it has a fancy mustache

I have seen two of these so far while back home in California and too many Tesla roadsters and chevy volts to count. Electric cars are big here.

that is a ford taurus SHO. Won many awards in its day, but was killed by general lack of direction by ford.

If car culture was about safety we'd all be bragging about how many airbags our minivans have.

I don't see how not being able to download a bootleg copy of The Avengers is tantamount to full internet censorship of news and communication worldwide.

I would take a mercedes SLS over a Polo.

This looks kind of pathetic. I thought Forza was above this sort of thing.

The S2000 is a convertible. OP is in Norway.

you should buy a used Lamborghini in the US and have it shipped over.

I almost answered you seriously

Quote from Fuse5 :

What stereotypes you ask? You bringing unrelated matters to the table just because someone dared to point out that your countrymen love to prove why everyone thinks that they're ignorant & stupid?

I thought it was silly that speedway would call an American stupid for not supporting the current regime in his country and thereby exercising free thinking and speech. How does voicing opposition Obama's policies prove every stereotype about dumb Americans? It's as stupid as the stereotype that all Germans are Nazis. That was my point.

As for patent law, if you invent something, why should other people be able to make money selling your idea? Say a Norwegian invents a new computer gadget and produces it in his country where wages are very high because it supports his people and national economy. Then someone from China copies it exactly and sells it for $1000 less, using exploited workers in appalling conditions. Obviously most companies outsource labor to China anyway, but when a company pays R&D for new product, they expect to make a return on that investment, but whoever rips off the idea has to pay nothing for R&D, and can sell the product far cheaper. I don't see a difference between real products and software because some real people invented it either way, and deserve to profit from it, as does the company they work for.

Getting rid of patents can happen someday, perhaps in a future where we can simply describe to a computer the product we want, and advancements would come naturally as products are constantly improved upon by the end users. We are not at that stage yet. In my opinion, expecting researchers and engineers to work hard to make great new products, only to give away their best ideas for free so other companies can profit is wrong. Who is to say some seemingly menial computer code wasn't the best idea some guy ever had?

Everyone likes to take a look at it when they notice it, more so than a $50,000 watch maybe

Quote from speedway :

Stereotypes need to be proven every once in a while. Well done!

A German telling others what to think about their government...what stereotypes are we talking about again?

well its a touring car so ride comfort>track times

Settlement? I doubt any company wants to be known for killing the Xbox.

Don't be such a nice guy that you end up getting the shaft. This is why we buy car insurance.

Megaupload had a rewards program where members were paid to upload copyrighted movies and music. Child pron0graphy was removed quickly, but copyrighted movies and MP3s with millions of downloads somehow were not. The yellow pages doesn't pay hookers for servicing a certain amount of men, that's the major difference.

dotcom was arrested for making tens of millions of dollars distributing copyrighted material. There's an FBI warning before every US film that says you can be arrested for illegally distributing it, so why is it a surprise he's in jail?

Fukusima...I would love to hear who you think is secretly pulling the strings behind earthquakes.

cars today have big doors and tiny windows. Its like being in a cave. When I see people driving badly I wonder if they're not paying attention or literally cannot see outside of their cars.

It would cost me more than $200 to fill my tank in the UK. How do you guys still have some kind of car culture?

so the same people who think 9/11 was an inside job also think the Oklahoma City bombing was an inside job. It makes it convenient to mash together conspiracy theories into a more cohesive pile of bullshit.

One of the comments from the 'information clearing house' says that its all a plot by the Jewish Zionists that control the US. Who is becoming Nazi Germany, again?
