KP's opinion on the world

I posted a similar subject in the PR Tourney forums, and thought I'd share it with the rest of you. You see, I get frustrated about a lot of things and have many opinions on just about everything. Some are politically correct, others aren't. And in order to vent off some steam, I'll post some of them in this thread.

My gripe for the day are scooters (copied this from my Tourney post).



This morning, when I was driving to work, I ended up behind one of the small, two-wheeled things, driving in the middle of the road, not letting people past. The driver, I could see from my position ten cars behind him, was male. This means that underneath that helmet, he would be blonde and use excessive amounts of hair gel. He would also wear a pink shirt and/or a pink Björn Borg boxer. All of his other garments would be designer stuff, paid for by his parents. His wealthy parents.

Driving a scooter is all right if you're a girl. But if you are not, it marks you out as either a metrosexual or a spoiled prat. None of which are liked by the general population. In my case, the scooter driver was definitely the latter. This meant that, however much I wanted to, I couldn't "accidentially" run him down. Because he was a spoiled prat, his parents would be lawyers, and therefore sue me for all my money and my first-born child, and I'd be living on the street with no children for the rest of my life. The result was that I found myself behind a scooter and ten other cars, doing 50 kph in a 70 zone.

What's the point of limiting a scooter to 50 kph? It can't be for safety reasons. On a scooter you're not protected by anything other than your helmet. If you crash into a tree you'll die as surely as if you were doing 80, just a little slower. I can therefore conclude that it's only to annoy everyone else on the road.

It works. I could see faces turning red and fists being formed in front of me. people were getting pissed off. In traffic, that's dangerous. It means that as soon as people hit a straight, they will try to overtake Scooter Boy. And when people are angry, they often ignore dangers like the car coming a tad faster than anticipated the other way. So they crash. And die. If you drive a scooter, then, you are responsible for many people's deaths.

Including your own. Not immediately, though. Two years after you get your scooter, your parents will have paid for your car driver's license. And a car. Because your parents are rich and you are spoiled, you can ask for whatever car you want. So this car will be a Mustang, soft-top, and probably dark red. In summer you'll be hated by everyone (except for the young lasses, obviously) because you so openly state your wealth and prat-ness. In winter, however, at least I'll smile, because a Mustang is American. It can't go around corners. It also has a heavy engine at the front and rear-wheel drive. This means that if you try to go around corners in winter, you will spin and smash into the nearest tree. And die.

I will then stop my perfect-for-Norwegian-winter-conditions 206 next to the mangled wreck that was you and your Mustang, not out of compassion, but to search your wallet for your parents' money. Then I'll call an ambulance. Not because I like you, but because it is illegal not to. And so should driving a scooter at 50 in a 70 zone be.


KP still is the number one hottie, noobs.

Drive close behind them and flash the lights/use the horn.
Most of the time they will drive on the far right and you can pass them.
If they dont, repeat step one.

Done. Does not work in Norway. They have money, therefore they own the road, the rights to drive wherever they want and, apparently, me.

Seriously, it's easy as hell to intimidate most idiot drivers if you're in the mood. I'll admit I'm a bit too aggressive on the road sometimes but that's usually only when I'm running late or really looking forward to getting wherever I'm going. Just keep in mind, when you tailgate, you are risking an accident that would be entirely your fault.

My perfect world is where someone holds your eyes open and pours a glass of angry scorpions on them. I'm sure the world would be a hell of a lot better if those dirty people in those dirty nations were wiped away with their filthy cultures. I mean there is no culture better, no thoughts better, no preferences more preferable, no better people than yours right? Arrogant cunt.

I suppose Voltaire is appropriate for this: I think you're a complete moron for your post and it's idiotic content but I'll defend to the death your right to make yourself look like an fat headed prick with said post.

Thanks luizinhuu for the find


People are hopelessly ignorant of their own ignorance.

I think the whole 50KM/h thing has to do with having an engine that probably doesn't put out more than 5-10 horsepower.

50Kmh limit is for apprentice drivers, you can illegally remove the limit or wait a year.

If you are reading this dont stop, cause if you do, I'll kick you in the balls.
