Wow, what a moron. Why the hell did he Jump like that?


Jumping wastes time... Reminds me of what almost happened to me today... But instead, the man was driving an Altima...

Is anybody asking why Americans aren't buying American cars?

Yes and no. US car sales aren't as horrible as people make it out to be, as far as I can tell. I personally don't like modern US cars, but a lot of people forget there's been US hybrid trucks for about eight years now. Plus, we sell a lot of cargo trucks too:

"The F-150 attracted 473,933 buyers this year, making it the No. 1-selling vehicle for 2008--it's been the best-selling vehicle in America for 27 years running. Another 431,725 buyers drove off Chevrolet lots in a Silverado."


Here's a list of the top 10 selling cars in the US: (from Bloomberg)

1 - Ford F-150
2 - Chevrolet Silverado
3 - Toyota Camry
4 - Honda Civic
5 - Honda Accord
6 - Toyota Matrix
7 - Nissan Altima
8 - Chevy Impala
9 - Dodge Ram
10 - Ford Focus

So that's five of the top ten, with numbers 1 and 2 being American cars.

Honda, Toyota and Nissan have all received massive federal funding and tax incentives in the last 15 years. We're talking $500million+ for each company. Talk about "socialism". It's OK to give them cash, but not our own?

And what is the purpose of a union?

Wow, really?

It's an incredibly dark, fucked up story. Once read, you'll understand why they're not just purposeful, but also required due to humanities dark nature to enslave eachother.

I've got an answer from the ID side of things...VQ35DE. That's the engine code that Nissan used for an engine that has been put in pretty much half or more of all of their cars (Altima, Maxima, Quest, 350Z, Murano, etc). God is like Nissan. Why create something from scratch when you've got a lot of the most important parts right there? Tweak this, tweak that, fuse these two do-hickies together, and ShaZAM!! There are strong sides to both, but I ask, what do I lose from believing in ID? It's retarded to say that believing in ID means that we wouldn't have all the medical break-throughs. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I don't think that willing cadavers (when they weren't dead yet) should be cut up and examined. We are told to be fruitful...that includes learning. You believe in your theory, I'll believe in mine.
