Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn't expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.

Just because I am able to live without one currently. It does not mean that everyone is able. I am not saying fuck all cars, just that we need to get them off our planet pretty soon for the benefit of all people. So currently for me Fuck Cars is just Fuck all Cars that are useless and not needed! Some people need cars and probably don't like it too! For me personally this communtiy is to rant about cars and why they suck for us all. Giving ideas for better world without cars and showing people that love cars that there are good reasons to hate them too.

I understand what you see, seems bad for you but thats currently how the world is. A bit fucked up. But we all try to change it to a better place and I think that is great and why I love communities like this one (:

99% of cars are not needed. Everyone should be able to go on with their life without it. Every car dependent situation could not be. Instead of saying cars are ok because I need one right now" that is fallacious, we should be asking "how can we change things so we don't need it anymore ?". Fuck all cars

The amount of arrogant ignorance you have is hilarious. Have you ever been to the US, outside of a major city? You understand how large and disparate most of the US is right? You could fit 40 UKs in to the US. Should the mountains just be filled with busses going to every small town on tiny ass roads? What if there is no bus or train to where I'm going? Just horse and buggy it to "save the planet" or "stick it to capitalism"? Do you realize how many people LOVE cars? Go try and fix things so you can potentially do SOMETHING, not just sit here arrogantly shouting your narrowminded views. You need to have your opinions challenged in the real world, otherwise your fantastical arguments hold no water. You're not seeing from others perspectives, just naively trying to force your limited understanding of the world on to others.
