If social security or school paid from taxes is socialism then yes, I live in socialist society. At least we don't have as big percentual share of people living under powerty line.
    Better watch the news more often. Your great social experiment is coming apart all over Europe. Riots from losers who think having to work more than 32 hrs a week and 8 months a yr is harassment. And our poor folks are by far the fattest happiest poor folks on the planet Lenny. Poor here is middle class in much of Europe and the rest of the world.

    You #### right personal responsibility is lost. If you don't believe it just spend an afternoon watching some of the judge shows. The perspectives, rationalizations and justifications of why they are never responsible for anything and are entitled to everything that are generally displayed by the youth of America are both astonishing and disgusting.

    If these people are our future leaders I truly fear for the future of our country.

    Well... I like to read in all the Cat threads. It sucks having to wade through that nonsense to see anything that might be worth learning. We all know Europe/European Union etc is a failed socialist state the question I ask does anybody in the garage forum really care?

    The only person who really cares is V8Lenny. He's ALWAYS on here spewing BS as to how much better they are at EVERYTHING. Trucks are better, ECM tuners are far superior ect.

    He just has no idea as to why there are so few people doing custom tunes in the US. The market for such a thing is VERY VERY small. For example there are 52,061 members on this forum and I only see about maybe 20 or so that are actually in the market for custom programming. Now the latest census said that there are 308,745,538 people in the USA. No anyone want to figure the percentage of those people who give a crap about custom tunes for a C15, ISX ect? Gee I can't understand why there isn't an ECM shop on every corner.

    Let me be the first to say, Lenny "we don't care!"

    I'm on Lenny's side on this one. He clearly stated he wasn't trying to be impolite he just didn't understand.

    And from where hes from they have well known tuners and they all do it the same way so why wouldn't he suspect thats how its done here? Im sure you guys wouldn't have guessed that they have tuners there that can program them however they want.

    Im glad Lenny posted what he did, I got useful information out of it.

    Well said, thats exactly whats going on with Socialist Europe - their citizens all got brainwashed into thinking, that they are very important and highly demanded. Thats the whole PROLETARIANISM manipulation skilfully implied by your commie leaders who use you to take over the land and resources

    Truth is, all those socialist laborers are losers because they know nothing, have no skills and are not able to survive without all those social programs that are so expensive, that whole countries started collapsing and will keep doing so for decades to come



    Now, to the point - Americans are no better people, no smarter, mostly less educated and less sophisticated then Europeans. But hear this LennyV8 - vast majority don't need help to make a living and really don't seem to believe in entitlement of any sort. You may praise your guru-tuners who will never share anything with you - but we rather love seeing like our Mr.Haneys, Ynots, Kansas Dads are starting their small businesses from scratch and grow solely on customer service and their learning curves so steep they are simply fearless of competition. Because fearless competition is what runs this country. We love it so much, we want more people in, so we are forced to get better every day, when your tuners as well as political leaders are seeking of monopoly, the basic foundation of Communism, the Evil

    I came here to read of Mr Haney's latest exploits of the Cat engine as well. But some of us take exception to others running down our country and way of life. Maybe you're not proud to be an American. That's your business. I am and will defend it every chance I get. I've been to Europe several times. Nice place to visit. Especially the ex Soviet countries like Poland, Romania, etc. Cheap beer and accommodations. Beautiful countrysides and they love Americans and the American dream. They know how bad it can be. Well not HOW bad it can be if they have never been to Afghanistan. Lenny can talk motors without trashing my country. If he wants an America vs Eurotrash debate it's on.
    Merry Christmas-you too Lenny.

    IMO we can be proud of the our country without trashing another. I dont think we need to defend our ways with insults and put downs. We are better than that.

    Merry Christmas to ALL!
