where's the THRILL in driving?

  1. Nope. It's because most Americans, especially those in
    the "heartland", are undisciplined and juvenile. They
    wrongly subscribe to a pernicious creed: If a little
    of something is good, then a lot must be great. That's
    fundamentally stupid thinking, but most Americans
    believe it.

    If you go to France and Italy, you just don't see
    people who are 150-200 pounds overweight. You will not
    see people looking like this:

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! Only Americans are susceptible to
    this atrocious tendency to morbid obesity. Not even
    Germans look like this, although there are some big
    Germans. Germans are stout; American "heartlanders"
    are vile, disgusting, morbidly obese blowpigs.

    Europeans and a small minority of smart, *discplined*
    and mature Americans prefer to eat well, not eat a lot.

    "If you go to France and Italy, you just don't see people who are 150-200
    pounds overweight"
    Um, wrong.
    "Only Americans are susceptible to this atrocious tendency to morbid
    obesity"
    Again, no.

    With ever rising national debt the government has come to the
    conclusion, that this is not only money they need to throw into
    different pits, but that there is also a possibility to declare this
    tax relief to be a subvention for something that is not desirable for
    the general public, as people living in their own, 1 or 2-story houses
    consume more space and energy than people living in a rented flat in a
    bigger house. To declare the coming cuts they kind of pushed forward the
    environment minister. ;-^

  4. Uhhhhhhhhh...RIGHT. You don't find blowpigs in Italy
    or France who are 150-200 pounds (or more) overweight,
    the way you COMMONLY find them in the U.S., land of
    undisciplined gluttons.
    Again...YES. I am right.

    The only other people in the world who look like that
    are Japanese and Hawaiian sumo wrestlers.

    You're a moron.

    Pigs eat a lot and anything...just as most Americans do...
    I remember last Summer at a baseball game, there was a group of american
    kids 6 or 7 yo. More than half of them were way overweighted. I bet most of
    them would be dead after 5 minutes of any sport activity.
    In Europe, people eat a lot byt they prefer home cooked meals to the fast
    food

    I can just remember the little Dutch Grannij (!), rubber bands wound tight
    in the DAF66 clipping the front of my friend's Lotus Europa, careening
    across the pavement towards the supermarket door, and then the brake lights
    going on!

    I agree... so, bottom line, what is keeping you from moving to any
    country in the world? I can understand that you may not have the money
    right now to up and move, but are you planning for your future and
    saving so you can move?

    Basically, you whine and whine, but what are you doing to improve your
    life so that you will be happier?

    And on a lighter note, what kind of car do you drive? Just wondering
    since these post are being cross posted in automotive groups. See if we
    can't at least make one newsgroup happy.

    Well, size wise there isn't a big difference between the DAF and a shopping
    cart. So, was the turn intentional or a mistake? Did she flip your friend

    Too many words and numbers in the references I gave? You are so ignorant,

    Use the facts to come to a conclusion, not your imagination.
    BTW How high is tax in Sweden? I bet you don't have a clue!

    You need to pay high healthcare in order to create high paying job
    who
    will embrace and love and support the sytem. They are taking out your
    money out
    to make them a great place here at your expense.

    You don't pay high in SWeden or Norway or Denmark or any place in
    Europea
    becuase they are not ultra-capitalist society. YOu are just too
    stupid
    to realize you are being rip off and pay ridiculous high cost of
    Healthcare
    while they doing the terrible service no which service you are so
    freedom
    to choose. All healthcare system in US is run by the same
    ultra-capitalism profit the bottom line system. You can't beat it no
    matter which providers you go, and you get the same serivice.

    And you have to happy or they will kick your ass.


    I love socialism in Sweden!
    I love socialism in Swizerland
    I love socialism in Norway!
    I love socialism in Denmark!
    I love socialism in Franch!
    I don't love socialism of 1984 animal farm that only socialism you
    know it.
    The book is not even real. It's fiction. Only the idotic fat-ass
    american
    never read non-fiction book. Well what more can I say about such
    fat-ass
    naive, ignorant stupid people of the United State of America?

    It's shame to be one of this fat-ass idiot.


    Oh England is not that socialist nation compare to Sweden or
    Swissland,
    and England doing much worst than Sweden or Swissland.

    I'm not sorry to make my point clearly and logically.
    Thanks for you read my posting.

  19. This is not your "I hate America platform." Please try and keep it jeep like

    You know, make posts like "why fat ass Americans make the right sides of
    your jeeps leaf springs sag" or something like that.

  20. Check this out: www.taxpayer.com/Facts/International_Tax_Comparisons.pdf

    Sweden is the second most heavily taxed country ... behind Denmark and
    well ahead of the US which comes in 11th. Sweden's tax burden as a
    percentage of GDP is 50% higher than the US and Denmark is roughly twice
    as high.

    This is why we can afford to eat and drive cars! Which is about the
    only relevance this thread has to any of these ngs.
