no, steele, navaron is right, the threat of global warming is greatly exagerated.

MANY numerous studies have shown that this is a natural warming period in the earth's history and that the temperature increase rate has not deviated much for centuries.

Doobz, show me a study that says these are normal temperature increases and I will show you one that says they are not.

Do you understand the threats/benefits that Global warming poses (And I am not talking about flooding)?

Do you understand how global warming works or how greenhouse gasses effect global warming?

Ya know,

I had 5 friends in 3 different highschools killed in auto accidents... and all were driving small vehicles... WTF man we should ban all small vehicles cause they were the cause. Small, fast sporty camero type cars.. thats just wrong..

DRive em on the race track not to the grocery store.

And another parady (tho I REALLY did know 5 friends that died in HS)

Ya, and SUV's are a danger to pedistrians and bikes and.. I think airlift popped off with that gem...

It should read:

All cars are dangerous whenout of control, a danger to all..."

Not just SUV's... silly ppl with anger in their hearts.

For those in the back seats, I didn't advocate banning any cars, trucks, vans, or motorcycles with side cars. I agree that vehicles of all sizes are dangerous weapons and should be treated with respect. Most are not.

But let's keep the context around my words, plz. I said that in response to the claim that SUVs make everyone safer.

I find it very interesting that SUVs rarely show up on top 5 safest automobile reports.

P.S. Muchas gracias to Airlift for my shiny new sig!!!

They did until that stupid rollover calculation was added. The thing about that is.. they make that determination not on any real test, but rather a mathmatical formula based on weight ditribution vs. wheel base... stupid really.

I think the danger are the peoplpe driving them. Unlike trucks, which ar normally being drove with a purpose, SUVs are a status symbol. They're also big cars and can make people drive carelessly because their own safety isn't endagered as much. Also, hybrids or fuel-cells would alleviate the whole pollution issue but let's ee the oil companies let that happen soon...
