Truckers Are "Four-D"ers: One Killed 7 In Fla.

Lol - it is funny, all this ignorance and hatred you spew. All this
name-calling and finger pointing you do - just remember, you so-called
Wiccan: "All good that a person does to another returns three fold in this
life; harm is also returned three fold."

 

You're comparing truck drivers to the physicists who dismantled the very
matter the universe is composed of?

You're confusing smart/stupid with good/evil. The difference is that
stupid,good people don't do much more for society than stupid,evil people.

You *must* admit that truckers are on the lower part of the IQ curve,
right? If not, let's just walk away since there's no common point to
start from.

I guess I wouldn't like the truth, either, if I were a truck driver.

 

Scenario: You have some oilfield equipment to haul from
Bakersfield, Calfornia to Farmington, New Mexico. You
could load it on a truck, haul it to the nearest place
to transfer it to rail, let it ride by rail to somewhere
such as Gallup, New Mexico, transfer it back to a truck,
and haul it to Farmington. You will have consumed the
better part of a week and have a very complex logistics
situation compared to loading the equipment once and
driving it directly to Farmington in two easy days
drive.

 

Absolutely.

I never met a truck driver who's come close to accidentally dismantling
the universe.

One of us is.

I wonder which one Jesus would agree with.

The pomposity of the modern scientist is pretty stunning.

Above and beyond opposing thumbs, our species' grand accomplishment is
having developed the ability to render itself extinct, an "honor" reserved
for us alone.

That would depend on the arena, of course.

Instead of your particularly meaningless (other that the -obvious-
Freudian implication) parameters, what if you and I were to be locked in a
room with one weapon between us, a more likely confrontation?

I mean, if we ever meet, we're not sitting down to a chessboard, right?

But I'd still put my IQ up against yours.

The truth here is far more damaging to you, my friend.

You wouldn't be here, period, if your IQ wasn't somewhere in this range.

Sorry.

 

Just what is the IQ range of the common troll, anyhow?

 

.... and you never will.

Jesus said to feed the hungry and help the poor, so he'd probably go with
the truck driver. But Jesus is imaginary, so it doesn't matter.

Not in my experience. The most pompous, most useless people I've met are
Wall Street types.

You're suggesting we'd be better off without science because we're able to
kill ourselves?

No, it really wouldn't.

What sort of weapon? I'm pretty handy with a knife or a pistol, but no
expert.

I'm smart enough not to assume like that. But statistically, it's very
unlikely that you'd win that bet.

I never mentioned my own IQ - or yours. You did (there's that Freudian
stuff again, huh?). I mentioned IQ in the context of the occupation
you're defending and are presumably a holder of.

And what's worse - being a truck driver because you're dumb and
uneducated, or being a truck driver *despite* being intelligent?

 

*Despite*? So what you are saying is, it's dumb to do something you enjoy,
are good at, take pride in, and are proud of? Having a broad variety of
opportunities at ones fingertips to choose as a vocation, it is dumb to
choose something that makes you happy, as opposed to choosing something that
society says is "better"? Comforming to the views of others, as opposed to
choosing your own path, despite the narrow-mindedness of others?

If ignorance is bliss - you must be in 7th Heaven, my friend.

 

How about a lowly patent clerk?

Good luck.

No Bucks, No Buck Rogers.

That's not what I said, Mr. College Boy.

I said the means to make ourselves extinct.

It's certainly arguable from the ant and rat colony perspective.

Definitely via Darwin.

We start rotting from birth, and science simply prolongs it.

I doubt you have a metric for that statement beyond baseless fantasy.

I have been shot and stabbed more than once (and am little worse for the
wear, IMA) and have replied in kind as well.

No one said anything about "statistically".

Even so, let's play a game with your pompous assumptions.

First, as I am a high school dropout (fact) , what's the chances of my IQ
meeting or exceeding yours?

That is incorrect.

I see your IQ doesn't extend into reading comprehension.

It would take too long to point out the many errors in the above
statement, suffice it to say, that of the several professions for which I am
qualified, I chose OTR driving as offering the most freedom and advantage.
If your ignorance and arrogance are an example of "education", we're all
much happier to be where we're at.

And it still doesn't explain what you're doing here...

Your "slip" is showing...

 

No, I didn't say it was 'dumb'. It would be more sad, I guess. In any
event, I don't think it's likely that there are many intelligent truck
drivers. I'm sure there are a lot of dopey ones who think they're smart,
though.

Someone with much of a mind *wouldn't* enjoy the mind-numbing hour after
hour of highway driving. Keeping a truck going in a straight line for ten
hours *isn't* something that someone should be taking pride in (or being
proud of, is that different?), any more than there's any reason other than
self-indulgence when the Special Olympians all get gold medals.

Believe me, I'm no conformist to society.

It's not.

 

Oh, so clever. A patent clerk has higher educational and intelligence
requirements than a truck driver.

Save it for someone who needs it.

So, be consistent. Disavow yourself from all gifts of science.

Well, I'll hand you the real-world advantage with light arms and bladed
weapons award. Do you think that being shot and stabbed hurts or helps my
assertion?

Yes, I did. I asked if you thought truckers were on the lower part of the
IQ curve. That's statistics.

I didn't make any claims about *your* IQ or mine specifically. You did.

Given that fact alone? Statistically, it's very low. That doesn't prove
anything about your IQ in particular, and I didn't claim that it did.

You might be the smartest truck driver in the world. There's a tallest
midget somewhere, too.

Look in the mirror. I already repeated my sentence that started this.

I also didn't tout education, and you've no idea what I think of the
usefuless of it, or its value to those who've had it. Or, for that
matter, what I've done.


It's funny that it's *you* who brought up Freud, then proceeded to see all
the things that bunch your panties in my words, though I never said any of
them.

I've always been here. What are *you* doing in *this* newsgroup?

 

Scenario:
You have some oilfield equipment to haul from
Bakersfield, Calfornia to Farmington, New Mexico. You
could load it on a truck, haul it to the nearby yard and transfer the
trailer to rail, let it ride by rail to somewhere
such as Gallup, New Mexico, transfer it off and hook on a cab,
and haul it to Farmington. You will have consumed the
better part of a week and have saved round trip truck and driver costs.
About 1/2 day at each end.

 

Cite, please.

Not previously.

No, it's not.

Yes, you did.

You made some grandly bigoted and ignorant claims about my IQ based solely
on my profession.

Next, how about the fact that I'm an Ex-Marine, or that I have 5 tattoos
and a brand?

Add that to my drop out/ truck driving IQ resume.

I'm a truck driver posting in a truck driving newsgroup, responding to
your sophomoric ignorance.

Regardless of your newsgroup of origin, you find it necessary to attempt
to demonstrate your alleged superiority by commenting about the supposed
inferiority of truck drivers to/in a truck driving forum which you could
have effortlessly removed from your posting string.

As I said, your Freudian slip is showing.

I do not suffer fools gladly.

 

Flush out your headgear, newguy.

I make an upper middle class salary, own a home in Gatlinburg, Tn and West
Palm Beach County, and see the sun rise in a different state every day.

I have satellite, pcs-notebook, and cel comm in the truck, with podcasts,
e-books and e-docs.

3400 mp4s on tap.

I scuba dive in world class mentionable locations once a month.

That's after retiring from a 24 year career in another field.

You and KK are grossly bigoted scumbags.

 

Dude? OK.. that helps explain a few things. You're either a
hippie-tree-hugger stuck in the sixtys or some surfer "dude" from
California... or you just need to grow up. yeah, that's probably it.
Yes, I'm sure you have driven on the road with trucks.. and
unfortunately, us trucks have to drive on the road every day with cars.

Discourteous and unsafe. Hmm... be sure to give us your car description
and license plate number so if we see your car broke down on the side of
the road we'll be sure NOT to stop.

Yeah, well I've had cars tailgate my rig in snow, ice, rain, sleet and
hail storms. I've had cars fly around my truck doing 70 MPH in a 70MPH
zone and cut so close in front of me that it disappears in front of my
hood. And, uh, those trucks going side-by-side on the Interstate
backing up traffic are actually doing you a favor. If you'll look
closely (assuming you can get your head out of your a$$ long enough,
that is) you'll notice those bright orange MERGE signs. Oh wait,
four-wheelers can't see those can they? Two trucks side-by-side usually
indicates a lane closed ahead and people trying to jump in the open lane
at the last minute. either that or one truck is goverened a little
slower than the other and the slightly faster truck is trying to pass
the slower one. Man, I wish cars were cut off at 68 MPH.

OOOHHH... One guy kills someone and we're all bad. When I was a kid I
had a friend get killed riding a horse. The horse got spooked because
some drunk in a car thought it was funny to honk their horn as they
passed him on the road. The horse jumped, he fell off... foot caught in
the stirrup... drug him down the road and smacked his head up against a
tree. It was a tragedy that could have been avoided had the people in
the car been courteous enough to pass quietly. But I don't blame ALL
car drivers and say they are ALL stupid, drunk assholes. Nor did I
start a campaign to shoot all the horses of the world and cut down all
the trees. The world is not perfect, and nothing you say will ever make
it that way. The best thing for you to do is open your eyes and realize
there are bad apples in every bunch... not just truckers. If you can't
handle the pressure of living in such an imperfect world.. most towns
have at least one gun shop. Find yourself a nice pistol, stick a bullet
in the chamber and fire it at the side of your head. End your
suffering... and ours.

Never been a Teamster... or in any union as far as that goes and
probably never will. I just speak from experience and maintain a firmer
grasp on reality that you tend to exhibit.

Yeah, well, 15-year-olds know everything... except how to obey the law
that says they can't drive without an adult in the car.

 

You want a cite that a patent clerk position requires a high school
diploma?

Yes. In the first post I made in this thread, in fact.

Yes, it is. An IQ curve necessarily implies a representation of a
population of people.

You saying I did doesn't make it so.

No. I made a general observation about the IQ of people in your
profession (which you haven't addressed or challenged at all).

How about it?

But I don't care about your resume, and it's not about you specifically.

You keep trying to analyze me from some words I've typed. And you keep
failing.

So it's on-topic.

As could have the person who posted prior to mine removed the group I'm
reading in from his.

I do not think that means whatever you think it means.

Then you picked the wrong profession!

 

<snip a piss poor tap dance>

Well you don't have the IQ to match wits with a truck driver.

 

You've yet to refute my statement that generated all your self-validating
, strutting, and name-calling.

 

You've yet to validate your statement.

And there's still Freud.

 

If you want to load the trailer on the train, you'll have to
drive to Long Beach or somewhere similar where there are
facilities for putting the trailer on a train. At the other
end, you may have to go to ABQ to find a place to take the
trailer off the train. You've now routed on truckload through
two congested metropolitan areas just so the trailer can take
a ride on the train.

Let's agree that the railroads have gotten quite efficient
at movement of bulk commodities from point A to point B by
the trainload as with coal. In this case, the train rolls
through the loading facilities, travels to the destination,
rolls through the unloading facilities, and travels back to
the mine. If the shipper and receiver have rail service to
their sites, carloads can be handled reasonably efficiently.
If either has no rail service to the door, things are less
efficient and if you have less than a carload, the RRs don't
even talk to you anymore.

 

Judging from your fascination with the Wiccan NG, it seemed like you were.
Guess it was just another NG you were trolling, you lying sack of ****.

One could only wish.
