Really? Did you watch the video because I did and it pretty much cemented my opinion that this is not one of the ten most capable off road vehicles you can buy in America. (nor is it designed to be) A Toyota Highlander could probably do better.

So, a bunch of brand new, shiny, $50,000-$100,000 trucks...

For fucks sake.

exactly my point, SC had their own reasoning which means they wanted a seperation of state and federal rights. The percentage of soldiers who fought for the south and owned slaves was minuscule. Keep trying to rewrite history though...

You missed the point of the civil war. It was agressive tariffs. The North at the time was a Manufacturing superpower and could make goods effeciently but charged a great deal. The Souths Economy was based on agriculture. Meanwhile the European Nations were selling the latest implements to the South for far less…

You’re assuming that there is logic or rational thought behind this. There isn’t. Since the Confederacy capitulated, there has been a steady effort to erase all of Southern Culture from the history books and recast the sectionalist divisions that marked the early Republic as “good Yankees vs evil white slave owners”.…

LOL......and you are an example of people branding anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their precise world view. I have NEVER defended the South in this argument, and the reason you think I have is because you’re so up your own ass on this topic. The South was hands down, in the wrong when it comes to the Civil War.…

Sure. Slavery, states’ rights, Northern resentment due to massive economic differences, Southerners believing that Northerners were descendants of Cromwell (and altogether different from themselves)....there’s a myriad of reasons, which I know because I’m a student of history and the war.

I hate this groupthink so common nowadays that anyone expressing a view that goes against the prevailing echo chamber sentiment is “trolling.” He’s not trolling. He thinks differently than you (and I) do, but he’s supporting his arguments and he’s obviously not just trying to stir the pot.

Slavery may have been a benefit of states rights but the underlying cause of the war was federal vs states rights. Much like the issues we are still dealing with today in terms of gay marriage or healthcare. You should really try reading a history book...

Good God almighty........The Dukes of Hazzard isn’t on the air anymore because of the blanket knee-jerk reactions of offense to anything civil war related. Was the General Lee a literal monument to slavery? I’m not a “south’s gonna rise again” type, not by a long shot. I am a HUGE “those who don’t learn history are…

Ok, so now we’re getting somewhere. Let’s assume that you are speaking for all African Americans in being offended by these monuments......where else can we take this concept? Does it apply to anyone who is offended? Does anything causing offense get removed or spackled over?

they were fighting for states rights and to southerners it is pretty disrespectful to tear down monuments to soldiers who fought just because those soldiers lost the war.

Ok, I’ll play.........where do we draw the line in this game of “Fuck this and fuck that”? George Washington owned slaves.......should we just topple the Washington Monument? Some US GI’s committed horrible atrocities against civilians in Vietnam.....does the Vietnam Wall belong on public land?

“insulate them from the experience of driving”

You never borrowed your parent’s car to take your girlfriend out when you first got your license?

Already been stated I had a million dollars of coverage

You need to get those bootstraps pulled up rather than whining on the internet. Maybe get a better education and find a better paying job instead of looking for someone to throw the blame on.

Thank you for establishing how utterly out of touch you are you 1% scumbag you.

The headline is WAY out of context both in the scope of the discussion, and the way Trump communicates in general.

More disingenuous reporting from Gawker.
