I'll miss you kids when school starts back up. :(

No really. You're better than everyone else ;) .

I know you're just taking the moral highroad by calling me out on how mean and nasty my post was, but you're deafly silent whenever those mean and nasty posts happen to side with you. I guess when there's no real substance to what you have to say, you take what you can get. Little one-liner jabs and quoted "Fixed" posts are gems in your situation, seeing as how they account for such a substantial amount of your posts and seamingly account for your entire repertoire.

Face it guy: you're just one of those assholes on the road that the rest of us are talking about, and this whole thing got your panties in a twist. Since you can't argue with logic and reasoning, you attack the delivery. If that's all ya got, that's fine. Just know that it's quite transparent ;) .

So I guess as long as we agree with you, we don't have to be little choir boys... unless of course that's your thing...

A sound investment

The funny thing is that you are so predictable. You want to critisize someone for actively participating in a discussion - call them obsessed or whathaveyou - but you absolutely fail to recognize your own level of involvement. The truth of the matter is that you care just as much as the guy you're talking to, or you wouldn't still be sitting there.

But hey, tell yourself that it's for your own "amusement" or whatever. It will help you sleep at night ;) .

Remember this cardinal rule though: if the guy comes back to the thread to defend his arguments, he's "pathetic". If he doesn't come back, then it's because "he knows he's wrong".

It's a win-win for you!!!

I got an endless supply of shovels, so keep on digging, Nancy! :lips:

You've got an endless supply of something...

Work is over. Later. In all seriousness, you really do need some help bro. You honestly seem to think you're special and unique. I don't want to be the one to break the news to ya (okay, maybe I do a little :evil: ), but... well, you know the rest ;) .

its also funny how you stereo type wiggers and soccer moms as the only drivers that generally dont give a shyt and dont use their blinkers. Ive seen black, white, wiggers, non wiggers, mixed race, asians, japanese, chinese, soccer moms, single moms, single dads, computer geeks, your slutty sister driving with 6 of her slutty friends, ur old grandparents, gay guys, gay girls, rich people, poor people and alot more that cannot drive. DOnt single out two races/types of people when you know damn well theres people of every race and type that cannot drive, i'm sure your not a perfect driver either but by your logic your either a wigger or a gay guy that drives a van and acts like a soccer mom (since your not a female), which is it? Because they are the two groups that cannot drive correctly, right?! :p

So the point is, dont throw out general stereotype especially when you even said you didnt EVEN SEE THEM, offend everyone or offend no one at all. I think you were just scared to stereotype two other groups and say "I assume it was some "gangsta blacks" (your stereotype of them for sure after seeing what youve said) or some "greasy italians", yeah thats probably it. So you picked out the two groups your least scared of.

One more thing, I wish I could see you get in a SWEET accident and lose both legs, that would be FSCKING SWEET! ;)

What a jackass! You were excited to see them getting into an accident. When you saw them both merging into the same land you did not know for sure that it was going to be a harmless accident. Someone could easily have been hurt. How hard would it have been for you to honk so they would realize their mistake. I know when I have gotten in near accidents I learn from that experience, I dont have to get in an accident to learn something. Youre ridiculous, if you had the chance to prevent the accident you should have.

You realize that if they didn't get into an accident, they're FAR more likely to do it again, no? I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume jbourne knew it was going to be a harmless accident. From this minor accident, the two dumbasses hopefully learned their lesson, lessening the chances of a more serious accident occuring in the future, where actual injuries may occur.

Might want to think about the situation first. maziwanka, you too.


How can you know its going to be a minor accident? Theres no way you can predict what the drivers are going to do. I know that I dont have to get into an accident to learn my lesson in certain situations. If I get honked at, or I almost get into an accident I realize my mistake and learn from it. If I were in a situation where I could prevent an accident and I didnt, and someone got hurt from it, I would not be able to live with myself.

basically, im saying theres no way he couldve known how serious the accident could have been, other cars could easily have been involved if the two collided and spun out of control. He shouldve tried to prevent it if he was able. I realize that things happen too fast to do anything, but hes making it sound as if he could have prevented it.

So what you're saying is that only Buddhist monks and podiatrists drive defensively? :confused:

It appears punctuation and capitalization was lost on you though.

*everyone* thinks they know how to drive a car. These are usually the people that also swerve really hard to the left prior to making a tight right turn for whatever reason.

I love ABS for those that can't handle panic stops as well.

Problem is, both idiot drivers will blame the other one 100%

After all - *I* am awesome! It's the OTHER GUY who ran into ME!


I've seen all too many idiots like that on the road. Causing all kinds of trouble, driving recklessly and dangerously with callous disregard to anyone or anything - then something happens so they blame everyone else.

One example:

I signalled to leave the right lane and pass a truck that was barely doing the speed limit. A fancy red sports car IGNORED my signal and whipped up from behind and passed me on the left in such a manner that I didn't even notice him when I shoulder-checked. I stopped my lane-change when I noticed a car beside me. :) It really pissed him off though, he and his roughneck straight-out-of-prison-looking passenger. They started jamming on brakes, fingering, staring.... and in the midst of their revenge for MY oh-so-terrible driving, they scraped their wheels against the side of the road, possibly damagin their hubcaps. This only made them madder. They looked like they had every intent to kill me (though I'd done nothing wrong) but fortunately traffic kinda' forced them to drive away from me. Just as well.... they wanted me to come up beside them for some clear threats/insults/damage/shooting(?) When I refused to speed up and fight them, they sped off calling me a pansy. About the only thing I could do was wonder to myself, "why the heck are these people allowed to share the same road, let alone exist in a civilized nation??"


All in all, a good rant. I can only hope the idiots learned a lesson, though I can't help but doubt it. Idiots rarely learn ANYTHING.

I didn't even come close to reading all of the replies in this thread, but I will say that I HATE it when people don't use a blinker when turning or changing lanes. Yeah, you may know you're moving into someone else's lane, but neither they nor the cars behind them do for sure. Really, how hard is it to reach down a few inches, flick the turn signal on for a click or two, and THEN do what you wanted to do.

Same goes for turning...ESPECIALLY if you're making a right hand turn when there isn't a slow-down lane.

A car accident is NEVER sweet!

I think it's sad that you would think two people getting into an accident is "sweet". What if thier accident caused a bigger accident in which innocent people got hurt, including yourself.

What would have been "sweet" is if you honked your horn in hopes of grabbing one of the drivers attention.

I remember watching some animal show that showed how each member of the pack always watched out for each other in case a predator was approaching.

I guess you would be the one that hid behind a tree and did not warn the others something bad was about to go down because you wanted to see something "sweet" happen.
When people bring things on themselves, I have no real sympathy for them.

Looking out for the entire pack is not always a good idea. There are always some members who really should be culled for the good of everyone else.

To further your predator analogy, it's one thing to warn the members of the pack who are minding their own business. It's another thing to try to save the members who go out and poke the sleeping predator with sticks. The first is a good idea. The second is just plain stupid.

ZV

not even getting into the fact that these people weren't "part of his pack"

imo people that act and drive like that are just as good as another species to me. If anything I'm protecting my own by letting them do this stuff

I agree, I hate it when people do NOT use their blinkers and just go in, I also hate it WHEN I USE BLINKERS AND THEY BOX ME IN!

I've also almost been sideswiped many times by minivans during emerging traffic hours. When everyone is pretty much back to back on all lanes but moving at say... 30mph below the limit, still moving. Some stupid lady just turned in to me, I could feel it ahead of time and kept pumping my horn, but she kept going, luckily the SUV to my left noticed and started to move into the sleeve to give me leeway to until that moron would finally realize.

I was SO MAD... now I'm not going to discriminate against the person's ethnic background, however I think there should be some law against driving with facial obstructions on(not talking about sunglasses)..but lets just say...surely it was ruining her peripheral vision, and though it might've been religious or part of her life style, for the sake of safety out on our roads dang it, don't wear a friggin vale that covers your whole friggin face so you can't see next to you!!!
