business as usual....

Hmm, I don't own a Cessna, or a car for that matter, nor shares or options in any company either.

I can only assume that you wanted to use illiteration in your example, rather than logic?

Hmmm, lets see, Soapy takes no responsibility for his own transportation or financial security...I got that. Soapy relies on others for it...I got that. I know why the Irish think they are "free"......I get that too....

Old Pudfark sez: " I wouldn't walk no mile fer no free tater, then agin, I ain't Irish "

Old Pudfark futher sez: " How's that be fer Logical Illiteration "

[callmeslick]

you do realize, Pudfark, that Soapy doesn't live in Ireland?

Also, note that I know dozens, if not more, folks that live in American cities who don't own cars. In fact, there is absolutely no need or sense to add to pollution, waste and excess by owning a car in a large city.

Never been to Los Angeles eh? Or Phoenix? 2nd and 5th largest in the country respectively. 95% of the people here wouldn't be able to work or make a living without a car.

technically, yes, they are cities. But, really, they are overgrown suburbs, the way they are designed and layed out. Both really should never have been built anyway, as the environment really isn't in place to sustain that many folks without fecking up the water, and a host of other resources. Both places are examples of piss-poor development strategies, and you could add Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth to the list as well.
Back to my original point: if Soapy, in Glasgow, chooses not to own a car, that is hardly some sort of irresponsible choice. It is, to the contrary, a very responsible choice. Such choices are at the heart of a stable society, something many Americans choose to overlook.

More and more you backpedal and your responses are starting to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher. Wa wa, wa wa wa wahhh. Just stop already your ignorance, prejudice and stupidity are showing what a retard you are.

[Pudfark]

Ya know..whut some of you folks call "responsible"...I call control issues...especially, when it involves government control of planes, trains, buses and autos, all hidden under the umbrella of keep shit green for everybodie.....What is it about folks willing to exchange their freedom...a freedom that they themselves have not earned...for the "promised" security of more government....Somebody throw me an example of where more government has resulted in more freedom for folks?

Old Pudfark sez: " Some folks will drop their drawers, fer a promise from a stranger....Did yer Momma? "

the banning of slavery comes quickly to mind. A strong Federal Government was absolutely necessary for that to happen.

You do realize that Lincoln was going to "repatriate" every black back to Africa, don't you? Slavery wasn't the main issue for the Civil War, freeing the slaves was a side effect. It was good PR. You need to do some research and read what really went on. You're about as thick as some black folks I know who refuse to believe that blacks enslaved blacks and sold them to slave traders. I remember once I was told that was wrong and it was the "white man's" history. Fact of the matter is that slavery never works in the end and with the coming industrial revolution (machinery and such) that Slavery would have faded away. It wouldn't have been cost effective to keep slaves.
