Welcome to our world. Christian's outside of the recent American fundamentalist fad have to be tarred with the same brush as them. We're not allowed to say

"Christians aren't like that. Christians are like x, y, and z."

because it's not true. Nope, we've got to swallow it. All we can say is "Hey, we're not all like that." which is as wimpy as it sounds.
If atheists want to be honest, that's all they can say, too.

If anything, "we're not all like that" probably applies even more to us (atheists) than the religious. Religions tend to come with centrally-distributed dogma, leading the followers of any one religion to hold similar, if not identical, views and opinions. There are certainly positions which tend to be widely held among atheists, but there is no central authority steering us and so I think we have conflicting views and opinions more often.

Let's be clear, atheists have NO agenda. Atheists would prefer to be quiet on the subject....

I don't have a CDL license, but I used to drive semi trucks on back roads for my family farm, so I'll take a stab at a couple of the question/comments here.
>> ^sadicious:

How does it turn at an intersection?
This is a fair bit different from the trucks and trailers I've seen, but I've personally been at the wheel of a double trailer and seen quite a few triple trailers. In either case, I was quite surprised at how well the successive trailers track the path of the semi cab itself and the trailer in front of it. I could actually take corners sharper in a double trailer than with a standard long single trailer. So, I bet that this thing can take a fairly standard wide semi-turn and each trailer will follow almost exactly the same track as the one in front of it.

Backing up would be pretty much impossible, although I felt that way about the double trailer I drove and some of the more seasoned hands than mine could back it through a course around obstacles with seemingly relative ease. I've even seen veterans do the same with triple trailers, which just blows my mind.
>> ^mxxcon:

i'm surprised that wimpy truck could pull so many
Note that all of the trailers were empty! A standard semi with a single grain hopper trailer like my family farm used would weigh about 23-25,000 pounds empty, with a bit higher empty weight for a double/triple trailer. The limit on total weight for any such a rig in the US is around 82,000 pounds (with some more specific regulations on weight per axle, etc.) so you can legally haul a bit under 60,000 pounds of cargo. On back dirt roads with very very rare vehicle inspection, sometimes we would try to cram a trailer full and ignore the weight limits.

Most of our hopper trailers could get up to around 92,000 lbs for semi plus trailer if we did that, but the double trailer I drove on occasion could sometimes top 105,000 lbs.

My guess is that the truck in the video is hauling about all the weight that it can handle in empty trailers, and once they get loaded with sugarcane (I think?, from the tags) the 10 trailers get divvied up between either 5 or 10 trucks. They might not have weight limit regulations, or they might not be enforced. Without any weight limit laws, or lax enforcement, people will tend to load to the maximum their trucks can handle.

Yes, I think our government's non-violent, non-lethal approach to tax evasion is wimpy. Death penalty to all tax evaders!>> ^blankfist:

Here, you've all asked me a number of questions, let me ask all of you one. Do you believe goods and services should be offered by force under the threat of violence or death?

>> ^Entropy001:

It's amazing that the engine doesn't crash. I wonder how they organized it?


it's not the same wimpy engine as 5 years ago
if you listen to the guy, you'll hear he said "that's what you get for randomly rolling the 1st server in the list" or something like that..

[redacted]

proof?
ok..lets use the same anecdotal evidence you used from the very SAME interview.

notice anything that may ADD to what you posted?
would you like me to post the senate hearings from c-span while those companies involved all try to pass the buck?
would you like me to also post the comparisons of regulations comparing the countries in the north atlantic with the USA?
or the fines over the past ten years levied against haliburton for similar malfeasance?
would you like me to spoon feed this to you?


listen man.
you want to believe this was all just a small random quirky accident that nothing or nobody could have stopped..well,that is your choice.
but dont come to the table with that flimsy flaccid thing you call an argument,because it is small,wimpy and weak.
the next time you want to spout off do a bit of leg work so you dont get tagged in the nose.
you have a right to your opinion but not to your own facts.
and the fact is:BP used political influence to avoid having to keep safety standards by having regulations thrown out the window.the result of this was 11 dead and whole communities and eco-systems wasted.
so you call this a random freak accident.
well..sure.you are correct..
BUT if BP had been forced to be inspected every month and haliburton had to keep strict production values.
FOUR failsafes would have never failed.
at least not all of them at the same time.
and then...using your anecdotal premise...look at how the BP manager dealt with the destroyed rubber.
so you are right about the freakishness of the events but EACH one was due to malfeasance on BP's part.
why?
greed and profit.

It's all that coke that's causing it, not the pepper. But what a wimpy sneeze, sounds like a faulty pig!

Nice find

Pretty nifty, although I'm gonna demand the same awesomeness from my kid that I performed myself. Learned to cycle with the first try without any wimpy training wheels!

Although poverty seems to be a thread here, a lot of the evidence also leads to youth just being arogant and disrespectful of the people and country that have taken them in a immagrants. Here is some of what I found:

VIOLENT MUSLIM RIOTS IN SWEDEN

Muslim youth riots in Sweden

http://www.healinguniverse.com/2005/11/muslim-youth-riots-in-sweden.htm


Quotes of Muslim youth from an interview by Petra Åkesson for her thesis in sociology:
http://centurean2.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/muslim-rape-epidemic-puts-sweden-at-top-of-euro-rape-statistics-peace-in-europe-surrender/

“Power for me means that the Swedes shall look at me, lie down on the ground and kiss my feet.” The boys explain, laughingly, that “there is a thrilling sensation in your body when you’re robbing; you feel satisfied and happy; it feels as if you’ve succeeded; it simply feels good.”

“It’s so easy to rob Swedes, so easy. We rob every single day, as often as we want to, whenever we want to.” The immigrant youth regard the Swedes as stupid and cowardly: “The Swedes don’t do anything; they just give us the stuff. They’re so wimpy.”

The young robbers do not plan their crimes: “No, we just see some Swedes that look rich or have nice mobile phones and then we rob them.”


Please feel free to post any further arguments to what I found, I looked for some reports that sided with the youth but couldn’t find any. I realy would like some more personal “first hand,” oppinions on these envents.

wimpy fragile cry baby soccer players

wimpy fragile soccer pussies.

I like how the pussy soccer players reaction is to throw himself to the ground. usually they do that in hope that the referee is fooled, but it makes no sense now when the referee himself is the one who touched him in the face.

my absolute least favourite part of the soccer game is this, what i call italian style acting. some other soccer player hurt your feelings? grab your face, scream, and throw yourself to the ground. like a little 4 year old.
