Definitions of NASCAR & NASCAR Dads

[Wells]

NASCAR: a sport (sic) that glorifies reckless endangerment, ego-maniacally competitive road rage; encouragement of the widespread waste of a finite, heavily polluting natural resource; driving in circles like a dogs chasing their tails.

NASCAR Dads: Type A male who reveres motorized speed as a means of bolstering a sagging ego; often demands unquestioning obedience and subservience from family members. The average NASCAR Dad is employed in the automotive field, (trucking and delivery, maintenance, fueling, sales, misc motorized travel). The inate insecurity of their occupations produces the outward manifestation of recklessness and often leads to family violence and battering.

Resident DUHbya promotes NASCAR the same way Bill Gates promotes computers: in his own interest and those of his corporate cronies who profit from our addiction to automobiles.

The automobile is the central means by which the elite maintain their position at the top of the economic ladder, and, maintain they're control over all, local to global, economic structures of societal livelihoods.

The Bush Klan have been among the "induced automobile-dependency" conspirators since WW1. It's a very Skull n' Bones kind of thing.

4. Yes they did. I never believed that NASCAR was a......

"Republican Sport" as Country Music IS "Republican Music".

NASCAR has a diverse fan base, particularly in when it comes to
politics.

Country "Music" on the other hand is clearly the choice of
reich wing men who demand that their women be servient to them.
That's why they did not like the Dixie Chicks, they disobeyed
DAS MAN.

Let's not ridicule NASCAR, it's not Country "Music" afterall.

2. Uhhh, is this sarcasm or something?

"The automobile is the central means by which the elite maintain their position at the top of the economic ladder, and, maintain they're control over all, local to global, economic structures of societal livelihoods."

?

"The average NASCAR Dad is employed in the automotive field, (trucking and delivery, maintenance, fueling, sales, misc motorized travel)."

Either back that up or call it an opinion. Besides, aren't these the working people that the Democratic party purports to try and represent?

What nauseating classist bullshit.
How depressing to see this stuff here.

Do you really think that men in certain professions are more likely to 'batter'?

6. This thread sucks

I've alerted the mods.

If you don't like Nascar, that's fine, but to degrade those who do, is wrong.

7. That officaly takes the prize..

For the absolutely most moronic post I have ever seen on a message board in my whole life. Anywhere.

Congratulations.

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics that mention any or all of the Democratic presidential primary candidates are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum.
