Look, I don't care who you are, when you say crap that is blatantly un-true while proclaiming knowledge - you don't exactly come off as "rational".
With whatever respect I can muster - my daughter is 18yo and you sound like her - sharp, outwardly-witty, and cute but contextually vapid and shrill at the same time.


I'm 50yo and have been wrong across broad topics many times during my life - all that does not mean I am wrong now. Give me specifics or shut up and go away.

Take this for the long term; guys like him do not care about hard data points and logic it's all about feelings and conjecture.

Are you genetically predisposed to tangential arguments or might you hold a linear thought for maybe a minute to two?

TxDOT is almost as incompetent and as dysfunctional as an average Dallas driver, which is a really bad thing.

The problem with them is that they do everything from an engineering standpoint - "I can build a freeway right here" - with absolutely no regard to long-term effect on the surrounding neighborhood. They are still stuck in the 1950s-1960s way of road-building.
That pretty much summarizes how things are done in Dallas.

Whenever a friend of mine visits Dallas from out of town, they always tell me it feels like they jumped on a time machine and went 30-40 years back. This city needs to come back to 2014 and realize that the old methods don't work anymore.

More to the point you should leave. Everything you have said in other threads about Dallas' drivers is pure nonsense. So forgive me if I don't give your thinking much weight here.

Let me guess, you are one of those horrible Dallas drivers who have no clue how to operate a vehicle. Why else would you be defending them relentlessly? Of course you will defend your kind of people. It's natural.

No, I despise bad/slow drivers and lane cloggers. But I'm with it enough to know that your gibberish about everyone driving 60 or less in the fast lane of the DNT is raw nonsense.

Wow. I thought that "I" was a jackass. Someone on here doesn't do anything but talk out of their @ss.


Anyway... That freeway needs to go.

All it takes is 2-3 people to block the lanes to cause everyone to drive at ridiculously low speeds. I didn't say everyone drives slow voluntarily. Some people are forced to drive slow because lanes are invaded and blocked by people like you who are just joyriding.
