Unlucky civics

To me it seems that a whole bunch of unlucky stuff happens to civics. Whenever I'm driving around it's always civics that are wrecked or beat up. I know a lot of people have em but man even mine attracts dings and large trucks driven by chinese people. Most of the time I have noticed that it is the rear sides that get messed up. To civic drivers just suck or something? Mayb our cars are just unlucky.

i think its the drivers. For example, Saturday I was in Greensboro, North Carolina, location of UNC-Greensboro. No joke I saw 4 red 2 door 7thgens in a 2 mile stretch. Civics are cheap economy cars that appeal to the 18-24 crowd, and I guess most of them are bad/risky drivers.

Yo! whassup from Charlotte! GO Panthers!!!! Civics are all beat up b/c honda uses thinner sheet metal and less expensive bumper parts and reinforcements......Just consider it a trade-off ---since honda had to open factories in the U.S.A. , they saved money on parts to pay more for labor b/c of silly unions

awwww come on half-n-half!!! take it easy!!! maybe he had a few experiences with chinese people driving large trucks.....if they happened to be black or mexican or polish, he woulda used the correct description of their nationality! You're only making yourself look bad here, by defending yourself, you're giving us a reason to believe there is something wrong with chinese people---which there isn't--- and the dude only said what he has experienced.


You, on the other hand, sound like you want to blow up a building that a lot of middle-class white Americans work in! O MY GOD! RACIST!


Now didn't that seems silly of me to come to that conclusion? I hope it was, b/c if it's true and I don't know it, someone call the FBI!





By the way, I'm Greek, lots of Greek people do bad things, and lots do good things. I choose to live in America, where there are lots of different nationalities of people; we are all just used to labeling a nationality on everyone b/c no one is originally from here........( no! american indians don't count! white people killed them all a long time ago)




So before another angry nationalistic kid who doesn't know true discrimination and persecution is like, let's focus on THE TOPIC........beat up civics!

its simple proportion.

I don't think that by speaking my mind I look silly. If I were to keep my mouth shut every time I heard a joke about an asian I would be no better than the person saying it. I'm just saying that there are far too many unjustified stereotypes about asians, as for the middle america comment, perhaps that was a bit over the top... and yes i already have an FBI dossier. It's really crazy how much stuff the FBI gets away with without you knowing. I guess it's their job... but if you've done any public speaking that is critical of Americanism they've got a file on you. Check for yourself. And fighting back, as you say, is always needed. Some battles are small and nonviolent, but your thoughts and words can affect change. Ya think importtuner86 might think about making a comment about asian drivers next time he decides to post? I'd hope so.

If _I_ knew EVERYTHING the F.B.I. does, then either I'm the world's best P.I. or the F.B.I. really sucks. The whole concept of the F.B.I. is that they investigate, 99.9% of the time they find it better NOT to tell people. So if the F.B.I. does all this "Stuff" that I don't know about.....well done chaps!!!!


MAN PLEASE, I know our government does some shady stuff, but it allows your sorry *** to be able to be free to work with MILLIONS of labor laws to protect you, let you save your money in a bank, GUARANTEED INSURED, lets you choose where you want to live, when you want to ****, when you want to scratch your tiny *****, and LETS you choose to spend your money on a honda civic. ---NEWSFLASH, bucko--- that sounds like a job well done to me


Next time you want to get online and start a passionate, uneducated, "tunnel-vision"-of a mentality racist argument over what he said or what she meant, please choose one of the following four pleasant options:

1. Don't!!!

2. take it with a grain of salt!

3. Quit trying to be a Chinese Al Sharpton * yeah I said chinese b/c the original post said Chinese----there, you can't stupify my post now)

4. SHUT THE F@$% UP!!!!
