When put the convertible top up on my 95' lebaron, you'd think the windows would roll up. Looks like someone wasn't sharing ideas!

@PompousPreacher it has a terrible reputation all by itself. From Wikipedia:

"In September 2008, The Daily Telegraph commented that YouTube was "notorious" for "some of the most confrontational and ill-formed comment exchanges on the internet"

And Time magazine: " Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred."

@NedBurchfiel As opposed to the ConservaTube comment section?

I learned that youtube's comment section has a terrible reputation. All I needed to do was look at the last two comments on this page, and now I understand.

@alienmode U MAD BRO? haha that's so good, GET ANGRY! :) I imagine you refuse medical help when you're sick (quite a high level of medical techniques we use today were, unfortunately discovered in the death camps.) Or maybe you just grudgingly take it and gnash your teeth in disgust? It's a sick, dark time of human history, but it has long term, inescapable repercussions that we all live with. Get over it.

@RSimusic yea that is really naive, not patronizing businesses that support genocide. you STUPID STUPID FAGGOT. and no i don't drink fanta; sugar is cancer and i'm not a big fat piece of shit like you probably are. i don't drive a ford, i don't use chase bank, i don't use ibm computers and i don't drive a bmw or volkswagen. i wouldn't rule any of those companies out, i'm simply saying their funding for murder turns me off a little bit. jesus christ you are a fuck hole of a person.

[RSimusic]

@alienmode Do you drink Fanta? Fanta was devised by Nazi germany to subsidise the lack of coca-cola coming into the country. By your definition, you should stop going anywhere near that... or Ford motor cars of the nationalising of the industry in that country by Hitler. So fucking naive.
