Watch Me Drive My Hummer and Laugh at You

 

"I want to make a comment from the person who said a Hummer is a big polluting machine. I personally own a Hummer, and for their information, a Hummer has a 30-gallon tank and uses the same amount of gas as any other SUV or large vehicle on the road. I only drive this about 15,000 miles a year, so therefore I'm not polluting the earth any more than someone who drives a four-door economic car that racks 25,000 to 30,000 miles a year. So before you go bashing a Hummer you need to get your facts straight. I pay my car payment, I can afford the gas, I don't live on welfare or assisted living, so what's the problem? I think the problem personally is that the average American can't afford a Hummer, so the problem here is just pure jealousy." - Rohrersville

Man, Mail call is at its best today. I'm jealous because you can afford a hummer? Wrong again, I'm actually ticked off because you drive one and assume that you are less at fault for pollution because you only drive it half as much as people that drive smaller cars. Actually, you still a polluting the air twice as much as me regardless of how you try and argue your way into feeling better about yourself. The fact that you can buy a big, fuel guzzling, useless car does not impress me or most people on the road and I would probably appreciate if you stayed away from me with your said Hummer. I love people who use incredibly flawed logic publicly in order to make statements that can't hold up under scrutiny.
