Yoda McFly 1 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Hi there! Ehh ... Yeah. Anyway, just found the forum, which I hear my buddy Mike (Autumpuma) has been terrorizing of late, and after gate-crashing the first BatRacer game, I decided to sign up here and see how much trouble I can cause ... So, my real name is Adrien, I'm thirty-something, and have been following racing (including F1) since I was a kid. I'm loud-mouthed, arrogant, and generally a nice guy. Try not to take anything I say TOO seriously ... But I've been known to rant occasionally. I'm a JV fan going back to his Atlantics days, and it scares the living crap out of me that he's considering NASCAB. Uhh ... That's it, I guess ... Carry on.

There is no way a JV fan can hold a candle to a MS fan in these attributes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder you (re-) elected one as President! *I see now - its all so obvious. Even you guys vote for Arnie. I mean sure he's a talented actor (well no but I'm trying to be diplomatic here) but as a politician making real life or death choices? It must be grand to live in a place that has never suffered with an incompetent, overcontrolling, shady or downright dishonest politician. I bet you can't begin to express how amazing it is to have benevolent, omniscient and omnipresent leadership that solve all of your problems for you, before you even realize that you have a problem, all without you having to trouble your head over anything more complex than last night's Darts scores. There is a misperception that seems to be endemic to places that don't choose their own governments: do not assume that, just because a leader has won the position, that they have won it by a unanimous vote. In the case of "der Governator," he exploited a rare combination of a legal loophole in our (California's) election law, the fact that an abysmal "leader" was (mis)governing this state, and his recognizability and "star power," coupled with some outright lies (which politician doesn't) to dupe enough of our sheeple into believing that he would be an improvement. The good news, as with all politicians here, is that their reign term is limited. I've noticed that America-bashing is quite popular here on TotalF1. It would be much nicer if people could be bothered to research opinions and positions, rather than posting knee-jerk reactions, and prejudicial, trolling flame-bait. Which is not to say that I dislike discussion; far from it. I do, however, hate flame wars with uninformed children. That said, America does have a significant problem right now; too many franchise-holders can't be bothered to research the politicians and the issues before voting. That, of course, assumes that they vote at all. I won't lie and try to gloss this fact over. It's very possible for someone that's ill-qualified for a position, but has enough funding or "charisma" or whatever, to win the votes. Far too many people vote based on sound-bites and the inevitable pile of political mail that builds up in the weeks leading up to an election. All the rest of us can do is continue to fight our battles on the home front, attempting to educate, guide and inform our friends, neighbors, enemies, cow-orkers and anyone else that will listen. And what, precisely, is wrong with cowboys? Men who were (and still are) capable of surviving and working in difficult circumstances, with minimal guidance, and no need of micromanagement. They didn't go on strike, they paid their bills, they paid their taxes. They make sure that the property under their control was well-cared for and safe ... Let me guess, you're happier getting through the day with someone telling you what to do every step of the way: "Mop the floors, Murray. Empty the garbage, Murray. Drop some Fries, Murray. Get on the drive-through, Murray...'Uhh ... Ya want fries with that?'" Oh ... Unless, of course, you're confusing the Hollywood stereotype of "the Wild West" and "the Cowboy" for things as they were. Again, I'd recommend that you do a little research before shooting your mouth off. (And no, going to Netflix.com and renting Young Guns does not count as research).
