    That's the gray area I was speaking of but too many folks think it is a matter of simple black and white. It isn't and has never been that simple.

    There is nothing personal. Just nothing the views being espoused by certain posters, escpecially ones who seem incapable of seeing any gray area in the subject. Nothing less, nothing more. If you interpreted that as me taking it personal, then you are wrong.

    All I know is that there sure are some sensitive and rather sanctimonious folks here in regards to any criticism of capitalism while they can seemingly dish it out freely towards anything not related to capitalism. Simply astounding.

    Bear in mind that for all of Hondas success stories, hybrids are not one of them.
  5. surreal1272
    No offense but so many words yet so little said. My point is that it is wreckless on your part to assume the stance of posters here just because they "espouse" certain views. I can say that everyone deserves a shot at a decent education but that doesn't make me a socialist. That makes me a caring human being.

    I had reference that it was from organized religion but had to verify that was indeed a catholic thing. Nothing really to add to it becuase I don't believe in organized religion. 35 years in the Bible Belt turned me off of it long ago. And it is the fault of religion and man since man created religion to hold dominion over the weak and the powerless. Just my two cents and that is a subject for another time since it is unrelated to this thread.

    That would be the king of all thieves, the Catholic Church.

    You sure are making a lot of assumptions about who wants government to run everything (no one has said that they want the government to run their lives btw). Also questionable are these capitalism safeguards. When the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer, then clearly those "safeguards" are a little skewed in one direction.

    His acts and ways that he destroyed that country had nothing to do with socialism. It was socialism in name only because that was the platform he was trying to sell when he really only wanted it for himself. BTW, I am not advocating socialism here but to say that Venezuela failed because of it is being grossly misinformed. It has worked for some countries and has not worked for others, much the same as capitalism. No one system is perfect nor the be all to end all.

    To call Venezuela a purely socialist country is a bit misleading and a misnomer. It was for decades controlled by a power hungry dictator who bled the system dry and tried to "nationalize" every industry under a single umbrella while using his power to intimidate and dismiss his detractors and enemies. Ever since Chavez, the country has struggled to recover from his actions. That country was about as socialist as Cuba. To compare it to a "certain socialist country in the EU" is very much an apples to oranges comparison when you understand what has happened there over the last thirty years. http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/News/ways-chavez-destroyed-venezuelan-economy/story?id=18239956 http://www.news.com.au/world/south-america/an-australian-venezuelan-speaks-how-hugo-chavez-totally-ruined-my-country/news-story/7e47152c9573dc7e4db88899d03dd89c None of this is the direct result of socialism. It is a direct result of a failed cesspot dictator.

    The head on collision will be both sad and epic!

    Any "best interior" list that includes a Mini is not to be trusted lol. Worst ergonomics out there.
  13. surreal1272
    Understood. Having worked in behavioral health for years, I'm a little more open about calling it as I see it lol!

    Oh no. He was mental and I have quite a few old PMs to back that up but we can agree to disagree here. I'll just say good riddance.
  15. surreal1272
    "Crossing the line" doesn't even begin to describe it. He is mental.

    I am very much not a British car fan overall (reliability reasons) but the XJ is the best looking full size luxury car out there. Just love the look.
  17. surreal1272
    Certainly understandable but neither one would be a bad choice IMO.
  18. surreal1272
    With that DOHC V8 coming soon, I don't think they will be resting for long. The Slade is too big of a cash cow to let that happen but you are exactly right regarding sales.
  19. surreal1272
    I don't even want to be around anyone who does that much less ride in the same car as them. Just hell no!
  20. surreal1272
    What gets old is when someone lumps one person in with others when that one person did not "down the whole company". He simply presented his opinion.

    Escalade-2862 Navigator-897 Surely the new Navigator will close the gap.
  22. surreal1272
    It is most likely offset by being slightly larger plus having more "gadgets" than the previous gen. All of that adds up.
  23. surreal1272
    Any mention of the weight of this? I know it shaved a lot of weight going aluminum, which is a good thing but I'm curious as to the actual weight savings and how it compares to the competition.

    Talk about putting words in ones mouth. Ease up Stew. I only pointed out that a larger number of LX models were relegated to fleet than they were when they first came out. I'm not "acting like" they are all fleet and never said anything of the sort. Ease up and understand that I'm not hating on them (for more than obvious reasons). My LX was the best car I have ever owned. However, that does not blind me to the fact that the Charger and 300 are on borrowed unless FCA does something miraculous. So far, I'm just not seeing it. It sucks that FCA has taken this long to even address the damn cars properly.
  25. surreal1272
    Oh good grief man. I'm not denying the fleet presence of other makes and models but you are not looking through objective glasses if you think that fleet sales have not become a larger part of Charger sales. You already came right out and said that the Charger was purpose built for police fleets.
