Quote from 5haz :Dangerous thing to say, I thought if you running for an election your supposed to say what your voters want to hear, regardless of what you want to do.

QFT! Sad that no one here seems to understand this.

There was a guy (username: Detail) here from there I believe. He likes big Dakar trucks. Haven't seen him around in a while.

I present the Sausage Creature.

Got rid of the bikini fairing and the jackrabbit ear mirrors (got some Rizoma Reverse Retros instead). Must lose the hot dog tray & behemoth cans eventually...

Quote from Shotglass :do you honestly believe that a ceo or hamilton works 500 times harder than a nurse?

Of course not, but they still pay their medical bills and health insurance companies.

If it doesn't pay off to be rich, who is going to want to try and get rich? If no one cares about financial success, everyone is going to be lazy and no progress is going to be made.

Also:

There is a limit to how much CEOs can "exploit and dominate." When CEOs ask for too much money, their company obviously isn't going to be as successful.

and that doesnt include their ridiculous severance packets

Yeah, but they don't just hoard their money in the basement--and it's not just mansions cars and paintings they buy. Everything from groceries to sports tickets to animals to LFS--it all goes back to the economy somehow. If they don't buy it themselves, they pay someone else to buy it for them at an additional expense.

And everyone who works for rich people, well, it's voluntary. No one else is capable of offering them a better deal.

It's not just CEOs who are rich, either. What about members of the entertainment industry? sports stars? There are people of almost all classes who buy tickets regularly.

Wealth isn't a black hole where the money vanishes. To the contrary: it moves faster through their hands whence it came.

What's the matter with people being rich, anyway? they still spend their money. Someone had to build their mansions (and Porsches) and paint their portraits... since all the money rich people have ends up in the hands of not-so-rich people sooner or later, what is the difference between taxing the rich and taxing the poor?

Most of you seem to subscribe to a very Marxist perspective. What makes you think the government can do better with tax dollars than privately owned, competitive companies can do with their own money?

Quote from Krane :Yeah, there's mitigating factors behind it, but still if he'd call anyone - no matter how evil - a 'nígger' would he get away with it? On the last debate he only barely didn't say that, he called Obama 'that one'.

You got it backwards. Do you think a 19th century black slave would be criticized today for having called his white oppressors names?

No: having the appropriate personal and historical context would afford him the right to speak that way.

What we have is an historical individual who was personally affected by that small group of people he made reference to.

When the day you are abused the way they were comes, then you can invent your own derogatory terminology. Just don't use it on anyone who didn't senselessly torture you.

Finally, one I already knew.

Too bad they stopped giving a point for fastest lap. They really ought to.

I thought everyone thought the cars rev too high? Where are all the "cars rev too high!" improvement suggestion threads?

They're old cars in LFS, anyway.

Doesn't it scare anyone that "revolutionary" Obama supporters liken him to marxist Che? I guess they would like the country to turn into Cuba Jr.

Quote from Bob Smith :Something about the front has hints of Miura in it. Maybe the louvres?

I actually found it by googling Miura. But then there's the new Miura concept as well... maybe this is a new, new Miura concept? Oh well. I like all Miuras. But I'm biased

Quote from batteryy :if interested, he used walther P228 pistol. and no, he didnt survive, he died in a hospital

Survived long enough to get to a hospital... I'm surviving long enough to get to a hospital right now! They probably wanted to kill him with their bare hands—wouldn't you?

IF he used the SIG: a .40 or .357 or even 9x19 would have made more than one hole in his cranial vault.
