using them for your name is certainly not proper comma usage.

Thank you everyone commenting on this. For proving you do not deserve a country.

Ignorance is bliss! Keep on taking it!

Hopefully you will self implode like the Roman Empire, or even the Soviet Union!

haha — yeah, that would be funny. It would be: “probability of being a bigot”, and it would have two vertical bars. The first bar would be: “Not bigoted towards race, but think southerners are bigoted”; and the second would be “Live in the south.”

The first bar would be at 100%, and the second bar would be at about 10%.

By: Neil

Neil — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:58:00 +0000

What I meant was that there’s this bigotry towards people in the south. They’re seen as rednecks and bigots. And this is by those who claim to be liberal minded and not bigotted.

So it’s ironic that those who claim to be not bigotted (in terms of race), are, in fact bigotted (towards southerners) because they see them all as rednecks and bigots when, in fact, most of them are not.

Boy are you way off. From the New York Times September 5th:

In 2000, Al Gore beat George Bush, 56-39, among the 4 percent of voters who identified themselves as “upper class.” America’s wealthiest ZIP codes are a roll call of Democratic strongholds: Sagaponack, N.Y.; Aspen, Colo.; Marin County, Calif.; the near North Side of Chicago; Beacon Hill in Boston.

It’s funny I saw this graph today, I have A Mitsubishi Lancer, with an Obama bumper sticker on it, and someone KEYED MY CAR! cut the bumper sticker in half and just went to town on my trunk! makes me sad!
If you don’t agree with me then get your own cute lil car to ruin!!! :’(

THANK YOU. I don’t like the car myself, but then again, I don’t really like any cars. I like motorcycles. I don’t like the death machines that I simply tell where to go. I like the thing that’s an extension of myself. (Also, not a big showy one, most of them are junk.)

By: Athanar

Athanar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:20:30 +0000

Actually, motorcycles are pretty safe if you actually know how to drive and don’t act stupid on ‘em. I’m going to get one myself for two reasons. It will feel much better, like it’s an extension of myself (and therefore easier to drive) and it has better gas mileage.

/the prius has one of those nifty displays that let you know how much gas you are consuming. it averages around 36 mpg not 46/

It depends on how you drive, some people are able to get 50+. Personally, I average about 43-44 in mine; everyone is different.

Also, I know it sounds like a good idea, but driving a scooter, or riding a bike or bus isn’t always practical for everyone. :/ Bikes can’t go on the freeway, scooters can’t seat 3+ people, and buses don’t go exactly where you want them to. What works best for you just depends on your situation.

By: Jordan

Jordan — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:07:53 +0000

Why do people get so emotional about this? It’s A CAR, if you don’t like it, then don’t get one. I hope you really love whatever car you DO have, though.

I happen to love my Prius, and I don’t “feel ashamed” of it, nor should I. I know that might be “hard to believe”, but I like the design, and I have no trouble seeing out of it. But I can respect that some other people might just NOT LIKE IT.

no need to be rude. I have a perfect driving record, not even a parking ticket, thankyouverymuch. I’ve been driving it since October and there are no problems. If you can’t see in the car, maybe the problem lies with you.

True story: BF and I were trying to find a farmer’s market we’d never been to. We got really lost and eventually just decided to follow this Prius because, well, we had no idea where else to go. The Prius led us right to it.

i think everyone here has missed the bigger issue.

this graph is inacurate because only a small number of democrats make enough money to buy a prius.

republicans, now thats where the money is.

(just so i fit in with every other post… i drive an element, and i have no idea who i’m going to vote for.)

no i have driven them, and if you think they are delightful, give me a call when you get on the road, because you obviously are a tunnel vision driver who doesnt pay attention to anything on the road but what is directly infront of you. The kind of driver who should never have a license

46mpg? really? Im a member of a car sharing co-op. the prius has one of those nifty displays that let you know how much gas you are consuming. it averages around 36 mpg not 46. granted its still better than most. However when you include the massive emmisions from the battery it makes less sense than recycling paper(which, if you do your research, you will find actually hurts the environment, costs more money etc). Now my gas powered scooter averages 75 mpg. My bike goes as far as I can pedal. Smart environmentalist do NOT drive a prius. smart economist do not drive a prius. People who want to save money on gas, do not drive a prius. if they have done an ounce of research, They drive a scooter, ride the bus or bike.

Well, I’ve got an Ford F-150 and a Dodge Charger and I definitely don’t have any Obama stickers, so this is pretty accurate

I find this HIGHLY insulting. I own a Prius and will NEVER support Obama (or McCain for that matter). And I’d never put a bumper sticker on my car.

By: Mike T.

Mike T. — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:49:51 +0000

Further, why does driving a large truck automatically devolve someone into a hick or a redneck? I live in South Carolina, drive an F150 (with an Obama sticker), and I’m fairly certain that absolutely no one I know would describe me as either a hick or a redneck.

I actually went to the supermarket, and sitting in the parking lot was an enormous Toyota Tundra, running, with an old woman sitting in it (the A/C was on). It had an Obama sticker.

maybe they support obama because of the war, or the economy, or taxes, or whatver. did you ever consider that there might be more than one issue to support a candidate for?
