Saw this on another forum I post at...Most of them I disagree with on, especially the half-assed note where the dumbass "don't know nothing" author said that internal-combustion engines should die...I'd post what I said about that here, but I don't feel like going back there and copying and pasting my responce, not after I spent 30 minutes b*tching about 1 particular technology...Maybe tomorrow morning...

Thoughts? Agreements or disagreements?

what a heap of shit,

what sort of moron wants to get rid of the internal combustion engine, light bulbs, DVD's and prisons.

sure, none of these things are perfect, but I wonder if that idiot stopped for a minute to think of how the world would be without such things.

Why would some one want to get rid of internal combustion engine's?

What a moron.


Disagree entirely. What would we do without DVDs?

I think the author of that should really take a look around him

we shouldn't have prisons anymore, we should just cut shit off

oooooooooooooooook people, this guy isnt saying that we should just stop making these technologies, he says that we should find something better to replace them, and i quote:

"A wise society would honor its young technical innovators for services rendered in annihilating obsolete technologies that are the dangerous hangovers of previous, less advanced generations."

a "wise society" meaning us, "would honor its young technical innovators"meaning the scientists of today, "render in annihilating obsolete technologies that are the dangerouse hangovers of previous,less advanced generations" meaning invent something better to replace them

it even says it was writen by a "humorist"

nonethe less gettin rid of the ICE is blasphemy

let me hear an AMEN

he doesnt say anything about ICE

wut a fuccing dummy.

Why should we get rid of the conbustion engine? and DVDs? argh!

I meant Internal conbustion engines

3. THE INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE       I have to confess that, as a former denizen of the 20th century, I’ll miss the loud, soul-stirring THRAAAAGH of a two-stroke motorcycle. And liter for liter, calorie for calorie, gasoline is truly the queen of liquid fuels. Nevertheless, if you stand inside a closed garage with any internal-combustion engine, it will kill you. That is bad. Even the best such engines emit an eye-watering stink.       Internal-combustion engines are big and clumsy. They are hard to tune, and they waste a lot of effort carrying their own weight. They’ve got a great incumbent fueling system built into place, but they need to be replaced by hydrogen and fuel cells, technologies that are simpler, safer, and cleaner. If you need really loud, macho engine noises, why not just record them and play them on your car stereo?

DAMN THOSE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES!! WE SHOULD ALL USE GRASS POWERED CARS, OR EVEN ELECTRICAL CARS!!!


actually, no.

WTF? that is a heap of bullshit...

Didn't Honda make a car where they claimed that the exaust fumes are cleaner then the air that went in the engine? or was that someone else...

ICE= internal combustion engine

dipshyt

EDIT:Your the dipshyt.

asshole

well sooooooory, im not down with the lingo

and anyway i dont know y people r still getting mad at the guy when ive said what he really meant

Good point

its all about the solar powered cars

solar power is a joke

well the concept of solar power isnt but the way we harness it is

Right now getting solar power is sort of a joke, but in the future you never know
