Cry me a river.

I couldn't care less if the guy that just stole my car stereo has a hard time in jail.

IMO minor crime should be treated like baseball. You get 3 strikes and then you're out. If you're not stealing for food you're a selfish scumbag and society would be far better off without you.

(and of course violent crime has no place in modern society at all, and I know there's cases which aren't black and white, but many cases are, video evidence and everything, if we at least got rid of the people who without a doubt violently assaulted someone, then we'd be better off...

You only have to watch a few videos on the Active Self Protection channel to see how many people are just straight up scum, and it's little wonder the police in the US are trigger happy - there's piles of videos where people just straight out fire at the police when asked to show their license)

So now I am curious about this, based on the title.

So they have these safari parks right, where you drive your own car between the animals. So based on that I would imagine the car would be safe from lions.

But when I just think about it, and about how much stronger such animals are than humans, I would expect the window to break if a lion pounces at it. It would shatter of course, so it would immediately confuse a big predator, but if it is dedicated enough to get really angry at the driver (maybe if the car stereo would be blaring Britney Spears or something like that, really pissing of the lion), that car window would only be a very minor stoppage for the lion's attack?

Want want want want WANT!!!
That is literally the grooviest car stereo accessory ever!
*promote some awesome old school tunes. I wonder how it does when the car is moving.

I have an hour long commute by car to get to work, and again to get back home. But I chose the commute to, as said in the video, own my own home and be able to get a bigger home than I would have had I bought closer to work.

Here's why I don't consider it stressful...

I work 12 hours four days a week, so that's one less day I need to commute. I also have the luxury of being able to work from home two of those days.

On the days I do have to go in, half of the drive is back country roads which I often get to myself. I find a nice country road quite soothing to drive on. And the half of the commute spent on city motorways I reduced the stress on by upgrading to a car that does a lot of the driving for me. I set the top speed I want to go and the car takes care of the accelerating and braking and keeping in the lanes.

I load up the car stereo with audio books and have a nice relaxing drive to and from the office. Now the most stressful part of the journey is having to get up at 5am. Which really does suck.

As a youth and young adult installing monster car stereos and going to heavy metal concerts, this is not a thing I need or want to test. I know my hearing is shit.

I can listen to anything but "hardcore gangsta rap". I feel it was created to test huge car stereo systems and developed delusions of grandeur.

I owned a car stereo install shop for about 15 years. People would come to me and ask how to make sure their car didn't get stolen. Every time, I'd tell them, "sell it and take the bus".

The object of car "security" is to make the thief go on to lower hanging fruit. If someone wants your "you've-paid-huge-money-to-make-virtually-impregnable" '86 Civic, they'll wait for you to approach it, put a knife to your throat (this being in Canada) and take your keys. To quote W.O.P.R. "The only winning move is not to play."

I used to work for a car stereo place. I question I always got, "How can I make sure my stereo doesn't get stolen from my car?"

My answer always was, "Don't have one installed."

Haha, Me too..., Cranked on the car stereo.
They were awesome when I saw them in concert too.

Call me old fashioned (I'm up there in age but not as old as "Gramps"), but I just don't understand this shit. What is so wonderful about vibrating your entire car to the point of not understanding one friggin' word or anything else music related with the song you are playing? I enjoy a bit of heavy bass with the music of my choice, but that crap completely ruins the "enjoyment" part for me.

Then you have never listened to Drum and Bass.
I agree, for most genres so much bass just outright sucks, but with DnB, its heaven.
I know the problem of that because I listen to normal electronic music and DnB. I would need completely different subwoofers and enclosure for it to sound well with the other electronic music, but with DnB it sounds fantastic.

Dude, this guy's car stereo couldn't possibly sound good no matter what you're putting through it. His windows and doors and the panels and the entire damn frame of the car are vibrating and rattling and drowning out whatever the speakers are supposed to be putting out.


Any car would with so much power. That doesnt mean he would use all that power all the time. If I turn my volume up it sounds like crap too, but I only use it rarely at full volume.

If you pay for these services, then you have a right to them. Are you implying I should suck it up and not call the fire department if my house catches fire because I think taxation is theft? Even though the money has already been stolen from me to fund that service? Lunacy.

Again, the problem here is that it undercuts the whole idea that it's theft. The guy who stole my car stereo actually stole from me. He took something that was mine, and never compensated me for it.

If there was actually a sign in front of the parking lot that said "We will take the car stereo out of cars parked here, but in return we'll pay your medical bills", and I parked there anyway, are they really stealing from me?

If I accuse him of stealing from me for years, and then when I get sick I come to him and say "hey, you agreed to pay my medical bills in return for that stereo I paid you", doesn't it mean I was wrong to call him a thief in the first place?

My answer to you is that if being forced to buy Verizon cell service for $150 is a condition of renting an apartment, working a job, or living in a particular country, and you don't want to enter into the agreement, don't rent the apartment, accept the job, or stay in the country. That's your right.

To insist that you have the right to rent the apartment, accept the job, or live in the country, and not live up to the rest of the obligations that go with the offer...well, some might call that stealing.

Rand may have said that, but it's really not outright theft. It's redistribution of wealth. You take money from everyone and give it back in alloted sizes.

You are forced to pay them, this lack of choice is what makes people call it theft - "They take my money by force". But we do get something back, such as aid, social security etc. etc.

Ayn Rand may have thought it was theft, but she still payed the piper and since she did, she could not afford to pay for her cancer treatment herself, so the piper gave back as he should. Had she not been coerced to pay the tax, I very much doubt she would have taken money back. Or at least morally, she would certainly not be clear to do so.

An outright thief stealing your car stereo is doing something different than the IRS, because the IRS is legal, this means that taxation essentially is a contract that you are forced into and that they are bound to.

Bleh, this is far more effort than I wanted to put into it. My point is that I don't think it's hypocritical to accept goods from the government even if you are against big government. It's just stupid to not accept the good for your payment.
