Bogus! PHIL KNIGHT'S PLANTATION

[Lanny]

...most people possess many items not knowing where they were made.

I think I strongly implied that.

 

[Lanny]

...that's not true...the bullet train can accelerate from 0-150 in about 1 minute...300 mph in about 2 minutes.

How did Japan get into this? I said China and I said our fastest train.

 

[MarAzul]

...that's not true...the bullet train can accelerate from 0-150 in about 1 minute.

The only one I have ridden was Yokohama to Tokyo. I don't think it ever gets up to speed, Though I hear it can hit speeds in that neighborhood. Most of the time is at the stations, with passenger coming and going. Just like the train from Portland to Eugene I rode a couple weeks ago. I am sure it never got over 65 before it was slowing for the next stop.

 

[yankeesince59]

I think I strongly implied that.

...and I strongly reinforced it.

 

[MarAzul]

...and then they do the same thing to us...brilliant strategy.

Sure it is. We sell them little, they sell much. Both of us going to zero hurts the hell out of them. They will not do that very long.

 

[yankeesince59]

...geez, I just called it "the bullet train"...the one I was referring to is in China.

...but I edited it for you.

[MarAzul]

The point is why fear a damn train? at any speed?

...completely different technology.

I mentioned a 300 mph train, for crying out loud. I also mentioned that it went from Beijing to the coast. I said it traveled at 300 mph. Where did I go wrong? Isn't Beijing in China?

What point were you trying to make?

 

[yankeesince59]

Sure it is. We sell them little, they sell much. Both of us going to zero hurts the hell out of them. They will not do that very long.

...yes and the price of what they sell to us goes up...how does that help you and I?

...Jesus tap dancing Christ, Lanny...my post actually backed up what you said...my point is that China's train system is far superior to ours, which is what what you were talking about...am I wrong?

...go back and read it again...if that doesn't work, read it again.

 

[MarAzul]

...completely different technology.

Of course it is.
But why build it? The one rode was about a third full.
If you had a train that did 300, from Portland to LA with no stops, it would take just over 3 hours. Longer than a plane.
But way longer with the stops currently in route. So what good is the damn thing? Even if you had a track that could do it?
The current train cost more than a plane from Portland to LA. It is only used for the in between places and that negates the speed potential.

Why the "that's not true" part? What did I say that's not true? I think it's you that missed what you declared.

Perhaps you said it inadvertently.

No...^^^...Lanny, you're slipping...please go look again, I was replying to Marz, not you.

I probably should let you guy go on. But may I suggest, Lanny has me on ignore so he thinks you and he are the only ones in the thread. But then maybe not.

...that's one of the main reasons I won't use the "ignore" feature.

...and what good does the "ignore" do when the poster can still see what the ignored person says when they are quoted?

Sure it is. We sell them little, they sell much. Both of us going to zero hurts the hell out of them. They will not do that very long.

So you claim. But I say they will. They have much more power to put the hurt on their own people than we do. When prices at Walmart go up, there is going to be political hell to pay here. A few million Chinese people could starve to death and Xi would still be in power. Not that any loss of trade with the US would cause that. There are other markets to sell to.

This is a stupid self-destructive fight that will hurt both countries. But only in the US can we vote the moron who started the fight out of office.

Yup, and they'll gladly do business with N. Korea...and just about anyone else for that matter.

You will have to wait barf, but we will know the result before you get to vote.

You left out he's an idiotic moron with a fifth or sixth grade level of understanding, which I think attributes far too much intellect to him, aka Mr. Potato Head.

 

[Lanny]

Did you forget what Omarosa said? “If you ever see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear."

 

[Lanny]

Is that you and Mrs. Death? And I say that in the kindest sense.

The difference is that you don't have to see what the person ignored person says unless you click on it which I don't in the case of the one person I've got on ignore. You? No, not you. I like you.

 

[MarAzul]

Wow! Billy Cunningham is sure ripping Kaepernick a new ass on KEX this evening.
On a real rant about Nike!

 

[Lanny]

No...^^^...Lanny, you're slipping...please go look again, I was replying to Marz, not you.

Did I fuck up? Oh well, at least that's a first in my perfect life.

Hey, can I use that? I blame Marzy. Okay, now I'm clean.

Clearly, it doesn't.

Edit: But I'm sure it makes soy bean farmers very happy.
