When exactly did I get "nasty"? When I said I thought you were wrong and then backed myself up? Just because I disagree with you and have factual info to support my opinion does not make me nasty. Either way, I was never looking for an apology, only trying to educate you on a subject that you seemed interested in but not very well informed. I do find it a bit strange though that Jim and Gromit disagree with you and you all the sudden flip and are calling yourself an idiot, a butt, foolish, and narrow-minded. And I wasn't on a debate team either, although my mom always said I should've been.

Jim and Gromit did disagree with me and I also told them I was looking at the topic with blinders on. See I am NOT admitting you are right. Gromit is right about Amtrak only using 1 % of the railways. But, trains in general are cleaner then cars and planes. I was talking about passenger trains...Not freight trains.
Amtrak is better but, if it only counts of 1% of a whole industry...then really it doesn't make a difference. But, if you look at commuter trains..most of them are electric and I do believe or electric with diesel fuel. When I lived in Oakland, CA..I did use BART and it is pretty fast and a prefer way to train. Right now California is looking into a high speed train to connect to major cities like LA and San Fransisco.

I support people having more opinions to travel this country. Europe and Asia has it why can we? In Europe...you can take a train...and boats ferries and cargo ships. We have government owned Amtrak, car or plane.
This also supports my argument too. But, NOT in the states.

I was referring to the debate comment on being nasty. I think you wanted a argument throwing that comment in there. Like "HA I am right!!'' kinda thing. |
