I am against genocide, or "euthanasia" for the sake of population control (I am in favor of assisted suicide in the case of terminal illness). However, I think "Chinese-style" population control is one of the few hopes for the future we have. The planet needs about 1/2 of it's current population to remain viable.

As for the rest of your post *sigh* ... y'know plunkey, you remind me of my ex-husband so much it makes my skin crawl. You simply exhaust me. When he had a disagreement with me he would pull apart every opinion with the precision of a vivisectionist. I would have to justify every single word of every single point. Maybe that's one reason why the rich and powerful get where they are, they just wear the rest of us down until we go "Fine, whatever, you win just please STFU." I used to cheat to lose when I played board games with my ex because he was such a sore loser, your arguments remind me too much of his desperate need to ALWAYS be RIGHT.

You're right about one thing though, industrial farming, particularly the wholesale pollution of groundwater and soil that comes with it, is major issue. Organics has it's own set of issues but unlike you, I don't know the solution, all I can say is we're doing something very, very wrong, America in particular. By the same token, pointing fingers and saying "what about their mess, what about that mess?" doesn't solve anything, even though it's all the world leaders keep doing. Everyone just STFU and agree on fixing shit, even if that means taking a financial hit. People need to stop making everything about ledger sheets, but greed usually trumps common sense and foresight.

work on your sentence structure and the proper use of commas
commas all over the place
slow down

no that's actually not what he's saying idiot. Once again your lack of analytical comprehension is astounding to me. And no,left to themselves Detroit would still be making cars that catapult you out of the cabin upon impact with anything over 20mph. It wasn't until govt studies came out that stuff like airbags and seatbelts skyrocket your survival rate in a crash that people started thinkin hmmmm.....the auto industry knew this for years but they weren't going to unneccessarily increase their cost unless the govt forced the entire industry to adopt those measures.

Do you seirously not realize this? are you this stupid? You probably over 30 when these measures went in so how does someone who was still in diapers at that time get this?

Instead of some moronic rant like the one posted above, answer this simple question:

Anti-lock brakes were widely adopted on even highly affordable cars despite not being mandatory. You've already stated Detroit would "still be making cars that catapulted you out of the cabin" unless the government had forced them otherwise. So explain why they willingly incurred higher manufacturing costs to offer ABS systems despite not being forced to do so?

He's not a car guy, and wasn't following these trends at the time. It is increasingly apparent that he is completely unaware of the history of that industry.

I remember it vividly. The first non-American car we could afford was a Volvo because my father was convinced it would be safer for her to haul my sister and me around.

Now you seem to be a professed expert on that era of cars, so explain why mean evil Detroit would incur huge manufacturing cost increases to supply anti-lock breaks to drivers even though they weren't mandated by the government?

Detroit didn't want to be shown up by the Germans?

1) I was talking about airbags and seatbelts,but since you bring up ABS.....

2) ABS is a performance feature you dolt brain!! Airbags and seatbelts do not directly contribute to the performance of the car nor it's desireability therefore there was no value perceived in the addition of those systems.

When ABS was first introduced it was in "luxury" class cars. I honestly don't know when ABS became standard on affordable mainstream cars, but i'm pretty sure it was the Japanese who started putting ABS on their entry line cars. In any case it doesn't matter, ABS keeps your car straight when you apply the breaks. Yes it's a safety feature but it's also a performance feature and can marketed as such. Idiot. Take a marketing class.

Chrysler and ford started using ABS brakes in 1970, something like 10-15 years before the Japanese made it standard on all cars. Germans were doing it on luxury cars prior to that.
