I doubt that you even have any clue as to the model and make
distribution of cars in the US population.

Over half are SUVs and pickup trucks, that all get less than about 17 mpg.
I think that's all he really needs to know to make statements like he did
about "ridiculous fleet of inefficient cars".

The EPA stats indicate that at least at the 2004 model year, the
average mpg for the fleet (those acutally sold) was 21.5 mpg, up from
around 17 in '82 or so. The half sold was right.

Daniel,

Whereas I admire your determination to converse with other engineers
(you are an engineer, aren't you?) in what is obviously not your
native tongue, you really ought to know that your writing makes no

The above made perfect sense to me and it was actually very funny.

They are still looking. Just don't have a bunch of people

specifically targeting OBL like that was a dumb idea. Took assets away
from other more pressing issues.

What more pressing issues ?

Like all the others out there trying to do nasty things.
On the contrary, targetting ObL like that probably was a smart move. We
actually accomplished something (as opposed to just *declaring* "Mission
Accomplished") reasonably quickly--we dispersed the Taliban, which was ObLs
biggest source of support, and got Afghanistan under something approaching
democratic leadership, we were lucky enough not to capture or kill him (this
would have created a martyr of him; instead, he is now hiding in caves and
probably mostly impotent, likely facing grave illness soon in the brutal
Afghan winter, if not already), and had enormous emotional, logistical and
tactical support from the rest of the world.

No, the huge mistake was Iraq. No purpose, no WMDs, no threat, no plan, and
it's sucked up enormous financial and military resources, and it has
fostered new terrorism to spring up in Iraq, and led to backsliding in
Afghanistan. *That*, not going after al Qaeda, is what will prevent us from
dealing effectively with N. Korea and Iran, should it come to that.

I don't think so. A couple of things are at work here. One is the
military and cultural and technological and scientific dominance of
the USA as compared to Europe, which is bound to cause some
resentment. The other is expressed in the Chinese proverb, "if you
save someone's life, they will hate you forever."

You really are monumentally stupid.

You are fat, poor, unhappy, and frustrated by the state of the world.
I am none of these. Explain to me why I am the stupid one here.
Because you're stupidly happy in your profound ignorance ?

The only thing that worries me about the 'state of the world' is what
idiocy America's up to next.

Ignorance is bliss ? I bet that makes you feel really better !


British lads are dying for America

"For America"? What did we do, press them at sea? And why did they
join a volunteer army if they didn't want to be warriors?
The fuckwit Blair ordered them in.


and all you do is tell us we're wrong
to criticise.

That's certainly not "all I do." In fact, I don't do that at all.

I can assure you that the British public is getting VERY
pissed off. I was just watching 'Question Time' and there was a very
anti-US feeling from the audience.

All those MPs watch too much TV, too.

Without a change of tack, I can see the North Atlantic Alliance falling
apart in the next couple of years.

Since the Russians are fairly docile these days, and Germany is
united, and Eastern Europe is free, it may as well; NATO did its job,
and did it well, and it's time for us to spend our money elsewhere.
Send us a "thank you" card and some chocolates maybe. Unless Russia
invades Georgia... that would be nasty, but the resulting European
dynamics would be interesting, probably hilarious in a sick sort of
way.
You're very silly. I reckon I'd rather have Russia as an ally than the USA
frankly.

Yes, but I like many of them.

You just have a Book (The Book), being nearly thousand years old, not

But as everywhere, you can find bad and good.

How the U.S.A. managed that 50:50 voting spectacle is out of my

No, "not very interesting reply to me" means you just skip it and move on.

You respond with comments about my driving licence - which is based on a

Can you explain to me where _I_ have the problem understanding the word use?
I cant really see it.

So, you don't carry anything else? No ATM card, credit cards,
membership cards? An insurance card so you don't die while waiting for
the hospital to make sure they will be paid for their services?
