I'm not refering to all Americans being assholes, but rather the assholes who happen to be American. Specfically my jackass neighbour who imported some hugeass Humer, or whatever they're called.

We live in the fucking CBD! Why in Darwins' name does he need a vehicle designed for the military?

And why must he insist on parking in the shared drive so I can't get my car out. Yes, you flaming jackass, when you're car takes up one and a bit lanes it makes it hard to pass in a laneway barely big enough for one.

And OMFG! Thanks for moving it out of the driveway... the fourth time I asked... AND ONTO THE FUCKING GARDEN!

I hate Hummers too. They're big, expensive gas-guzzlers and are probably useless in the long run.

Every time I see one, a peice of me dies.

I say ban cars.

You're trying to get me fired with these topic titles, aren't you?

GARDEN!

Yummmy Olive Garden
Fettuchini Alfredo and warm garlic breadsticks with a Coke.
Sounds good to me!

I just don't see the point. If you really feel the need, why not just go all out and buy a tank. You'd probally run over less children.

I say ban cars.
I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.

I say ban cars.hippie... :p

Especially when they are spotless, gleaming, and being driven around an urban area. I mean...you're clearly not using it for anything strenuous...so WHY spend that kind of money on that kind of power? IT WON'T MAKE YOUR PENIS BIGGER!!!!

It's directly related to the feeling of sexual inadequacy. I'm fairly certain it is a status symbol akin to viagra. I can't think of any other hypothesis.That or the general feeling of being able to piss off everybody in the parking lots.

You're trying to get me fired with these topic titles, aren't you?
I do what I can. See, classic example of an obvious flame layered in a legitimate arguement ;).

Also, I really do hate Hummers, SUVs and 4WDs anywhere other then The Outback.

I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.
i agree!! :) :D :D

As an American, it disgusts me to see all those behemoths clogging our roads and air. Honestly, aside from a couple blocks in bed-stuy;) there is no reason for anyone to need an armored car in New York.

I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.
That's the smartest thing you've said all day.

*Start singing "Why Can't We Be Friends"
Come on guys, lets all go to Olive Garden. We can go Dutch.

You should hide uncooked squid in his hummer. Leave it there on a hot day when he won't be driving for a while. Roll the windows up and let the stuff ferment.

I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.If by "you guys" you mean me, I'm all for it.

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

Do you want the government to tell you what you can and can't buy?

You think that's bad try rooming with Batman. You'd think he'd use all that cash to get a useful ride but ohhhh no it's always "I'm Batman, I need a cool car." You know what it gets you? Five hundred dollars worth of fines for down fencing in one damn day. :mad:

If by "you guys" you mean me, I'm all for it.

My liege!

I just don't see the point...

It's a symbol of wealth, nothing less. And people wonder why much of the world calls the US "decadent".

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

Do you want the government to tell you what you can and can't buy?

Don't they do that all ready? I know lots of things I'm not supposed to buy because the government says so. Grenade launchers, pot, sex...

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

Freedom of choice does not = free reign to be an inconsiderate asshole and suffer no consequences. Including having your neighbour bitch about your choice, and perhaps slash your tires.

[QUOTE=Rotovia-]I'm not refering to all Americans being assholes, but rather the assholes who happen to be American. Specfically my jackass neighbour who imported some hugeass Humer, or whatever they're called.

Hummers are not that big on american roads but anyone who imports one is a morbid ass

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

Do you want the government to tell you what you can and can't buy?

Uhh... That's not it. It's the fact that the vehicle is a monstrous gas guzzler. Either some strict economy standards should be enacted, or it should be banned.

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

And wait...that just registered. THAT'S what's so great about being an 'American'? Consumer power?

What lofty ideals you hold. Truly stunning in their depth and breadth.

oh, don't get me started on SUVs. My parents and I drive a regular car, some massive thing pulls up behind us, you can't help but feel like you're going to get run over. Gas mileage isn't important to the spoiled americans that have money, they just complain more about how much gas costs, figuring some politician will solve that problem for them. I await the day the U.S. falls behind in the economic race, so mabye people will stop taking all their luxuries for granted. yay.

Don't they do that all ready? I know lots of things I'm not supposed to buy because the government says so. Grenade launchers, pot, sex...
...people....

No...

It shows that people would rather waste their money on over-priced gas guzzling, useless BEHEMOTHS than spend on healthcare and education.

I have a headache now...Thanks alot General Motors...

Try living in Texas. Every stereotype about Americans is more true in Texas.
Better and worse.

You know what my favorite car is? The 1988 Geo Metro. It's cozy, has a very efficient air conditioner/heater, and it can get up to 60 miles per gallon (this is if you don't gun the gas at stop signs and the such).

Freedom of choice does not = free reign to be an inconsiderate asshole and suffer no consequences. Including having your neighbour bitch about your choice, and perhaps slash your tires.
Freedom of choice DOES= Freedom to be an inconsiderate asshole. And ass far as consequence, I'd like to see someone try to slash my tires. We Americans also have the right to bear arms. ;)

My liege!
"My Lady!" would be more like it. Then I can send you about your buisness properly.

Hey, we're a consumer culture. After 9/11 our President told us that as a people we needed to go shopping to save the nation for chrissakes!

You mean we have good stereotypes? Holy Shi- *faints*

Freedom of choice does not = free reign to be an inconsiderate asshole and suffer no consequences. Including having your neighbour bitch about your choice, and perhaps slash your tires.
nah...real damage can get you in trouble. I suggest less harmful tactics.

Take 4 or 5 marbles and put them under the hubcap. when the jackass drives, he'll think something is wrong.
Or, put a note on his front windshield that just says "Enjoy the sugar in your gas tank". No need to actually do it. He wont test it.

If all else fails, go to the local theater supply store or hardware store, and buy the chemicals to make foam core. pour the 2 liquids in, and watch as they expand to about 200x their original size, then solidify.

Or freeze gel shaving cream, cut open the canister, and put a few rolls into the car. As they melt, they will expand.

Freedom of choice DOES= Freedom to be an inconsiderate asshole. And ass far as consequence, I'd like to see someone try to slash my tires. We Americans also have the right to bear arms. ;)And you also have the right to have Michael Moore make a documentary about it after you do.

Freedom of choice DOES= Freedom to be an inconsiderate asshole. And ass far as consequence, I'd like to see someone try to slash my tires. We Americans also have the right to bear arms. ;)

I'd beat the living shit out of somebody before they could threaten me with a gun. Aluminum bats are good for that. Heavy aluminum bats.

See, it's like this: I slash the tires on your gas-guzzling Hummer, and you get a beating. It's win-win.

If by "you guys" you mean me, I'm all for it.
You and Roto-rooter. Isn't that how it works, though? We can't choose as well as you think we should, so who else is more qualified?

I see your problem. The solution?

Key the car, put a potato in the exhaust, put nails under the wheels. All in one night. :p

*slap*

Liege, damnit!Look, do you need me to prove it?

No...

It shows that people would rather waste their money on over-priced gas guzzling, useless BEHEMOTHS than spend on healthcare and education.

Yeah, I LIKE spending MY money that I earn on ME, instaed of people I've never met who can't afford their cell phone payment, internet payment, and feeding their 8 kids all at once.

Don't get me wrong, I know their are people who NEED our help, but until you fix it so people can't cheat me, they can all screw off.

I miss the good old Caddies. You know...before American cars sucked.

Look, do you need me to prove it?

No, because I've seen your pic.

I still stand by my words!!!

Freedom of choice DOES= Freedom to be an inconsiderate asshole. And ass far as consequence, I'd like to see someone try to slash my tires. We Americans also have the right to bear arms. ;)
Don't split my quote up...it's meant to be: Freedom of choice != free reign to be an inconsiderate asshole and suffer no consequences. Sure, you can be an inconsiderate asshole, but you do not have the freedom to be one and never suffer any consequences. As for the right to bear arms...yeah, that's really going to unslash your tires for you as you wave your gun about, dressed in your bathrobe and bunny slippers...unless you plan on standing guard over your prized possession 24/7, a gun is not necessarily going to protect it from vandalism.

That being said...ooooh! I hate people who slash tires, or key vehicles...HATE HATE HATE!

I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.That's the smartest thing you've said all day.
Ye gods, imagine Rotovia in charge...
It would be like Pinky and the Brain finally succeded in taking over the world.:eek:

That old chestnut is getting just that --- old.

:rolleyes:

That or the general feeling of being able to piss off everybody in the parking lots.

That's exactly the reason I want one. And if I can afford to buy the Hummer outright, then I can afford the constant touch ups to the paint job from people keying it.

You mean we have good stereotypes? Holy Shi- *faints*
Yah we win wars.
shifts eyes vietnam never happened

That being said...ooooh! I hate people who slash tires, or key vehicles...HATE HATE HATE!

Ah come on, you've never wanted to key the hell out of some inconsiderate rich kid's Lamborghini Diablo 6.0?

:rolleyes:

Hey, it looks like somebody can't pick up on a joke! Incredible!

This asshole is aiding the terrorists every time he hauls his fatass to McDonald's in that tank. Take appropriate measures to insure our national security. ;)

I just got myself an aircraft carrier and mounted 20 wheels, each 200 ft high, on each side. Cuz I can. Afford it. If that's a problem for ya, yer just another envious commie asshole.

Off now, cruisin' da streets, crushin' Hummers.
Who's the Daddy??

You and Roto-rooter. Isn't that how it works, though? We can't choose as well as you think we should, so who else is more qualified?Article 1: I wasn't serious about banning cars.
Article 2: Thisis a pretty fundamental question. Should society (ie. people other than yourself) be able to make binding decisions about your life? I happen to thing yes, they should, and they do. Its the pluralistic model that I embrace, within reason. People should of course have control over their bodies, property, and money to a large degree, but I think it is fair of others to have enforcable demands as well. Maybe it was the community I was raised in, but I believe in collective responsibility, and collective liability too.

Yeah. You think it's bad? I fucking LIVE in America.

We MAKE the fucking things.

And we have to listen to Europeans complain on how much America sucks. They ought to move here and meet the people they complain about. Then they'll probably stop complaining.

Who's the Daddy??

The nuke I just launched in your carrier's direction. :D

Hey, it looks like somebody can't pick up on a joke! Incredible!
I picked up the joke, It just wasn't a funny joke. Hence the ---->:rolleyes:

No, they'll complain even more. They'd riot.

Not funny to you, maybe. But it was funny and satisfying for me.

what really anoys me is that people here buy unessisarly large cars, but the start whining when they have to stop to get gas every 2 hours. If you didn't have a car that didn't get two miles to the gallon and took up half the road, one wouldn't have that problem. ETHER SELL THE DAMN HUMMER BACK TO THE ARMY OR SHUT UP AND STOP BEING A WHINY LITTLE BITCH

Ah come on, you've never wanted to key the hell out of some inconsiderate rich kid's Lamborghini Diablo 6.0?
No. And I don't assume that the new vehicles I see are owned by rich people...because they usually aren't...and it friggin' hurts to have to replace your tires, or get your paint fixed when some ass decides you 'can afford' to have your vehicle vanadalised. Sorry...I'm a bit touchy on the subject, having had two vehicles scratched up.

You and whose army? :D

No, because I've seen your pic.

meh, I guess I should take what form of royalty is offered me. Go fetch me a hydrogen-powered vehicle which takes up half a lane.

Ah, I see, I see. I've never keyed any cars or slashed any tires, but if I saw a brand-new supercar, and I knew it was some spoiled, incosiderate dumbass driving it, I'd ruin the damn thing. I don't care how beautiful it is.

Oh, yeah, that's right, nevermind.

Somebody sounds poor and jealous. :D

Oh, yeah, that's right, nevermind.

No no, go along with it. I'm all for huge riots, especially when they're instigated by like-minded people.

One day a vehicle is going to be built that takes up all five lanes of the freeway. I might buy that one simply for the sheer number of people I could watch either yanking their hair out when I drive too slow or crapping in their pants when I drive too fast. Cornering might be a bitch though.

I'd like you to direct your attention to two of the seven deadly sins: Pride and Sloth.

We look upon Hummers, we see pride, at the same time we see Sloth when we hear about people with said Hummers complaining about gas prices.

*Scratches head*

And the country's system, capitalism, encourages this kind of behavior. I though this was supposed to be "one nation under God"?

Somebody sounds poor

You have no idea. I'll say this, and only this: I've been on welfare for eight years, and I don't much care for dipshit rich kids who never had to work for anything in their lives.

Ah, I see, I see. I've never keyed any cars or slashed any tires, but if I saw a brand-new supercar, and I knew it was some spoiled, incosiderate dumbass driving it, I'd ruin the damn thing. I don't care how beautiful it is.
Mmmm...yeah....no. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. And it's not necessarily because I believe in the sanctity of private property...I just don't think I could be such an ass. In that way. I'd rather be more subversive than destructive. It's more destructive in the long run, you see:)

Pfft, who wouldnt buy that. You could always just build more highway.

YAY COOKIE FOR ME!

Corners? Corners? If you drive a car like that, you are clearly above mere changes in direction. Pshhah, rise to your station. ;)

Only when it's convenient.

I already posted the definition on hypocrisy on another thread, shall I do so again?

Let me introduce you all to my baby.

Her name is 350.

She has a 6.0 liter powerstroke diesel and 38 inch tires.

AND it's taller and heavier than a Hummer! ;)

Welcome to America. :D

I think people buy hummer just cause it makes them feel good. like holdong a hammer or wereing steal-toe boots. you just feel like smashing something. nehaha.

My dear God, that has to be the dumbest thing I've read all day.
Everything save the argument that people driving Hummers and other urban assault vehicles shouldn't complain about gas prices was moronic on so many levels, it was dizzying.
To begin to tell you why would be like peeling a retarded onion.

I think people buy hummer just cause it makes them feel good. like holdong a hammer or wereing steal-toe boots. you just feel like smashing something. nehaha.
Now, I've given hummers...but never driven one. I think, on the whole, men would prefer regular hummers to driving a Hummer. Think about it.

See that road? The one hidden by that monstrosity? It's made of tar-mac. This means you do not need seven metre wheels and a fuel guzzling capacity that makes an F-16 look like a Toyota Prius. Jeez
You may have noticed I really hate pointless 'cars'.;)

To begin to tell you why would be like peeling a retarded onion.
Wow...you're so bitchy today! What's up? Want a hummer?:D

Don't hate me just because I'm right

Yes well, I support you in that, I just won't be joining you:) Which is how it always went at protests too. When it came time to break things, I declined.
You might as well join in. Supporting people like that makes you just as ignorant as the people who do it.

Fair warning, don't ever support it anywhere in Pennsylvania. It might just be my stuff, and I don't fire warning shots. I work hard for my stuff, and I hurt people who try to ruin it.

Now, I've given hummers...but never driven one. I think, on the whole, men would prefer regular hummers to driving a Hummer. Think about it.
The corporate slogan is "Hummer -- like nothing else". Does that make you think of a large car, or does your mind wander elsewhere?

Since it's Christmas-time, a proper seasonal slogan would be "Give the man you love an Hummer".

*blink blink*

Are we feeling all right Eichen?
You should have seen him in the "Like, OMG!" thread...the way he was talking about women...I wanted to wash his mouth out with my...um...nevermind. Point being. Yeah. He seems odd today.

Now, I've given hummers...but never driven one. I think, on the whole, men would prefer regular hummers to driving a Hummer. Think about it.
Actually, NO. When we turn of the Hummer, it shuts up! :D

I like scaring the stupid kids with the little jap cars with tin can mufflers and spoilers. :D

Wow...you're so bitchy today! What's up? Want a hummer?:D
Sweetie, I am a bitch... have you just started to read my posts today?
I'm just allergic to stupid, and that post made my symptoms act up. And they're acting up something fierce on NS lately.



And who the fuck are you Penguin, and why are you talking to me?

Don't hate me just because I'm right

What are you talking about? I'm so confused...

Hey penguin, I used to live in Naperville, do you know where that is?

why do you ask?

why do you ask?
Cuz its relli close to Oak Park.

You might as well join in. Supporting people like that makes you just as ignorant as the people who do it. Yeah...no. I figure, if you're willing to do it, and take the consequences of it, then go hard. That's the level of my support. Does that make me ignorant? Don't worry...I support your right to be inconsiderate, as long as you are willing to take the consequences too.

Fair warning, don't ever support it anywhere in Pennsylvania. It might just be my stuff, and I don't fire warning shots. I work hard for my stuff, and I hurt people who try to ruin it.
You are working from a different definition of support than I, it seems. Unless you'd shoot me for watching, and not preventing someone from vandalising your vehicle.

Sweetie, I am a bitch... have you just started to read my posts today?
I'm just allergic to stupid, and that post made my symptoms act up. And they're acting up something fierce on NS lately.



And who the fuck are you Penguin, and why are you talking to me?

because I'm the one who made the argument that you were talking about, at least I think so, mabey you were talking about someone else, idin't read the whole forum but if not, THEY are

mercenery: huh, I THOUGHT I heard that before

*can't find any affordable ones*

*gets you a Geo Metro instead**finds out what the heck a Geo Metro is*
You got me a CAR!?

*makes all mortals trade their cars in for stylish and sexy Italian electric Vespas*

I'm guessing Eichen didn't like my analogy between the Deadly Sins and the Hummer argument...must think I'm some kind of Fundie...

Anyway, bad karma. *shivers*

Yeah...no. I figure, if you're willing to do it, and take the consequences of it, then go hard. That's the level of my support. Does that make me ignorant? Don't worry...I support your right to be inconsiderate, as long as you are willing to take the consequences too.

Yes, any level of support for vandalism of personal property, in my opinion, makes one ignorant.

But no, I wouldn't shoot you for watching. I would however get my revenge in some other, less deadly, way. Like maybe go slash YOUR tires a few months later, and leave a note saying "Sorry, but no one stopped me" on the window.

Uh-huh. Alright then. I think you actually missed the point of my post, but that's fine.

I'm with the person that says SUV's in general suck ass. And of course it is they who've complained most about fuel, etc etc. The "new" Hummers aren't worth jack. As said (:headbang: ) they are wasteful because not many owners ever really drive off road with them. But hey, if the owners are proud of being wasteful, inconsiderate people, all power to them...

All I would want for Christmas is one mine, that's all. If I could in my life blow up at least one, I'm happy.

Just my humble opinion.


As for the other hummers...*sigh* people are goofy.

*blink blink*

Are we feeling all right Eichen?
Hee's the deal... when I hear people blame something like this on capitalism, I want to stick my finger through my eye and swish around in my brain.
Capitalism neither gives you a small penis, nor does it drive most of us to coolhunting (countercultural equivalent of status-seeking). Actually, a leftist-derived urge to differentiate ourselves from the other soccer moms and football dads drives these assholes to purchase tanks so they look "different"...
I'm no sell-out! Look at me! I'm still cool and hip and young... I drive a fukkin' couch-on-wheels to the PTA! Eat shit you boring all farts!

This is why nothing will ever change here, because we don't (refuse to) see things for what they are.
(And yeah, I've been touchy lately. I hate this shitbag holiday. Always have. But I've always been a bitch and always will be. ;) )

I can't get rid of this mental picture of a man in black in his Hummer with 2 pumpguns and 3 automatics in the back, on his way to church.

Has anyone noticed the corellation between the consumption of oil and American optimism...The more oil we consume the more oil we believe is somewhere out there.

It's not the SUVs, it's the general American attitude of being stupid and arrogant toward everyone else around them. I should know; I am an American, and probably one of the only ones who can criticize the country without getting my all-important American feathers ruffled. Americans really are arrogant #!@$**&^s (not all of them, but DEFINITELY most).

Really, I'm sory. I have been touchy lately and too quick to jump down throats. Usually only for those that deserve it, but you didn't.
I shouldn't be fighting with my fellow soljas in the LGBT Army anyways.

Well, I know someone who won't be getting a ride in my new Rubicon...

...and before anyone says it, look - its a damn two seater for all intent and purpose, smaller than most sedans (domestic or imported), and yes - I do care about the environment - I happen to be a conservationalist - its hard to live an outdoors lifestyle driving a vespa, sorry. Public transit doesn't take me to 1/10th of the places I frequent last I checked... though this doesn't excuse impractical, and non-functional gas-pigs like hummers... I hope at least some people will wise up to the fact that all SUV's are not useless.

I forgot to mention the straitjacket...:D

I dont know if Id say reborn... just revamped and temporarily available for seasonal promotion... you know me, here one minute locked up and insane the next.

Eichen, its good to see you - and on that note, can I be invited to that make-up sex party I seen you post about?

I'm not refering to all Americans being assholes, but rather the assholes who happen to be American. Specfically my jackass neighbour who imported some hugeass Humer, or whatever they're called.

We live in the fucking CBD! Why in Darwins' name does he need a vehicle designed for the military?

And why must he insist on parking in the shared drive so I can't get my car out. Yes, you flaming jackass, when you're car takes up one and a bit lanes it makes it hard to pass in a laneway barely big enough for one.

And OMFG! Thanks for moving it out of the driveway... the fourth time I asked... AND ONTO THE FUCKING GARDEN!

[/rant]

Do you guys live on a snow-covered mountain?

If not, his Hummer is totally impractical.

Next time you see him, thank him for doing his part in keeping our demand for oil way high and allowing oil companies to keep barrel prices higher than they would be if demand were lower.

Uhh... That's not it. It's the fact that the vehicle is a monstrous gas guzzler. Either some strict economy standards should be enacted, or it should be banned.

Don't ban it. Just tack on a 100% too big gas guzzler tax.

In Iraq they have important community action anti-SUV programs. They're known as IEDs and RPGs. I see no reason why they can't be adapted to the west...

If they don't fit in a lane then why are they considered roadworthy?

Here you're not allowed to drive an ATV (those three or four wheeled dirt motorcycles) on city streets, so why should you be allowed to drive a hummer on a road in which it doesn't fit?

Because we live in a free society and most people, except idiots like the guy who started this thread, dont give a shit about what people drive.

until you get hit by one.

can you believe i didnt read this whole thread??

rotovia DARLIN', there is only one reason a man would import this stupid piece of shit car....he thinks he is going to the outback

dont you know someone who could oblige him by guiding him out to some remote area of the godforsaken desert and abandoning him there? THEN he can find out just how much of a man he really is.

Because we live in a free society and most people, except idiots like the guy who started this thread, dont give a shit about what people drive.

Is this an answer to my asking why a hummer is considered roadworthy?

Even we don't live in a society that free. You're not allowed to drive a locomotive down the street, even though the old fashioned steamengines could operate on an asphalt road, unless it's in Arizona in August. You're not allowed to drive a motorscooter on the highway. Most cities don't allow commercial trucks on highways. If a road is too small for a hummer to drive on then hummers shouldn't be allowed on it. It isn't really fit for certain roads.

did you know that when you buy an SUV or a Hummer you get a tax break for it? At least thats what I heard some car dealer say?

Hummers where designed within the limits imposed on them by the gov't to fit with the AMERICAN standard. But I do agree that people who don't need them shouldn't buy them because they can. Good thing the H3 is a smaller version.

It's directly related to the feeling of sexual inadequacy. I'm fairly certain it is a status symbol akin to viagra. I can't think of any other hypothesis.That or the general feeling of being able to piss off everybody in the parking lots.


No, owing a Hummer, or any large SUV, is directly marketed as being the utmost in safety.
With the scare tactics of the media, the government yelling "look out terrorists..any second!", and whatnot, the car companies market these things as the safest thing you can put your kids in, short of a Abrahms.

In short, Auto manufacturers, are playing on the average housewifes fear of losing her children.
So, the mother buys a big, armor plated SUV.

I say ban cars.
I like you.

Don't worry about the entire Hummer problem.

You'll be very happy when you see him at the gas station.

I like you.
I like her too... shes a sweetheart, but shes still not getting a ride in my jeep. ;)

I say go for an even more apropriate (and capitalistic) revenge. Invest in an oil company and make money off of the asshole's idiocy. It's like him paying you a tariff for being too stupid to drive a real vehicle.

* then lays off autoworkers, steel workers, and various other supplier industries, leaving a vast wasteland in the area formerly known as the Motor City *Hey, only I'm allowed to do that. Now get off my throne. Besides, the demand for Vespas will be greatly incresed - all those folks can start making those.

I like you.
I don't know you, but I'm willing to bet that you're nice enough. Especially if you join Potaria in my service.

Probably explains why all the gays I know don't drive massive cars; the fact that we virtually have sex on tap, we don't need to make up for any sexual inadequacy :P

You should hide uncooked squid in his hummer. Leave it there on a hot day when he won't be driving for a while. Roll the windows up and let the stuff ferment.

A container of Kim-chee works better under the seat. Make sure of course its a hot day and the windows are rolled up. I did this to a buddy as a practical joke. He didn't talk to me for months. Sold the car and all. Really it wasn't a nice thing to do.;) However he was an Australian.:)

Oddly enough I have yet to see a female drive one. Of the 20 I've seen in town alone, all drivers are male. Perhaps they are protecting their sperm from terrorists?

I doubt it you would need a Company of Infantry(or is that Infantry Company...) and Sandbagging for Africa if you wanted to protect your Sperm from the Terrs...

i smell jealousy. its "unfair" that only the privileged can have hummers.

i smell jealousy. its "unfair" that only the privileged can have hummers.
Yeah because it is perfectly normal for people to drive around in monstrousaties just because they can and for no real purpose other than that.

i smell jealousy. its "unfair" that only the privileged can have hummers.

:) Awesome. I suppose it depends on how you define jealousy. I drive a Mercedes rather than an SUV, becuase just a litlle bit of me likes driving a car that was designed to be driven, not used as an APC. And that little bit of me that gives one about those around me doesn't fancy explaining to the guy that can't see around my Chelsea Tractor when he's trying to get out onto a junction that he's jealous.

I like her too... shes a sweetheart, but shes still not getting a ride in my jeep. ;)
*Poke Checks*

Master i have learnt from our last encounter and have learnt my errors.
Gloves off

I say ban any choice at all and let you guys decide what's best for us.
Are you advocating dictatorship of Kreitzmoorland??!

I dont like cars that produce triple or quadruple the amount of carcerands needed to get from A to B. And yes, its your choice to buy that car, but my lungs and our collective athmosphere that suffer.

Oh, quit your crying. Jeez. That's what's so great about being an American. You can buy anything you want to.

Do you want the government to tell you what you can and can't buy?
I should so be able to drive in the streets n my tank while high on cocaine, accompanied by a harem of prostitutes! As a wealthy man, it's my right!

Yeah, I LIKE spending MY money that I earn on ME, instaed of people I've never met who can't afford their cell phone payment, internet payment, and feeding their 8 kids all at once.

Don't get me wrong, I know their are people who NEED our help, but until you fix it so people can't cheat me, they can all screw off.
Like all those fake sick people and fake children trying to freeload their education!

I just got myself an aircraft carrier and mounted 20 wheels, each 200 ft high, on each side. Cuz I can. Afford it. If that's a problem for ya, yer just another envious commie asshole.

Off now, cruisin' da streets, crushin' Hummers.
Who's the Daddy??
Pwn3d.

I'd like you to direct your attention to two of the seven deadly sins: Pride and Sloth.

We look upon Hummers, we see pride, at the same time we see Sloth when we hear about people with said Hummers complaining about gas prices.

*Scratches head*

And the country's system, capitalism, encourages this kind of behavior. I though this was supposed to be "one nation under God"?
Ah, the seven deadly sins are Catholic, but the USA is mostly Protestant.

You have no idea. I'll say this, and only this: I've been on welfare for eight years, and I don't much care for dipshit rich kids who never had to work for anything in their lives.
Hypocrisy, anyone?

My dear God, that has to be the dumbest thing I've read all day.
Everything save the argument that people driving Hummers and other urban assault vehicles shouldn't complain about gas prices was moronic on so many levels, it was dizzying.
To begin to tell you why would be like peeling a retarded onion.
You can tell me why. (if it involves the word "Protestant", I've already got it covered!)

The corporate slogan is "Hummer -- like nothing else". Does that make you think of a large car, or does your mind wander elsewhere?

Since it's Christmas-time, a proper seasonal slogan would be "Give the man you love an Hummer".
*cue Sex Thread*

But no, I wouldn't shoot you for watching. I would however get my revenge in some other, less deadly, way. Like maybe go slash YOUR tires a few months later, and leave a note saying "Sorry, but no one stopped me" on the window.
I think warning shots would suffice to make most of the Potarias of this world shit themselves instantly.

Hee's the deal... when I hear people blame something like this on capitalism, I want to stick my finger through my eye and swish around in my brain.
Capitalism neither gives you a small penis, nor does it drive most of us to coolhunting (countercultural equivalent of status-seeking).
Yet socialism is to blame for freeloading behaviour and laziness? (a common right-wing argument)

Probably explains why all the gays I know don't drive massive cars; the fact that we virtually have sex on tap, we don't need to make up for any sexual inadequacy :P
Really? Probably what makes me so glad not to be gay was that I thought, up until this moment, that finding a partner in such a heteronormative world would be near impossible.

American libertarian capitalist piggie here. I don't have any problem with expensive cars, per se, just gas-guzzling leviathans. If you want to fund the terrorist's painful chastisement upon the western infidels, be my guest.
Here, though, I'm free to call you a selfish, ignorant traitor.
I'd also like to smother you by wrapping your blowholes in your hypocritical flag stickers you brandish upon your Osamamobile, but somehow I find the composure to stop myself.

(Not aimed at you Bozz, unless you drive a terrormobile, of course).

I mean, granted we can pass "legislation" to limit the number of Hummers next door to you, but... have yo tried actually speaking to this individual? Perhaps if he was made aware that you can't get your car out, he might park a little further over - or park on the street - or, who knows - but you might be able to work something out. You're on this board supposedly directing the events of a nation and can't work out a dispute with your neighbor?? Doesn't bode well for your re-election....

If this were a member of a minority group doing this, would you say "Black Assholes?" Or if it were a gay man doing this, would you say "Gay Assholes?" Or if it were a Muslim doing this, would you say "Muslim Assholes?"

Instead of just their penis?

What I can't get (an I am a bit of a petrol head) is what can a Hummer do so much better than any other vehicle?

Nothing! Unless you want to slap on some armour and some gun mounts etc. But even then it's not the best. As a civilian vehicle what? Be big and ugly is all I can see.

I have no problem with people living within their means. If you can afford to buy and maintain a Hummer, good for you.

Fuck people who judge what you should and shouldnt do because it doesnt suit them.
If you dont like a Hummer, dont get one. Though its seems like the real issue is that people that are so against them couldnt get one anyway.

I hate fuckers that drive Volvos.

I do what I can. See, classic example of an obvious flame layered in a legitimate arguement ;).

Also, I really do hate Hummers, SUVs and 4WDs anywhere other then The Outback.


Being from the North East U.S. you do need 4WDs in other places to. Try driving on the back roads of Vermont in winter with out one and see how far you get. Not that I am defending the Hummer I believe they are totally unnecessary for a civilian to own.

Look, if you want a status symbol, buy a Mercedes. Or a BMW. Or a Lambourghini or Ferrari. I don't really care. I don't think a lot of the other people in here would care either. I think what they care about is idiots who buy cars intended for use in harsh terrain, and then drive them on the road. With heavy traffic. Significantly increasing everyone else's chance of death or serious injury. Seriously, why do you (barring those people who actually do legitimately need them for work and such) need a vehicle that is about 3 times the size of the average car and about five times as heavy? Why do you need to put other people's lives in danger to feel superior? Buy a fucking Porche 911 and a mansion on the Gold Coast. But why in God's name do you need a vehicle that is intended for use in the army, the Outback, the rainforest etc, to drive in the CBD of a capital fucking city?

Hummeres are my favorite cars, H1s that is. I got a Navigator which is ALMOST that size, I'm trying to work my way up to Hummer size.
