The old “I’m sorry you’re offended” non-defense defense.  

This is one of those myths that continues (and I fully expect not to get out of the greys for saying so). Well, not so much ‘myth’ as ‘GREATLY exaggerated’ for a whole lot of reasons. The truth is murkier than the simplistic Red/Blue states label.

With less charm :)

oh tons! Trains can only go on rails. They can only stop at set places, which take a lot of real estate and expense to build. Train stations can’t do much other than be train stations. Roads are vastly more versatile - we could turn them into emergency evac routes, for instance. We could run other vehicles on there…

As a child of immigrants, the point of college was to learn a skill so you can make a good living.

Not for nothin’, but that’s actually paraphrased from a famous M*A*S*H line. Frank Burns: “Why does everyone take an instant dislike to me?” Trapper John: “It saves time, Frank.”

Honestly I’d like to see the robot trucks stay in the right lane 100% of the time, but in groups of like 3. There could be minimal distance between them because reaction times would be instantaneous. I mean, not like NO distance, but a lot less than we normally think of. They could set 100% at the speed limit and all…

I never answered it because it should be obvious to anyone who thought about it for 2 and half seconds - the truck bed. If you think putting it in the open bed is ridiculous then you’re being ridiculous. The bed holds lots of stuff. Pretty well too. Even in rain. A couple of crates - you know, EXACTLY like people use…

Well I’m not a car rental agency, so we’re all good!

YEAH! I’m never buying a Renault again!

I literally LOL’d at the 13% to 6% profit margin comment. I was told by any number of people around these parts that new cars only make like $100 on a sale, if not actually lose money on every new car sold. Apparently it’s a 13% profit now...? That’s a pretty big difference. Tell me again how dealers ‘save me money’?  …

It’s because their gas is on the wrong side of the road. ;)

If something is in the backseat already (like people), then you don’t put it in the back seat. You put it somewhere else. You know.... kinda like EVERY vehicle ever made. This isn’t rocket science.

Not really, but nobody would do that anyway.  You’d either just toss that stuff in the back seat or have a cover of some sort for the bed, like a Tonneau or something.  

To quote my grandfather, “Don’t matter if the egg hits the rock or the rock hits the egg.... it ain’t too good for the egg.”

Pricing goes up rather quick, but comes down pretty darn slow

Nope. I truly meant “who”. I’m 100% against the existence of both a “who” and a “whom”. It’s extraneous. Evidence suggests people have been screwing up which one to use since at least the 13th century. It’s just a way to delineate the riff-raff from the educated. So I purposefully avoid the use of “whom” in all…

Irregardless takes me a second to realize they mean regardless...

Clearer to who? Clarity implies both a communicator and a receiver of the communications, doesn’t it? If both clearly understand the intent and meaning, then alternatives don’t inherently provide “clearer” meaning.  Either you understand what someone is communicating or you don’t.  

Language is simply too big and powerful to be confined by the binary of “right” and “wrong”. Slippery slopes might fun and all, but relax poindexter.  Nobody is calling for getting rid of all rules.  Writing is alive and well.  It might not be your definition of art, but guess what? You don’t get to define art for…
