I was wondering how long that would take to get posted...

Heh true. Sad after all of the proof showing otherwise, people are still saying that.

Ignorance can be funny for those on the sidelines though.

Scifience · Nov 1, 2004, 12:52 PM

It is very sad that you can't mention anything in this forum without it turning into a flamewar about religion or politics. I'm not blaming the Christians or the atheists, the Republicans or the Democrats - it is both sides.

This was never posted as a political statement - it was meant as something to laugh at considering all of the controversy surrounding the voting machines.

I support Kerry, but I still laugh at many of the "anti-Kerry" jokes just as much as I do at the anti-Bush ones.

Yes, comments like that one crack me up. It shows ignorance of those who make them.

Do you know how to count? Who won the popular vote smart guy?

I am saying it doesn't matter. That isn't how it works. For those who WHINE and CRYBABY about it however, it comes to great humor for the rest of us. Esp ones that called it "cheating"

BTW if you REALLY want to know who the cheaters were in the last election...

Do you really believe everything you read? Or would it be too much to ask to form an educated opinion based on the rather slanted facts the media like to present to you? All you liberals and conservative's crack me up.

BTW: I'm well aware how are great election system works.

If the article was from the Washington Post, I might pay attention to what it had to say. But since it isn't, I think I'll dismiss it as another partisan rant.

Now that cracks me up.

You spout off crap YOU read as if it was the truth. And you come to me with this.

You go right ahead. What they posted wasn't an opinion. Thems facts Bub.

Go do the research yourself. You can just like they did.

They didn't make anything up.

Um, no you're the Neon driving magazine bench racer. Who can't even remember the correct numbers. What I post here is from actual real world hands on experience. Maybe you should try it sometime.

Grabbing on the bottom of the barrel with strawmen are we?

Yes I drive a Neon. Yes, there may have been times I have given magazine results. You know, the only people that complain about such things are usually losers.

Who can't even remember the correct numbers.

Correct numbers to what? You are going off in tangents now.

What did you post in this thread from real world experience? Tell me.

Yeah, sure... you found the voting machine one, but 'forgot' to flashify the kerry cartoon that was published alongside the voting machines one...

uhu...

Usually it's the losers driving them.

Anything really. You're just one big fanboy who likes to pull numbers out of your @$$ and post magazine articles that are mostly propaganda to support your beliefs. Want proof? It took me a whole 10 seconds to find something where you pulled a number out of your ass from a magazine and still got it wrong.

Nope. Stock. Ask Rob about that one.

Show me proof! That it pulled 1g stock of the factory floor with the factory tires!

Originally posted by george68:

Sorry Zimphire, you're wrong. I remember this, they used an ACR with the koni adjustable struts, hoosier slicks, and cranked the struts to full stiff. 1 g on the skidpad. Still, 1g with just a change of tires is impressive.

So you tired to get you bed partner to back you up, and you were still wrong.

I didn't say anything in this thread, but again I think I've taken a little more time to educate myself on the subject. I don't just post one link to a place that has zero credibility_to me and believe to be the gospel. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you are fairly religious as well? If it makes you feel any better I wrote a 32 page Sr. thesis paper on this very subject that laid out the facts, as well as opinions from all sides Not oner persons someone's blind uneducated opinion of something.

However I must hand it to you, you're a keyboard jockey of which the likes I've never seen.

You can't really stab in the dark since every room is brightly lit when it comes to Zimp and this subject.
