Speaking of cars/roads (none / 0)

I swear to God that I'm going to start slapping "GLOBAL WARMER" and/or "I HAVE A SMALL PENIS" stickers on the SUVs that are starting to colonize the center of Amsterdam.

What. Don't. People. Get. About...

...SMALL STREETS AND NO PARKING SPACES?

Ack, sorry to shout, but those people irritate the hell out of me.

Actually, the "small penis" sticker isn't quite the ticket here, because I mostly see yuppie women driving those monsters. It must be some sort of status symbol or something.

You see an awful lot of soccer moms driving monsters in California, too.

Hi there Page (none / 0)

I don't come much in Amsterdam (I just don't dare to), but amen to your rant. In general I find that many people here have real troubles putting their money where their mouth is. The next argument I've heard is that "in the end, there'll be SUVs on bio-diesel, so it's okay".

Argh.

bio-diesel = methadone?

no, methadone is more effective...

bio-diesel = positive affirmation therapy.

Re: Hi there Page (none / 0)

no, afterthought, positive affirmation therapy is probably more effective...
