Does it really have to do with taste?
Just depends on how you define taste.
As in, "Not enough Americans have a taste for GM vehicles."
What got to me thinking about this was I saw a Bob Lutz interview
on TV.
Seemed like a reasonable guy.
So I looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"When Lutz became chairman of GM North American development in 2001
one of the first things he stated was that his new 500 hp car was
going to save General Motors. His full compensation in 2008 is
estimated at $6.9 million."
And this:
"He will retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one reason
for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in Washington
that would force him to design what Federal regulators wanted, rather
than what customers wanted."
That is what I mean by "taste."
Lutz and the others running GM were complete fools.
Gonna save GM with 500 hp car.
Gonna give the customers what they want.
Sorry, close your ears. *I have to say this.

Krause sure does seem to have more than his share of penis
substitutes. Even if some of them are imaginary.

That you have any purpose is imaginary.

The only photo FloridaJim ever posted publicly that "claimed" ownership
of a boat showed a decrepit I/O hulk from the 1980s or early 1990s that
looked as if it had served as a roadside home for roaches and raccoons..

My guess is that he was mustered out of the Navy at some point, and that
service "servicing" his shipmates was the high point of his miserable
like. Afterwards, he pretended to be a boat repair handyman.

Would you please learn to punctuate properly. Your work is unreadable.

Penis substitutes? *Would that explain the Hatteras and the Zimerman-
like lobster boat?

He said the same thing about people who owned handguns.
I said that people who owned handguns were more likely to take their
own lives. *Do you fit that description?
Two points:
1. *I was not discussing you or even talking to you, I was discussing
the person who stated those who owned handguns were using them due to
them having a very small penis. * You might have said, it, but I never
heard you say it, Harry said it everyday, till the day he purchased a
handgun.
2. *I don't own a handgun, never have. *I have no problem if handguns
have increased regulations or completely banned. * I really don't have a
problem if we leave the law the way it is. * *I completely agree that in
most cases handguns are used against the handgun owner (by a criminal
who takes the gun away from them), or they use the gun to kill
themselves. *Based upon Harry's behavior, and I would think the odds are
he will eventually use his handgun to harm himself, or he will go postal
at the local mall, but I don't think banning guns will result in
criminals or mentally unstable individuals turning in their handguns.
It will just make selling them very profitable for organized crime.

Lefties aren't the ones who go postal. *We realize we can't control
everything arounds us, unlike righties.

Good for you that you're not among the paranoid nuts, at least on this
subject.

AND the fireboat welcome!

Read a book as a kid. There was a guy in England who decided to cruise
what he had, which was a fol-bot. a big suitcase that comes out of
your car trunk and turns into a wood frame canvas boat. He cruised it
to San Francisco. $1.86 to go through the Ditch. He rated a one
fireboat welcome in Frisco, but nobody knew he was coming. And some
think West coast to Hawaii is bragworthy.

Utter bull****. In most cases handguns are never used in anger. 99% of
them. Your 'most cases' falls in the 1 %. A guy once pulled a knife on
me and demanded money. I pulled a .45 and told him to run. He did.
Had he tried to ' use it against me' I would have shot him several
times. Back in the bin.

Casady

You're much better off listening to Krause. He never bull****s. He
went to Yale, you know.

Reggie may have been talking about handgun deaths, not the handguns
themselves.

Tens of millions of handgun owners, a few thousand suicides. Many
people are math challenged. Are you?

Casady

I don't care how many are owned. It's how they're used.

A large percentage of use is against the owner or immediate family.

Bull****.

I think you are delusional if you don't think there are just as many nut
cases who profess to be on the right of left.

Mental illness has no restrictions.
Nutcases and postal are two different things.

Righties go postal.

May I point you to Wichita?
The man who killed JFK, Lee Oswald, was far enough left to move to the
USSR. He came back and killed the Prez. Within a day a right wing
nut, Jack Ruby, killed him. Scum come in all flavors. The nuts have
been working on the why of it ever since.

Casady

Richard, most of the violence we've seen in this country for the last
100 years comes from the right.

Oswald and Ruby were driven by far more than politics.

Just keeping making this **** up, moron. Donnie aside, no one here is
dumb enough to believe it.
