So i got 78% on my learners test

for a car liscence and passed, and i didn't study one single bit. Kinda makes you wonder what kinda people they let on the roads these days. A car is a potentially lethal weapon, and they're letting almost anyone get behind the wheel.

 

everyone should ride bicycles

 

I got run over by a bike once

 

hey you can go take my drivers test. It was roughly 40 to 60 questions per unit and there was 5 units.

 

i'm a greatt driivrer

 

As long as you can drive better than you can spell.

 

i'm kindddda drunk



';d

 

Hah, fair enough. Since we can blame your lack of spelling prowess on the booze, that means you can drive good. Wanna nip down to the shops and get me a pack of dunhill blues and a six pack of stella?

 

i aints drivng nowwehere and nowhere is open now to buy the booze

 

No 24 hour bottle-os in MA? What a pathetic excuse for a state.

 

liqour stores close at 11pm....bars close down at 2am...lame, yes - its very lame. if they stayed open, they'd be getting more of my money right now

 

Is that a state law, or are they all just shit?

 

state law....they just got rid of the fucking blue law which said we couldnt buy booze on sundays....

 

That's ridiculous. ...Is MA in the Bible Belt? That's the only reason i could fathom for such.. such.. words fail to describe it. Blasphemy comes close, though. There would probably be riots if they tried to implement bullshit like that in Melbourne.

 

bible belt? no, not even close. shit. i consider PA the deep south....

but we do have laws from when the pilgrims landed, which means there old and outdated

 

I'm getting an SUV with a bullbar and a bumper sticker that reads: "Don't ban bullbars, ban stupid pedestrians" and it's going to be shit hot.

 

Oh, i plan to. My exhaust will be so phat it will need two lanes. My subwoofer will be so banging that Jenna Jameson will stop and gawk in awe, and my 6x9's will make such a noise that Sleek from Fat Pizza will get all his lebo cousins down to try and steal it, only to be foiled by the large gat in my hand.

 

this says something about government priorities and cultural values.
if you want to get eveyone to immagine the're free by indenturing themselves to buy one, then these little concessions on the side are part of the game.

and then you licence liquoer by the glass in places where there's just no other way to get to and back then by car and the're ain't no way you're not gonna have drunks on the road, occasionaly running into each other or someone else.

bikes are good for short distances on relatively level ground. relatively level ground is usualy someplace that was once and would have been good for agriculture and not neccessarily the best of places to build population centers.

all of which, aside from my love of the aesthetics of the concept, is why i advocate 'chordless' ultra-lightrail (meaning verry narrow gauge/small form factor, about equivelant to a streatched minivan, multiple unit, stored energy, or otherwise noncombustion propelled) 'minitrams'.

electric two wheelers are of course cool too.

certainly people ought to be able, if that's their pleasure, to anesthasize themselves, in a way that is safe to do so. and people who for other reasons, often no fault of their own, who really ought not to be driving, need mobility just as much as people who can and are in a condition, to drive safely.

there is just too much of priorities that are based on not looking beyond oneself, especialy at decision making levels, but else where in society as well, everyone is influenced to a degree by everyone else's examples.

i do belive that certain conditions will, are already perhapse in the process, evolve into such combinations as will force people to re-think a lot of priorities they've taken for granted all of their lives.

but i also believe we don't really have to wait to be forced to.

although the weight of collective priorities and the consiquences of them, are granted, a reality of what currently exists.

so yes we are stuck at this point in time with the car. but energy and transportation policy that makes it that way and keeps it that way are maybe not such a really wonderful good idea.

We will be stuck with cars untill it becomes ecconomically unviable to use them. Then there will be a "sudden" breakthrough in technology and electricity powered cars will be on the market for all.

*edit* sorry if that seems like an odd statement, themnax, i did read your whole post, but i'm fairly retarded right now, and only the last paragraph registered.

 

well don't feel too bad. i think i'm among the "humor challanged" half the time.
