The GTI'll probably be similarly equipped (which is the one I hope to get), but no I don't think the standard Golf will be. I had heard that the Golf 7 in NA will be like the new Jetta, slightly cheaper in production (no soft touch dash, rear suspension, etc) but sold cheaper. Worked well for them with the Jetta. They're everywhere.

But on the vw.ca website, the promo pics of the Golf 7 have a TSI badge on it. Maybe they're doing away with the 2.5 engine?

There is very good reason to be patronizing to people who are pretending that they are knowledgable of a subject they clearly haven't the first clue about. It's a public service.
Liars and charlatans need to be mocked and derided.


Then it is just preaching to the choir, as you won't win them over with such a tone. If your efforts aren't to win them over, but rather call them out on lies and deceit then all you need are facts. I just don't think this is going to win anyone over, and if it isn't, then what is it's purpose exactly? I mean, we don't need to ridicule Aristotle for his theory of movement to know that Newtonian or Einsteinian models are superior. Perhaps not everyone can be as soft touch as Neil Degrasse Tyson, but I can't really support other modes of public criticism with conscience.

you probably sucked at soccer which is why you couldnt perform a scoop properly. anybody that is halfway decent at soccer can scoop a ball up in one fluid motion without having to start right next to the soccer ball. The only people that had to do that were newbies.

it wasnt so much as a kick as it was a scoop (or loft in football terms). you're right though, you arent a footballer but you are a fucking idiot fucking brainless.

LOL.. dude, that wasn't a scoop. If you've played ANY football, you know that wasn't a scoop. That was at best a chip, which IS a kick. A scoop, you can place your foot right next to the object and scoop it without ANY impact, merely acceleration.
You are talking out of your arse if you're calling that a scoop. I've never heard such bollocks. Clearly not a footballer, nor anyone with any experience with football. You've heard the term before and thought you'd risk using it here.
I'm not necessarily on the side of the owl (i wouldn't have kicked it), but i just want people to know, you're talking shite.



Hark at the guy using the word "soccer" telling me about how to play football!

Who the hell said you have to stand next to the ball? Even if you do it at full pelt you still have to bring your foot to almost a stop though mate, the objective being that there is virtually no solid impact between your foot and the ball, just a gentle lifting followed by huge acceleration depending on how far you want to send it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is chipping under the guise of scooping, if your foot impacts the ball instead of softly touching it, you're chipping. This guy did not scoop an owl!

Only shining an even greater light on your own ignorance here, move on.

Thanks!   I always thought this should have been huge.

the reason its hard to get it through kissing is because its hard to be infected through your stomach the virus if you had open cut on your face and they also had a cut on there face then they rubbed together there is a chance you could get it still be pritty slim thogh.

the reason people are over coursouse about it is because HIV is associated with the whole "ware protection" and falls under one of the reasons that is propagandized to ware contraception and is presented as if you catch HIV instantly 100% of the time from any contact.

now fact is people should ware contraceptoin as it dose reduce the chances of catching aids sugnificantly , but at the same time you dont just catch aids instantly normaly (although you can) and its far more infectious sexually (vigorous rubbing of the desize against a thin membrane) than it is from other contacts (softly touching against thick skin or stumuch designed to repel viruses , desize, bacteria). Like other STD,s sex is its primary mode of spreading you can still catch other things outside of sex its just normally allot harder.

but from a proper sloppy kiss it would be near imposable. you have to drink over a pint of infected saliva to catch it.


If you could catch it through normal human contact and kissing it would spred like The flue dose , or like sore throughts do , We would be totaly fucked , its actualy resnably hard to catch it , outside of Sex , sharing needels , direct blood contact.

I'm a soft touch.

What if I want to type ? the fact is for most pc interaction you dont need to use a mouse. really fast people can use a keyboard way faster than a mouse on its own. I think the reason people use a mouse for general pc interaction is because its incredibly simple and intuitive.

This system to me looks far more complicated than a mouse not because its "new" but because you have to have 2 hands on the serfice and you have up to 10 graphical points of interaction on the screen you allso have to be thinking about 2 hands not just one , manny people strugle to use 2 hands on a piano granted this is infantly more simplistic than that but its still more complex than 1 hand on a mouse.

I would like tactile force of keys of some kind , I think a good solution would be a mostly flat keyboard but the serfice is touch sensitive ( they do exist already just not that refined) you can have it so that soft touching would do multituch and give access to all the benefits of multi touch systems / wacom pads. however it would be able to be used 100% like a old school querty keybord along with a mouse.

If you observe history of PC HCI devices its a simple fact that people are not going to drop there learned method of interaction , unless it is Radically more eficent , if its within 30% more efficiency people would rather just stick with the old and comfortable HCI device. ~( this explains the reason why a pc keyboard is accentually a 1860s design. http://home.earthlink.net/~dcrehr/IMAGES/sgtablesm.jpeg what's funny is the first ever type writers key interface is not that dissimilar to the most modern of laptops)

people are generaly open to different methods of interaction if it is a compleaty new or perceived as a different device , or there is no better way to control the device at point of the device invention.

I think Mind controle of Pcs would be a good compliment to keybord , mouse , / keybord no mouse but maby thats 10 years away.


Interestingly and not so unsurprisingly the whole "Still using something that is fairly shitty way of doing things but it works" is mirrored all the time in the progression biological evolution.

Sarzy is such a soft touch. I would have put him on a cross, for no other reason that to institute the religion of siftology with Ponceleon as our savior.
(but then I'm a total sift-nazi motherfucker, so I guess that says more about me.)

Hey, this happens to me alla time, sometimes I see a word or phrase, and begin ranting and raving, only to find that I have gulled myself, my ramblings associatively inspired by my own, impeccable sensibilities and morality.

Suggestion?? Before applying the litmus test of your "ideal" paradigm, check behind the curtain hanging in the direction of the pipe organ.....we're all suckered by the soft touch sometimes, check the driver's license;
