Quote:
The Obama administration in December 2016 proposed requiring the technology and giving automakers at least four years to comply. The proposal requires automakers to ensure all vehicles “speak the same language through a standard technology.”


...in order to make it easier for the C.I.A., N.S.A., and other intelligence-gathering arms of government to spy on you. No thanks, but I value my privacy, and if these vehicles are ever introduced to Australia I will not - ever - buy one. They say it's all about safety. Sure it is. Well, even if true, I would rather run the risk of having an accident (and, by the way, in spite of being a motorist for almost 30 years now I have never had one, because I'm a safe, sensible driver) than have Big Brother constantly following me. When, oh when, will people wake up and stop falling for the LIE that we need the government (or large corporations) to "protect us"? Protect us from what? Ourselves? Who will protect us from THEM?!

No, why is it "silly"? My concerns are not silly at all, they are perfectly legitimate. I don't want to be tracked, by anyone. What I do and where I go is no one else's business! I value my personal space and privacy, and people who think that "talking cars" are a great idea can all go and get stuffed.

The constant immaturity of the two canadian perpetual 12 year olds has pretty much driven everyone away from this sub-forum.

Both of you need to lighten up. I found the phrase "talking car" to be funny and so I posted a Roger Rabbit clip.

I choose to enjoy life. Thus, I never pass up an opportunity to do something funny.

Yeah. This site has a lot of right-wingers last year.

They left because right-wingers generally consider objective facts to be a form of trolling.

What can I say? Right-wingers can't handle me. Most leftists have two weaknesses: party loyalty and politically correct hypersensitivity. Right-wingers cling to their waning relevance by exploiting these two weaknesses.

Me? I don't need to rely on language policing or party loyalty to get my point across because I am so aloof, enlightened and transcendent. I can always retreat into my imagination when I feel offended ... and so I never feel offended for more than a few seconds. Siddhārtha Gautama would be proud of a bloke like me. 8)

Anyone who thinks that I am a troll is just as hypersensitive as the "feminist gamers". LOL :lol:

Right-wingers aren't the only ones who stopped posting here. It seems pretty obvious from what you're saying you were on a mission to pester members away. And anyone who reads this thread can see what a juvenile troll you are.
