    Whenever you hear someone question how can some motorists do such stupid things with their children in the car, remind them that darwins are supposed to die BEFORE they are old enough to breed.

    But thanks to big brother, being stupid is now part of the Billof Rights.

    They're also supposed to be culled out before they're issued a CDL and CDL job. Plenty of moronic "truckers" out here, too

    It's all connected. 40 years ago, most cars had drum brakes. If you didnt downshift a car, the brakes would fade. Since drum brakes, car owners do not know how to downshift. So when a car has a Toyota moment, no one knows what to do.

    Now, everyone is fat and has ADD. You have to put cattleprods on everything. They have to do trucks the same way because cattle cannot function without the cattleprods. Manual transmissions are now a distraction. Some of todays drivers are so stupid that they cant figure out why they poop their pants.

    In 3 to 5 years, when the cattleprods are more commonplace in cars, and these nondriving morons are issued CDLs, the death rates on the highways will skyrocket.

    I used to run across PA quite a bit. Whenever there was a huge backup out in the middle of nowhere the joke was "what color truck was it this time?"

    Someone posted a statistic a while back, supposedly from the IIHS, showing that there are significantly fewer accidents involving big trucks now, than in the 70's. I'm calling BS.

    And remove ALL warning labels! Let natural selection work! We are the only species who coddle their weak and stupid, feeding them and housing them so they can breed more stupid people. We give them "participation trophies" and thusly give them false expectations. This must stop before we are doomed, If we aren't doomed already.

    [Truckers sitting around truck stop talking]

    Hey, everyone seems to be ganging up on Kansas City right now. That seems to be the place to cause accidents right now. What ya say, when we get to Kansas City today, lets join'em & run over stuff there just for the heck of it.
    I mean it aint like there arent accidents everywhere else in the US. But according to some, all the truckers are heading there with the sole purpose of tearing up the place.... just 'cause. Buckle up, boys, lets ride!
