Croc

you mean this thread, not the entire board i hope!! i think it would just be more convenient if certain users were just banned outright...

Nah...LA won't be burning tonight. At least I hope not, because I have my last final tomorrow and I don't have time to get in on any rioting action :AH-HA_wink:

But the UAW has a responsibility to act in the interest of the workers. That does not include "taking one for the team" as concessions make it seem weak to its members. Communism failed, what don't you understand about that? Workers and companies working together for the common good isn't gonna happen anytime soon. Wagoner has NOTHING to do with this. Stop blaming him for everything, it makes you look silly and immature. Is he responsible for global warming, too??

Oh, I knew it was a joke. But it would be out of character if my response weren't dry.

No, I really, honestly have no idea what your post was saying. Now what is so hard to understand about THAT?

No. You didn't explain at all how any of those results related to the cost of killing them being higher than the cost of life without parole. In fact, I could barely make out the points you were trying to make (in some cases I still cannot) because your grammar is so atrocious. Trust me, if a sentence is properly written it will make sense to me.

Well, I started a thread that you most definitely responded to called LAIAS (Part I). I figured we'd meet outside the convention center. I am by principle opposed to wearing anything "cute." As for me, it will depend greatly on the weather, but if it's a typical January day in LA I will prolly be in some kind of PUMA tracksuit. As for time, I think the consensus was to make a day of it, so I'd say meet there at 11am? That way I won't be expected to wake up too early.

Your sentence lacked a clear subject, predicate, and point. I have no idea what your transcribed thought process had to do with the topic. Could you please explain it in different words and elaborate on your points? The syntax is particularly heinous.

You should consider Arizona. It gets VERY warm there. FL gets cold in winter, sometimes it snows.

No. Chevrolet.

Those "others" are just pussies ISO some thicker skin.

No. Do you see partisan politics entering into this? With the exception of razor's "bleeding heart" comment, no. If you don't like it, you don't have to post...but the rest of us would like to have an enlightening discussion.

I dunno what I think about it because I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Oldsmobile's death was IMO more related to a lack of promotion of the new lineup and lack of patience on management's part for the new lineup to catch on. They should have given it another year or two, especially with the amount of capital they had injected into the brand. There really was nothing wrong with the last Oldsmobiles except for the Silhouette. Had GM marketed Olds, there would have been a different story.

The Intrigue is a great vehicle, though my favorite is the Gen-II Aurora. It has a very muscular, yet elegant look to it, like an athlete flexing his muscles. Observe:

The jails are full because of the criminalization of nonviolent drug offenses.

Toni...BEAUTIFUL!!

It costs more to carry out a death sentence than it does to keep them incarcerated for life.

Union representation on the board? Not gonna happen.

Ugh...so trashy-looking. I'm sorry, maybe I'm elitist, but I have a hard time looking at, much less taking seriously, anyone who looks like that.

What? If you don't need heated washer fluid, then don't order the option. If the car comes with it, then it comes with it. The Lucerne is already a bargain, and $100 is a drop in the bucket when you are dealing with $30,000+

Below the woodgrain is the same squishy vinyl GM has been using there for forever. Now, if you are referring to the side of the console area in the footwells, well of course that's hard plastic as it has to hold up to scuffs. The underside of the dash is harder, but the center stack does NOT have hard plastic. That is soft-touch plastic as every review has noted. You want hard plastic, you check out the dash in the Equinox. NOTHING like that is in the Lucerne. I think you might be forgetting that all plastic has to have a degree of hardness, but the plastics in the Lucerne all have matte finishes and are not crunchy-hard. EDIT: Seriously, if you're still planning on attending LAIAS on the 13th let's just settle this then, shall we?

I agree with this. I just know that if I were the prosecuting attourney I'd feel wrong advocating for someone to die. Would I be against the death penalty? No...but I wouldn't be able to argue FOR it with a clean conscience.

No, you don't. I'm talking value as in features for the money. Using inflation-adjusted numbers, cars are more affordable than ever. Depreciation is always a factor, just as it was in the 1960s.

...because THAT will solve any of GM's problems... Yeah, forget it.
