So When You Buy That Electric Car, Should You Turn In Your "Man Card" Right There?

Well yes... if the electric car you purchased is like the leaf... no... if it's an electric car that is fun/looks nice? I'd think it's sooner to turn in your man card if you bought a prius, then if you bought a fisker karma or tesla model s.

Yes! The topic itself is humourous and was NOT created as a jab against gay people. The fact that gay people exist is completely irrelevant to subject matter at hand. Your have twisted the point of this article into something that offends you. I shall not change my opinion so you can feel like you've made the world a better place. haha, I'm not that generous to people like yourself! ;)

why do you keep saying spin? the only people I've seen say it that many times before have all been banned! How many times have you registered/been banned on this site before?

weird, I swear you've been here and been banned several times before! anyway, I hope you learn quickly that targeting certain people and harassing them is frowned upon. I don't really care that you think I spin things, mostly because I think you are doing it ten times worse then me. But hey! enjoy your stay, I'm wondering how long you'll last.

I find it ironic that you are calling me a bigot. When your sole purpose of registering to this site was to show your own intolerance of other people. :P I like you, you're so hypocritical it's funny!

are you even reading comments any more? or have you degraded to the intelligence of a really dumb chat bot that reads through a script?

*sigh* here, why don't you have a long profound talk with this bot? I'm sure it'll run intellectual circles around you, and hopefully you have the capacity to learn something and increase your ability to converse.

lol, same to you buddy

lol, you do realize we are both looking foolish for doing this right?

lol, my man card hasn't quite been revoked yet, I'm still holding onto it haha! I drive a 2 door Pontiac Grand Prix. How about your man card? has it been revoked? Gay people can be manly too you know... look at all the gay weight lifters! they certainly don't appear feminine in the least!

lol, that's not the only thing. "man-hood" as I define it is the opposite of what you would assume for being feminine. Are the vast majority of hulking behemoths in gyms men or women? They are men, although there are numerous hulking women... they aren't very feminine. I would also say that a keen interest/knowledge in automobiles is "manly" because it isn't a very feminine thing, sure there are lots of females who love cars, but the ones that actually know anything about cars are often times considered tom boyish, aka not feminine in that regard. I've formed my conclusions around what society in general accepts. Regardless, I find it humorous that you've taken what I have extrapolated on it into obscurity. Did you actually think I would agree with you? That I think muscles are totally the only sign for manhood? lol NO! but they are an indicator. hahaha, you should re register under a name called hypocrite!

*what I have said, and extrapolated it into obscurity"

Yes, I have stereotypes. Do you not have stereotypes? Is it illegal to have stereotype images in your head? Is it unethical to call a boyish girl a tom boy? Is it unethical to call a guy who sits in front of the computer all day playing games a nerd? You are deceiving yourself if you think life is better without stereotypes, or that you yourself don't hold them. Stereotyping is not a bad thing, it helps us easily generalize people and predict how they shall react without having to truly get to know them. Sure there will always be exceptions, but no one has ever said that stereotyping is an exact social mechanism in the first place.

I digress, the floor is all yours, I've hogged the spot light for far too long. There are still many questions I have asked that you have yet to even acknowledge let alone respond to. Please, go ahead and show you are more then the judgmental and self righteous persona you have so far shown yourself to be.

I am saying that they live with the fact that society will always view them as tom boyish, and in that regard, not feminine, if you wish to put it the way you have, then yes they are giving up their "woman" card. I've answered enough of your questions. Please answer mine.

sportsbike80, when a woman does things that are masculine, society (me included) view them as doing being less feminine in that regard. Why a guy does things that are feminine, society (me included) views them as being less masculine.

Again, answer my questions. I've currently answered every single one of your questions, and you have yet to answer one of mine. In case you forgot, here they all are again in short point form.

-How many times have you registered/been banned on this site before?
-you do realize we are both looking foolish for doing this right?
-How about your man card? has it been revoked?
-Do you not have stereotypes?
-Is it illegal to have stereotype images in your head?
-Is it unethical to call a boyish girl a tom boy?
-Is it unethical to call a guy who sits in front of the computer all day playing games a nerd?

also...
-So my stating that gays are more open and environmentally conscious is ignorant?
-And your inferring that gays have no performance, are whisper quiet, and have no macho factor is somehow enlightened?

I know why you're refusing to answer any of these questions. It's because you know your answer will make you look bad. I'm not afraid of my opinions, which is why I keep posting them. I re-invite you to answer all of these questions to prove me wrong.

you're dumb, never once have I said that giving up your man card is being gay. This is something that you have concocted and have assumed for your entire argument. If anything the whole guys who work out point was to show that even gay people can still do masculine things, you must be horribly stereotypical if you think that gay guys only do girl things and lesbians only do guy things lol. So why on earth would a girl that is interested in cars be a lesbian? Just because a guy does feminine things doesn't mean he is gay, and vice versa with women. Yes, I've read the article, and you still won't answer my questions.

*So why on earth would a girl that is interested in cars be a lesbian only because she likes cars?*

I am not saying that, you are saying that is my opinion, re read my last long post and answer all my questions please.

Yes, have you ever heard of the term tom boy?

Spin what? The term tom boy comes from any female who partakes regularly in masculine activities. It is not a derogatory term, it's simply a term to describe a certain stereotype.

Answer my questions please... for the umpteenth time.

You should learn french, you'll be very offended by the application of feminine/masculine to everything.

also, answer my questions.

And no, I'm saying you can be masculine and gay at the same time. Not that you have to have muscles to be gay. I have no idea where you got that from... other than maybe your washing machine which spun the crap out of what I said.

*muscles to be gay and drive a sports car*

what? You are again sticking words into my mouth. From now I'm calling you DJ spinmaster, as it appears it is all you know how to do. What's funny is that you are being so hypocritical in trying to call me out on it.

everyone stereotypes! You stereotype, I stereotype, everyone does! lol is this not clear? Perhaps you should answer my questions.

Why won't you respond? I'd love to hear your ideas on how masculine and feminine qualities don't exist, and how the french don't assign gender roles to almost everything in their language.

Like non-electric cars, some tend to have a more feminine qualities, and some don't. The Leaf is less manly I would say than to a Volt. Similar to the more manly CRZ hybrid vs. a Prius.

I think if you are relying on your car to get you laid ... you are already neck deep in doo doo ...
Suggest a course in basic hygiene + some exercise + some social skills ... as way to start back into the land of the living ...

i agree lol thats like saying all diesels are gay its just whats powering the car thats like saying an electric SLS is gay right....if your manhood is that sensitive you probably are...

Brilliant. Agree completely. And, frankly, these days, any man relying on his personal transportation to get laid should have every one of his "man privileges" revoked.

Izfuney +1

So True.

While all true that your car shouldnt determine badge. You wont look too good if you run out of power in the E vehicle and have to wait an hour for some decent distance compared to an i.c.e. pop in to the nearest filling station.

Ohh and the movie trailer "dilemma".... is self describing i.e. "gay" ... 2 fat dudes who are in love with each other ... with hot wifes is a fantasy .. for "fat dudes". on way ticket to 'lameville"
.

One way ticket ...
(My bad)

The electric car is gay...if not gay at least very lame. Even the Prius and the CRz. The movie looks really funny though. Wish the women were cuter but I think I will see it anyway.

You are less of a man for buying an Hummer H2

Unless a businessman can drive it to show off to his customers, then yes. Tesla? no. Vince Vaughn movie? Can't wait! :D

As long as you know your going to be one of the if not the slowest car on the road.

Wow, 009. You've stooped to a new low. Schoolyard hurling insults of "gay" around. That's gay. You're gay. From 13 year olds and Autospies. Disgusting.

I always knew EVs were happy :)
Sounds like 009 is jealous of Vince.

I see the gay electric car driving guys are going through deboosting.
T

Could not agree with you more. 009 and Autospies have sunk to a new low.

sportsbike80

You and others like are the worst kind of creatures to ever walk this planet. You strut around, pretending to protect the rights of one "Opressed Minority or Another" while in reality you just love the sound of your own voice.

If you took the time to watch the Video you will clearly see and hear when Mr Vaughn said " Not Homosexuall Gay, but My Parents are chaperoning the school dance, Gay"

Now tell me which part of that comment is Homophobic, let alone all of the other cretinous drivel you listed in your previous rant.

What i find funny is that you have your head so far up your own bottom that you fail so see that by threathning to report this site and get the originator banned is tanamount to SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH.

But thats acceptable as long as IDIOTS like yourself FEEL OKAY.

There is not one comment on this article degrading Homosexual People, you choose the wrong site and wrong article to launch your self promoting drivel.

FUCK OFF

+100

-100 seriously? lighten up, why don't you report the people who are making that movie as well? People like you who take offense to everything are far more annoying then stereotyping in the first place.

Of course we are going to think each other is more annoying. We hold opposing view points! Your offense to this supposed "outrage" is on par in my mind with religious people feeling morally superior, or feminists who believe that females are superior. I'm totally cool with gay people, and religious people, and women, I do however have a beef when people take offense to things that weren't meant to be offensive. It's almost as if people like you (religious/feminist/etc) actively search the internet for "inflammatory" headlines. I noticed you just registered here, so I'm pretty sure you fall exactly into this category.

Give me a break...

This sportsbike80 guy is really pissing me off.

If you dont like the articles that are posted on this site i have an idea for you, DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE.

It is actually quite easy to not type in www.autospies.com

By the way i am Black, British and have lived in over 3 different countries in the 31 years i have been alive so i think i know quite a bit about the subject of opression and or Freedom of speech.

So if we don't like something, we are supposed to walk away from it and allow the ignorance to go unchecked. That's not the America I know.

And really, what a ridiculous argument, saying that if we oppose bigotry, then we are bigots. Nobody really buys that b.s. argument anymore. Being sensitive and aware of others' ignorance is a civilized response. I can be intolerant of someone else's intolerance. If not, then any amount of ignorant, hateful speech should be allowed. Where's the limit. Oh yeah, mocking gays is still acceptable.

Equating something that does not match up to your maculine ideal to being "gay" is patently offensive. And immature. Much as any other stereotype is. Being said by a dolt in a movie is fine. On a site that professes to have some journalistic integrity (bah!!), it's unacceptable.

And don't try to hide behind Vince Vaughn's performance in a movie. It's a freakin movie. If I'm offended by it, I won't see it. More likely, Vince will come across as a moron, like usual, and the film will be mildly entertaiing. The problem is the first line of an article that reads, "You know, I have to agree with Vince Vaughn here… electric cars are gay." The article is not about Vince Vaughn, but about the author's bias.

I don't care if it's from another website. That doesn't excuse it either. I come here, not that website, to be informed and entertained, not offended.

thetruth01, unacceptable? Just why isn't this acceptable? The stereotype that was being presented could very well be a positive one! I.e. maybe it's saying that gay people are more open minded? or maybe gay people care about the environment more?

lmao I don't see those stereotypes.

Dismal performance? how does that apply to a gay person?
Whisper quiet? lol many of the gay's I know are quiet outspoken people.
No macho factor...getting laid? Gays get laid too, you don't hear about 40 year old gay virgins too often now do you?

it appears as though it is YOU who harbors all of the negative stereotypes.

yes I did, there isn't much to read. You are so full of hate! You really are doing an injustice to gay people by attacking this so hard. You have made horrible assumptions about stereotypes that don't even make sense. I think secretly you are a homophobe that is overcompensating.

my ignorance? lol you're a funny one. So my stating that gays are more open and environmentally conscious is ignorant? And your inferring that gays have no performance, are whisper quiet, and have no macho factor is somehow enlightened? lmao you are such a hypocrite.

haha, the only hatred I see on this discussion board is you calling me inept, ignorant, and full of hate (and i95 who quickly realized how hypocritical his first post was)! The only time I have been anything but laughing at you is when you annoyed me and that lasted all of one post haha. No, it is you my friend that are full of hate continuously attacking, interpreting things in the absolute worst ways possible. You seriously need to lighten up, you're gonna have a heart attack if you let all this hate keep consuming you. I bet you shit bricks everytime you see an episode of south park or family guy, and spend far too many of your waking hours spreading your hate throughout the internet. I really do feel sorry for you. Go see a pharmacist, seriously, they can put your brain back in balance so you can lead a more fulfilling life!

What's this? You gave up trying to spin your self righteous views, but don't want to be the last to post so you end up giving a post with absolutely no meat to it? jeeze, it's like arguing to a brick wall! On the plus side it sounds as though you took my advice and visited the pharmacist :)

Yes I did, and I still don't see how all that applies to gay guys... they use their junk too. You interpreted this article in the most offensive way possible just so you would have something to bicker about. I think you did that because you have some huge negative stereotypes against gay people and you're still not willing to admit it because you are so self righteous.

It appears as though you needed the reminder. You keep insinuating that gay people are somehow castrated.

"You know, I have to agree with Vince Vaughn here… electric cars are gay.
Look at it from a car guys perspective.

Their performance is dismal, they’re whisper quiet, they have a macho factor of that is below that of a Volkswagen Beetle convertible and I can almost guarantee that if you show up to a date in one that you are NOT going to get laid.

Hell, I’ll even go as far as saying that if you’re a man and you go out and purchase an electric car then you should have every single one of your man privileges revoked immediately. "

Where in all of agent009's writing is the word gay?

is it that first line? I'm pretty sure he's not referring to gay people in it. He's referring to cars.

But I guess a guru DJ spinmaster such as your self would find it very easy to spin this article into something that it's not.

I'm sorry, but you're the one who came up with all the negative stereotypes so I don't really know what you are talking about. Why are you coming up with all these negative stereotypes? Are you homophobic?

Hey Speeding tickets.....
If you dont like the opinions that are posted on this THREAD i have an idea for you, DO NOT VISIT THIS thread.

It is actually quite easy to not click on this thread.

moron

yes , they better cool it . The company I work for just settled a discrimination suit and they are not cheap

001

I almost typed in {why don't you just ban this sportsbike80 IDIOT}

Then i realized that i would be doing the same exact thing he likes doing to others, which is shutting down any opinions he disagrees with.

So leave his moronic comments for all to see.

You think Sportsbike80 should be banned for pointing out unacceptable ignorance, but you can call people idiots and tell them to F*** off, with impunity? Yeah, you should be banned.

lol I love the circles of logic on this page. Sadly, everyone on this page that is pointing fingers are themselves becoming self righteous pretentious jerks. Thank goodness I only said that I was annoyed!

. . . This just reminded me why I stopped checking AutoSpies.
