"You never get over it. You just cope and try to go on," he said.

I couldn't believe it because this is a red car. My daughter was killed in a red car

Yeah, I had an accident last year which totalled my RED car, and the insurance would only pay for a black one.

RED CARS KILL.

I saw Cars and it never once crossed my mind that someone would get the wrong idea about racing trains. I guess I'll have to stop watching Groundhog Day: train race, driving a car into a pit quarry, and a toaster in the bath tub.

Disney's statement works for me:
Lightning McQueen's poor judgment in outrunning the train reveals his reckless and thoughtless behavior and is certainly not glorified.

he has a point after watching cheech and chongs next movie the first thing i did is by cocain from space aliens and snort it all at once and launched myself into outer space just like they did because once you see something animated in a movie you have no self control you have to do whatever it is you see in animated movies whether you want to or not . /s

In a statement, Disney officials say: "Lightning McQueen's poor judgment in outrunning the train reveals his reckless and thoughtless behavior and is certainly not glorified."

That might be credible if some "car" actually got smashed in the film trying it.

This whole thing sounds just like those who complain about TV shows like Jackass showing people doing really stupid things.

It can be a fine line at times, but somewhere on that line there is a place for personal responsiblity and common sense.

So I guess this means we shouldn't be allowed to see the scene in the original Superman movie where Clark Kent outraces a train.

There was a lot of fast driving in that movie too. As I recall, many people have died from driving way too fast. They should get rid of all the scenes where cars drive too fast, including all of the race scenes. A lot of good NASCAR drivers have died due to driving fast on racetracks.

I am SICK of self righteous fools who are unable to deal with their losses imposing their grief and stupidity on the rest of us.

This is just another example of PC thugs trying to impose their "vision" on the rest of, he should just stay away from the movie, not buy the video, and STFU!

I feel the same way about "roadside memorials", they are tolerable if taken down after a reasonable time, like one week.

But these crybabies who want to keep them up permanently, often with public money or endless donations that could be used to help THE LIVING, disgust me.

Tragedy is a part of living, it happens, deal with it, and if you cant, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Real cars don't talk. I'm tired of activists who constantly deny any awareness of the off button or personal responsibility.

If only Lanny Wilson were troubled by the word 'God' on our currency or in the pledge of allegiance - then he could get a judge to issue a command on his behalf. Alas - I don't think the judges will come to his aid. And yet, he's got such a strong and compelling argument. Is there no justice in this nation?

It is my opinion that the protesting of Cars is due to the renewed interest that is created in Route 66. I know the focus is on the train; but tis my opinion.

I was once frightened by a dream about large furry aliens.

Therefore all movies should be scrubbed clean of any appearances by large furry aliens from Wookies down to but not including ewoks. (ewoks should be removed purely due to common decency)

When is his interview with Larry King? Will he be making the morning talk show rounds? And, the absolute coup, when will he be on Oprah? And the ultimate authority tells us how we should feel about this.

Is this one of those deals where someone says something arguable and we aren't allowed to respond to him because he is a victim?

Yet another example of the "Infallibility of Grief", as opined by Anne Coulter.

"Man Fights To Have Scene Removed From Disney (CARS) Film"

I think this guy is on to something here.

In light of all the school shootings I think we should remove any scene where someone points a gun at someone and pulls the trigger.

Lets start with "Saving Private Ryan"

Its for the children you know!

Geez: Maybe, just maybe somebody ought to tell their kids that movies are not real! That just might fix a lot of things.
