in simple terms no scientists today do anything for the sake of science, but for the sake of funding that science. From a purely political standpoint I tend to agree with skeptics because they have less to gain if they are right and man cannot change the climate of the entire Earth and the world continues the infinite cycle of warming and cooling.

If the left can convince enough people otherwise, they can control through legislation the way society uses resources, spends its money, builds homes, educates children, not to mention changes in global economics, trading...the end game being complete control over the masses by a select few who know how to save the world. of course thats a worst case scenario but why even go in that direction?

every time i fire up lfs i'm reminded that my computer doesn't have the ram to run it smoothly, no one is online, and cruise servers dominate. I only watch this thread and the skin request thread, but no one (licensed) has requested a good skin in a very long time.

Quote from Electrik Kar :

Sceptics are going to be called on to offer their opinions and expertise on these matters, which they've looked into in almost exhausting detail.

sry to pick apart your post but I disagree here. The mainstream (left) media will shut out, censor, and discredit these skeptics in spite of the newly awakened public's desire for balanced debate. The main American news outlets are already doing this with people who stand against Obama and the socialist left agenda, and environmentalism is a large part of that agenda to those who stand to profit greatly from legislation like cap and trade, not to mention government research grants.

i usually figure two consecutive posts don't need quotes

someone made a whole pack of bleach skins for almost every character i'm sure someone remembers who it was (not me)

interesting, but he is complicit in the group thinking he criticizes by saying the 'reality' is that more CO2 equals more warming when it is still up for (bloodthirsty) debate whether the world is indeed warming at a rate never before seen.

there's a pillar behind the glass. i've seen a few of these "customized" in my area and if you can believe it its possible to make them look much worse than stock.

Quote from scheMatics :

all-over print custom Zoo York skin, designed with night ridin' in mind ;D

very nice

i think he means white skins with a black mask over the unskin-able areas.

million bucks he's using paint

I use these for pretty much any car. Made by funnycat.

In a way I understand it is hard to follow the direction of a completely corrupt federal government, but the citizens need to be the ones to take back their democratic power, as the US did with Britain. Relying on the US to solve the problem will only increase tensions in border states affected by the drug cartels.

unfortunately my president doesn't understand the realities of the de facto border war going on right now and is punishing those states who want to protect themselves from criminals who enter the US illegally.

As long as BP pays to clean up all the mess I think this will end as well as it can under the circumstances.

doesn't matter who won the election. you're all screwed by this greek bailout anyway. At least Germany had the balls to hold out for a little while seeing as they have first hand experience with the hyperinflation thats coming your way.

France: "If you don't join in on this bailout we're going to pull out of the Euro and nuke the entire European economy right now, instead of later"

that urban gentleman certainly has some large lips.

ah well we're not going to convert each other, we never do shottie lol.

I think manuals in shitty cars are a prick's status symbol in europe, you think americans can't drive stick and drink big gulps at the same time so it looks like an impasse to me.

they call that the speed limit, friend

well its your car, do what you want although you could wait a few years once you're through college and get a car worth upgrading.

what do your friends think of your planned modifications?

I think you'll regret putting any money into a suzuki as far as performance goes. Thats not to say it isnt a perfect car for a college student, though.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

They should just stop ****ing with the middle east altogether and let them sort it out amongst themselves. If it means Israel is raged to dust and Iran nukes half the gulf states then at least it's over with.

we stopped for a while after the gulf war, look how that turned out for us. I assume by 'they' you mean the US, but I believe there are quite a few union jacks on sleeves in Afghanistan.

I think Israel is the only country that has the balls to turn Iran into glass rather then get wiped out.

absolutely terrible. when people are talking about annoying sounding cars they're talking about your rx-7. sounds like you swapped in a leaf blower engine.

I don't feel out of the equation in my camaro but then again its basically the opposite of what i described before, it's a high powered automatic. Plus it is only a three speed so with all that torque it rarely needs to shift out of third gear. When I drive a manual I get the impression that something is wearing out (the clutch) from being half engaged all the time at low speeds. the tranny in my camaro is 30 years old and still tight but the two manual trucks i've driven have gone through a clutch each in 4 years and i'd say im about average at shifting gears (not grinding, overrevving, etc.)

mr rodgers u mentioned shifting into second when the traffic gets a little faster, the problem is, it slows down again and you shift back to first, then it speeds up...ad infintum. Have fun shifting between first and second all afternoon.

the main argument for manual trannies is that you have more control over the engine rpm which doesnt make sense to me because i usually want the revs to be right in the sweet spot all the time (remember i don't live in snow) especially in low powered cars because the little 1.3 liter engines sound absolutely terrible at high rpms, further adding to the feeling that I'm breaking something.

In newer performance cars the only argument for a manual is that you feel like a 'real man' when you drive it, even though the new automatics shift faster and better than any human can.

i guess i just dont see the benefit. I get pissed after a while when driving a low powered manual tranny car in a parking garage or in heavy traffic. I like being able to drive 1 mph without the weird 'surging' feeling of a manual.

yeah mazdas, civics and 1.9l alfas will obliterate camaros and mustangs every time...lol

the uk should give up. nothing is ever worth fighting for. Give them your healthcares too.

why are brits so against auto trannies? a manual transmission doesn't make a boring mazda sedan any cooler or better performing. i get the impression you're all against smoothness and feel like "real drivers" when you're jerking around from gear to gear.

I had a similar problem and it was spyware.
