This thread has become one of the dumbest threads that I can remember.

Congrats to JSA for ruining the internets.

Looking at results Edwards didn't get credit for finishing. He should have carried the steering wheel across.

If he came sliding across in just the seat does it count? Given that he didn't get credit I assume it has to be under power of the car.

I also wonder how much money this question has cost me.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

LOL! Yeah, just like the race car is "transporting" the steering wheel!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

LOL! I'd like to see the reaction you get from an F1 or NASCAR driver when you tell them they're basically the same as a steering wheel!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I don't think that would count. After all, the "purpose" of a race car is to "transport" the wheels, and the seats, and the fuel tank, and the ...

Wow, you're really taking a detour to stupidville today.

The person is not a component of the car anymore than the person is a component of a firearm. One is a driver (drives the car - not a part of the car) and the other is a shooter (fires the weapon - not a part of the firearm).

That's ok. We all know you get in these moods occasionally where your hormones just won't allow you to abandon a ridiculous argument no matter how tenuous the thread you've attempted to establish.

Is there a full moon? Or maybe you're on your period?

In a race car, the person IS a component of the car. If the person leaves the car, the person is disqualified from the race. The race is measured by the car crossing the finish line, not the driver.

Your lack of knowledge on this topic is only paralleled by your lack of knowledge of the civilian firearms market. Much like that discussion, you find yourself backed into another corner and your muskrat-like tenacity is not only admirable, but cute and scrappy!

Slowguy can go pretty low. I think he is only about 5' 6". But he is a scrappy little fellow!

Thanks for keeping the conversation going. ;-)

It's amazing how some people can believe such a ridiculous premise as 'guns are designed to kill'. And their out sized, emotional response to any challenge to that premise belies their cognitive dissonance on the subject.

If they can't understand that most guns are designed for multiple purposes, from hunting to target shooting, to competitions, etc, then they are obviously using the 'guns are designed to kill' idea to paint all gun owners as (potential) killers and therefore are worthy of ridicule and more. Much like the labeling of people as racist, sexist, nazis.

This is pretty silly. I'm one of the guys here telling the obvious truth, which is that firearms are, by and large, designed to kill or injure. I'm also now more than 20 years into a military career, shoot regularly, shoot reasonably well, and have no particular problem with hunting or self defense gun ownership.

Guns are tools. It's helpful to know what your tool was meant to do. It's ridiculous to shut your eyes and cover your ears and deny what your tool was designed to do just because you're afraid that some anti-gun person will try to make fun of you for it.
