Some many years ago, well,32 years ago, I got to drive an F1 car.

Maybe I’m just too immature (Almost assuredly the case), but I love stupid things like this. I’d rather someone show off their lifted truck and silly butterfly doors and anything else they did and have fun, rather than say “no, you should only modify vehicles in this way or that way”.

We’re bringing up materials because you’re talking about how older cars had stronger body panels. That’s one point which we’re absolutely right. Older cars had very thick steel.

This is an excellent idea. Those GMC motorhomes that were all so damn underpowered would truly benefit from something like this. Imagine something like this, with JUICE!

....because a junkyard LS is like $300?

That is....quite simply, the WORST looking minivan I have ever seen.

For real? My god, man...

This Reatta:

Remember when concept cars would be unveiled and we all thought “man, what a bummer that the production version probably won’t look anything like that?”

Dude helping single mothers was not what destroyed the nuclear family. The idea of the nuclear family was always a pipe dream and it led to millions of unhappy and abusive marriages because people were afraid of the social stigma of deviating from the propaganda that everyone was fed. It’s still not more financially

Taxes are objectively good. regardless of whether your a liberal or conservative. The fundamental idea leverages power in numbers. How much would your roads, sewers, police, EMT, power lines, education, healthcare, defense, etc all cost if everyone had to purchase them individually, or in small groups? The fact that

You crapped on your credibility when you went with the rhetorically ridiculous 100% slippery slope argument. It’s a bad illogical argument and bringing it up kills the chance for a reasonable debate.

Want your roads built and repaired? Taxes
Want your education paid for? Taxes
Want your military? Taxes
Want your public works (water, sewer etc...)? Taxes
Want your public parks maintained? Taxes
Want your State and Federal parks maintained and protected? Taxes

Roads are shite because the gas tax hasn’t gone up in 25 years and it was designed to pay for these things. Can’t raise gas prices though because it’ll murder your run for office. In addition states and municipalities are responsible for road repair and maintenance, not the Federal government.

Yes, we get it, everything is good and bad, nothing is black and white. All is grey, we are all wrong. Stop being pedantic. The statement is an indictment of our political system. Taxes should be good and used for the good of society. Duh, that’s obviously not how it works right now.

Precisely. But good or bad outcomes are purely subjective. Someone viewing high military spending as necessary and good is an opinion that is equally as valid as your insinuated distaste for those same actions.

I bet you’re pleasant to be around.

You realize that he’s just being dramatic to be funny..right? Like he isn’t actually putting this next to war or anything?

Look, I'm not saying they didn't have their reasons or do what they thought best for their particular job- you can absolutely argue that they did— all I'm saying is that they committed a crime against humanity of unfathomable size.
