Is there such a thing as accurate stereotyping?

What-the-hump?! Yuck! How gay is that? I was gonna post a reply about BMW/Audi, but now I'm just totally disgusted to learn that there are stinking queers on this site. I think I'm gonna log out now and hope all the "Ben Dovers" out there go away!

Hey slats, were you serious?

I don't speak for everyone, but IMHO if you were even half-serious, as it seems you were, you're doing us a favor by vamoosing yourself.

Umm yeah... and every other site also. I take that back, I'm sure the KKK site is still relatively pure. You do know it's 2003, the 21st century, right? Here's a little tip for you homophobes, gay guy friends are a great way to pick up chicks - it's the whole non-threatening thing.

Grow up...

Wow, such a strong reaction to someone being gay. Slat must be a closet homosexual.

what do you guys like better? Bmw or audi?
Bmw. And no, it is not related to image.

The 3-series is generally more acclaimed than the A4 by car critics. So was the E39 5-series.

P.S. Regarding 'Slats' and other imbeciles of his nature, can't the moderator do his job about all this hatred and just kick them out?

Saintor, I gotta disagree. What FDL said was maybe slightly on the edge, but that's about it. Rick was setting himself up for a little good-natured trash-talking, and that's what it sounded like.

More likely just young and ignorant... a middle-school troll judging from most of his posts.

Slats is no ***!!! Why am I'm talking in 3rd person? Nevermind. phile, are you trying to say that you are attracted to me!? No thanks! To many ricecakes and queers on this site... And BTW, I will never resort to making gay friends to pick up chicks. I would never be interested in any woman who likes gay guys either. Just wanted to clear that up. Also, Santa Rosa, I'm in college -- just so you know.

:shakehd:

Another thread hijacked by someone who can't speak at a more mature fashion than the 1st grade.

Slats, I know your new here and your probably just trying to make an impressions on everyone... or something. You say your college-educated to some point, you don't seem to type like an idiot, and most of your sentences make sense. But beyond that, you just come off as a ignorant, self-absorbed egomaniac (I know, it's funny hearing this from someone that speaks in third person ). But if you were educated and refined as you seem to say you are, than you would have made your point in a way that would not have made most people in this forum despise you. If you don't like gay/lesbian people, that's fine and dandy, it's a free country, you deserve your opinion. But please don't start calling people names, taking person shots at others, and just making yourself a target for everyone (if you like that stuff, try the other TSX forum, that's what it's there for).

I'm not trying to be preachy, or Moses again. I'm just hoping this forum doesn't turn out to be like all the other forums.

Junkster, who wishes everyone happy holidays.... snoogens.

Hey Saintor, a) it was a joke and b) it was making fun of his position at Honda, not his sexuality. If I said "janitor" would it have been better? Maybe, but it wouldnt have made as much sense IMO.

Anyways... lets leave the gay talk out of this thread or will have to be closed.

Actually, if you call any male or female a secretary you're looking for trouble. The contemporary term is "administrative assistant". Same thing as calling a flight attendant a "stewardess".

I'll start off with ++IBTL..


People that get all bent out of shape over their job title (or its lack of PC) have far too much time on their hands. Janitors don't need to be called `Environmental Waste Engineers` or any such silliness just as `administrative assistant` is a bs title for secretary. (We have both titles in numerous depts at my company and when it comes down to the work, it really doesn't matter.)

I didnt take the secretary joke as a slam on sexuality...there are male secretaries too....Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense....I thought is was just fun and games! People are so uptight on this board.

Anyway, someone asked about iDrive....the other half loves it, I hate it. The going joke is the computers in teh 745i hate me as much as I hate them, BUT it is amazing that a car that big can feel as nimble as a 3 series

I saw a new 5-Series for the first time today. It looks exactly like it does in the picture. The lines are still odd. The amber "brow" on top of the headlight is LED, I think. Headlights looked very feminine, like it was wearing eye liner, not sure if it works.

Yeah, the looks take a little to get used to, but the Dynamic Steering is INCREDIBLE. The turn signals are LED, but there are only a couple of them them light up a fiber optic like plastic bit the wraps around the front.

On the other hand, it seems that iDrive is a little more intuitive than in the 745i. Only problem is, BMW released the car without Nav being avail until early Spring....how lame!

Yeah, I agree, but the designs are growing in me. One thing you can't deny are BMW's chassis dynamics....they can out do anyone. That being said, if you boil it down BMW is a great engineering company...and Honda has the same mentality...all engineering driven. Honda, thusly Acura, have an engineering mindset that is untouchable by their peers. I could go in to details, but y'all know what sets Honda apart from everyone else.

Rick
You're getting screwed on this deal.

Since you later admitted you knew fdl was kidding, does that mean you will no longer punish us? Do we still have to wait "like the rest of the world?"

I offer no apologies to the **** in this forum if that's what you mean. Besides, you are the one keeping this whole "gay" thing going. I will be glad to drop the whole issue and get back to talking about cars if you will. Agree?

Nope, FDL still screwed it up for everyone BECAUSE HE IS CANADIAN, EH!!! Also, I can drive the 745i whenever, I just feel more at one with the A4. Hopefully I will feel the same about the Acura

Its all about context. I'm sure the mods would react the same to someone using `j00, chink, etc.. etc..` in an inflamatory way.
