More ridiculous nonsense, as found in EVERY SandChimp post.

Most likely everyone has plonked you because you're a babbling fool.

Go back to your pipe bombs and 'Divorced Men' support group and leave

No need for the racism -- he can't help the accidents of his
birth.

I think part of his problem is he is wanting "help" from cola.

cola is an advocacy group. If he needs help with Linux, there are
better newsgroups in which to get assistance.

He's also alienated pretty much anyone that can help him, but that's
the least of his worries.

He can't help being born in a repressive, terroristic, 3rd world

I rarely read his drooling. What I have seen is a steady spew of
anti-White hatred and obsessive talk about his dick and 'Penis X' and
assorted mental illness and lies.

Just about any Linux question can be answered with Google.

Most likely he's itching to do an honor killing because his sister

We once had an Iranian immigrant working for us. She was awesome.

I wrote a letter for her to help her mother immigrate
here to the U.S. They were sick of the oppression in Iran.

Had dinner with her and her husband (an American) once. We
talked about religion at one point -- she's not very religious,
nor is her mother. Good people.

There are a lot of American muslims that are patriotic, and
good people. RWNG's, meanwhile, tend to be members of
the so-called "American Taliban" -- Dominionists. (You may
have seen how they roll on January 6th.)

PPfreak is, indeed, a freak. America is a melting pot, and
it escapes me why anyone who has enjoyed the relative freedom
in any of the Democracies would support oppressive regimes
like Iran.

In Texas my doctor was Iranian. A nice guy and a good doctor.

It should be noted that a lot of the Iranians we see in the West were
once chased out of their country because of their religion. I had an
Iranian student once who told me that she and her mom had to leave
because they were Christian. A true sweetheart. I've also had some who
left Iran because they wanted to. They were Muslims and spent every
minute of the day causing issues for everyone in the classroom.

Instead you have a large, high, cramped automobile.

It’s just dumb. They have an inherently higher centre of gravity, which
compromises their handling. Then they try to lower the roof to compensate,
and that just reduces the interior room.

Ah, I just realized ... you’re in the USA, aren’t you? Cars in the USA
aren’t expected to go around corners.

I've always like smaller cars. More nimble, quick to accelerate even with a
4-cylinder engine, better gas mileage, cheaper to maintain.

I think DFS prefers phallus substitutes.

I have a medium SUV (old Ford Explorer). Fold down the rear seats and I
have tons of space to carry things. Move the front seats up a bit and I
can lay flat inside (handy for car dating).

Handles fine - plenty fast enough to get speeding tickets if I'm not
careful.

Depends on the vehicle. Some are lower profile than others. I'm 6'1"
and the top of my Explorer roof is even with my eyeballs. Lots of
headroom inside.

Put some fresh shocks and suspension bushings in there (sway bar
bushings and end links) and it handles well.

Then there's the safety of SUVs.

zero driver deaths as of 2011:

Audi A4 4WD
Honda Odyssey
Kia Sorento 2WD
Lexus RX 350 4WD
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 4WD
Subaru Legacy 4WD
Toyota Highlander hybrid 4WD
Toyota Sequioa 4WD
Volvo XC90 4WD

One auto, one minivan, and 7 SUVs.

The ONLY auto I'd consider buying - and even then only as a 2nd vehicle
- is a big ole Porsche Panamera.
