I see tons of SUVS, RVS and 4x4s with bikes and cargo going away for the weekends with the whole family. Tons of idiots driving huge trucks that make loud noises and stupid people with expeditions and HUGE cargos. If you have nothing to do, please stay home now because i'm paying 4.15 a gallon. Man i'm pissed. sorry.

Works for me, dude. Unless I just wanna hop on my bicycle and go have some enchiladas at Su Casa in La Jolla. Prolly get drunk on margaritas and stagger down to Neptune St. and fall in the ocean. Tough life but somebody's gotta do it. I can understand why there's a lot of traffic on the 5, but why is there so much traffic on the 8? I never understood that.

Sounds to me like someone needs anger management or just stay home. Kind of a simple solution here.

For what ever reason the title of this thread is misleading......

They are just trying to park their money somewhere that it is safe.

Like Cyprus, where if you register your corporation there, you only pay 3% tax. Or the Channel Islands which have no tax codes, and the multinational corporations virtually bought out the government there. Well, given the endless tax hikes, over-regulation and a global free-trade climate, why is it not surprising?

Anyone doing that should be stopped by any means necessary including lethal force.

Sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

It is amazing how much a sin tax will drive up the price of a relatively inexpensive product.

High gas prices and the accompanying recesssions are huge life savers. Every one dollar rise in gas means somewhere around 3000 fewer highway deaths that year as idiot americans drive slower and drive less. When the numbers come out for 2011, i think we'll find highway deaths were around 30,000. They had been stuck around 38,000 from 2000 thru 2006.

Whats a norway.? Oh yeah - that's the capital of sweden. Anyway, you people shouldn't complain cause all you have is snow and there's nowhere to go anyhow. America is different. We have the greatest country in history and we like to travel and see it.

For sure that happened in 2008. Prices got above $4 in the summer and 6 months later were under $1.40 where i live!!! That's manipulation.
