Isn't a Hummer a military vehicle? I can't think of ANY reason someone would need to drive a military vehicle. No reason ant all.

your line of anyone driving a hummer is trying to get the same effect of penis enlarging is pathetic.

Again, ppl that bitch and moan when they see ppl ownin property they dislike is like a bunch of whining little kids.

it is everyone's business because climate change and air pollution affects everyone - especially children and the elderly ...

you are right about one thing - we do live in a world that allows people like you to drive cars like these if you so wish ... it is unfortunate that you put your own right to ownership above everything else ... if everyone adopted that philosophy there wouldn't be much to live for ...

so ... while you see another person's hate - you fail to see your own sense of entitlement ...

am i perfect? ... hardly ... is anyone on here perfect? ... i doubt it ... but, if one accepts that there are problems in this world - then some things are easier changed than others ... the H2 is the ultimate symbol of excess beyond need ... the only defence of it's existence put forth seems to be that one should be allowed to own it because they can ... doesn't seem like that's enuf ...

If it is ruining the environment I live in, then it is my business. It scares me that so many people have absolutly no concern for the world in which they live.

And you speak of "EGO"??? fuck, i own a 2002 cavalier. HUGE EGO THERE!!!!! I pimp that fucker like mad!

I read right thru your anger and hatred for ppl that want to do what they want with THEIR MONEY!

If they are dumb as shit to pay that much for the vehicle and all that gas, fuckem, I laugh. I don't throw a tantrum and question why they own what they own.

Get over yourself.

But it IS our business. It may be your money, but it's our planet, and it's our foreign policy that's being driven by the American need for over-comsumption. Your actions don't take place in a vacuum, they affect everyone.

:rolleyes: I'll try to not use that much gas today when i mow the lawn. ahh, screw it. I'll put a hummer engine on the lawn mower and mow the shit out of the lawn today.
just have to make sure i do it right in the heat of the day!!

i'm sorry, but the whole planet and big oil thing just make me smile
don't tell al gore tho!

i know i know, its the greedy americans that are killing this planet and driving up oil! I just some on here would let china know how horrible they are making things by building at such a huge pace that it is driving demand of oil up enormously. But i know, i know, it's our vehicles that are destroying the planet and raising oil prices. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGg.

I love this place!

hahahahaha

Off the top of my head, I can't think of one good reason to own a Hummer. There may be a couple, but there aren't many. Face it, in almost every case it's a useless vanity vehicle.

agreed.
particularly where i live, there is absolutely NO reason for anyone to won one...except for their own egos. each and EVERY time we see one, i cannot help myself but curse them. haha. o course, i say it to myself, to my husband, i am not a rude or confrontational person...but man, their very existence as passenger vehicles for personal use simply pisses me off! if my husband happens to spot one before i do, he just looks at me, waiting my reaction...b/c i simply cannot let it pass w/o commoent. EVERY time we go to the movie theatre, w/o fail, we see at least one.......grrr. :mad:

you sure you want to do that? ... it might make it actually more environmentally friendly ... getting rid of 2 stroke engines would do wonders to clean the air ...

either way - at least you are upfront about your motivations

wow... sounds like some anger issues there.

My problem is that vehicles like that serve no purpose to 95% of the people who own them, and they help in destroying our environment. Do you think that it's anyone else's business if i just dump used oil on the ground? who cares about anyone else's groundwater, as long as I can afford to do it, what do I care? fuck everyone else.

and my response to you would be dont cry when i torch your fucking ego machine.

i suggest that instead of buying a hummer, you respond to one of those email ads for penis enlarging pills. becos we all know that anyone driving a hummer is simply trying to find the same effect.

my old ranch was in the bradshaw mtns and many neighbors needed hummers to get home. be it from sunday church or work. the vehicle is junk in my eyes but does serve a purpose. i wouldn't consider it an ego machinge. they're noisey and uncomfortable. my car is a 1940 chevy coupe. that's my toy. it's for shows; meets; and other RT 66 festivals.
but so what? the guys hummer didn't cost you a cent. why be violent? what about the semis that bring you food and other necessities? look at the fuel they use and pollution they cause. it sounds like pure jelousy. you can't afford one so you strike out against them. i have a friend who will only drive beemers. now that's an ego machine. every big drug dealer has one. shall we torch beemers; caddys; jags; and all the other ego machines too? what about big houses? especially those with more than 1 tv and 1 dvd player. violence begets violence. i'm 100% solar and feel i am setting an example. i rarely leave the ranch so i don't put much milage on anything but my horse. if you drive 10,000 miles a month and he drives 1,000; you are causing more pollution than him. maybe your vehicle should be torched. i'm not sticking up for hummers; only peoples freedom. let him drive what he wants. it shouldn't concern you.

yes, i know.
however, i think it is utterly ridiculous that they were EVER released as vehicles for personal use. there is just NO need, no reason, for such a vehicle to be used for an individual, driving down residential streets, etc. it is one of the most disgusting/blatant signs of disregard for the planet imho.

yes - but there are many factors at play here ... one is an ignorant populace and manipulated marketplace ... two is the role of the oil lobby ... three is the business model by which the auto industry works ...

Why stop with the hummer?

What about commercial jets, private jets, luxury boats, private boats etc...

Alot of ppl on the train give man WAYYY TOO MUCH credit in destroying the earth! One decade it's global cooling (see the 70's), few decades later, it's warming (see present). Everybody has to make a buck on claiming man is destroying earth.
Don't believe the HYPE!

so what are you doing for the enviornment? are you active in shutting down canada's oil fields? are you solar? do you conserve electricty and only have 1 tv? do you use public transportation? do you drive an alternative fuel vehicle? what is your contribution? changing your light bulbs to flourescent will save plenty; have you done that? big talk from little men does nothing for the enviornment.

So you believe people have the right to ruin the earth? The right to give others cancer? Why?

Everybody take a DEEP breath of man polluted air, ride a bike and hug a tree today.

i think it's funny how people will get up in arms about a vehicle polluting without thinking about the pollution they produce; the energy they consume; and the way they support big oil by driving any vehicle at all.
