Some people like to argue. I will admit that I have no issues with cars and come here for the entertainment. Some people make valid points that I can consider, some people live in lah lah land with batshit insane unrealistic expectations for western society. "We should make roads safer for those who have no car" is a fair and reasonable position. "The entire planet should abolish cars and every rural area ever should have public transportation so we can have a cyclist wet dream" is tone deaf lunacy.

If you don't wana hear people saying "Fuck cars" then just don't come to a place called "FuckCars", no one's forcing you ... weird ...
Hi! I see you wrote "tone deaf lunacy" where you meant to write, "blatant strawman intended to distract myself from my moral responsibilities to other human beings and sentient creatures." Don't feel bad, when you hang around a bit, you start to realize this is a really, really common mistake people make.
See, this is a classic example of that tone deaf nonsense.
