You keep using that word...I do not think it means what you think it means.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension. My issue is with the tone and manner by which certain people convey the facts you reference, not their mere conveyance.

You’re entitled to think whatever demagogue conclusions you like, but you hardly speak for “the majority of other people”. No one does.  You speak for yourself.  If you believe that most, or even a significant number of the people displaying this logo do so out of white supremacy rather than its original and indented…

Except that wasn’t the claim you or the other poster made:

“The “thin blue line” movement was a response to police officers getting heat for repeatedly killing people of color in the line of duty.”

Absolutely 100% false! It was not a “response” to BLM—it predates it by three decades or more. And while I certainly…

Or maybe don’t be a snarky, condescending, and holier-than-thou pulpit banger in the course of reporting the news. 

You can repost the same falsehood as many times as you like, but it doesn’t change the facts—that is simply *NOT* the origin of the “Thin Blue Line” notion and symbology. It’s not even close to the correct timeline for it either. You may not have noticed them before the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement, but I…

These arguments will be used against personal vehicles in general.

Some people wouldn’t be asses if it wasn’t for the bombardment of woke-scolding paternalism they have to suffer through, day-in and day-out, from articles with this kind of over-the-top tone. Just sayin’...

Absolutes = Troll

Nope. Just outright factually false.

The “Thin Blue Line” image, as used as a display of support for law enforcement, predates the “lives matter” slogans by about 30 years. It came to prominence in the early 90s as bumper stickers, jewelry, t-shirts, uniform patches, etc.

Nope. Just outright factually false.

The “Thin Blue Line” image, as used as a display of support for law enforcement and other first responders, predates the “lives matter” slogans by about 30 years. It came to prominence in the early 90s, possibly earlier.

But of course in your mind, only racists support law…

Came here to say exactly this.  Thank you!

Unless you forgot a “/S”, this is the most fallacious analogy I’ve seen on here in quite a while.  And I’ve seen some bad ones.

I agree. To answer the title’s question: No, no one really needs winter tires, although they certainly can’t hurt, especially if you don’t have much winter driving experience. However, I’ve successfully driven a number of “non-winter” cars through the foothills of the Blue Ridge in quite snowy conditions, including a…

In the US I think the notion of keeping a set of “winter tires” is pretty exclusive to car enthusiasts overall, and then only actually practiced by a small percentage of those living in very harsh climate areas. I do understand it’s pretty ubiquitous outside of the States, in Canada and the snowier European regions.

I…

Federal classifications and automotive insider wonks aside, did ANYONE in the general car buying public ever call the Jeep Wrangler an SUV?? I’ve never heard any “lay” person call it that. Especially since the Wrangler and CJ-series before it predate the term “SUV”. Most folks just call it a Jeep.

Is that true in all 50 states?

Came here to say this.

Well said! A great example of what you describe is ever-increasing wheel size on run-of-the-mill vehicles. No soccer mom ever answered a marketing study by saying her [generic CUV] was good, but would be *great* if it just had larger wheels.

Until the man with the blinking red light is on their tale.  Many speed limits are not rationally related to the design of their associated roadway.  You need to have the ability to comply with laws, especially the dumb ones.

I agree with most of what you wrote, however, *ALL* drivers care about driving dynamics. Many just don’t realize they do, or what they are. For them, it just becomes another ethereal reason why they like one car over another, but can’t really articulate. They just like the way X vehicle “feels”.  Example: My mom.
