He touched my car

In that case Adrian, I see. Shame.

 

[screenman]

I thought that may have been the case.

 

[dellzeqq]

No, that's a sweeping generalisation.

I would suggest in future before trying to pick people up that you are actually correct before you attempt to do so, as a failed attempt does not reflect well on you.

if he had said 'drivers are whatever' that would be a generalisation. But he didn't. He said 'most drivers are whatever' which is to say something over 50%. He may be right, he may be wrong, but it's an estimation

 

[dellzeqq]

So, have we come to any conclusions?

I have been known to change my opinions on subjects after internet debates, but not this time.

If anything it has made me realise how anti-car some people are, for no sensible reason. I can understand people being anti-bad driving, anti-use of cars in certain circumstances and even, to a point, anti-particular types of cars, but the general 'I don't like cars, they're just part of the space I use, therefore it's OK to treat them as I see fit' point of view is really beyond me.

let's go back a bit. Who said they would get out of their car and put whom 'on their arse'? Was it a) a driver or b) a cyclist. The clue is in the question. For the bonus who said they might scratch a child's face or throw stones through a window? And, for the chesterfield, who would lean on whose face?

[QUOTE 2126760, member: 9609"]I have no idea, but at a guess 73.8% of cyclists concentrate on average 27.9% more than drivers on the road in front of them.[/quote]

If you don't know then why quote something that isn't necessarily obvious (higher accident rate for car drivers than cyclists), in particular your belief appears to be based on something you don't know?

Be faecitious as you like - gets you nowhere.

 

[screenman]

Nope! give us a clue.

Adrian if you have never owned something how can you know what it feels like to do so, could be a cucumber or a pair of thigh length boots, but to never own is to not know the experience.

Now the thigh leather boots I have only worn once and that was whilst playing Dick Turpin in yep, you guessed it Dick Turpin in third year of primary. Could be said that was a good role for somebody who went on to become a car dealer for 15 years before selling up and moving north.

I am a man of peace, but for a Chesterfield I would lean (benignly) on someone's face.

Please contact me with dimensions and colour as we are boringly staid in our interior design and I'd be reluctant to accept a prize that didn't fit in with the look we have tried to achieve.

 

[screenman]

Adrian, any chance of stopping your bad habit of turning posts into echo's.

 

[screenman]

Adrian, I very much doubt it.

I felt I asked quite politely.

I must admit I find most of your replies amusing as of course they are meant to be, yourself, Reiver, Dellzeqq a good bunch of wind up merchants, brilliant, keep at it as it makes for a busy forum.

 

[screenman]

Brilliant!

 

[400bhp]

Wind up merchants? I am outraged. I have been, as I often do, encouraging people to challenge their entrenched viewpoint and find some enlightenment.

really?

 

[400bhp]

You get outraged easily and I can't take people like that seriously.

Are we talking about the enlightenment that cars are not an extension of ones personal space?

 

[screenman]

Adrian. Really, no way. Definitely trolling you must be, go on tell us we can keep a secret.

 

[Norm]

'tis a shame that you can't hold a mirror to such lofty aspirations.

 

[400bhp]

1.
1.You can't take me seriously yet you ask yet another question? Interesting dichotomy.

2. I have the modest aspiration that some of you car drivers might come to view your personal space issues as a touch unreasonable.

3. I hold little to no hope that some might further come to view the whole car driving thing as unreasonable.

1.You never ask questions of people you don't take seriously? Interesting life you mustn't lead.

2. You're a car driver too....

3. Go on then, enlighten us with why you belive the whole [important word you've used there] driving thing is unreasonable.
