Take your meds and reread the thread. The "new" diesel hybrid buses are getting poorer mileage then the old diesel only buses. The new buses were MONDO expensive and promised to help clean up the air and save fuel, which turns out to not be the case.

Why don't you join your chums in Russia or China then?

Yeah, and the second time around the Ruskies and their Frenchie chums were too busy taking bribes from Saddam Hussein. Nice bunch of chums. Why don't you join them?

You are stupid. Russia is in pieces already. China is going to have its hands full when India overtakes them. In any case, Japan will never let China get too full of itself. If China doesn't watch it Japan will get the green light to re-arm. The US doesn't have the resources to cover China but it doesn't have to. China does not even have the support of its own people.

Why would that be surprising to anyone?

You read too much trite written by windbags. I bet you never did a useful day's work in your life. You should pull your head out of your ass sometime.

Poor Smedley was an idiot and a coward if he ever existed. He's the same sort who would give free cocaine to an addict just so we won't have to contend with drug lords, who by the way would just find some other poor sod to exploit.

CP, you are as dumb and as much a loser as poor Smedley was. Some bastards deserve what's coming to them. We are all fodder for the human condition. The difference is that some of us don't cower in a corner and spend our time with our heads up our asses complaining about anyone who decides to do something about the bastards.

Oh yeah, and good day to you too, stupid!

What do assumptions make out of you? ASSUME... :-)

That's exactly what I do. Walk or take public transport.

But I can do that because I am only 1.1 miles from my office. When I was 19 miles from it I drove. In time public transport (trains) took about the same time but were far less convenient.

I do about 5 000 - 6 000 miles per year in my car. My wifer does far less in hers.

That's your opinion only. Almost all Merc drivers in the UK agree with me, as well as a large chunk of BMW drivers etc.

Even if you live in Helsinki you probably don't know what real traffic is. Besides, modern auto transmissions don't consume a significantly different amount of fuel.

Unless one does racing-type gear changes I propound that overtaking (on non-motorways) is safer than with manual. With proper foot control the changes are quicker. On a motorway it makes no difference.

I drive manuals all the time. Would never buy one voluntarily.

Poor understanding of history of you think that Pearl Harbor/WW2 and Iraq are in any way comparable.

Dori, I said I wouldn't post any more political responses to this thread so I will mail you directly. You'll see why my analogy was valid.

What's to prevent the regular diesel buses from running on biodiesel?

hey buddy, perhaps you ought to write something of substance instead of creating a straw man and blowing it down.

huh?!!? My views are the same as half of the US, are you going to tell them to go do the same!?

Shall I repeat? You have anything of substance instead of hot air?

I'm 30 minutes away from the American border, BC side, if you want, you can come tell me that to my face. I really am not kidding. I'm really sick an tired of people hiding behind their screens and writing things they wouldn't dare to say to a person's face.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch, the ruskis can still turn this contintent into glass before we cry uncle.

China needs stability, something the US is denying them in order to create the pretext for staying in the area. India overtake China? Maybe in a hundred years? The vast majority of India is mired in a religion that treats 2/3 of the people as subhuman; 300 million 'untouchables' and 300 million people who are not better off, China on the other hand is mostly a secular society permeable to change, as we've seen in the last 20 years. The other benefit they have over India is that they are not a democracy, that might be sacrilege to those who deem democracy to be an absolute truth to be imposed on everyone. What's good for us will not necessarily work well for others. As a government (the richest in the world) that does not have to worry about re-election they can focus on economic reform. google shanghai and select images, you won't believe your eyes, friends brought videos of coastal china over and it's amazing, though with 1.2 billion people there will be a lot of poor areas as well of course

doesn't watch it

And do what? What do you have against China? China, whatever its many faults, funds your lifestyle, if they diversify their markets enough this entire continent will be on the dole. How is China "full of itself"? What did Christ say? Pull the plank out of your eye so that you are better able to see the speck in your brother's eye? Who is going around the world invading and dictating what others may do? Look in the mirror before pointing the finger at someone else. I'm blaming the state, not the nation, but you're supporting what your government does. And why would Japan want to attack each other when they are each other's markets?! And WHAT would Japan do?! Didn't they butcher ENOUGH CHINESE in the 20th century!? China has nukes now, Japan is much easier to destroy than China, and there's a whole lot more chinamen to replace any that the Japanese take out, the Japanese being concentrated into a small area...

Oh really? And you know this how!? As long as the chinese commies give them prosperity they wil stay in power. A country with 1.2 billion people needs a strong hand, perhaps third world hole India could use a stronger hand. Liberal democracies are for developed nations.

Yes, but they're preventing this rise by going into their backyard. Remember the noise in the US when a Chinese company took control of the panama canal?

Look at these brown shirts:

The US' presence in asia many times more in the chinese' face, and you are complaining of what?

So how are they wrong? They're not wrong just because you disagree with their views. Are you going to call them 'anti-american' too?

I'm a programmer, 60-70 hours per week. I wish I could work less so that I could be even more informed.

Your cause is not helped by being insulting, it's not like I have said something ridiculous.

someone needs to teach you some manners, cowboy.

So who says I'm American. I'm from Victoria, BC and I may just take you up on your offer.

You just proved you're a warmonger and an idiot. Thank you stupid.

Hey stupid, how much do you know about China? I spent 16 years within walking distance of China and I know the Chinese and the Chinese government extremely well. By the way, do you know which country is the world's largest democracy? As I said, you read a lot of crap. Unfortunately, you just write what you read. You have never experienced the bullshit you claim to be so informative about. That's why what you write isn't even consistent. You claim the US is a warmonger but you brag about a country that has starved millions of Ukrainians to death, executed the entire Polish army officer corp and sent thousands to the Gulags. You are pathetic. You know what you are and I know what you are. Your reactions show you are not what you pretend to be.

Yup, that's what I said. You haven't done a day's useful work in your life. You're a kid.

What a surprise, I've been promising to visit a friend at uvic, maybe we should meet. cplassrv__AT__telus__DOT__net

HOW am I a warmonger by pointing out a fact?? We would BOTH be annihilated!! I suggest you take some logic and reasoning courses at uvic, I hear they are quite good, infested with people who are a bit too liberal for me though, and too young.....

How about we meet next time you come over to the mainland, I can meet you at Tsawwassen? Unable to carry on a civilized conversation? Did I insult you in ANY WAY in the post you replied to? Why bother even replying if you're going to be rude? Have I claimed that pigs fly, it's snowing in hell, that the second law thermodynamics is false?

So you lived within walking distance of China, and that makes you an expert on the country?? Perhaps you are, what about it? What are you implying?

I work in Richmond, in a company 80% chinese, I know them well too, unless you're implying the government.

Yes, I DID say that democracy is for developed nations, didn't I? 50 years and India hasn't made the progress China did in 10.

You'll have to demonstrate that. They're not crap just because you don't like what they say. How are the sources I mentioned wrong in their facts? NOBODY is perfect, that's why MANY sources are needed, before a general understanding of the issue can take place.

I believe I have some understanding of the issues I read about.

Thank you for your concern for my fellow polaks, ruskis and hohols. That the commies were the worst news in history no one can deny. Actually, I am polish, I've lived under communism (Polish "communism"), my last name is ukrainian and I have extended family in byelorussia and russia.

You are going to have to demonstrate how I brag about Russia, the USSR I should say. I learned russian while learning what the commies did to the Christians there. the demon commies sent my grandfather's family to siberia (luckily they didn't get there) because of an insulting comment my great grandfather made to the politruk (political commissar) who was indoctrinating the locals with evolution, he asked him basically the same thing wilberforce asked of huxley, "how can you say your mother came from a monkey?" yeh, that was enough to set the demon off, my family sold everything in a week and headed for sibera when the germans came

You know, I have to agree with you there. The only thing this country exports is softwood and software. I'm thinking of getting some more useful education at BCIT, so that I will be useful when Bush destroys the US' and our economies

Perhaps at heart. Haven't met any 55 year old programmers? Not that I'm 55.

Can't resist an intervention here.

Horse manure. No government in India murdered the millions of its citizens that the Chinese governments did. For all its problems India has been a better place for its citizens than China. Now that the dead hand of 'socialism' is being removed from the Indian economy it is moving forward quite nicely.

stupid suggestion. Why should I meet you? I have no interest in you, only to show people on the Interent around the world the stupid garbage you write. Why would meeting you help?

Ask your Chinese buddies if they want to go live in China. If China is doing so well then why are they in Canada!

ha ha, you show your ignornace. Indians get to vote, have freedom to travel, freedom of speech, freedom of religion (you're Polish, right). Indian government promotes freedom Indians are free to compete in the world. Chinese government is a joke, just a form of mafia. Chinese people live under a phoney communist government that worship money instead of Karl Marx. Let's see how far chinese mafia gets. Yeah, you're Polish, right. I wonder waht the Pope would say about your idea of China's progress. Ever heard of Falun Gong? Like I said. You're really stupid.

Oh I know you understand everything real well. You're smart too. too bad you're not right in the head. You distort everything just so you get to feel good. You love to twist everything so you feel good.

you are starting to unravel. have you notice the inconsistencies in your life? The Pope and your grandfather would smack you in the head for your stupidity. Stupid boy!

Like I said you're stupid. You're just jealous and hateful of Jews and Americans so you twist everything else just so you can throw shit in their face. You have no idea why your life is so full of hate. That's why I said you are a kid. Smart but clueless. You should go see a shrink. okay I've given enough of free advice.
