Sad, but true

actually addressing the issues and not resorting to name-calling and personal attacks and I appreciate his thoughts and opinions on matters, just like I do yours when it's not littered with afore-mentioned crap
I'll try to be better- I know i've gotten meaner here this year, I've mentioned it a few times and even started a thread about it. It only seems to be here at 285Bound though..I tried to figure out why and the only thing I could come up with is that i'm starting to really hate some of the people here...

I'm right there with ya my friend...But you do know that as a republican you're supposed to want everything privatised, right?
You're straying from the herd here lil buddy :thumbsup:
Who ever said I was a rebublican? D's and R's on a ballot mean nothing to me.
Cross country Train rides are over-rated, slow and uncomfortable, may as well drive a car. City-to-city commuter trains are fine where there is enough demand.
Lets see, we are already copying the Euro socialist model, and now we want to copy the Chinese mass transportation model? Oh Goodie!
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
I love taking the train from here to CA - the scenery is beautiful, the ride relaxing and stress-free. The trains I've been on in Europe have also been fun, and very convenient for getting around (and they weren't even the fancy new ones).
I'm really looking forward to the light-rail opening up here in Lakewood next May - it'll make going to Broncos games completely hassle-free! :woo hoo:

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I saw where RTD and Jeffco schools are training the local schoolkids on how to behave with light rail. I like rail but I think it only works in certain situations like the northeast corridor and tourism. I want to ride the Canadian rails from Vancouver to Halifax.

You don't understand do you? Read my post, and click on the link...China doesnt care about mass transit, they care about business and they are becoming the economic superpower....Theyre the ones laughing...at us- Because we don't invest in our own country..
Rails, here and in China are mostly used to transport product....Why do you birdbrains keep talking about moving people here? Thats not what this is about. Its about economic development. Nobodies talking about how nice it will be for Chineses people to take scenic vacations and joy rides on trains..
Yes...It might cost the AynRandroids a few tax-dollars "for the general welfare"...And we can't have that.... They'd rather build a few more bombs to blow up the Chinese, rather than learn anything from them.
