Just want to touch on something almost as infuriating as our

offense that I saw multiple times throughout the day yesterday, and it would be this commercial.
I find this to be similar to an advertisement promoting heroin to children, just try it once, you'll like it! Yes baby girl, you're learning to drive, but no worries hunni, just hit the assist button and indulge in your fantasy land day dream as you speed down a crowded roadway...The car will take care of you! Whoever came up to this should be ashamed of themselves, this is a horrible message to send to young drivers, who generally speaking are already overly distracted an awful behind the wheel. I'm not big on big government, but something must be done to stem this casual approach to driving multi ton vehicles. Shame on you Nissan, shame on you for this commercial, the Leaf, the Cube, and what you've done to the Pathfinder. Never will I consider your somewhat intriguing Titan with a Cummins.

As someone who works with teenagers

They're significantly less street smart and aware, and more overly confident than we were at their age. I'm terrified that most of them drive at all.

days. Whether it be the kids around campus darting in front of cars while glued to their phones, or swimming from the rowing docks to Y beach with nothing more than a noodle on July 4th weekend while drunken boaters swerve to avoid them, something does seem to be missing. Probably has a lot to do with technology/video games.
Of course, I've seen some people my age and older who I have no idea how they've survived as long as they have. Pure luck. I bet I see at least 3-4 people over the course of a week I could abduct with very little effort.

Weird thing to think about
Jan 2, 2018, 12:23 PM

but you're probably right.
Maybe it's just bc we grew up poor in North Charleston before my parents made it big and it was more important to keep your head on a swivel, with all the thugs and cops around and all.

Just kind of surprising to me it doesn't happen more often

Same with college kids getting hit by cars. I'll drive through campus on the way to Seneca in the mornings sometimes, it'll still be fairly dark and foggy, yet there are chicks out jogging by themselves down the 93 bridge without a care in the world. I guess I was just raised to be a little more paranoid than that, I dunno.

We should teach people not to abduct/rob/murder/rape/drunkenly hit swimmers with boats, not expect people to take precautions to avoid those things.

That's actually a pretty good business model.

I think it's high time that ransom kidnappings become the norm here in the USA. We have the widespread corruption in our law enforcement agencies these days to make it a viable industry. No reason why this shouldn't be as successful here as it is in Hispanic countries, if you ask me.

Re: NorthwestMutual Insurance commercial - gun to my head

If I was out busting my a*ss mowing the yard and my teenage daughter pulls a hissy-fit because I can't take her to see her friend and the answer is building a pool to appease her and the family - I would take a Louisville Slugger to the little beeyatch (not really). But it still infuriates me.....

I had the same reaction when I saw it, I ### sure wouldn't have built the little beyotch a pool. I'd probably throw the lawn mower at her and take away everything she cared about.

And then made a trip to the grocery store.
Lady, I couldn't care less about your cats urinary infection. For the love of all things holy, swipe your card and try to remember your code. Then GTFOOTW!
Mothra bless the cashier. I know she deals with this crap eight hours a day.

She probably actually thinks that if she does have a wreck

she could drive three-quarters of a car unless she has Liberty Mutual insurance. Those are all my most hated commercials. I hope each of those actors dies a horrible death. But especially snarky three-quarters of a car lady and "break into your happy dance" girl.

With some people. I don't think driverless cars will be made popular because people want them, they'll be made popular because people are too stupid to drive anymore.
