If that is what High School French in America leads you to believe...

I dont know...it depends... Are you the one on the bike?

I dont know...I sell hot dogs for a living... let me ask my dad...he worked at Canadair for 40 years....ooopsies...he is dead....died in 2006... Let me tell you about how Im supposed to run a restaurant in Quebec... This is a link... http://www.mapaq.gouv.qc.ca/fr/Transformation/Qualitedesaliments/Hygienesalubrite/Pages/Hygienesalubrite.aspx I hope you read French... I have to comply with these rules...if not...they close me down...

Me neither....it must be an internet thing.

No it aint Suave... There is NO time limit... HAD VW made those cars take the tests as is....those cars...were NOT gonna pass...therefore NOT sold... All those cars are ILLEGALLY on the road... Is it THAT hard to understand?

Because everybody else pollutes... We should just let VW CEOs oof the hook...and just leave the cars continuing to pollute... Its OK...because...well...pollution is everywhere...no need to try to curb it...or to set rules...let it be... http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/pictures/5-recent-underreported-environmental-disasters-20140407 From the link above... On March 22nd, almost 170,000 gallons of heavy marine fuel poured into Galveston Bay on the Texas coast after two commercial boats collided in the busy waterway. In Indiana, on March 24th, energy giant BP spilled as many as 1600 gallons of oil — a mix of domestic crude and tar sands oil from Canada — into Lake Michigan, the primary source of drinking water for Chicago's seven million residents. And on March 17th, 20,000 gallons of pipeline oil leaked into a nature preserve in southwest Ohio. Meanwhile, January's Elk River chemical spill, which contaminated the drinking water of 300,000 West Virginians, continues to frighten citizens, many of whom are still not drinking or bathing in it. Pollution has long been an accepted cost of cheap energy production, particularly in states desperate for jobs. Big Energy is a powerful presence in Washington, working hard to block and gut environmental regulation and to defang the agencies tasked with protecting the country's natural resources. Weak or outdated laws governing toxic chemicals, and the absence of standardized oversight, tracking mechanisms or meaningful punishment for oil spills and leaks gives industry the leeway to keep polluting. I guess...because THIS happens often....we should continue to keep a BLIND eye....no matter how big (like that Galveston Bay accident) or how small (how small you think it is....like in VeeDub's case) Sure...the guvment is stupid to actually try to punish and to try to CORRECT a fault... - The diesel cars from VW EXCEED the amounts TOLERABLE... - Had the EPA knew how bad those amounts were back then....the CARS WERE HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD and KEPT OFF THE STREETS...BACK THEN... VW PROFITED and MADE MONEY from this FRAUD... Yet Hyper V6 sees no problems with that...yet he sees the GERMAN government trying to get these pollutants off the streets as UNREASONABLE... Yet...someone downvotes MY posts because there is a SMIDGEN of truth to my opinion....NOW you know why I went ballistic... Its ANNOYING to have some TWIT downvote you because you state an opinion....MORE SO to than that....its as close to reality as it can get!!! STOP LIVING IN A BUBBLE....accept the fact that VW did wrong...and I...am HAPPY that the HAMMER fell UPON them... Rightfully so...Im happy... VW LIED, FRAUDED the BUYING public...AND...CONTRIBUTES TO POLLUTION KNOWINGLY AND WILLFULLLY!!! Yet some moron finds a problem with me pointing that out... Sure...its over the top... Kinda like how VW's solution to circumvent was over the top..;

Reality is that...since it does not come from Motor Trend...it does NOT suck... As long as it does not come from Motor Trend...because everything from Motor Trend is garbage...

Well...times, they are a-changin'

BUMP...JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DOWNVOTED COULD GET TO DOWN VOTE IT AGAIN!!! And DOWNVOTE IT AGAIN!!! And AGAIN

BUMP...JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DOWNVOTED COULD GET TO DOWN VOTE IT AGAIN!!! And DOWNVOTE IT AGAIN!!! BUMP...JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DOWNVOTED COULD GET TO DOWN VOTE IT AGAIN!!! And DOWNVOTE IT AGAIN!!! And AGAIN

I wouldnt be sooooo hard on this...had VW AG NOT marketed to the buying public how green their cars are... Germany....VW's HOME...decided that THIS is not acceptable... You know how protective GERMANY is of their OWN industry? Ask Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy...and even France...hell...ask ANY WW2 survivor...

There is NO plan...either FIX them or GET THEM OFF THE BLOODY road... remember this commercial? Green police... VW AG is a green company? They LIED OUTRIGHT about how GREEN their cars really are... THEY SPEW CRAP...THEY CIRCUMVENTED the software to show that the cars are LEGIT...but the cars aint LEGIT... The people whose cars cant be driven? Well they have LEGAL RECOURSE TO SUE VW AG!!! I guess though...in Mr Capitalism's Hyper V6's world...corporations are FREE TO PHOQUE THE WORLD!!!

EPA laws are there for EVERYBODY to repesct and to COMPLY... Who the hell is VW CEOs to circumvent them??? Bosch even WARNED them NOT to install those on the cars to be sold to the public... Yeah I know...the guvment's fault because the drunk outside your street pissed on the sidewalk...and did not shot to maim him...

Foolish you say??? The cars POLLUTE.... They DONT confirm with the environment... What is it that you dont understand from all of this??? Blame the government all you want...IT IS VW and ITS CEOs that are KNOWINGLY POLLUTING!!! It aint the GUVMENT that circumvented the bloody cars to POLLUTE... But I know...you told me that I was against the rich guy... Yoy know what you are???? Yoy are a modern hippie....problem is that those 1960s hippies....they actually cared for the planet...YOU dont trust the government that YOU actually VOTED... ITS A DEMOCRACY your government... Excuse me...a republic as another similar type such as yourself once told me... Hate the government dude...but for Christ's sake...lay blame where blame needs to be laid... There are laws there for a bloody reason...

BUMP...JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DOWNVOTED COULD GET TO DOWN VOTE IT AGAIN!!!

So ...how do you like your VW now???!!! You might as well paint that VeeDub Black, bro...never you mind all those psychedelic colours and the flowers... Because all that smoke and smog those "clean" diesels create...BLACK is more appropriate...

OK...I called it... Like I keep on harping. Environmental laws are put into place for a reason... When products dont comply...they dont comply... Environmental disasters are a big deal... Does this one qualify as a disaster? Maybe the word disaster is a tad too harsh...but it aint too far away from it either... I like this GIF tooo much...I gots to play it again, Sam... BOOOM!!! The HAMMER DROPPED!!! Not yet....but its close to happening...

I feared this might happen... Well...fear from where Im sittin at might not be the accurate terminilogy... That would be a more accurate expression...giddy...and now Im ECTASTIC!!! ELATED!!! Oldsy...show some class!!! NEVER!!! I WANT MORE!!! BLOOD!!! Time for California...or the entire country......NORTH AMERICA....to do the same...BAN VW DIESELS!!!

I fearlessly predict that Sergio's not too worried right now. He's probably booking a flight to Wolfsburg as we speak. Operation Eiche...but in reverse? I like that 1970s Fiat 124 that is pictured...the modern Miata based 124...the jury is still out in that one...

Well...The Quebec Nordiques SHOULD get a hockey team...because its a shame for a beautiful arena like that to go to waste... Now that the Habs finished their pre-season game...unto the Blue Jays I go to see what is happening there... EDIT: Damn...the game is over...

I had to google to find out who is Stefano Dimera Now I understand why you were ashamed to smile...and OCNBLU...you too..should be ashamed... Soap operas...*sheesh*

About Chris Elliott? He made a couple of movies in the 1990s and early to mid 2000s...What about Mary, Cabin Boy, King Pin, and a family favorite during winter days...Snow day and many others... Today? I dont really know.

To be honest..I know not much about Ford. Only what we heard of him through the news...which was...of course..the bad stuff... That is why I DONT want Harper...Quebecois and Quebec are NOT a nation within a United Canada....we are ALL effin' Canucks...no iffs, buts or ands.. No one Canadian is more Canadian then the next and no one Canadian is a special kind of Canadian...except me of course...Im special... That and the F-35....He keeps pushing it...even when the US Air Force dont want it... Yup...Greece now...has been given the tools to dig up their mess...its time for them to do some diggin' The latest talks...Tsipras made some long term decisions that should benefit Greece...and Germany and Europe actually agreed to them...and to help...but it takes Greeks to do some very heavy lifting...in their own country...something that admittedly...did not do in the past... Granted...Wars...independant freedom wars...civil wars, World Wars and foreign wars might have taken front and center...but like I keep on harpering...that is in the past...they are in the Euro-Zone...and finally, Europe is actually acting unified...

I love Chris Elliott. I used to watch David Letterman on NBC in the 1980s and loved it when Elliott was a guest...but I dont remember this show...

- Euro-Zone wanted Greece...or else Greece would not have gotten in... - non-industrial small countries... This I agree...but...pertaining to Greece...Greece is in the Euro-Zone...what did the Euro-Zone do to help protect Greece from a world wide bank melt down? The first austerity measures were put into place to help German Banks get outta trouble through the backs of Greeks... With that aside...what else did the Euro-Zone do to not only to help Greece...but Spain, Italy, Portugal? Let us not forget that Spain and Italy actually do have industry.... And what is France's problem? You know...France is almost in the same danger as Greece...but they actually build shyte...and they also sell military hardware to anybody that wants to buy it... Yeah..I know...socialism... Quebec...social programs....actually...THAT is NOT what is KILLING Quebec...1 million plus Anglos leaving...many HQ corporations leaving Montreal to go to Toronto...because of the threat of separation and language laws... Ontario...WTF is their problem? I dont know...Mayor Ford spent all that Ontario money on hookers and cocaine? When the Province of Quebec and Montreal were THE economy of Canada...all things were well...and THAT includes Quebec GIVING to the West...so...the West MIGHT AS WELL GIVE BACK to the East today... As far as Mulcair and Trudeau go...I wish one was Layton and the other Pierre Elliot....but since both are no longer with us...like you...both names will not be crossed off...I need to see which of the two corresponds with my vision of Canada better... Quebec is on its way again...thanx to Couillard and Montreal too thanx to Mr Mayor Coderre...
