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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 kind of avatar is that?

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.

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

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

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.
