Now there's hellaflush which is dumb and then there's just good fitment which is awesome but some people would probably group this in with hellaflush.

For someone who lives 12,000km away from the US you sure spend a lot of time thinking about us. I think you're secretly in love.

I don't know where you're posting from but in the US the quality of gasoline is standardized by the American Society for Testing and Materials. There is no federally mandated minimum octane, but the ASTM ensures that the actual octane rating is the same as it says on the pump (US: 87, 89, 93)
If you are in the US and you suspect that the gasoline you paid for may be lower octane than advertised, the number for the ASTM is printed on a gold sticker on the pump.

I think he's saying hellaflush is not for driving enthusiasts because they can't drive their fragile cars 'enthusiastically'. You may hear someone with their springs cut in half, tires 2mm from their wheel arch and wheels at -15 degrees camber talking about the handling benefits of a lower car.
damn that really makes me want to get a wheel. nice drifting!

I was making an exaggeration, mostly because I'm sick of seeing that ugly face everywhere.
I wonder if these played out memes are going to go away some day or just get worse until human literature and conscience devolves into only using sentences with a maximum of ten letters.
did they balance the perks and eliminate the wrathful god kill streaks or is that the same too?
from the VT article
The author is framing that as a bad thing whereas I think that preemptive espionage is good in that it decreases the perceived chance of success of potential terrorists and makes the public more aware that there may be people in their communities who, given the opportunity, would carry out attacks against citizens and military targets. People being vigilant about suspicious activity is what has led the FBI to these radicalized lone wolves in the first place. The reason the Toronto 18 came under the radar of the Canadian police was because they filmed a terrorist training video showcasing their weapons and had it converted to DVD in a store. For myself, I would prefer that the FBI be watching these people at every step rather than have them come into contact with real terrorists with real weapons and perform a successful attack.
I'm not sure but you seem to completely discount even your own sources (mother jones and Berkeley University) that say less than half of people prosecuted on terrorism charges were targeted by an informant in a sting operation. The other half tried to get weapons and support on their own and were caught anyway before their plans could come to fruition. I call that success by any definition! I don't want to think this about you but I think it actually makes you feel a little justified when Americans are targeted by terrorists and lone wolves for death. American citizens are not the American government and they don't deserve to die any more than you do. Terrorist attacks are foiled in the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK every few years so obviously not all terrorist attacks are run by agents or in some way conducted by the US. Radical Islam is a real thing with some motives that have nothing to do with anything people or governments have done to them, but are about religious fanaticism and hatred of non-Muslim societies. Take your head out the dark corner you're in and try to think about how many hundreds or thousands of lives have been saved by the efforts of anti-terrorism organizations worldwide.
Perhaps if Norwegian officials and intelligence had been more preemptive they could have predicted from his internet purchases and suspicious activities that Anders Breivik was going to carry out his lone wolf attack and might have saved many innocent lives. In fact, he was put on a Norwegian watch list for his purchases of bomb-making equipment but they were discounted by complacent police work. Clearly these 'lazy' police were working with ultra-nationalists to kill the children of liberals. Or at least I could write that in a blog and probably you would copy-paste parts of it into one of your barely comprehensible posts.
PS. I found a blog that says one of your blogger 'sources' (btw try citing a blog in a research report and see how well that is received) Daniel Hopsicker is a CIA mole and is working for the US gov. to spread half truths and lies to muddy the waters for 9/11 conspiracies. I don't expect you to read that link because its probably just as much BS as the one you cited to me. Apparently everyone is a CIA agent according to the internet.

Awlaki was not a housewife in Minnesota. When he died he was an Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, nothing more. He gave up his rights as a US citizen when he declared war on the US. I suppose you think the American Civil war happened when 100-300,000 southern US citizens were murdered after clearly being radicalized by undercover CIA operatives.
You're mistaking the world "clearly" with "I read on a blog somewhere"
Clearly the holocaust never happened
Clearly Pearl Harbor was an inside job
See how easy it is? I bet I could find 'proof' for both those statements on the internet within ten minutes.

...On the other hand I can see why they want to protect their property. Hundreds of real people put work into making a music album or a video game and most people act like it just appeared on the internet magically and should be free. But if you buy their work it should be yours to do with what you want short of giving it away or selling it to other people.
Just like people complain that facebook steals and sells personal info. First, when you knowingly post your age, current location, photographs, school, classes, occupation, interests, favorite artists, games, movies, books, etc etc on your profile its not exactly stealing when they aggregate that info and sell it to companies. Second, social networking is completely free yet puts you in instant and constant contact with everyone in the entire world who can connect to the internet (for better or worse). Anyone who has tried to buy server space or a physical server can tell you it's not free. Facebook has more than sixty thousand of them.
Back to GTA IM SO EXCITED BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE SOOO LONG!

oh well shit no one misses Awlaki except maybe the hundreds or thousands of radicalized young Muslims who followed his blog, listened to his sermons about Jihad, and were aided by him in planning terror attacks. He committed acts of war against the US and other countries. I know you feel very safe way down there, but people in the US or even the UK who know that they could live next to a Muslim radicalized by Awlaki's message of hate should be glad that he was assassinated. I am.
All these top officials you don't want targeted for capture or kill operations (which I'm pretty sure has been the MO of war since time immemorial, to either capture or kill the leadership of the enemy forces)...I think its strange how sensitive you are to the alleged transgressions of powerful nations against Al Qaeda and the Taliban but you are blind the the fact that if the Taliban had the power of the US, they would kill everyone who wasn't Muslim or wouldn't follow Sharia law, including you, despite how equitably you would treat them before they murdered you.
You're missing proof on your most unbelievable points including it was 'revealed' that the FBI was behind the Fort Dix plot and the Toronto 18 (Toronto is not in the United States). But now that I'm re-reading it it's obvious you just copied and pasted this stuff from various sources you didn't include so I'm not going to try to disprove you.

There is no way that the US or the UN can enforce justice for human rights abuses. The UN has completely squandered any power it had to do so long ago and is now the leaking money faucet for a misguided idea.
If the US were to withdraw itself from foreign politics it should do so completely. Our army and arsenal is more than enough to protect our own country from invasion and to preemptively stop threats to our security with espionage and that's all that should matter to the US government. The UN is now bloated and corrupt so we need to eliminate our share of funding that organization. It does nothing for the countries that put money into it and indeed one could argue that rampant waste and fraud only punishes countries for their participation. It is ridiculous to me that the US funds 22% of the UN's budget while Germany and the UK only fund 8% and 7% respectively. Acts by congress to limit or eliminate UN funding have been met with resistance from the UN on the grounds that it would promote even more anti-American and anti-Israeli attitudes. So that argument amounts to: they only put up with us because we give them money. Countries who don't approve of US involvement in foreign relations should refuse money, legislate the removal of our foreign bases, and vote to remove the US as a member state of the UN. When countries stop catering to global interests and start addressing the needs of their own citizens first we can hopefully come back from the brink. There is no reason to fund humanitarian aid abroad when there are people in the US who need aid themselves.
Racer X you need to stop talking out of your ass and prove that the US systematically performs summary executions of US citizens or life imprisonment without trial. In every country since countries began people have been wrongly accused and convicted of crimes, no more so in the US than anywhere else. If Casey Anthony can walk free after admitting to chloroforming her child and keeping her in the trunk (where she probably died) then I would say the problem is the opposite.

Eurpeans: "It is the seventh of March twenty eleven"
Americans: "Its is March seventh two thousand eleven"
Japanese: "In the year twenty eleven it is the third month of which we are experiencing the seventh day"
Which do you use?

so what justice is there for people who live in terror under obsolete societal rules like sharia law? Most of these countries don't have a functional justice system to protect their people (functional meaning actually dispersing justice).
Pakistani family threatened fo ... ll daughter who was raped
If someone told me the master scheme of all the wars in the middle east was to prevent Islamic influence in the West that would be one thing, but seeing as the wars foster in them only hatred towards the West and then we let them emigrate to our countries is insanity. The Middle East and the West should have as little contact as possible. Our ideas about how society should function are incompatible and have been so for a hundred years and will continue to be for hundreds of years more.

sounds truly horrible
Oh yes, innocent Iran is going to be the next hapless target of the west's insatiable thirst for blood, oil, and money. Iran the country that executes people who speak against the religion of peace and is building a nuclear weapon to start a second holocaust. They're probably the only country stupid enough to actually use a nuclear weapon that's why everyone is so scared of them.
The fed is indeed a private and entirely corrupt entity and it is typical of you to act like you're the only one privy to secret conspiracies the rest of us sheep are blind to.
OWS seems to want the government to have more power (to give them free stuff), the Tea Party wants it to have almost none (to fck off and leave us alone). I like the paleoconservative way better but that's just me.
The system is not going to change until it crashes or sparks WWIII unless something impossibly drastic happens before then. There are too many powerful people that are desperately patching the sinking ships to get everything they can off them. The more we react to try to save the status quo with bailouts the more we entrench ourselves in the system of globalism which has already failed and cannot ever be fixed.

Yes it's especially ironic: more socialism and less individual responsibility would be the best thing that could happen to the world's largest corporations when the governments and corporations already have a system in place to ensure their mutual interests are met.
I don't think anything will come of OWS. The more money the government takes away from corporations, the less money those corps. will be able to put into their reelection campaigns. The problem with capitalism is not there there are too many capitalists, there are not enough capitalists who can actually compete with the big corporations.
For all of their comparisons to the Tea Party, the Tea Party was able to organize a caucus, nominate candidates who support their views, and actually put them in government positions where they can advance their platform. I would be very surprised if even 15% of OWS protesters have ever voted in a city council election, a state legislature election, or a referendum. I agree with most of their points, but honestly they should be in front of the congress protesting for term limits because that is the first step to building the kind of government that treats people equitably. Lobbying and special interests are completely out of hand; every single nook and cranny of local, state, and federal government is infested with SI's and corporations trying to get their handout or push their agenda. It creates a political climate where even a crooked chicago-style politician can thrive as long as they say yes to everyone who comes in their office. Why would a SI group support a new challenger who might give them what they want when they know the incumbent is already in their pocket?
OWS seems like a great place to have kinky outdoor tent sex though and that is something we should all support.
