I won't even start on my beliefs on insurance, and similar services...
lolz, I re-read my last post, promotes promotion is supposed to be promotes pollution, my bad. Anyway:
The combustion engine puts out more polution than I am okay with. (Admitedly, most of what pisses me off is when people do not take care of their machines and let them fall into massive disrepaire, causing even more polution than is normal.)
With the combustion engine(Or any sort of motor, I guess) people are able to traverse great distances in a short amount of time. Yes, this is useful, but since it is possible, people are expected to do so. Everybody wants everything to be done their way and when they want it, and are not willing to actually live life. I admit, cars are sueful if they are used right. But every time somebody wants to go somewhere, no matter the distance, they always go for the car first because it is more convenient and would rather be doing other things. Without cars, people would walk more(Less fat people) and grow their own food to some extent. I have no problem with using some sort of vehicle when it is required, but the number of cars I see every day is absolutely ridiculous.
On a side note, if you have a car, people automatically seem to assume that you will give them rides to places or help them pick up/drop off things (Depending on the type of vehicle) and I don't like that sort of thinking. I like helping people, but not when they simply assume I'll do it without asking.
Back on topic(I got off the time thing there and rambled into laziness, though the two are partially related.) people want to move around too quickly and don't take the time to enjoy their life. It's like when it's time to get up and go somewhere, they comparmentalize that time as wasted, because they could be doing something else. They don't seem to realize that time is part of their life too. I personally walk or ride a bicycle around town, and find that is the best time I have to think about whatever I want, and I can enjoy what is around me, stop and look at whatever.
That's the basics anyway. Please read the whole thing before critisizing. I ramble a lot and sometimes the information gets scattered.
