Because PeeWee would use a word like fora, drive a Stude with
disintegrating tires, and masturbate in a public place?

Evolving implies moving forward. Rolling back how society functions

At least you admit your ignorance and that you engage in ad hominem.
However, the exchange began because I mentioned the negative consquences
of under posted speed limits.

Well, it appears you have admitted you have no redeaming qualities. There
is only but one thing left to do. I think you know what that is.

It's a group full of idiots, as you correctly pointed out.
misc.transport.road is much better.

Not at all. I think PCness in all forms is bull****, and I agree that
there is a difference between men and women and anyone who tries to take
"equality" to an extreme and insist that we're all exactly the same is
probably a little confused itself.

HOWEVER... when I stumble on a fresh thread and the first reply I see
invokes ass-kicking, well, I'm pretty much automatically siding with the
other guy. That was weak back in high school, and hasn't gotten any
better with age. Most people realize that once they're out in the Real
World(tm) that a) kicking someone's ass generally has unpleasant
consequences, so you don't do it and b) there's always someone bigger or
badder out there, or worse yet someone that knows some badass martial
art that'll be willing to stand up to your ****.

Most of the people I know over the age of 18 that would actually say
that with a straight face are on probation for something or other.

Twin-I-Beam front suspension and the Mustang II.

No, the exchange began when you interjected your personal

I sure do. I need to go put my 12-gauge in the car. god forbid one
of you rad freaks crosses my path and rants at me for some imagined
traffic faux pas, and I am without the means to decapitate your empty
head on the spot.

So, are you taking steps to eliminate the PC mindset in our society?
Has it dawned upon you that those who espouse that crap are the ones
fostering repressive legislation?

Uh, nerdlike critter, since we are all in a written media,
"ass-kicking" is a reference to verbal combat. You *have* been trying
to kick mine. Get it?

Brand loyalty. A concept that, if still as strong as it was in the
60's, would have pretty much put the kaibosh on current foreign-induced
economic mayhem. Get it?

Let me remind you that the Ford truck has far outsold anything else
even remotely in its category in all automotive history, and the Twin
I-Beam was a major contributing factor. Hmm, let's review Stude
trucks...OK done.

Actually, I do have a true driving story involving the fast lane and

I'll tell you this, nate. Being on the Internet for over 10 years
now has done a lot to keep me focused on not adopting some of the
characteristics that I don't care for in other people. While my Usenet
entity has been over-the-top at times, the common misconception that I
should be a pansy in Real Life is fallacy. Sometimes, people really are
not *that* far off from what they write. Right?

Real men have no need or desire to "man up" (whatever that means) or
kick people's asses just for disagreeing with them.

Use of phrases like that expose you for the pussy you are.

BTW, you're one of the biggest whiners to visit this group in a long
time (SADDAM excepted, of course).
