DUmmies Discuss Gasoline Prices
« on: July 31, 2009, 07:48:08 PM »
DUmmy FrustratedLady is a faceless, anonymous DUmmy that no one cares about, nor should they.

I brought this thread over simply because it's so stupid - a true reflection of the DUmp.

Anyone else amazed that our gas pump prices haven't been rising more?

With Bush, they were a yo-yo, but they have sure quieted down.

Is it because Obama is in office and keeping an eye on them, or some other reason?

DUmmy FrustratedLady actually thinks the Kenyan could have an effect on the price of gasoline.

Well, they think democrats could influence the weather, so I guess it's not that much of a reach for them.

1. They said the other day it will go to $80 by fall on CNBC.

2. I hope not. It's about $2.50 here right now. If it goes to $80 I"ll walk.

DUmmy timeforpeace is shocked at the suggestion of $80 gasoline, believing the quantity shown on the pump is in barrels.

6. Al Gore had the right idea

$5/gal tax. Then, a lot more of us would walk and we would all be healthier for it...the planet too.


Forget Algore. I don't know about you, but to me the word "planet" is becoming nearly as repulsive as v****e.

Honestly, for the past couple of years, nine times out of ten you hear the word, it's coming from a moonbat, and has something to do with shutting down American business.

14. That tax should be in 

Cities that have rapid transit. Not everyone can walk to work or take a train.


That will not be a popular suggestion at the DUmp. DUmmies are concentrated in gigantic urban hellholes that have all kinds of filthy modes of public transportation.

And many dealers live far from the nearest bus line.

Yeah, "planet" is tiresome; I've protested about its use by the primitives before.

"Planet" is a word most appropriately used by astronomers and other scientists.

"World" is the word that should be used to describe man, and the man-made things that exist here; nations, groups, cities, bridges, towers, politics, whatnot.

"Earth" is the word that should be used when describing the natural features, non-man, non-man-made, that exist here.

I dunno about the word "globe;" I have no opinion.

But the use of "planet" by primitives is a deliberate linguistic attempt to diminish God and man.  It's childish, it's stupid.

If I don't drive myself, my only other option would be to call a cab. That would actually burn twice as much gas, as the cab would have to come to my house from a considerable distance, take me to and fro my destination, then drive a considerable distance back to his normal station.

I would hazard to guess that at least half the population of the US is in a similar situation.

We aren't all DUmmies who live in urban and suburban areas, crawling with trains and buses.

A five dollar gas tax would put the final nail in our economy's coffin, and the mere suggestion of it should be proof enough that Al Gore is a major frickin' idiot.

As I recall, the plan Algore floated, disastrously, early in his campaign to follow
The President Who Could Piss Around Corners, was for an additional federal tax of $0.50.
At least that's my recollection.

But when DUmmies talk about taxes, one order of magnitude is gimme range.

This DUmmie hates the earth!  Walking causes friction which leads to anthropomorphic continental drift.  Cars too.  Ants too.  Everything leads to more and more anthropomorphic continental drift except farting cows.  They store their friction in their hooves and then release it into the atmosphere as methane.  Cows are the only ones who truly care enough to save the earth.

The only possible hope is lessening the gravity of the earth so that we don't walk so hard on the continents and thus put less pressure on them and they are then less likely to drift.

Write your congressman or woman today!  Tell them to pass laws creating a more gravity efficient planet by 2012 or we're all doomed!  Even doom will be doomed!

Obama isn't keeping an eye on shit.  Gas and oil prices are down because 0bama is treating the national economy like his own personal Titanic, and everybody knows how that movie ended.

In the old Dick Tracy comics, they developed these little one-man stand-up cars that operated through anti-gravity. Looked a lot like segways, but flying off the ground. In each strip, if these anti-gravity gizmos were included, one frame of the strip would have a little note in its corner that said "Whoever controls gravity will control the world." That was probably in the Fifties, but you just reminded me of it.

Just about everyone Obama appointed to the energy posts seem to have always favored very high gas prices, if I remember correctly at least one of them mentioned he'd support $8 a gallon.

Funny, when Obumble took office, gas was $1.60 a gallon.  I went up to $2.80 and has now "settled" at $2.50.  Where's the shrieking over the "gouging" going on?

Of course if you did that, the libtards would not be able to enact a fat tax because everyone would weigh less,  instant weight loss

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I seem to remember gas being under $1 in the late 80s and early 90s.  Then during the 90s, gas rose and rose.  Gosh, who was president for most of the 90s?  DUmp monkeys don't talk about that.

Just how do you think all that "organic" food gets from the farm to your "green" grocerier?  It is moved by TRUCK! 
TRUCKS move on OIL!
TAX the OIL, and it will cost more to deliver goods to market.
Do you think that everything except your "organic" foods will be moved by $5/gal. taxed fuel?

Here's a revelation, DUmbasses!  Corporations, companies, businesses, all of them, DO NOT PAY TAXES!

YOU PAY THE TAXES!  Businesses just collect it for the government.

BTW, GORE is an F'n MORON who couldn't pour water out of a boot if the directions were written on the heel....
