\_ Funny, but interesting how few people are actually doing it
when a Hummer driver can see them. -John
\_ It's a lot harder (and less safe) to take a picture when
driving.
\_ Many of these have a second person taking the picture. No
excuse. -John
\_ Funny-ish. I hate the H2 too (but I love the H1), but who
the fuck are these people to hate them just because the H2
isn't fuel efficient? I guarantee none of the site creators
drive a Prius or something similar.
\_ how do you guarantee that?
\_ I hate H2 because it epitomizes the low and unrefined tastes of an
'average' American. It seems like for many people, the more pompous
and obnoxious your vehicle looks, the better. It doesn't matter to
them that they will never drive H2 off-road, that it has maritime
handling, and poses elevated danger to other people on the road. I
don't really care about the low fuel economy. Peole are just
responding to economic incentives. Just make the gas or large
vehicles expensive enough and they'll start driving more
efficient cars.
\_ I hate suburbs and McMansions because it epitomizes the low and
unrefined tastes of an 'average' American. It seems like for many
people, the bigger the backyard and the more pompous your home
looks, the better. It doesn't matter to them that they will never
utilize 90% of the space, that it wastes more energy with more
heating/cooling costs, wastes a lot of water for the lawn, wastes
a lot of money associated with gardens that one rarely uses,
and require driving far distances and buy big vehicles to shop for
necessities far away in the cities. People are selfish assholes
and just want everything without considering the harm they're
doing to the nature, and to other people. Just make the gas
expensive or pay for their part in destroying the environment and
they'll start living in more efficient manners. FUCK SUBURBS.
\_ Uhm, what differentiates a regular mansion from a McMansion?
They sound the same to me based on your vitriolic description.
Are you sure it's not a matter of mansion envy?
\_ What suburb are you in? In mine the lawns can be watered with
a tea cup, the houses, such as they are, are barely bigger than
your apartment, the cars are the same cars people in the city
own (and park on the side walks). I'd like to live in your
suburb. Where should I look for it? -wannabe selfish asshole
\_ I grew up in Orange County and San Fernando Valley. My
parents' homes are huge, and empty most of the time.
Most of the things I grew up with were never used, but were
great to show off with when we had guests 2-3 times
a year. For example our swimming pools, BBQ, yards and other
things were rarely used. I'm older now and I totally
sympathize for my parents who had to drive 50-100 miles a
day to/from work and to drive us to schools in
congested roads. 15 minutes to get grocery, 30 min to the
nearest hospital, 35 min to my high school... WHY? Because
they didn't know any better and lived their lives like our
all the other suburbian home owners. -pp
\_ Your experience is not exactly typical. Sounds like
your parents were well-to-do. I guess you can hate
them for that, if you want to. Most of us are not
living in huge houses with wasted space and pools we
don't use. |
