Mercedes lost a lot of its momentum because of how cheap it is to purchase now, same with BMW's and Porsche's. They aren't as desirable since their entry-line models are relatively affordable for cars like that. I will admit though, my dad's friend has a Mercedes sedan from 2008 and when I ride in it, the ride is SO SMOOTH

« on: September 07, 2014, 03:43:27 PM »I like less sporty cars too. like, if someone offered to buy me a $100,000 car, meaning I could only choose one and I didn't have the actual income to let me buy it, then I would definitely go with an S-class
but if I DID have income like that, I'd most definitely get a GT-R first, and then buy an S-class later
Speaking of Mercedes, they just came out with a new electric vehicle and here's what it looks like:
It is listed at $41,000 which is ridiculous to me.
Every car maker seems to be creating their own green/hybrid/electric car now, Toyota has done it, Honda has done it, Mercedes now does it and BMW just did it with their new model the i3:
If I were to get an electric car though, it'd have to be this for looking the coolest.

Most of my friends would say the same and think it is a car for old people, and I can see what they mean but Bentley isn't known for being 'sporty', which often grabs young people; Bentley is known for being a classy car (which draws in mostly older people).

Thoughts on the new Bentley SUV?
I think their first take on an SUV looks fantastic, but lets see if that means that the model will get a lot of sales. For $200,000, I'm not sure if it'll be insanely popular. It definitely has a lot of swagger though. I used to think that the Porsche Cayenne and Macan were the most stylish and lavish looking SUV's, but this Bentley tops them all.

« on: September 07, 2014, 03:17:21 PM »The median household income of Hispanics in 2012 was $39,000. I had trouble getting a definitive figure for the median household income of a immigrant Muslim family, but iraq.usembassy.gov says "Forty-one percent of all Muslim Americans and 45 percent of immigrant Muslims report annual household income levels of $50,000 or higher".
Probably the biggest reason people enter the military is for financial reasons. They pay for your college and you get money. Hispanic youth see it as an escape from poverty, but less Muslim children see it as their only option. I don't think your evidence shows that Hispanics 'like' America any more than the Muslims do.
edit: I found some highly relevant reading

Gonna reiterate:
Many also join the military to fight for their country, and to show their love for their country..

« on: September 07, 2014, 02:44:33 PM »I'm sure the fact that a lot of the Arabic world feels some sort of resentment towards the US has nothing to do with the fact that the US has destabilized Iraq to the point where it is nothing but a black hole that threatens to destabilize the region further, has been droning civilians to death in search of insurgents, which has done nothing more than create terrorists, and helped create Al-Qaeda by funding the mujahideen.
As much as I agree with you, Iraq was a wreck before we went in.

Refugee
Money
Fame
Other reasons I'm too lazy to list.
I'm more than sure that you can acquire money, and fame in tons of other countries beside America. Not to mention, there are many other countries that will take in refugees depending on their circumstances.

That doesn't mean black people are at fault, it just means that the neighborhoods that they grew up in were a horrible place to be raised.
Hopefully poverty ends and everyone's annual income reaches the same as Donald Annoying Orange!

« on: September 07, 2014, 01:30:55 PM »I agree they are total hypocrites. I think poverty may be one factor, but most of these terrorists are also young men in their 20s. A lot of them have had a college education. It's pretty much a fact that younger men are more susceptible to violence. That, and they may feel like they are being alienated by their society, and not given enough opportunity, especially by a society that is made to think that Muslims are the bad guys. They may feel like what is going on is unjust, and many of them probably self-radicalize via the Internet
Also yes, even today we are feeling the effects of segregation. In my school people tend to divide themselves racially, which is insane. The problem goes back many years unfortunately, and it will take many years to solve it.
All cultures these days keep to their own, its sad. We should all come together and sing Kumbaya

Who is at fault then? If the neighborhood they grew up in was so awful and crime-ridden, they should of thought twice about moving out.

Character and the way you present yourself means everything. If you come to a job interview wearing a torn jacket, then surely you will most likely not get the job and I don't blame the employer. Employers have every right to lay someone off because of how they dress or may look.
