I'd recommend VW/Germany go medieval on the whole fucking lot. I'd pull the motherfucking plug on the whole operation in the US. Fuck the lot of them. Then go bankrupt. Donald can give them some pointers.
So who was it who first imported slaves into North America?
And why should it come as any surprise that these institutions crop back up as the US moves back into congruence with the European ideas of law, justice, and social subservience that it once boldly threw off?
Well, I have no idea if the Dutch traders who introduced the first cargo of black slaves into the Americas were Jewish. My bet would be Dutch Reformed. But they were definitely Dutch.
Samson Option began with JFK. It's a hostage situation in America. I hope the world helps this country. It has been good to me, and I have etched out a life I enjoy very much. Have gotten help from strangers; something I did not find in other countries as a tourist. Instead, they withheld information or gave the wrong information.
Cabo San Lucas, mid 90s, I made reservations for 4 people, 2 suites, and was told that "if they add "tax" to your bill above 5%, refuse to pay it." They charged us 25% on the rooms. I stated what the AAA reservasationist stated. He folded. So, we were put into a "temporary" room for 2 nights, unable to unpack. We were finally given our permanent rooms.
Come to realize the hotel staff had spent two days making sure we were going to have a miserable time. Freezer did not work. Maids never showed up until the last 2 days. A massively huge spider suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the other couple's bedroom, was tramped on and a zilllion ants embarked on a tour of their own. I was talking to my husband while sitting on bed, he was lying there, and up from behind the bed came 2 red claws, a big crab was making its way across his pillow. He nearly had a heart attack. I had to go down a cliff to put it back into the ocean. Our dishes must have been grilled with old oil; everything tasted like old oil. I lost 5 lbs.
Everyone in my group blamed me for having insisted on the stated taxation. It was a nightmare beyond hotel. We get in a taxi (private SUV), with my husband and his friend with fat wallets and us with our rings. the cab driver, goes off the main road and into a delapidated neighborhood. I am in full panick, and trying to get my drunk companions to notice. No one could speak Spanish. He picks up some middle aged man who does not make eye contact....we got out of there alive, of course, but the possibilities of what could happen ruined my night. When he dropped us off, I almost thanked him for not killing us.
I know it is not the same in US as before, but this scam called "globalization" is gutting all our countries. Media has had hand in this scam, and the media is our messenger.
I was going to guess it was a cranky, self-loathing homosexual whose parents beat him daily. Now he is a star at the McDonald's drive-thru where pollutants give him an excuse to call in sick a few days each week. And, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with him or his lifestyle. I just think his life choice of littering in an area already stricken with air-pollution (obviously - thanks VW), will cause the logging industry to have to kill yet another tree.
I grew up in Portland and worked there for 35 years as a cop. I now live in exile across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Wa. I am heartened to see that people from all over America recognize what a cesspool of leftist fools Portland has become.
This is the twisted outcome of liberal government regulation regimes. Corporations, if left to themselves, will self regulate. Its as true in the banking sector as it is in the automotive manufacturing center. Remove government regulations and let the marketplace regulate itself. The results will be more efficiency, better product, lower prices, higher profits and more jobs. End these job killing regulations now!
9% flat tax and everyone in the area from other states drive in to shop there (0% sales tax) socialist inclined government with right to die (or they said so).
Everyone else said what I would have said to the asshat that placed the litter on the windshield. The NW is full of fucking idiots. If you live there, sorry. It's a shitty part of the country.
Quick story. I worked for a helo company doing "select cut" logging, meaning we only took the mature trees. The old, damaged, young trees all remained. We pulled the mature trees straight out with a very large helicopter. This type of logging leaves the forest still looking like a forest when we left. It was hard shitty work, but it paid well. Inevitably, EVERY week some "hippy yuppy" loser type would roll up and try tell us to stop logging we're killing the trees. We would ask the guy where he lived and he would tell us the name of the small town. We would then ask if he had a deck on his house. Most would say "why, yes!" and begin to brag about their rare Redwood or Cedar deck that they had installed at great expense. The next question was where do you FUCKING think the WOOD comes from ASSHOLE? Worked everytime.
Seriously, I waste time on a lot of things, but how big a douche does the author of that little flyer have to be?
I wish the author was caught-in-the-act and the driver plowed him into a fucking wall. Then he could ask, "Now that your legs are broken and your bleeding on the ground, do you give a fuck how much pollution the car that hit you is giving off? I didn't think so."
hitler enlisted all of the major German companies in WWII. That's where facism was coined. Volkswagen or People's car continued after the war run by the auto workers.
A concerning aspect of your story is that these people are allowed to vote.
There really is no hope for the Human Race. For every asshat that is currently in a position of power, there are litterly thousands who would take their place.
Did that happen near the Feminist Bookstore? I don't know what to say anymore. When I was in Western Idaho the other day I saw some of those types of people with CA, OR and WA plates. I do not know what planet these types of people are from. I didn't create any trouble or say anything but I noticed that they leave their trash laying around. They do not practice what they preach. I did not leave once piece of trash ANYWHERE out West and I made sure my children didn't either. In fact, we picked up a lot of trash. These people want to tell us how to live our lives but can't mind their own business and can't pick up their trash. That pisses me off big time.
What if I came over to your place as a guest and threw a bunch of garbage on your lawn? Would you like that? Fuck no you wouldn't. To top it all off, after littering up your place, I would tell you that you that are not living your life the right way and then steal some money from you. That is what those people really are.
I liked the native Idahoans and Montanans. I had no problem with ANY of them. The fuckers from the Left Coast on the other hand are dickheads. They bring money and spend it there but they like to trash the place. You just don't do that sort of shit on someone else's lawn. If you want to ruin your own place and live in squalor then go for it but don't do that to your neighbors and tell them that they are assholes. We left Idaho cleaner than what we found when we arrived and I am hardcore conservative/libertarian. Imagine that.
Is everyone fucking brainwashed? What a crock of horse shit this whole global warming thing is. Fewer and fewer people can discern propaganda from the truth and not only do they buy the fucking lie, they enforce it for the liars!
Who remembers the "Ozone hole" scare from a few years ago? How about "the coming ice age" from the late '70s? More lies, tampered with numbers and unadulterated bullshit that people treat as a religion.
So you plunk down $30k for a daily transport machine that supposedly meets all government regulations.
Except it doesn't meet government regs and now you can't drive it and you can't sell it. I don't hear anything about VW actually doing anything to get into compliance. Meanwhile you need to fork out another $30k for something to get to work.
It's not bullshit if you are stuck with one of these. I am not but I do feel badly for the people that own these. It is fraud.
Turn group against group based on race, ownership, religion, color, sexual preference, sex, income, region, etc.
If I was VW, I'd pay NOTHING, I'd abandon the U.S., close all the dealerships, layoff all the workers and then publish the names and addresses of ALL EPA employees (contractor and government). I'm sure the Chinese can help with that list and I'm sure coal workers, steel workers, workers and business owners in general would love to know who sits in air-conditioned offices all day ruining the lives of others, not to mention those living on the Animas River and the EPA debacle there. F'n suits make me sick. You talk about the environment being ruined. How about the lives of unemployed laborers being ruined.
If the left is all about playing group against group, maybe it's time to play along.
At least in my state that is how it is. If I am not mistaken, the laymans term for 'opacity" is smoke. On my Dodge cummins I can put stage V injectors, a fuelling box and a shit ton of other legal mods and boost my horsepower to 600+ and my torque to WELL OVER 1300 FT LBS.
Guess what, it will still pass emissions. Thus, emission testing on diesels is a total fucking scam and the State is only interested in getting their $30.
I'm visiting friends in Portland again tomorrow, but I'll never live there again. I was leaving my brother's house up there earlier this year, and started my 21-year-old car and let it warm up (which takes up to 3 or 4 minutes on a cold day) while running back inside to give him a hug goodbye...
...and this neighbor woman follows me up the stairs to my brother's door, knocks while taking two steps inside the living room, then asks about the running car outside. I explained that the car was mine, that I was just letting it warm up, and that nothing was amiss situationally. She then proceeded to pour out this cascade of concern about global warming, and rudely scoffed about my choice to warm my old car up.
I admitted to her that, yes, I was single-handedly destroying the environment by warming my car up, but that I was about to hop in and drive it, after which everything would be fine and I wouldn't be hurting the environment any more. She was confused, nodded her head as though she approved of my earth-conscious logic, and reticently dismissed herself from the encounter.
That, my ZH friends, perfectly sums up today's self-important Portlander. And don't bother with that vastly overrated sketch comedy show on IFC: Portland is NOT weird. Rather, it's very, very typical.
Someone please explaining to me why diesel emissions are so bad since they are carbon dioxide (CO2) and not carbon monoxide (CO). Animals and humans breath out carbon dioxide which is used by plants. Carbon monoxide will kill you.
Don't ever lock yourself in the garage with you TDI and try to off yourself. It won't work.
On the off chance this is not a rhetorical question I'll give you an answer, non rhetorical answer that is.
Both diesel and gasoline powered engines emit both carbon monoxide and dioxide. Although, diesels emit much less monoxide but I wouldn't test that theory out. Diesel engines emit particulates like sulfur which is a concern for clean, breathable air not necessarily climate change. The U.S. Has far fewer diesel cars than Europe so having the same or nearly the same emissions standards makes little sense. Modern Diesel engines are much cleaner than the smoke screen cars of old.
As an aside you can run kerosen in a diesel with increased horsepower but it spews thick black smoke. Wonder what aviation fuel which is just clean kerosen would do in a diesel?
With dieaels it's not CO nor CO2 (which is just plant food). It' nitrogen oxides, typically called NOx .
Back in the saner days before CO2 was declared a pollutant, SOx and NOx were still limited in emissions, and they are real pollutants that cause smog. These "cheat" diesel engines are emitting real pollution, unlike gasoline engines.
yeah, but the Kenworth is delivering the organic overpriced food these greentards eat and the hipster doofus clothes and electronic shit they rudely walk around with causing traffic jams on the sidewalk, so can't mess with any of that
The Kenworth is post-processing its exhaust with urea, of which it has a big tank that has to be refilled periodically. These little economy diesels don't have urea tanks, so they have to cheat to make the numbers.
As I ponder this, I can't help but wonder what would possess someone to be such a fucking annoying douchebag asswipe busybody that they would go through the trouble of printing up notes (doesn't paper and ink use destroy the planet?) and then have the gall to go post it on someone elses vehicle?
What fucking right do they have to judge other people?
This has to be a phony deal, nobody is that fucking deluded to do this, are they? It's like some fucking religion - your going to hell because you drive a TDI.
The unofficial motto for Portland, Oregon is "keep Portland weird". Actually Oregon is just different..the only state where you are not allowed to pump your gas for safety reasons but are allowed by the state to kill yourself...
The reason you can't pump your own gas in Oregon is many moons ago when gas stations had attendants a customer w/a cigarette started pumping gas and the attendant ran out to stop him. that's when the pump exploded killing the customer and the attendant.
The real reason that you can't pump your own gas is the same as in New Jersey -- mandatory pump attendants means thousands of low-paying jobs that Americans don't want, even at $15/hr, because who would want that kind of shitty job? But then, most politicans have never heard of "economic inclusion" -- especially right-wingers.
We live in America, we are lied to almost constantly by ZWO media, ZWO entertainment, and fucking ZWO politicians and we're supposed to get our undies all bunched up over this VW crap?
How could I foget the ZWO educational machine talking about liars........must be getting forgetful.
I miss the Toyota floor mat days. Out of control drivers who cannot put car in neutral and turn the key off, drift to a stop. Auto maker may want to create a redundancy, install two emergency brakes.
Gracchus: Fear and wonder, a powerful combination. Falco: You really think people are going to be seduced by that? Gracchus: I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the coliseum. He'll bring them death - and they will love him for it.
Funny that a faked up note and story about Portland and VWs on ZH could solicit so many angry comments. We are all played so easily. Life is just theater.
I live 8 miles from Portland, on the other side of the columbian. Its a cesspool of liberal scum second only to san francisco. The other day the city fined a bar owner $400,000 because he (politely) asked a club of trannies called the Rose City TGirls not to meet at his bar anymore on friday nights because it was hurting business.
It is perfectly possible to "care about pollution" without considering carbon dioxide to be a pollutant.
Anyone that thinks the AGW movement is about "pollution" or the "environment" is utterly lost.
Ask yourself why ALL policy prescriptions for "climate change" involve wealth transfer? Why not just fund an all-out, Apollo-style drive to create clean energy?
Answer: because while that would solve climate change, it wouldn't solve inequality. In fact, it would worsen inequality, because the West has been the runaway winner in everything for 400 years.
AGW is about global wealth redistribution, NOT climate.
A lot less than Al Gore's private jet that he flew all over the world proposing a police state and new taxes ... I mean babbling about the environmental problem he invented
Volkswagon was indeed started by the Nazis. German Nazis. Had they been Jewish Nazis, the US would have passed a law making it illegal to boycott them... Or even just boycott the factories built on French soil.
It looks like some unhappy wigger about to go down on an 11-year-old's penis.
Bring back the cat. The cat was cool.
But why is this nazi thing so important to your sense of self-identity? I mean, isn't there something else that interests you? Something else that you'd care to hold a conversation on? Football? Home canning? Putting a new cam in a 72 SS-454? Proper ways of felling a lodgepole pine? I mean, you must have hobbies and interests outside of this continuous crusade, although I should perhaps not ascribe such a religious term to your avowedly secular campaign.
Assuming a rapidly approaching crisis, I fail to understand what you can do about these things you assert in the time that remains. Wouldn't it be better to make sure that your own circumstances are fully secure rather than delving into these arcane and largely irrelevant issues you struggle with?
Some of what you worry about seems to lead down the road of semantic confusion that delights in an effort to assert a series of Orwellian neologisms such as your unique new claim that the Jews are actually Nazis even as you stipulate to the idea of Nazi Nazis who are presumably opposed to the Jewish Nazis except in cases where they cooperate with each other against, I presume, the Communist Nazis, or the Libertarian Nazis, or some other new iteration of the Heil Brigade.
I mean, I have my own hobby horses as well, but, come on, man. I dare you to say something fully and seriously derogatory about your own side. Surely your avatar is not representative of a member of a band of stainless angels. Is everything a plot, and is every plot propounded by the same monolithic group of obedient automatons?
The price of VW TDI's are going to drop thru the floor. Now is the time to start looking, they are great engines with great fuel economy.
The trick here in my town is buy a dodge diesel PU, then turn the inject pum up and roll coal. When you get behind one it makes you sick. The TDI does not put out a cloud of smoke, if fact, I have never seen one smoke on acceleration.
My wife's audi was burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and never smoked at all. These vw/audi systems have some kind of oil catch can somewhere in the line. The audi dealer rebuilt the engines as part of a recall. German engineering has changed from advancing technology to advancing the impression that they are advancing technology. It is similar to the US education system where students are taught that they are smart but they are not actually taught anything that would make them actually smart. See cancer reseach and climate science for more examples of this.
A) Are we really that much more intelligent than these people?
With greenos logic, we would give more money to the government so they could battle global warming or climate change, or whatever they call it now. When they can't even run the fucking post office effectively.
B) At what point, or maybe an event takes place, that will make us realize that a productive society cannot function with your run of the mill San Francisco liberal, or really any liberal for that matter?
This crap is beyond frustrating. It's truly a cult. The arrogance to think that any man can have control over creation. What do we do????? I think the South had it right
Please provide me some sanity, ZH. At this rate, I'm going to have a stroke at 25 years old.
It's not a cult, it's a religion like any other. Michael Crighton called it like it is:
“I studied anthropology in college, and one of the things I learned was that certain human social structures always reappear. They can't be eliminated from society. One of those structures is religion. Today it is said we live in a secular society in which many people---the best people, the most enlightened people---do not believe in any religion. But I think that you cannot eliminate religion from the psyche of mankind. If you suppress it in one form, it merely re-emerges in another form. You can not believe in God, but you still have to believe in something that gives meaning to your life, and shapes your sense of the world. Such a belief is religious. Today, one of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism. Environmentalism seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists.” —Michael Crichton, in remarks to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in 2003, quoted at http://www.sullivan-county.com/immigration/e2.html
I remember lighting a cigarette in my car one day and while I was exiting a parking lot. Some guy comes running at me yelling because I was smoking. I just shook my head and left.
As they begin forcing TDI owners to have their cars flashed at the dealership via refusal to offer registration to those without the update, wonder who will come up with a hack around first? YESSS, sign me up for reduced fuel mileage and lower performance.
Don't worry, Dood! Gearheads have already led the way. You can get your car chipped to run better and be undetectable to sensors or you can re-set your computer to run any profile you want, then re-re-set your computer to run the DMV specs when you get inspected. I intend to do just that once the DMV forces me to get in compliance. Apparently, the gearheads have figured out how to program your car to run even better than stock. Just download, plug in, and watch your mileage.
I don't give a shit about VW's diesels pumping out poisonous shit.
What I do care about is the fact that they went to extreme lengths to lie and hide the fact that if you breathed their fucking poison gas emitting machines fumes you would croak as surely as you would in Belsen or Dachau but without the fucking guards and trains.
If they told the fucking truth then anyone could decide whether to fucking croak or not from buying their shit.
I'm going straight out and buy a Jetta TDI. It is a physical impossibility for a TDI to polite more than a Chevy Suburban...which "environmental shill" website was that "fact" pulled from??
what sort of utter utter douche puts this on someones windshield??! condescending self righteous patronising little shit. Assumes the driver doesnt listen to the news, has got enough money to switch cars, isnt already worried about the issue, that the car is actually one of the only 13,000 effected in the USA. Went to all the trouble designing and printing and trolling parking lots so they could express their petty view instaed of doing something more positive and worth while. smh
Remember that Southpark whee Randy Marsh gets a prius and goes around giving out climate tickets to SUVs? This is just as sad-only it's life imitating "art," which is even more sad.
Remember the VW Rabbit diesel in the early 70's Not TDI , normal diesel. Slow acceleration but you could get abot 60 mpg on the interstate on long trips.
while the flyer is cute i could have been hugging the tree they murdered to print it. may i suggest that next time send an email, you will have the added benefit of the NSA keeping a copy of your concern on record.
Don't care. If it is efficient and gets great mileage (mine gets up to 54), I couldn't care less. Cheating Califorinia's CARB regs is just gravy.
As long as China is a polluter, nothing we do matters, anyway, so fuck it. Gimme my good mileage-otherwise, I'm going to get a redneck landtank Ford F300 and make MOAR emissions.
Plus, even if DMV makes me re-flash my computer to run lame, I'll just re-re-flash it to run even better than stock. So you tree hugging losers with your anonymous handbills can choke on it.
I'd recommend VW/Germany go medieval on the whole fucking lot. I'd pull the motherfucking plug on the whole operation in the US. Fuck the lot of them. Then go bankrupt. Donald can give them some pointers.
You know what, I'm pretty sure that very idea is making the rounds in the Volkswagen HQ at least twice a day, now.

We're all slaves and zion amen is our master.
NO debtors prisons here, kid.
IN fact, people here are not big on credit cards or getting into debt.
Now that's funny. Do you own a color printer?
What the fuck are you babbling about? Some advice, don't get fucked up before you post!
Nice cat. Just had a litter of kittens this afternoon. Not me personally, of course.
all I know is that while Jews dominated all sorts of trade, they had absolutely nothing at all to do with the Transatlantic slave trade.
And if they *had* it would be anti-semitic to say so.
Is that right?
Well, I have no idea if the Dutch traders who introduced the first cargo of black slaves into the Americas were Jewish. My bet would be Dutch Reformed. But they were definitely Dutch.

I wish the author was caught-in-the-act and the driver plowed him into a fucking wall. Then he could ask, "Now that your legs are broken and your bleeding on the ground, do you give a fuck how much pollution the car that hit you is giving off? I didn't think so."
(My Cousin Vinny-esque)
from the note I get an impression of a tree hugging, pole smoker.
But then you'd knock his fedora off.
Couldn't pay me to drive that junk.
hitler enlisted all of the major German companies in WWII. That's where facism was coined. Volkswagen or People's car continued after the war run by the auto workers.
They were the National Socialist party and were very very socialist, not fascist...
VW didn't do anything unethical, obviously administratively illegal, but nothing immoral. Full disclosure: Former owner of two VW TDIs.
It is obvious that a large share of "air pollution" is caused by liberals and deadbeats BREATHING!
Someday the powers that be will decide that there are too many people and devise a way to eliminate
half a billion of them thru war or disease. Just a matter of time..........

That is so Portland. I miss that place.

What if I came over to your place as a guest and threw a bunch of garbage on your lawn? Would you like that? Fuck no you wouldn't. To top it all off, after littering up your place, I would tell you that you that are not living your life the right way and then steal some money from you. That is what those people really are.
I liked the native Idahoans and Montanans. I had no problem with ANY of them. The fuckers from the Left Coast on the other hand are dickheads. They bring money and spend it there but they like to trash the place. You just don't do that sort of shit on someone else's lawn. If you want to ruin your own place and live in squalor then go for it but don't do that to your neighbors and tell them that they are assholes. We left Idaho cleaner than what we found when we arrived and I am hardcore conservative/libertarian. Imagine that.
Is everyone fucking brainwashed? What a crock of horse shit this whole global warming thing is. Fewer and fewer people can discern propaganda from the truth and not only do they buy the fucking lie, they enforce it for the liars!
Who remembers the "Ozone hole" scare from a few years ago? How about "the coming ice age" from the late '70s? More lies, tampered with numbers and unadulterated bullshit that people treat as a religion.
Die you fucking global warming believers!
i feel your pain
Bad news: the smug Portland hipster is right. The diesel-fumes scandal is pretty massive and still under-reported.
Who cares? It's all bullshit.
So you plunk down $30k for a daily transport machine that supposedly meets all government regulations.
Except it doesn't meet government regs and now you can't drive it and you can't sell it. I don't hear anything about VW actually doing anything to get into compliance. Meanwhile you need to fork out another $30k for something to get to work.
It's not bullshit if you are stuck with one of these. I am not but I do feel badly for the people that own these. It is fraud.
They can fix it and will offer to do so, but it will then run like crap.
I'd try to avoid the fix and just drive the car until it croaks, same as I do for all my cars.
Green is the new red.
Germany doesnt get iss gold ,Merkel gets some NSA spying ,Now the lame ass EPA goes after VW .a message is being sent
This is how the left rolls.
Turn group against group based on race, ownership, religion, color, sexual preference, sex, income, region, etc.
If I was VW, I'd pay NOTHING, I'd abandon the U.S., close all the dealerships, layoff all the workers and then publish the names and addresses of ALL EPA employees (contractor and government). I'm sure the Chinese can help with that list and I'm sure coal workers, steel workers, workers and business owners in general would love to know who sits in air-conditioned offices all day ruining the lives of others, not to mention those living on the Animas River and the EPA debacle there. F'n suits make me sick. You talk about the environment being ruined. How about the lives of unemployed laborers being ruined.
If the left is all about playing group against group, maybe it's time to play along.
Diesels are tested for "opacity" correct?
At least in my state that is how it is. If I am not mistaken, the laymans term for 'opacity" is smoke. On my Dodge cummins I can put stage V injectors, a fuelling box and a shit ton of other legal mods and boost my horsepower to 600+ and my torque to WELL OVER 1300 FT LBS.
Guess what, it will still pass emissions. Thus, emission testing on diesels is a total fucking scam and the State is only interested in getting their $30.
Fuck those greenie communist hippie fucks in Poorland OR.
I hope the Chinese wipe them and seattle off the map first.
Red commies to nuke clueless commie fucks.
Now, THAT I would pay to see!
ooow, it said, NAZI's. ZH'ers choke on their beer. lol
I'm visiting friends in Portland again tomorrow, but I'll never live there again. I was leaving my brother's house up there earlier this year, and started my 21-year-old car and let it warm up (which takes up to 3 or 4 minutes on a cold day) while running back inside to give him a hug goodbye...
...and this neighbor woman follows me up the stairs to my brother's door, knocks while taking two steps inside the living room, then asks about the running car outside. I explained that the car was mine, that I was just letting it warm up, and that nothing was amiss situationally. She then proceeded to pour out this cascade of concern about global warming, and rudely scoffed about my choice to warm my old car up.
I admitted to her that, yes, I was single-handedly destroying the environment by warming my car up, but that I was about to hop in and drive it, after which everything would be fine and I wouldn't be hurting the environment any more. She was confused, nodded her head as though she approved of my earth-conscious logic, and reticently dismissed herself from the encounter.
That, my ZH friends, perfectly sums up today's self-important Portlander. And don't bother with that vastly overrated sketch comedy show on IFC: Portland is NOT weird. Rather, it's very, very typical.
Same disease on the east coast.
The wakeup call will be epic.
(I do recycle and drive a honda accord 4cyl. BTW)
Oops, guess they didn't cover that one in her talking points. lol.
People can't fucking think for themselves. They can only repeat what people tell them. Idiots. The Dilbert Principle is alive and well.
This emission thingy is such a non-issue while millions of Barbarians invade their nation.
It's pretty crazy.
That VW fell for the same stunt again? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
fuck these greentards. what country is this and what did they do with the america I used to live in with freedom and liberty for all
Someone please explaining to me why diesel emissions are so bad since they are carbon dioxide (CO2) and not carbon monoxide (CO). Animals and humans breath out carbon dioxide which is used by plants. Carbon monoxide will kill you.
Don't ever lock yourself in the garage with you TDI and try to off yourself. It won't work.
Fuck you. Don't you fucking dare inject science into feelings.
On the off chance this is not a rhetorical question I'll give you an answer, non rhetorical answer that is.
Both diesel and gasoline powered engines emit both carbon monoxide and dioxide. Although, diesels emit much less monoxide but I wouldn't test that theory out. Diesel engines emit particulates like sulfur which is a concern for clean, breathable air not necessarily climate change. The U.S. Has far fewer diesel cars than Europe so having the same or nearly the same emissions standards makes little sense. Modern Diesel engines are much cleaner than the smoke screen cars of old.
As an aside you can run kerosen in a diesel with increased horsepower but it spews thick black smoke. Wonder what aviation fuel which is just clean kerosen would do in a diesel?
With dieaels it's not CO nor CO2 (which is just plant food). It' nitrogen oxides, typically called NOx .
Back in the saner days before CO2 was declared a pollutant, SOx and NOx were still limited in emissions, and they are real pollutants that cause smog. These "cheat" diesel engines are emitting real pollution, unlike gasoline engines.
Tell the note writer I said to fuck off.
Oh no something went wrong, Well you're much too fat and a little too long
Hey hey got too much to lose; Gotta get on home to the animal zoo
Spirit - Animal Zoo
The Sun bombards Earth with more energy in one hour, than all of mankind burns in one year.
I can't see how VWs are creating climate change.
A Kenworth that gets 5 miles per gallon and passes an emissions test = GOOD!! :)
A Diesel sedan that gets 45 miles per gallon and fails an emissions test = BAD!! ;(
yeah, but the Kenworth is delivering the organic overpriced food these greentards eat and the hipster doofus clothes and electronic shit they rudely walk around with causing traffic jams on the sidewalk, so can't mess with any of that
The Kenworth is post-processing its exhaust with urea, of which it has a big tank that has to be refilled periodically. These little economy diesels don't have urea tanks, so they have to cheat to make the numbers.
(Lifting leg to fart) Such apples and oranges.
As I ponder this, I can't help but wonder what would possess someone to be such a fucking annoying douchebag asswipe busybody that they would go through the trouble of printing up notes (doesn't paper and ink use destroy the planet?) and then have the gall to go post it on someone elses vehicle?
What fucking right do they have to judge other people?
This has to be a phony deal, nobody is that fucking deluded to do this, are they? It's like some fucking religion - your going to hell because you drive a TDI.
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Portland...
PETA.
The unofficial motto for Portland, Oregon is "keep Portland weird". Actually Oregon is just different..the only state where you are not allowed to pump your gas for safety reasons but are allowed by the state to kill yourself...
The reason you can't pump your own gas in Oregon is many moons ago when gas stations had attendants a customer w/a cigarette started pumping gas and the attendant ran out to stop him. that's when the pump exploded killing the customer and the attendant.
The attendant was the Governor of Oregon son.
Fuck orrgone and fuck the governors son who was too stupid to live.
Judging from the stupidity of that law, the accident cleaned the gene pool quite nicely as intended.
Bullshit.
The real reason that you can't pump your own gas is the same as in New Jersey -- mandatory pump attendants means thousands of low-paying jobs that Americans don't want, even at $15/hr, because who would want that kind of shitty job? But then, most politicans have never heard of "economic inclusion" -- especially right-wingers.
They had me offended at "cute".
If anyone ever calls one of my cars cute I will drive it right up their ass.
most VWs ever made were cute, nothing much more
My reply to letter.
Dear Portland Beatnik,
Go take a cold shower and detail your VW for resale. You got bamboozled on Global warming.
Revoking the asinine law will relieve a caustic lawsuit expense on taxpayers. Wait until FIAT gets busted. Coming to a theater near you.
/hahahahaa
On second thought.....what if this was stuck on the windshield by the owner looking for attention?
he should have put a couple bullet holes through the window, or torched it, if he was looking for attention.
They said Portland... not Detroit...
This type of bullshit happens in Auburn, AL. So much for the Heart of Dixie being of their own mind
The Pope will look like a complete Marxist asshole. God works in mysterious ways.
He looks like a complete Marxist asshole only because they told you to look at him that way.
So sit down, shut the fuck up... and do as you are told.
not to mention VW lied to you
We live in America, we are lied to almost constantly by ZWO media, ZWO entertainment, and fucking ZWO politicians and we're supposed to get our undies all bunched up over this VW crap?
How could I foget the ZWO educational machine talking about liars........must be getting forgetful.
I miss the Toyota floor mat days. Out of control drivers who cannot put car in neutral and turn the key off, drift to a stop. Auto maker may want to create a redundancy, install two emergency brakes.
Gracchus: Fear and wonder, a powerful combination.
Falco: You really think people are going to be seduced by that?
Gracchus: I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the coliseum. He'll bring them death - and they will love him for it.
WTF kind of faggotry is this?
Whoever made this has a point. VW owners = suckers.
Also founded by Nazis, the world's first laws against cruelty to animals.
Didn't they pretty much perfect abortion as we know it today also? We are just SOOOOO different in modern day america.........
this whole VW crap is about the $$ & trying to keep it from becoming obsolete plain & simple.
Anything else is just disinfo.
This has got to be a joke fitting only because its Portland. Now if that was found in Detroit, that would be steering.
Funny that a faked up note and story about Portland and VWs on ZH could solicit so many angry comments. We are all played so easily. Life is just theater.
Seems like ZH has many German readers.
Goebbels = Winterkorn
I live 8 miles from Portland, on the other side of the columbian. Its a cesspool of liberal scum second only to san francisco. The other day the city fined a bar owner $400,000 because he (politely) asked a club of trannies called the Rose City TGirls not to meet at his bar anymore on friday nights because it was hurting business.
That's what you get for supporting the "public accomodation" principle -- i.e. the civil rights movement.

Since when USA cares about pollution?
USA didn't sign "Kyoto agreement" that tells us: USA doesn't care at all!
China also didn't sign. Two biggest polluters in the world.
It is perfectly possible to "care about pollution" without considering carbon dioxide to be a pollutant.
Anyone that thinks the AGW movement is about "pollution" or the "environment" is utterly lost.
Ask yourself why ALL policy prescriptions for "climate change" involve wealth transfer? Why not just fund an all-out, Apollo-style drive to create clean energy?
Answer: because while that would solve climate change, it wouldn't solve inequality. In fact, it would worsen inequality, because the West has been the runaway winner in everything for 400 years.
AGW is about global wealth redistribution, NOT climate.
what I'm wondering is just how much these additional vw emmisions have contributed to global warming.
A lot less than Al Gore's private jet that he flew all over the world proposing a police state and new taxes ... I mean babbling about the environmental problem he invented
No one on the Left seems to understand the meaning of the word "sanctimonious."
It's as if they don't even know the word exists!
The pansy that wrote the note also seems unaware of Godwin's Law, which specifies that he just lost the argument.

FUCK YOU, VW!!!!!!!!!! BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Volkswagon was indeed started by the Nazis. German Nazis. Had they been Jewish Nazis, the US would have passed a law making it illegal to boycott them... Or even just boycott the factories built on French soil.
What kind of avatar is that?
It looks like some unhappy wigger about to go down on an 11-year-old's penis.
Bring back the cat. The cat was cool.
But why is this nazi thing so important to your sense of self-identity? I mean, isn't there something else that interests you? Something else that you'd care to hold a conversation on? Football? Home canning? Putting a new cam in a 72 SS-454? Proper ways of felling a lodgepole pine? I mean, you must have hobbies and interests outside of this continuous crusade, although I should perhaps not ascribe such a religious term to your avowedly secular campaign.
Assuming a rapidly approaching crisis, I fail to understand what you can do about these things you assert in the time that remains. Wouldn't it be better to make sure that your own circumstances are fully secure rather than delving into these arcane and largely irrelevant issues you struggle with?
Some of what you worry about seems to lead down the road of semantic confusion that delights in an effort to assert a series of Orwellian neologisms such as your unique new claim that the Jews are actually Nazis even as you stipulate to the idea of Nazi Nazis who are presumably opposed to the Jewish Nazis except in cases where they cooperate with each other against, I presume, the Communist Nazis, or the Libertarian Nazis, or some other new iteration of the Heil Brigade.
I mean, I have my own hobby horses as well, but, come on, man. I dare you to say something fully and seriously derogatory about your own side. Surely your avatar is not representative of a member of a band of stainless angels. Is everything a plot, and is every plot propounded by the same monolithic group of obedient automatons?
"sympathetic and concerned citizen"
Sympathetic, no. Pathetic, yes.
The price of VW TDI's are going to drop thru the floor. Now is the time to start looking, they are great engines with great fuel economy.
The trick here in my town is buy a dodge diesel PU, then turn the inject pum up and roll coal. When you get behind one it makes you sick. The TDI does not put out a cloud of smoke, if fact, I have never seen one smoke on acceleration.
My wife's audi was burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and never smoked at all. These vw/audi systems have some kind of oil catch can somewhere in the line. The audi dealer rebuilt the engines as part of a recall. German engineering has changed from advancing technology to advancing the impression that they are advancing technology. It is similar to the US education system where students are taught that they are smart but they are not actually taught anything that would make them actually smart. See cancer reseach and climate science for more examples of this.
Would like these questions answered:
A) Are we really that much more intelligent than these people?
With greenos logic, we would give more money to the government so they could battle global warming or climate change, or whatever they call it now. When they can't even run the fucking post office effectively.
B) At what point, or maybe an event takes place, that will make us realize that a productive society cannot function with your run of the mill San Francisco liberal, or really any liberal for that matter?
This crap is beyond frustrating. It's truly a cult. The arrogance to think that any man can have control over creation. What do we do????? I think the South had it right
Please provide me some sanity, ZH. At this rate, I'm going to have a stroke at 25 years old.
It's not a cult, it's a religion like any other. Michael Crighton called it like it is:
“I studied anthropology in college, and one of the things I learned was that certain human social structures always reappear. They can't be eliminated from society. One of those structures is religion. Today it is said we live in a secular society in which many people---the best people, the most enlightened people---do not believe in any religion. But I think that you cannot eliminate religion from the psyche of mankind. If you suppress it in one form, it merely re-emerges in another form. You can not believe in God, but you still have to believe in something that gives meaning to your life, and shapes your sense of the world. Such a belief is religious. Today, one of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism. Environmentalism seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists.”
—Michael Crichton, in remarks to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in 2003, quoted at http://www.sullivan-county.com/immigration/e2.html
Excellet quote. What do we do though? I can't take this shit anymore. These people will literally reduce us to Somalia if it's not stopped.

I remember lighting a cigarette in my car one day and while I was exiting a parking lot. Some guy comes running at me yelling because I was smoking. I just shook my head and left.
This was in Los Angeles about 12 years ago.
More proof we need to ban the EPA and the unelected facist terrorists employed there.
Whomever thought of this way to screw the bureaucrats deserves a reward and a promotion
GO VW!!!
Funny thing is all the leftist dumbasses don't question the other manufactures and their emissions tests, or CARB.
BTW US emission standards are based on EU standards (GermanVW)
Or solar saleman's statements.
Wait till they find out it was the VW pension fund shares of HP that voted Carly into power.
Ecoterrorism from Environmental Jihadists who've started a Jihad on Volkswagen
As they begin forcing TDI owners to have their cars flashed at the dealership via refusal to offer registration to those without the update, wonder who will come up with a hack around first? YESSS, sign me up for reduced fuel mileage and lower performance.
Don't worry, Dood! Gearheads have already led the way. You can get your car chipped to run better and be undetectable to sensors or you can re-set your computer to run any profile you want, then re-re-set your computer to run the DMV specs when you get inspected. I intend to do just that once the DMV forces me to get in compliance. Apparently, the gearheads have figured out how to program your car to run even better than stock. Just download, plug in, and watch your mileage.
I don't give a shit about VW's diesels pumping out poisonous shit.
What I do care about is the fact that they went to extreme lengths to lie and hide the fact that if you breathed their fucking poison gas emitting machines fumes you would croak as surely as you would in Belsen or Dachau but without the fucking guards and trains.
If they told the fucking truth then anyone could decide whether to fucking croak or not from buying their shit.
I'm going straight out and buy a Jetta TDI. It is a physical impossibility for a TDI to polite more than a Chevy Suburban...which "environmental shill" website was that "fact" pulled from??
the nazis never finished their job
Yes, Volkswagen was founded by Nazis...
Now go and buy a Ford and feel proud about a guy who was a "great American".
VW may have been started by Nazis, but it was Jews that funded them
what sort of utter utter douche puts this on someones windshield??! condescending self righteous patronising little shit. Assumes the driver doesnt listen to the news, has got enough money to switch cars, isnt already worried about the issue, that the car is actually one of the only 13,000 effected in the USA. Went to all the trouble designing and printing and trolling parking lots so they could express their petty view instaed of doing something more positive and worth while. smh
Remember that Southpark whee Randy Marsh gets a prius and goes around giving out climate tickets to SUVs? This is just as sad-only it's life imitating "art," which is even more sad.
Adherence to enviro-whacko crap is akin to a 21st C. Spanish Inquisition.
Nevermind was chasing a rabbit.
Remember the VW Rabbit diesel in the early 70's Not TDI , normal diesel. Slow acceleration but you could get abot 60 mpg on the interstate on long trips.
I'll take a TDI Turbo Diesel anyday, still gets 40 mpg, if u don't have a lead foot, thank you, fk the climate bugs!
Must have been a Jew. Only they would wag the Nazi in an otherwise fine upstanding document.

eco-nazi retards.................pffffffffffffft
while the flyer is cute i could have been hugging the tree they murdered to print it. may i suggest that next time send an email, you will have the added benefit of the NSA keeping a copy of your concern on record.
I hate trees. Down with trees, who needs clean air. Up with concrete and steel and asphalt, and Chinese coal fired power plants! Moar mercury!
Self inflicted note. I haven't heard of 100's of TDI's being plastered.
So, why all the fussing, and moping? The answer is obvious: go out and buy a Chevy Suburban!
Isn't there some bad-ass fault line that could erupt and just send the entire west coast into the bottoms of the Pacific?
This scam is 2 yrs old - what gives with Barry/EPA/USG
Don't care. If it is efficient and gets great mileage (mine gets up to 54), I couldn't care less. Cheating Califorinia's CARB regs is just gravy.
As long as China is a polluter, nothing we do matters, anyway, so fuck it. Gimme my good mileage-otherwise, I'm going to get a redneck landtank Ford F300 and make MOAR emissions.
Plus, even if DMV makes me re-flash my computer to run lame, I'll just re-re-flash it to run even better than stock. So you tree hugging losers with your anonymous handbills can choke on it.
