  1. I, for one, am sad to see that the poor deeds and poor actions of few have spoiled something good for the many. In a recent conversation with scandalo, I learned it was going to be mandatory that pictures with date time and info be displayed with the item for sale. I thought to myself... "what the hell does this fix?"

    It's too bad that every other volvo site can have a for sale section and we cannot. It's not chuck's fault... it's the stupid f*cks who've made bad deals or no deals at all that have ruined it for us. Don't blame the admin... blame the users.

    VolvoSpeed has been ruined by VolvoThieves.

  2. To the comment that Safari is slow... this is true... and coming from someone who's used Macs since their inception... that's not a great thing to admit.

    However... most recent version of Safari 5 is pretty awesome at the same time. It seems to be more and more site compatible... and loads HTML5 really well.

    It's pretty safe to probably say Safari is slower than the IE on the PC............ and Safari is better than IE on the mac because there is no IE for mac. :lol: That's my kind of competition!

    (FireFox FTW, though... seriously)

  3. I'm a little concerned with the general conception that anything from China is made with quantity in mind, over quality. Not to say they couldn't produce a high quality product, but it's seems to me it's just a different mentality and/or approach there.

    My guess? Volvo cars will become more affordable, while loosing some quality and safety ratings.

    Ironically enough, I remember someone remarking that the new S60 looks like it had it's butt influenced by a Japanese car... the civic. I agree, and will try to keep my turd on the road for as long as I can.

  4. You have to admit... RP is at least entertaining, if nothing else.

    He's probably too smart to be the leader of the country, if you ask me. Borderline crazy... sure... no doubt about that.

    He would abolish the federal reserve and cut the government... and for that, he'll always get my vote. That way, we can afford the..... SPACE SHIPZ YO!!! :lol:

  5. The problem with any religious view is that it seems to give people the notion they know what is or is not better for someone else. Clearly, in some aspects, this is true today, as we aren't fond of cutting off heads and hands in the west as much as it seems to be portrayed to be useful in the east (generally speaking.) However, it does happen here, but on a more ideological level (cause the crusades were so 1100 AD)

    Unfortunately, I've met more christians in my time who feel the need to impose belief systems upon others. What I've learned is all religions are equally guilty of this practice, in my opinion. Granted, not everyone in the religion acts this way, and I have great friends who are extremely religious.

    What man seemingly lacks now adays is a sense of community. For a long time the last sense of community, and especially in this country, was faith based religious groups. It's my opinion our government wishes to dissolve our individuality, along with what we know to be what's left of our communities, in favor of one large group.

    (No disrespect meant towards anyone here.)

    Sorry for my rants... just my .02
