They really should.

4/24/2008 2:10:26 AM

At least you get to drive a hummer.

4/24/2008 2:10:36 AM

So should frequent fliers.

And NASCAR fans.

4/24/2008 2:11:51 AM

If you want to drive a hummer around...

I'm rather serve in the military than pay the gas for my Explorer come...say...July when it's $7 a gallon.

4/24/2008 2:14:43 AM

come...say...July when it's $7 a gallon.

4/24/2008 2:15:27 AM

Hell, it ain't much fun now that it's 3.50...why was that such a ridiculous staement?


I wanted to join the Air Force anyway, but the 'rents weren't to keen on the idea...might still join the reserves...

4/24/2008 2:18:04 AM

i ain't got no gawd damn three fitty

4/24/2008 2:22:01 AM

F that, thats beer money

4/24/2008 2:24:42 AM

it's so hard to keep up with you hippies

so is it a war for oil again?

4/24/2008 2:27:00 AM

is that everybody that drives an SUV....or just the men....

because us women have no place in the Army...

4/24/2008 2:31:14 AM

I for one just don't like SUV drivers...
I also don't like truck drivers unless they've got something that they regularly need a truck to haul.

Not a matter of politics, just a matter of taste.

4/24/2008 2:32:28 AM

I dunno

first it was WMDs

then it was to overthrow a dictator

then it was to fight Al Kaider

Who knows

4/24/2008 2:32:31 AM

well instead of bitching about it on a message board

you people should stop people in trucks and SUVs and tell them just what you think

better yet, get out and kick their ass for choosing to drive what they chose to drive

[Edited on April 24, 2008 at 2:35 AM. Reason : !]

4/24/2008 2:35:16 AM

haha, I sold all mine

I would like to choke a bitch for talking on her cell phone instead of driving.

4/24/2008 2:41:33 AM

wouldn't we all

4/24/2008 2:42:24 AM

The Army uses like 79087549038795 gallons of petroleum a day.

4/24/2008 10:42:21 AM

if you really think we NEEDED to go into this war to get oil you're silly... if anything this war was created to drive oil prices up...

4/24/2008 10:48:46 AM

i drive my suv for jesus

4/24/2008 10:49:25 AM

we're still there for oil, lets not kid ourselves.

I like how colter associates everyone who thinks it's ridiculous to drive an suv (which it is 95% of the time) and doesn't buy that the war is a fight against "terror" with being a hippy. I ain't no hippy, I just happen to see how ridiculous both ideas are

[Edited on April 24, 2008 at 10:56 AM. Reason : .]

4/24/2008 10:54:32 AM

then where's my fucking oil?


i mean seriously, if we were still paying a buck fifty for gas, i'd be for this war. but hundreds of billions of dollars later, we have no more oil than we did before.

Thank you. Someone has the same tastes as me finally. Not to mention the big things block vision on the highway, speed up the 200 feet gap in the left lane, then tailgate anyone who isnt doing 80. They dont deserve the army. Let them serve in the guard or something.


^xhowever. your parents told you you couldnt join the air force? if you are at state, join AFROTC. Easier to get into the mindset without much of a commitment. and tell your parents they are hippy bastards who know nothing about the AF. unless you are a pilot or are a base guard, there really isnt much in the way of danger.

4/24/2008 11:02:04 AM

there is absolutely no reason for a soccer mom to be driving a Hummer. shit really makes me mad

4/24/2008 11:12:11 AM

why?

4/24/2008 11:18:16 AM

are you trolling? I would think it's farily obvious that it's wasteful and unnecessary. She driving through a war zone? Navigating some rough terrain in Cary? No, she's going to Yoga and Whole Foods.

[Edited on April 24, 2008 at 11:21 AM. Reason : .]

4/24/2008 11:20:03 AM

We should institute communism - that way we can tell said soccer moms exactly what they can or can not drive.

I said it before and I will say it again. Go fuck an energy saving light bulb and let the adults run the country.

4/24/2008 11:21:11 AM

^yeah, because that's what I'm suggesting.

I guess nowadays you have to be a tree hugger to understand what is and isn't totally wasteful

also, the adults are doing a great job running our country right about now. you're awesome.

4/24/2008 11:26:26 AM

Holy crap, you all just mind your own business and let market forces take their toll.

It'd make more sense for you to hate on people who drive extremely long distances across the country all of the time. They use more fuel than some soccer mom in cary, considering most of them don't even drive all that damn much (or that far).

Knee-jerk boohoo reactions FTL.

4/24/2008 11:26:36 AM

I have driven a couple of (other people's) H2's and I would have to say that they are the most useless pieces of dog shit ever built. For as bulky as they are outside there is no room inside and most of them have the spare tire in the only cargo area there is anyway. There are like eleventy blind spots. You can't use the vehicle for anything BUT driving around like an asshole who can barely see out of his giant fake tough-guy toy.

Having driven and worked on military (H1) hummers as much as I have, I can also say that the H2 has no business even being called a hummer. They are probably ~0 parts that could interchange between the two vehicles.

4/24/2008 11:26:39 AM

^^I don't even know where to begin with that

4/24/2008 11:28:43 AM

rawr

4/24/2008 11:38:34 AM

^^ See, here's the problem, you're focusing too much on other people's viewpoints and other people's problems. Mind your own goddamn business and quit pretending you get to have some influence on how other people live their lives. The wealthy will ALWAYS drive shit that's better than what you drive, that's more wasteful, that's more gaudy, that goes against what you call "common sense". You're going to see a lot of wealthy people driving around here with all the nice new developments and businesses that are opening up, so you're going to see a lot more chevy tahoes cruising down the street.

Boohoo that a bunch of wealthy soccer moms and businessmen choose to drive big ass vehicles. Instead of being a bunch of passive-aggressive fools on the internet why don't you walk up to somebody who drives an SUV and confront them about why they drive it? Would you have anything to say? Can you think up any better argument besides "I have a bunch of opinions on things, and that's why you shouldn't"? It's their money and they can do whatever they want with it, and if they want to blow a bunch of money driving around an expensive SUV that doesn't get great gas mileage then so be it.

^^^^you're a fucking idiot dude.

A) you don't know shit about me, so quit pretending you know anything about what I think or what I would or wouldn't do

B) there are plenty of rich people that aren't concerned with vanity and material possessions. Ever see what Jim Goodnight drove to work for years? An old pickup truck. Money isn't the issue

C) Just because I can't control the outcome of a situation doesn't mean I don't see how fucked up and pointless it is. Last time I checked, it was cool to have an opinion. Whether you agree or not isn't my problem

its best to not let it get to you

btw anybody checked gold prices lately? like $900/oz...i bought all this fuckin jewelry back in the day when it was like $400/oz...i didnt realize i was making that kind of an investment!

4/24/2008 11:47:54 AM

I agree with your overall point. People are wasteful.

I don't agree with the idea that they should be prevented by force to not be wasteful. But when you act like a 3 year old throwing a temper tantrum, you tend to achieve the opposite effect. People who listen to your shit will do the exact opposite just to spite you.

i am a truck driver.

srsly.
