Any suitably ignorant mass of people is always a ripe target for pseudoscientific exploitation.

Actually, you are wrong, there are prototypes that do run on water, and do run on air. They just aren't powerful enough for anyone to care yet.

time for a Big Lebowski segue


The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.


HAHAH OMG I WAS JUST THINKING THAT

That word pretty much equates to calling a black man a nigger or a latino a spic.

I disagree.

This does remind me of a joke that a comedian tells about a little person saying that calling him a midget is the same as calling a black man the N word.

then the comedian says "yeah, but one will get you kicked in the shin and the other will get you beat the fuck up."

Sure, sure...I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona for your invest in, too...(with a polite nod to George).

Do you REALLY want to sit on a tank of COMPRESSED air with 4500 psi (300bar) Huge quantities of energy can be stored with compressed air, there are two powerplants in the world that run on it.

Now the water car... mmmm I'll pass on that too far out into the questionable science category.

well at least if you get into a minor fender bender you won't know you have died since you will have exploded in milliseconds.
You haven't done any reading yet :cool:
The tanks are made from wound carbon fiber so any accident just causes a loud hissing noise as the air escapes.

At the rate we continue to burn fossil fuels, you may someday have some takers. :biggrin1:

Tata is bringing compressed air vehicles to the market soon.

Businessweek The Air Car

This is the same Tata that recently bought Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford Motors.

Lol agreed. Too bad the auto-matrix won't exist anytime soon, it could easily solve that problem

Well no. A man from China is a Chinaman the same way a man from England is an Englishman, the same way a man from France is a Frenchman. I don't see any insult in simply using a word to denote gender and nationality in identifying the sex and nationality of someone.

Now if he said, "Chink," then I think you'd have a case.

Well lets see:

Urban Dictionary: china man

Chinaman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ted Turner Apologizes for ‘Chinaman’ Comment - NAM

Now what do you say?

(The right wing neo con wacko is apparentlythe most understanding, weird)

You can invent an insult and make it sound like a real one in those sites.:cool:

It's hard to keep up with political correctness and anyway I think it is up to the individuals to stop being offended by words and not politicians telling us what we can or cannot call people.

If everyone in an ethnic community decided not to take offence by a particular word then it would lose any insult power.

As kids we learned that 'Chinaman' was derogatory and I have always heard it used as such. Perhaps it's a west coast thing that easterners (N. American) are not attuned to, due to the smaller Chinese immigrant population in eastern cities. In Vancouver, I think you'd find it is considered to be a derogatory term by most people.

A better phrase is, 'a Chinese man'.
