redrum Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Detroit is so dead we don't even have a rush hour anymore. Must be nice. A couple years back they resurfaced our road and for 6 weeks there was no traffic (just local) and it was pure bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Well if these who are stuck in this massive jam have had only ONE KID, they can have a clear conscience. But they should blame their PARENTS for breeding like jackrabbits and populating that cramped/overcrowded country. And anyone else who has more than the 'replacement' amount of children should NEVER bitch and moan about a traffic jam, lines at the grocery, difficulty getting concert tickets, shortages of commodities or items they like, or any other the other problems that come with an overpopulating society/world. If the Chinese truly DO only have ONE child for each couple, then maybe in 50 or 100 years they can start enjoying some SPACE, PEACE and QUIET. But it's gonna take a long time for that population curve to start bending in a more lateral way. Where I am it's complete heresy to even THINK about slowing population down. Rats in a box will eat each other at some point, and I don't care if they're atheist, Christian, Buddist's, Muslim or Mormon. What a rat infested "freeway"...hahahahahahaha....that is ! Right !

Starbreaker Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 60 miles? That's just ridiculous! If I dont' have anywhere that I need to be, I don't mind getting stuck in traffic jams because that means I get to listen to more music while i drive but I try to avoid them anyways.

As Satchel Paige once said, "don't look over your shoulder, someone may be gaining on you." they're already #2 and in another 10 years, unless this country's leaders(all of them, not just Obama and the Democrats) get off of their collective asses, they will be on top. Pretty impressive for a country that has been reclusive for a couple thousand years to get to where they are so fast. I just hope our grandchildren aren't speaking Mandarin instead of the English language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 U.S. traffic jams are nothing on I-95 and in NYC compared to this. Walking would be better and quicker. Just one giant parking lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is some sort of protest by our Chinese brothers and sisters though, then I gotta say, Feck the government... I'm with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
