    I love how everyone here is more or less on the same side but still kicking each other in the shins what the appropriate level of anger is.

    I mean, it makes it sound like he crashed into the tree. He scrapped his car mirror off into the tree. Dumb but that tree has seen a lot worse, stop with the damn clickbait

            You mean fuck cars, like I said? Doesn’t excuse op for his clickbait bullshit, as there are plenty of real problems with cars to talk about.

            Things like this discredit the argument, as the naysayers can point to posts like this and say “see? They’re just full of shit why listen to them?”

              as there are plenty of real problems with cars to talk about.

              Cars and car infrastructure is ruining various natural areas, the ones that are left, and most semi-natural ones on land. Cars and car roads are the first wounds in intact land ecosystems, they make room for infection that ruins habitats.

              Do you want some reading? I have a bunch of nice peer-reviewed articles on how cars need to fuck off from wild and semi-wild areas.

    Too bad.

    Was he fined 10 times the car was worth and forbidden from driving anything more complicated than a lawnmower for a decade?

      “Let’s just fine the guy about a million dollars and make him unable to get to work for the next ten years because he hit the tree with his side mirror”

      You’re fucking unhinged if you think that’s even remotely a reasonable take. I get this community is about decreasing our reliance on cars but that doesn’t give you a pass to be an insufferable piss baby when you get upset about something.

      That driver isn’t single-handedly responsible for our car dependent society, so stop acting like they are and direct your frustrations somewhere more healthy.

        There’s a reasonable point in here somewhere, but you’ve ruined it somewhat by being unable to engage in reasonable discourse. Dial back the adolescent insults and you might find people give a little more respect to your opinion, and maybe we’ll all learn something.

          The comment I replied to wasn’t “engaging in reasonable discourse” either. You’re right that it was inappropriate to call the commenter a piss baby, but I didn’t have any expectation of a conversation either.
