Seriously I really hope the person peddling this bullshit gets hit by a stupid young giggly girl driving a fu$%^ng Toyota Starlet while she is trying to talk on her mobile phone and apply makeup while doing 60kph in heavy traffic <img border="0" alt="[Shiner]" title="" src="graemlins/shiner.gif" /> . (This scenario is not fiction I have seen it again and again around town, some of these young girls are the worst drivers because they don't pay attention to what is happening around them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ).
His or her stupid idea that somehow all 4x4 drivers are dangerous is absurd. I see more crashes involving small cars than 4x4s and there are more 4x4s per head of population in Northern Oz than anywhere else in the country.
My missus was most offended that this person said if you need an SUV (not a commonly used term in Australia, we would normally say four wheel drive, this shows how much they are influenced by propaganda that is coming from the idiots peddling this line in the US)to tow a boat, 'you should get a smaller boat'.
How dare some lamo tree hugging hippie ponce <img border="0" alt="[Fro]" title="" src="graemlins/rainfro.gif" /> who has probably never travelled outsie 'Un Zud' tell me what I can and can't own <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> .
I think they should go back to fornicating with sheep, which I am sure all this person is good for <img border="0" alt="[Chicken]" title="" src="graemlins/chicken.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Nerd]" title="" src="graemlins/nerd.gif" /> !
Unfortunately a lot of city pollies are being fed the dribble portrayed on that website by chardonnay sipping, latte drinking pseudo intellectual, lycra clad , bike riding wanker, rent a crowd yuppies, and they are believing it!!
I personally find it offensive when I see some lycra clad yuppie meathead on his $10000 pushbike, talking on the mobile phone stuck to his head while dodging in and out of traffic, riding through red lights and forcing pedestrians off the footpath whingeing about how dangerous it is for pushbikes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . If they obeyed the road rules they wouldn't get run over <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> .
Well I won't rant anymore it's just that this really gets me worked up and I can't help myself......
