Crappy, liberal leaning education system is turning out a bunch of ignorant automatons. They just spew the same mindless drivel they are taught without even knowing what it means. It is a constant battle to keep these teachers from ruining your kids.
Yep, they are training our kids to be good little communists. I have to "uneducate" my daughter everyday when she comes home from school. Public education, even in some of the best neighborhoods, is a joke. They are teaching our kids that we were attacked on 9/11 because we are rich, decadent, and wasteful.

It''''s cause you CAN''''T SPANK YOUR KIDS anymore...........
That''s what they want you to think. Corporal punishment (spanking) is allowed in all 50 states:
http://www.childadvocate.org/1a_laws.htm
Parents won''t spank their kids, because it''s easier to just choose the path of least resistance and not discipline their kids. Discipline isn''t just smacking brats around, it requires the parent to sometimes be a hard a$$. Most parents are too concerned their kids won''t like them. They don''t need another BFF, they need a parent!

Exactly. Nothing wrong with a little coperal punishmint now and then. Now I aint saying be cruel, like hit em for no reason, or when their sleeping, but sometimes a firm swat to the behind gets more done than saying now presious I dont wan''t to hurt you''re feelings.
Lets'' just say my kids have mouthed off once, each.

I cant stand this crap. I remember at the store nearby my former boss said that someone asked "Why arent you driving your Hummer? Gas to expensive?" (Or something to that effect, it may not be exact) I seriously think its because they are/were jealous.
Guess what I stumbled upon while looking for a Pro-SUV bumper sticker - http://shop.cafepress.com/suv. Theres lots of Anti-SUV stickers saying how soldiers are dying because we are driving SUVs, and how we have small private parts, not to mention the enviromental ones. Excuse me but I dont see the correlation between penis size and a SUV.
On my reading through something on AutoBlog I stumbled upon this - http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/06/27/high-gas-prices-to-keep-10-million-cars-off-the-roads/ Just look at the comments under that article, some people are glad that gas prices are rising because it could take vehicles off the road. I left a comment under the name "Foxtrot" because I was pretty pissed off. I already barely get out of the house (I am 17 with no license and in the process of a certification) because of the gas prices.
I think its just so damn ridiculous how anti-SUV people are being lately. Hell, not even just SUVs sometimes, automobiles in general. If you want to live the 18th century life then I guess you should join the amish.
But, I still hope to be a future Hummer owner

Young man, you are wise beyond your years. I just wish there were more people like you in your generation. I''m glad that you can see beyond the rhetoric and pick out the truth.

I have been racking my brain trying to come up with reasons why Hummers evoke such strong hatred from some people. Even once you explain how your H3 is getting about the same MPG or better than many pickups and SUVs, people still find reasons to hate Hummer. Feel free to add your own theories. Know you enemy as yourself, I always say.
- Hummers are American made
- Hummers have a direct link to the U.S. military through their cousin, the HMMWV (Humvee)
- Rich people are known to drive Hummers
- Hummers have a distinct, masculine, iconic styling. Hummer has never attempted to soften the look of their vehicles.
- Hummers are somewhat rare and stick out in traffic

Thanks alot
I looked up some cars on fueleconomy.gov and to be honest, with that as the source, even some cars dont do much better than the H3. I recall just reading someone saying Hummer could just change the image and it could be saved (in reference to the possibility of getting rid of the Hummer brand), but then what would the Hummer be? They said they should just lose the luxury SUV stuff and make it smaller aswell as appeal to younger drivers. I dont get it, if you make it much smaller than the H3 I think it will probably look too much like a Jeep or a Suzuki, which would mean it isnt unique anymore, not to mention that just isnt what a Hummer is supposed to be. I like to quote a Corvette owner who commented on some anti-sports car users (If I recall correctly) and said "And I hope you get lost in the parking lot because so many cars look just like yours". I dont think I''''''''''''''''ve mistaken anything for a Hummer except the new FJ Cruiser, mostly when I see the similar front-end. IMO, too many cars look alike these days, I have trouble especially with the Toyota and Honda look-a-likes though.
So far I think you pretty much got that list down. Basically it can be any of the above reasons and any combination. Its like Hummer gets attacked from all sides aswell, you get the enviroment people, the people who say Hummer owners never go offroad, the Jeep people who say the Hummer isnt a capable offroad vehicle and how much better a Jeep is, people who blame Hummers for high gas prices and/or the deaths of soldiers in Iraq, and then the people who are just jealous of the Hummer and/or owner.
PS- Whenever I type a '' it multiplies itself in the post???

I wish I knew more people like yourself. You are very educated and know darn well the game that is being played with our minds these days. An old lady came into the local body shop (my friend is getting his Camaro painted) the other day crying for service. She owned a Toyota Camry, about a year old I''d say. She said she got rid of her old car, a Buick Lesabre because the SALESMAN told her at Toyota that GM does not make fuel efficent vehicles and that Toyota only makes fuel efficent cars. People fall for this garbage? I couldn''t believe it when I heard it. When I informed her of the GM efficent vehicles she had the guts to call me a liar and say that the "commercials" on tv say different. The whole media biz has gone crazy. Brainwash at the fullest exposure?

Wow, shocking. There are many people out there that want a total and complete ban on pickup trucks and large SUVs. I''''ve heard rumours of proposed legislation that in some states that would limit who can own and operate large, non-commercial vehicles. You would basically have to apply for a permit to drive a 3/4 ton pickup or a large SUV. Even if SUVs could get 30 MPG, many on the left hate them all the same. They feel unsafe in their sardine can because people like us are driving 4,700+ lbs vehicles with larger tires and steel brush guards. I hate to be an alarmist, but the communists are coming and they will not stop until you are driving what they are driving. Hummer owners are probably the first to feel the wrath of the left, but other makes/models had better get wise, because they are next.

Theres also people who dont like Sports Cars (for example the Corvette) so apparently we are all supposed to drive cars the size of a Prius (if not smaller) with low Horsepower and no room for groceries or hardware not to mention towing. Okay, I admit I think some of the smaller cars are.... "cute" but that doesent mean I want to be forced to drive one myself. You could probably make the SUVs run off pure air and they would still be complaining. I remember reading some article on the Army and a new Hummer Hybrid IIRC, It looked like it was cut down to the size of a dune buggy and someone commented and said "I dont care if its a Hybrid, it still uses materials from the environment" or something to that effect. On that ban site they mention in the Hatemail section about 4WD cars, I guess you can forget about going offroad too, because apparently you should have a 4WD CAR.

Had a Corvette owner say something the other day when I was driving The H2 about being able to fiond a parking spot. I told him........If I can''t find an empty one, I can always use your spot, just look under my truck to find your car when you think you''re ready to leave.
He huffed, slamed his door and peeled out when he left!! HAHA
