    You should read your own link. Nowhere in there does it list “bitching about something in a dark corner of the internet on a private forum”

    All of the examples listed – kinda require you getting out of your chair and you know doing something.

    But you haven’t, and won’t. And instead of admitting that, you’re going to argue what the definition of “doing something” means. You’re not stupid. You know you haven’t ever done anything, you know that nothing in your life has contributed at all to the subject matter at hand.

    But also I know you haven’t done anything either, and that calls into question your virtues, and that ruffles your feathers.

    It’s not enough to just have “good thoughts”. I at least realize that the herculean effort required to achieve such change is beyond the average persons capabilities or even desires. That doesn’t make me a bad person, just someone who understands the reality of the situation at hand.

    You know how 0.9999999999999999999999999~ = 1?

    It’s like that. A rounding error at best. So yes, in reality, nothing.

    If all you’re doing is bitching about it on the internet, then you are doing nothing and then acting virtuous about doing nothing.

    YAY you have warm fuzzy thoughts and feelings! Congratulations you’re a “good person”!










  • We’ve decided morally, that killing is wrong. So if killing is wrong, but we have to keep killers out of society, then we’ve got to put them in a place away from society. Somewhere along the way, we decided that killing isn’t the only thing that requires you be separated from society.

    You haven’t committed a crime, therefore are free to succeed or fail at life all on your own. Society hasn’t judged you, therefore society hasn’t seen the need to take care of you either.




  • Too long to find an actual reasonable reply in this thread.

    Likely cracked in collision, they probably didn’t see the damage to it, likely didn’t replace it. Buy the piece and replace it if it’s that big of a deal. These pieces are all bolted on from the inside, after taking a few bolts out. This piece can be had as an “Inner Tail Light”, for $70, and replaced in 10 minutes with a small set of hand tools.

    It’s already easily accessible in this car because you’ve gotta be able to replace the bulb, so it’s likely as simple as opening a hatch or door panel type thing behind it.
