Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school 'adventures' that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

  1. The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
  2. Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
  3. Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
  4. Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
  5. Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
  6. Helmets made from leather
  7. No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?

Very happy for Charles!

But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

Not to be rude or anything but your responses sound very much like it was generated by AI.

People in this thread talking about how these are humans and we need to have some compassion?
How about you reserve that compassion for the Ukrainians killed by those same bastards?

You walk into a country not yours and start shooting, killing people that live there? I could not care less if you get shot or blown to pieces when you do that. It really is that simple.

Is Moms for Liberty still a thing?

Been calling them 'Moms for Hitler' for months and months now.

reddit, which in itself is pretty left-leaning.

Thanks, I needed a good chuckle this morning and this absolute nonsense hit the right spot!

I know what lobbying is and what forms it can take. In the end it is all about influencing a political system by bypassing the electorate.

Lets take this statement of yours:

"Real lobbying is simply educating policy makers on the change you want to happen. You can't reasonably expect every politician to be educated on every issue."

And this is why you should have a well working and functioning government. Politicians are elected and should have a global idea on what to do for the populace, they elected them after all. The knowledge you refer to should not be completely on these politicians. They might have some, based on their life experiences and education. The continuity and knowledge should come from civil servants. They are the cement of government, the persons who make the wheels go around. Ok, cement and wheels do not go well together but you get the gist of it.

Listen, we are (or soon very likely) going around in circles. I understand that the current system of lobbying is what people know and expect, even rely on, see your example of your SO. Of course you see the benefit of a system which is used for centuries, millennia perhaps even. It is, in my view, a broken and infectious system, meant to overrule the will of the people. Brought to you by powers that want continuous access and influence in a government but in the disguise of "being helpful".

I don't know what to say or how to explain it anymore then I already did.

I strongly disagree. All lobbying is wrong and could be considered bribery. At a minimum it is circumventing democracy. We see a case in front of us and see what happens in broad daylight, what you call bribery. Do you honestly belief this is a rare case or can we say this (lobbying) is not a transparent part of the process and thus an incentive to bribe/coerce politicians?

But I understand that the system is what it is atm and lots of people have been accustomed to it, up to the point of defending it.

Lobbying = Death of Democracy

It really is as simple as that. The moment you allow one group of people/companies to have 24/7 access to politicians and yet the general population only gets to vote every couple of years, you are effectively done with democracy.

Nothing you can do now but please remember this once/if the great reset is done 😁

I know :-)

Sometimes it can be fun to see how far this can go, sort of an experiment and some form of catharsis release. My hope here was to feed the possible responses it has and see if there was a way out for it. Does not seem like it.

You absolutely should, perhaps they will understand your ramblings.

So, how's life as a troll? Driven by money or delusions of grandeur? Or just an a-hole? Perhaps all of the above?

Predictive responses from you:

  1. #Trump Nation
  2. Try that in a small town
  3. Daddy trump
  4. Laugh at all the crying libturd

You are not even a creative troll, just a boring repetitive troll. Sad.
