I no longer have a Prius. That was in high school and I pointed that out because that's how I grew up. It was very important to my parents that I don't contribute to global warming so hence the Prius. Big SUVs are so wasteful. That's a fact Americans love to ignore.

You and your family sound insufferable. We have a Prius AND a big big SUV. A Prius can’t tow my horses around a yes the horses fart and probably contribute to glow or warming too. You are ridiculous. Live your life and let other people live theirs. You have no idea why people do what they do or whether they tells you anything about their values. You just don’t.

Hit a nerve? Driving a huge suv does tell you something about people's values. "Live your life and let others waste, pollute, consume, blah blah. It's the American way. Go America!

And you know what. Yeah. Go America. It’s the best and most free country in the world and we are sending so much help and care to turkey right now so why don’t you just shut up for half a beat and be incredibly grateful that you are here and not there. If you don’t like the American way, leave.

It's safer FOR YOU. It's actually more dangerous for everyone else.

Yeah until your kid gets hit walking to school....

Oh wait that's only for the poors right?

I drive my kid 35+ minutes to private school. Yeah, I need a car. And yeah, I'm going to be safe doing it.

+1 Yep, it's only for the poors. I drive mine to private school in my SUV. One of 3 we own. Not sorry one bit.

Funny thing is, we ARE poor, relatively. DH is a military officer, I make half what he does. And yeah, we still focus on money on things that matter - private school and a comfortable SUV.

This comment is ironic because last night when a man was shooting people at Michigan State for no freaking reason and college kids were cowering in their dorm rooms and parents where frantically trying to find out if they were okay, I thought to myself: this isn't freedom.

You think freedom is driving your giant SUV. I think freedom is not worrying about being hit by a giant SUV, or my kid being run over by one.

I'd freaking love to leave this stupid country.

That's going to be uncomfortable and too hard to grasp for the SUV drivers.

hard to answer for DC but we live in NYC and have a house upstate and we need an SUV. we literally cannot get into our driveway if it snows or is icy without the suv in 4wd/ snow and ice. we also couldn't safely drive around outside the city anywhere rural without it. also some SUVs are electric now.

Well honey, your kids are much more likely to get hit by a car in Turkey than they are here. Might not be an SUV but since you'd be walking more, you'd be at more risk of getting hit as a pedestrian.

Also, your rage about SUVs is worrisome. You should talk to someone about that.

What do you consider a huge SUV? A Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot or are we talking Suburbans and Escalades?

It's cute how you think I meant anything other than "IT'S SAFER FOR ME"

we are aware.

I'm sure everyone other than me buys a car thinking "geez, how would a pedestrian feel if my new car hit him/her." What a stupid premise. What I do care about is that if another huge SUV/Truck hits my car on the highway. I'd rather be protected. And so would you, but apparently, you're too much of a troll to admit it.

I know it's hard for you to fathom, but other people do think about the overall safety and effect on the climate for other people. It's telling that this is a foreign concept to you and that you don't think they can possibly be sincere.

DP.

In my case, I care only about my kids’ safety. MY KIDS COME FIRST! I will do anything to protect my children.

Any mom who would not put their kids first, well - there is something seriously wrong with that mom.

And your kids' planet? Economy? Food system? Ability to snorkel the coral?

We weren't discussing climate when I said I drive mine because it's safer. We were discussing safety. I can't worry about the climate if I'm six feet under.

How do you get to those places? OH Yeah, you take a giant jet. STFU

Then leave. Why can’t you? Is it due to a job that you can get here but perhaps isn’t available in your preferred destination? If so, then maybe you just need to go back and choose a different profession. Or perhaps because in turkey women are increasingly oppressed?
