Gas rant - Page 9

**ghostling** · 6-3-08, 2:12

why are you people bitching about gas prices. you have no right.
up here in canadia the baboons in the legislative assembly just passed a law to collect carbon emissions tax on top of gasoline prices. just wtf kind of idea is that?

so does that mean after they take the money from us, they can some how make the carbon disappear?

**Turk** · 6-3-08, 8:21

RE the carbon tax, probably as an incentive for you to take public transport etc. Really just another revenue raising thing, but I suppose it will do both. In other words, it will hopefully get people who can live without a car (close to public transport) to use it. I would happily use public transport if it wasnt so [fizzle]ing [shizzle]. No matter how much fuel my car chomps through, at least I know it will never be late, packed, cold, not show up etc etc.

My complaint is that it is cutting to far into my budget and to much more and I will really have to start making cuts or start selling contraband.

Life doesn't care if you complain or not. May as well make it more pleasant for the rest of us and not complain.

A horse would be heaps fun. Are you allowed on the road with a horse?? Sure horses are expensive blah blah, but it shouldnt take more then say $30 a week to feed a horse. And no oil changes

.

I don't think you can. They [shizzle] massive piles, which I can see someone going into a skid from slippery horse[shizzle].

I can see a ten car pile-up happening on the roads from people trying to avoid hitting road apples. LOL

I also would be worried about my horse getting spooked by so many cars flying by. I've been through that once and it was scary when your horse won't stop galloping when you want it to.

ok, so weve covered the [shizzle] aspect

but any large animal eats a ton of food and also needs veterinary care. and where are you gunna park the damn thing. it wouldnt be better than a car

I'm sure the democrats will try to pass a similar law here if they get control of the White House, Congress, and Senate. I think if that does happen in this country there will be a lot of people going ape-[shizzle] on our elected officials.

China, Japan, Korea... you name it... they have had the solution for decades.

EVERYONE rides a wee scooter around. Check their roads... millions of the [fizzle]ers!

Can you imagine if everyone (where YOU are) suddenly rode a scooter/small m/cycle. Your Gas bills would be literally quartered, you would get to school/work whatever in probably half the time etc.

Horses? what are you thinking? That is simply stupid. It costs MORE to maintain a horse than it does a car, anyday. Do yourself a favor and find out what lucern/hay whatever costs. Cheap? Yeah but you need a ton of the [shizzle] at a time. (hence the reason for horses [shizzle]ting a ton at a time. Stabling fees = exhorbitant. Na, stuff that for a joke.

And here in Africa, depending on where you are, if the [fizzle]ing horse is not stolen, it will be eaten. By both beast and man...

hahahahha

.

I was actually wondering how much it would cost to feed a horse for a week.
Hay cant be more expensive (and used) as much as fuel

Vetinary care is expensive ay, maybe so. But have you ever taken your car to a mechanic for something major. Same big costs, I would say a car costs more in that sense.

Parking will be a big issue, but if enough people jumped on the bandwagon, err horse, workplaces will become horse freindly environments

.

I would happily drive a scooter or motorbike, if every other vehicle wasnt a car. Cars would hurt too much, but I wouldnt mind having a stack withanother moped.(plus I wont look that gay being the only guy riding a moped)

I like the horse idea better, more creative.

If I elect to go into work late, at 8:00 instead of 7:00, I see a guy in a suite and tie riding every day to work on a scooter. It is kinda odd for the area I'm in. I'm waiting to get some work done to my motorcycle so I can start taking it to work, 60mpg.

About riding a horse around, the Amish do it every day.

**Turk** · 6-4-08, 8:06

Yer but they dress funny too. I want to wear a suit and ride a horse, to the office not to the local barn.

**nate_v8** · 6-4-08, 9:01

Are you sure, nothing sexier than a bonnet on a woman. Also you could grow one of those cool beards.

Sounds like a great excuse for showing up late for work
"sorry boss, someone ate my ride"

Here in Norway we pay about 9.90$ a gallon for gas
and pumps up more oil per citizen than any other countries
our roads are the worst in Europe, we pays a fortune for our cars
(even a korean eco box costs about a years income)
toll roads are planned everywhere
and the average citizen works 20-30 years to pay the loans for a home
we do even have to work 3/4 too an hour ftoo earn the price of 20 sigarettes

But our government makes loads of money
