Speed Killz, as does head-ons.

Miracle economy be damned. These chicom a-holes haven't changed their spots one bit. They're still the same infantile droolers they always have been.

Do the Commies still execute the failed officials they replace?

It’s my understanding that the problem is that most of the parts were made in America.

[Kickass Conservative]

I just realized something. The next Republican President, (Please Lord), should just rename all the Cabinet Posts “Ministries”.

Department of Education becomes the Ministry of Education.

Since the Libtards will never allow the elimination of useless Cabinet Departments, renaming them will at least show the American people what we are really dealing with.

One thing I could never figure out...Why do they put those gaps in the skirting instead of just running the fiberglass all the way from the front to the back of the high speed rail cars. Is it because it’s easier to put air in the tires that way?

[Kickass Conservative]

That wasn't it. The stalled train was actually the new Stealth Bullet Train Prototype the Chicoms were working on.

It worked so good, the collision avoidance technology was deemed useless.

They will probably execute the Engineer of the train that ran into the stalled Stealth train, if he survived the collision of course. If he's dead, I'm sure the Commies will execute his Family.

In Communist China corruption is a capital offense.

"In Communist China corruption is a capital offense."

Wasn't talking about corruption . . . just plain incompetence.

If both trains were going at .001 m/s there would have been NO problem.

[Kickass Conservative]

All they would need to do is tie an old tractor tire to the front of the Locomotive so they wouldn't bend the sheet metal.

[Paladin2]

No cows to catch.

[Kickass Conservative]

Are they Pig Catchers or Dog Catchers?

[Paladin2]

HEY you woodchucks, quit chuckin’ my wood!

[boomop1]

China steals technology then f**** it up.

[PGalt]

No problems with the tracks themselves? They must have used Rearden Steel. /sarcasm
