    Thanks for your sarcastic and idiotic reply. Is that the best you can do? Maybe I should have asked why AN has so many people making abysmal comments.

    Maybe you should have. I seem to get okay service, and when I don’t, I don’t get all bent about it.

    Yes.

     

    One protestor fired a gun.

     

    But my point remains: guns were brought to the insurrection, irregardless of how you try to change the subject.

    Okay, none of the protestors fired a gun inside the Capital building, and none of the protesters was shown to have carried a gun into the capital builtlding. 

     

    Do you disagree?

    To me, that is a lot of money, and to an owner that bought it for a few thousand $, it is a windfall....:intheclub:

    Minus at least $1,000 a year, just to keep it. And 95% do not meet the first standard, and 99.99% do not meet the second. 

     

    Having an old muscle car is great if like old muscle cars (I do), but there are a lot better investments. 

     

    My sister in law had an ‘67 Olds 442. She bought it from her older brother when it was a few years old and had it for 45 years, bone stock, full service record and only serviced at Olds until they went tits-up, had all the documentation and whatnot. 

     

    Somebody boosted it a few years ago.

    Really, it depends on the old car, surely you know that..........🤭

     

    In the UK if you have a car over 25 years old it doesn't need road tax or an MOT test, they can be repaired easily, and parts are usually available.

     

    One can get "club" membership cheap insurance too, my 7lt Pontiac cost less to insure than my run around....Of course, I have been away for many years, and things may have changed...

     

    Try reading up on classic car sales or auctions.....😋

     

     

    It absolutely does, but a popular sixties muscle car in good condition rarely pulls more than $100k in the US. Mint, complete, matching number up th $200K, unless it’s really something special.

    that is why i said most guys as yes there are some guys who never tried to take advantage of  a gal to get laid....BUT my experince is that for evey guy like that there are 99 guys who would and did think of nothing but how can i get laid from about 15 y,o well into their 60's and beyond....take a look and a listen to guys in bars and online constantly talking about gals and how to get into their pants as well as bragging about no condoms etc etc...as for me there were decades when my almost  every waking minute was filled with looking at girls, thinking about them, trying to pick them  up, and yes trying to get laid...the old 3 F rule of find em fxxk em and forget em  is still very much in play but fortunately i am now too old to do much but i do still enjoy the looking part...

    And your point is that  women are too stupid to be responsible for themselves, correct? 

     

    To clear, I’m all for holding men  responsible for their children.

    I see you have no answer for the deleterious effect that pollution has on the poor. Ya think being ill is good for their incomes?

    I do not disagree that air pollution disproportionately hurts the poor.

    And on what actual facts do you lay your claim that renewables will make A/C unaffordable?

    Only history

    Finally, right now there are EVs in China selling for about $5000. The West is terrified that cheap EVs will put paid to their automobile industry.

    That do not meet regulations to operate in Europe or the US.

    Wrong. 

    Teen births in US fall to record low, as overall total drops by 2%: CDC

    The number of births have been declining since the mid-2010s, the report found.

    The overall number of births in the United States dropped in 2023 as teenage births reached a record low, according to new provisional federal data published early Thursday.

    Kill a million babies a year, and then brag that births are down, typical leftist.

     Solo mothers – those who are raising at least one child with no spouse or partner in the home – no longer dominate the ranks of unmarried parents as they once did. In 1968, 88% of unmarried parents fell into this category. By 1997 that share had dropped to 68%, and in 2017 the share of unmarried parents who were solo mothers declined to 53%. These declines in solo mothers have been entirely offset by increases in cohabitating parents: Now 35% of all unmarried parents are living with a partner.2 Meanwhile, the share of unmarried parents who are solo fathers has held steady at 12%.

    You are conflating birth rates with pregnancies. Nice try. 

     

    Pre sex ed would be the ‘50s….

    I can buy a new EV when it’s mandated, the working poor? Not so much.
