Yes... because you don\'t know how to act ecologically. The US is the most oil wasting country worldwide.

But it\'s not the fault of one person, but of your system of selfishness.

You are biast, ignorant, arrogant and a bit racistic. Why can\'t you accept, that there is more than Bush and the US ? i don\'t "hate" america, nore do I hate china, afganistan or any other country. What I hate are things like the ones I\'ve posted here. But one can change - please try.

I LOL\'d at this. George Bush (Satan to you) stated, in regards to the hike in gas prices at the pump, if you don\'t like it, don\'t drive. That\'s life. Live with it. But when the Chinese government issues sanctions to ensure that their oil prices are ALWAYS constant in a nation that is quickly becoming the number 1 consumer of crude oil, I don\'t see your posts ripping them.

Alright, I\'ll be back later, going to drive up and down our freeways in a rented Hummer for no reason while eating heaps and gobs of greasy fast food and swallowing it all down with a high calorie drink before returning to my home, blasting the AC and heat to full to balance each other out, unbuckling my pants so my fat gut can hang out while watching 300 channels of crap on my 60" HDTV. I hope life is just as fun for you!

That was like what? 10 years ago

China produces the most goods in the world now, our country is now being de-industrialized my friend. You can thank our politicians that have sold our best interests out for money/power.

China GDP: $7.262 trillion
US GDP: $11.75 trillion

Post by: Titan on September 06, 2005, 07:12:59 AM: EYE, we don\'t waste oil. We use just as much as any other country. Plus, what is great about this country is we have the freedom to buy whatever automobile we want. If someone wants an SUV, let them. Its thier money for gas. They know how much gas it uses and if they want one still, the power to them to get one. I drive a V8 T-bird and that gets about 17-18 mpg. I have to refill every 280 miles. I know what I was getting myself into and I decided to buy it anyway. But most of us are not just driving around the country just wasting gas. We are actually using it for something.

Post by: Coredweller on September 06, 2005, 02:57:46 PM: I gave $50 through my company\'s disaster relief fund, and the company matches all donations. The money goes primarily to assist employees of my firm who worked in our New Orleans office. If there is any surplus, it will be given to the Red Cross or other such organizations.

We just received a voicemail message over the weekend indicating that all our employees have been accounted for.

No problem LIC :p I\'m just making the point that we have the freedom to choose what vehicle we want to drive despite the gas prices. The people know that an SUV gets shit milage and they need to deal with it. They don\'t drive any more than someone with a hybrid and that\'s my point.

Point is moot. Because, by that, an SUV is goin\' to go thru more gas. Has nothing to do with "freedom". It\'s more the American pissing-contest. Joe Blow has a big truck, so Fred Blow has to have a Hummer.

Post by: THX on September 06, 2005, 06:31:38 PM: Just curious, if the Hummer was a hybrid that got 30mpg would you still have as much hate for it?

I think just the sheer size of it makes it a nuisance on the road. If you need to haul that much stuff get a real truck instead.

I think the reason most people hate it, is because that it is now the standard for "bling-bling". Me, personally, I could care less. I never see them where I live.

Your point, being? If he can afford it, what does it matter? Would it make a difference if he was OUT of school and driving a V8? I know you must have a point, I just fail to see it.. Does he waste more gas in school somehow? What exactly IS your point?

And that\'d be called having the freedom to waste. You\'re using a needlessly more amount of gas to cover the same distance. I know it\'s your money, but a waste is a waste.

EDIT: Oh wait, LIC already pointed this out. My bad,
