the case with all heavy metals. They are fat soluble, and as such, hide in the linings of cell membranes and the body doesn't remove them at a blindingly quick pace. That's how slow buildup will damage (or kill) you. Some key heavy metals are easy to get in small amounts, and it's well documented that small amounts of lead can be seriously harmful to your body. Any 'ol human physiology book will tell you that, or any quick search on Google....It's a car, it's supposed to be driven, not eaten.you weren't supposed to eat leaded gas, but it sure as hell got in your body until they stopped using it.

magley64 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm not going to argue with you, but lead doesn't scare me...period.It's a little more concerning when it's travelling at hundreds of feet per second, but the metal itself...not scary.

magley64 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 My life is full of risks.lead poisoning is LOW on the list of potential causes of death.I'd say I'm more likely to overdose on caffiene and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Right over their heads.and each and every month my retirement compensation (23.81%) goes into foreign stocks. If a chineese based company is going to take over the world that is fine by me as long as I get my dividend check.I think that Warren Buffet guy believes in BYD, since he just recently bought 10% of the company. I cant wait till the day I can afford some berkshire hathaway stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
