You must think I missed the entire article . . . ?

Damn, in 100 years white girls STILL have no ass?

So we can condemn people for their past actions as long as they’re white millionaires, but everyone else has “put it behind them “ and is “turning over a new leaf” and “wouldn’t hurt a fly”.

You don’t know what you are talking about. I suggest you try, learn and then you talk.

You’re really not paying attention. When I have said over and over again that mental illness can cause a person to do things they wouldn’t otherwise, I’m also referring to the murder.

One time I was riding with my boyfriend and we pulled into the left lane to make a left turn. As we were waiting for the light to turn green, a lady in a convertible next to us asked us “Excuse me, what are you two doing in the left lane? You should be in the bike lane!” Apparently it does not occur to some drivers…

I didn’t say either was okay with me. What I said was that suicide is not the ‘cowardly’ decision that some people claim it is. The OP made a judgment call without any actual understanding of the situation, other than ‘this is what it looks like.’

Alright. Suburbs. Carry on then. You have bought into a completely different mental state and so your world view is framed differently.

i don’t even know what you’re talking about. most diehard bikers live in cities and don’t even own cars. you seemingly know no bikers, given your inability to give a shit about them. i’m tapping out here b/c you’re waxing poetic about nothing. have a nice weekend, i hope you grow the empathy gene soon.

And bikers think your lazy ass that sits behind your steering wheel is entitled to the road. Have a little empathy to people trying to not pollute the earth and get some exercise in the process. It’s really not hard to yield for 3 seconds to a biker while you’re in a 2,000 pound metal shield, and we are subjected to…

That is a shockingly ignorant attitude towards mental illness. It assumes something like suicide is an entirely rational decision. It is usually not. It is a symptom of an illness, not a ‘cowardly’ act.

You’re going to have to get past thinking California’s rules of the road should conform to the ones of whatever state you came from. If you’re too nervous to drive safely here...then don’t.

What if you always checked your mirrors before leaving a lane in other states too?

As a 2 wheeled motorist, it sure sounds like lanespiitting is making you a more aware and focused 4-wheeled motorist. Good.

considering you buy shitty Toyotas you have zero clue what a Mercedes feels like. your Toyota felt cheap the day it was new and feels cheaper today. Mercedes feel like bank vaults. it has nothing to do with how the owner treated it and everything with how Mercedes built them. even ratty old 240d have pristine mbtex…

Automotive engineer here. You are correct — the build quality, as defined by the meticulous and methodical pace of assembly, the choice (as in premium selection) of materials, the tolerances, and the extremely conservative engineering made for a truly special automobile. This car was constructed at or near the…

That buick needs to die. That’s what I was saying.

It seems to me that, at this current moment in automotive history, Tesla is to cars what Apple was to smart phones in 2007.
