But useless trivia is awesomely useless.

I'm pretty sure, after a half second of thinking, that the Mustang is named after a horse.

If you can fit it into your tight schedule, you could dedicate another half-second to coming to the conclusion the P-51 was probably named after said horse.

But hey, who has that kind of time? It's easier just to fire off some shit on the interweb.

While, yes, California did basically carry the election for Obama, the Governator is a Republican. In case you haven't noticed, he has tossed around a fair share of retarded bills. Repeated FAILS of legislation against violent video games anyone?

They don't even have evidence of animals dying from lead poisoning, its just their eviro-religion that causes them to think that way.

Do you have any evidence to backup your points that can somehow legitimately refute years and years of scientific research? Regardless of your views on anything, what is the crime of trying to make people's lives better through a healthier environment?

Go read a book.

Also, eco-fucksticks convinced the government of North Dakota to throw out thousands of pounds of donated venison that low-income people because lead-bullet fragments were found in them. Meanwhile, a 5-year study concluded that those who eat meat shot with lead have THE SAME lead levels in their body as anyone else! SO. What the fuck. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

Finally, its called cost/benefit ratio. If thousands of people are going to die every year from diseases transfered by misquitos in nations that have a problem with them, it is in their best interest to kill said misquitos and worry about the long-term/latent effects of DDT later, because THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE aren't dying anymore and can now do other things besides fight easily preventable diseases.

Stop watching that bullshit-Story of Stuff video. It neglects dozens of facts, skews statistics off the fucking charts and flat-out LIES TO YOU. Here is a brilliant critque of said Story of Stuff, and this time it has facts, not unsubstantiated socialist propaganda.

I will spend my time on people who don't have their head that far up their ass.

I hate politics discussions on car sites...

I think you actually need to read my post. Nowhere did I say that we should excessively consume things that are harmful to us. jark said he wanted to drink lead-free water and I pointed out that that is not possible. But like the liberal that you are, you twist the truth into a lie and then state it as fact. I have been thru out the world and I will tell you that the vast a large portion is a toxic wasteland create by totalitarian statist who thinking is not much different than yours. You have called me an idiot several times and I am sure as a liberal you have deep emotional issues which do not allow you react in a normal way with people, so I will just pity you.

Remember it is the totalitarian statist who will not allow others to have differing view points on life. I guess if you had the means at your disposal you would force everyone around you into groupthink, because that is the nature of a totalitarian. Well friend I guess you think your pleased as the liberals take over, but remember the liberal does not like to be confined by the rule of law and so as it denigrates into the rule of whatever, you will think have your wish and then you will really howl when your thoughts don't match the thoughts of the despot ruling over you.

Interesting that you accuse me of twisting statements, considering that that is basically how you started this thread. You made this into a completely irrelevant political argument.

Your initial statement was an insult to "liberals" for banning lead weights. Have you actually tried educating yourself on an issue before you argue a point? Mostly in the interest of time, and staving off my own boredom, I will link the first article I found on the issue:

[reviews.cnet.com]

"According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), about 65,000 tons of lead wheel weights are in use on cars and trucks in the U.S., and it is estimated that at least 3 percent of wheel weights fall off of cars and trucks. USGS states that the discarded wheel weights are ground by traffic and the particles are dispersed by wind and rain, eventually finding their way into the water supply. By the CEH's estimates, an annual 500,000 pounds of lead are introduced into California alone due to lost wheel weights."

Be careful. This references studies conducted by actual scientists (probably those dirty liberals, OMG!!)

Your willful ignorance on issues you establish such vehement opinions on will make your life very amusing to others, so I will just pity you.

 Reply

If the cars are performing in the manner that Wes and Ray have been singing about, then they have been doing them with the wheel weights in there. So if we acknowledge that they are great-handling cars, why do we care?

 Reply

Many cars require no major maintenance until 100k miles!

Jezebel is two blocks down on the right. You can't miss it.

And the ladies there are totally low maintenance.

If so, good call. You're probably right.
