It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

OK, I'll go all-in on this:

2000 AD Comics' Nexus, The computer game.

Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.

Both are needed, corporations must be held account able and individuals need to make changes to how they live ... I don't believe either will actually happen, but that doesn't mean that the morality of choices over resource use suddenly get inverted just because of a bad case of nihilism.

What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least ... four times bigger.

That's what we call an attention getter!

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

Which then becomes Buy and Large, for branding purposes.

I never said you should emulate my life, what I said is that taking up less space would be good for the planet ... you get limited time on this rock, it's going to be a lot more limited for your kids if the food chain collapses.

Heh, when I lived in the UK I travelled 200 miles a few times to go on advanced courses.

It's paid off many times for me, as an example last tuesday I came around a blind bend with a bit of speed to find a big fat boar looking confused in the middle of the road. On the advanced machine handling course I did a few years back we covered emergency swerves at high speed (up to 70mph), and I just went around the back of the boar ... without that training I'd have probably hit square on.

Depends on how well the first season goes, the producers are a little cautious in case the bears aren't really as viscous as they said on their CVs.

It's a reality TV series where D-list personalities are dropped in the middle of the forrest and have to hike out without being eaten by bears.

Sorry, I didn't check the context before responding. The MSF course is even lighter on road handling skills than the European test, no?
