ffs this takes the biscuit.

Why not organise your own f..ing rally rather than spoiling other
people's day out.

Do you really think that the Veteran Car motorists are going to want a
load of lycra fuckwits disturbing their day.

I really do wonder about you sometimes.

If did it on pre 1905 cycles then I'm sure they'd be welcome. Doing it

Well, I'm going on it ...on my bike. I shall use my giant tricycle and
ride in the middle of the road in order to show the atmosphere
polluting car drivers that they do not have the right to pollute our
oxygen. They will have to drive at the speed I set. I will also stop
for a picnic leaving my giant trike parked in the middle of the road
whilst the global warming inducing car drivers will have to wait as I
enjoy my healthy luncheon.

I expected no more from a car driver, pah!!! No doubt your abusive and
defensive attitude is a pathetic attempt to disguise the gnawing guilt
you obviously (and rightly) feel about polluting our environment with
your filthy car, belching out its toxic fumes into the lungs of
innocent babies. Every child you see struggling for breath because
they have asthma is your fault. How many times have children been
crippled or slaughtered by people driving carelessly in cars and most
of them are drunk!!! or on drugs or on their mobile phones? We need to
ban ALL cars now for many reasons, ie less crime. For example how
could anyone commit a bank robbery without a getaway car? Peter
Suttcliff (the Yorkshire Ripper) needed a car so he could get from one
town to another to commit his terrible crimes. Ram raiding, dogging
etc etc . The list of deviant car related crimes is endless.
The car is a curse on humanity and we need to ban ALL cars NOW! If a
person has more than one car they should be imprisoned.

So where *will* the offending material be disposed of?

Or will you wait until you back at home somewhere relatively civilised, fed
and supplied by the labours of those who commute by motor vehicle and those
who undertake deliveries in larger versions of the same?

The "offending material" is organic which means it will feed the Earth
unlike the putrid filth that gets pumped out of millions of car
exhausts every day polluting our breathing oxygen. Cars drivers are
selfish retards who care nothing for all the asthmatic children they
have caused. See all those wheezing people? ( maybe your granny) You
did that!!

Asthma has fuck all to do with cars and everything to do with an
obsession with living in a sterile environment. End result is that our
kids have no immunity to the stuff we do.

Who is Doug? No doubt just a diversion aimed at preventing sensible
discussion re the subject of cars and the destruction they bring to
our planet and all the innocent children on it. It's a fact that cars
and selfish car owners are wilfully destroying our planet. They care
not for the generations to come who will have to live in the
environmental nightmare they are creating.
Here's a possible solution - All cars should be fitted with a device
on the exhaust which feeds 50% of the exhaust emissions back into the
car for the inhabitants to breathe. This would make sure no
unnecessary journeys were made and generally make selfish car drivers
reluctant to use the car...unless they like being poisoned. This
solution might seem a little extreme but this is only what car drivers
have been inflicting on us for decades. I should imagine the Police
would welcome this sanction as they could use it as a deterrent to
stop deviant car crime. For example if someone is caught speeding,
they would have the exhaust emission percentage increased by 5% for
every offence. Using a gas mask would be a mandatory 75%. Drunk
driving offences would face an immediate 100% etc.
I have sent this proposal to the Ministry of Transport and am
receiving favourable feedback.

Is it, indeed...?
Would you care to provide any evidence to support that "fact"?

Assuming you're referring to greenhouse gases, would it interest you to
know that cars _and vans_, combined, globally, emitted less than 6.5% of
the total global greenhouse gases in 2000?

That's a figure from an HM Treasury report, referencing the World
Business Council for Sustainable Development, by the way.

Oh right!! just pretend the evidence doesn't exist just because I

Do you know anyone with breathing problems? Of course you do. All this
diversion and denial will not save you from the obvious truth......
that people have breathing problems because car owners insist on
polluting our oxygen with their noxious and poisonous fumes just so
they can get to the pub a bit quicker and then drive home drunk...or

Surely it's time to ban all cars before they kill us all. All the car
owners who refuse to give up their cars should be sent to fight in

Mmm. Yes, that'll be it.

Your evidence is so strong that you refuse to show it - and anybody
speculating as to your motives is the with the weak argument. Yes, of
course. Sure. Despite the fact that you can't even get the name of the

"Obvious truth", eh?

So "obvious" that it doesn't need any evidence, right?

Uh-huh. And exactly which pollutants are these? C'mon, you must have the

Odd. There was me, thinking that the planet was massively over-populated,
and we were facing serious demographic & social problems because of an
ever-growing population, with ever-lengthening life expectancies...
Still, you know best, eh? After all, it's an "obvious truth". You told us
so. Providing evidence from credible sources is the last resort of those
with a weak argument, right?

> All the car owners who refuse to give up their cars should be sent to

But only if they walk or cycle there, and then only walk and cycle whilst
there, right?

I notice you seem to have ignored the _PROPER, SCIENTIFIC STATISTICAL
EVIDENCE_ which I pointed - you know, the bit where I pointed out to you
that cars _and vans_ together were responsible for less than 6.5% of the
total global greenhouse gas emissions?

Fuck me, but you make Duhg look sane.

Yes, that's right, concentrate on one minor mistake to try and take
away attention from the crux of the debate. A contemptible ruse used
by those that need to duck the real issue.

If you don't know what they are you have no right engaging in this

I have an organic gas mask which I wear 24/7. Even when I sleep so I
suppose the answer to your question is yes.

Yep, that seems to be exactly what you're now doing. Concentrating on us
laughing at your "one minor mistake" - not even knowing who the fuck
you're apparently being taken seriously by - so you can try to duck the
utter lack of substance in your argument.

Oh, absolutely. It's a very nice little earner for a lot of people. At
best, it's a nice distraction from the root cause. There's too many
people huddled on this lump of rock.

Strikes me that the best possible future for the planet is for the human
race to die out completely. Strange how the environmentalists don't seem
to want to help that out, isn't it? Next time you meet a fervent tree-
hugger, ask 'em how many kids they've got. Odds are that it's
considerably more than the average, because they want to live the good
old earth-mother lifestyle.

Already posted it, dearie. But, to save you the embarrasment of not
knowing how to take a look back in the thread, here y'go again...

http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/d/Transport_annex.pdf

Oh, look. The source is HM Treasury, crediting statistics from the World
Business Council for Sustainable Development.

Now, how credible are the sources for this "evidence" of yours...? Oh,
yes, that's right. You won't tell us. It's secret.

You may laugh now but you won't be laughing in 10 years time when you
are existing in an oxygen tent (see Michael Jackson for details) due
to the fact your lungs have collapsed.

Uh-huh. Still waiting for you to tell us which pollutants you think car
use is responsible for to cause these dire effects.

> Environmental pollution and the death of mankind is not funny.

Like I already said. The "death of mankind" is probably about the best
thing that could happen to this lump of rock. The death of a large
proportion of mankind would be about the best thing that could happen to
mankind.

Well done for admitting the fact.

I hadn't realised that Doug's sister posted here.

I think you'll find the biggest emitters of particulate pollution are buses
and lorries. You know, the ones that get your food to the shops?

Yep, friend of mine is going through a bad patch with her asthma at the
moment, and having to drive to work, because cycling home in the evening
when it's cold is making her ill.

What the Devil are you talking about!?

I am the OP. I rarely crosspost to more than one other group, and if
I do I nearly always set follow-ups to the most relevant group or
groups. I claim to speak for no one but myself and I have no ambition
for news group management.

All that I did was organise a London to Brighton bike ride to
celebrate the formation of uk.rec.cycling.moderated and advertise that
ride to uk.rec.cycling.

I did wonder about the cross-posting (followups on this one set to
poster). Apologies anywhere it was off-topic.

For the avoidance of doubt a) I'm not speaking for anyone except me and
b) I'm not standing for election.

The weakness of your argument is that you state without proof of any
kind that you have feedback and then refuse to show it. This leads one
to suspect that such feedback does not in fact exist. You'd never get
away with that in the real world.
