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.
LUTZ, YOU TASTELESS ****ING MORON!!

It's been time for decades to wean american males off their
overpowered
penis substitutes in cars and boats.
Like lobster boats?
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.


Amazing WAFA reply to boatless jps. Delicious!


What's delicious is how you stick your nose is other folk's sweaty
assholes. And, I have a boat silly ****.


What is a 'boat silly ****'.

Did he mean, 'I have a boat-silly ****'?

Did he mean, 'I have a boat, silly ****'?

Did he mean, 'I have a boat silly, ****?

These references to 'delicious' gay sex must be for the benefit of
Donnie and Harry,

I am surprised that people with *any* sense of decorum will even
converse with this guy.

I think you are delusional if you don't think there are just as many
nut

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.


Oh, that's an excellent argument filled with rich historical fact and
subtle nuance. Thanks for digging so deep into your intellectual
resources for the thoughtful response.

Silly ****ing ****.


Kruger spends too much time lurking in dark, skanky holes waiting for young
girls to pass so he can harass them. .

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


Could you furnish any facts, information, cites, or studies to back that up?

I thought not.

Why is that Johnny..are you strangely excited by the so called..gay talk'?


Having nothing more than drivel to offer, he attacks my grammar.


Johnny's excited by having at Librals, just like I'm excited by having
at idiots. *I have him plonked, not worth the time.


Silly old ****.


Which is really funny, since both Herring and his wife have been sucking
at the taxpayers' teat for their jobs and benefits most of their lives
and, as everyone knows, "guv'mint" is a "libral" concept.- Hide quoted text -

I know you have nothing but disdain for anyone who's served to keep
your sorry fat ass safe, but John has earned his way by doing just
that. If I recall correctly, his wife still works and it's with a
private entity.

Mencken famously stated ""No one ever went broke underestimating

taste of the American public."
GM has proven him wrong.

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.
LUTZ, YOU TASTELESS ****ING MORON!!
I WOULDN'T HIRE YOU TO CUT BAIT!!
--Vic
It's been time for decades to wean american males off their
overpowered
penis substitutes in cars and boats.
Like lobster boats?
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.

Amazing WAFA reply to boatless jps. Delicious!
What's delicious is how you stick your nose is other folk's sweaty
assholes. And, I have a boat silly ****.
What is a 'boat silly ****'.

Did he mean, 'I have a boat-silly ****'?

Did he mean, 'I have a boat, silly ****'?

Did he mean, 'I have a boat silly, ****?

These references to 'delicious' gay sex must be for the benefit of
Donnie and Harry,

I am surprised that people with *any* sense of decorum will even
converse with this guy.

Did he earn a pension? Is it too much to hope for that it'll get
taken away like what happens in the "free market?"



Federal pensions...both safe.


Why should the government be obligated to protect pensions when the
"free market" isn't? Shouldn't government operate just like the free
market?

Why should an old cocksucker who hates goverment be protected by same?
