1/2 an Inch is always a big advantage.

It is straight forward, this is my point to you. There is a direct financial impost on the taxpayer for the use of emergency services, hospitals, courts, correctional facilities, increases in both health and insurance premiums and the funding of halfway houses to name but a few. This does not even go into the indirect costs associated with people taking capacity out of the emergency and life saving services I.E. old betty dies of a heart attack because all the Ambos were busy looking after people getting #shrekt at Stereosonic. You can argue you're not like that, that drugs can be used safely by some, perhaps they can but when have we ever made the rules for the minority? The argument regarding smoking and drinking is often brought up, this only really conflates the issue of illicit drug use with more normal activities. The bottom line is that the Government is able (Particularly with smoking) to recoup some of the direct and indirect costs through increased taxation and excise (That's why a packet of Marlboro is $5.65 in the US and $30+ AUD here) I know from reading your posts that you're a smart enough guy to see the underlying selfishness in what you're arguing, I'm not being a dick I just don't think you're seeing the full picture.

I've just heard the same argument regarding using drugs with no answer to the obvious (and repeatedly stated) issue of the unavoidable impact upon society, even speaking only financially. 99% of the people in this thread are speaking about recreational drug use, so the old medicinal use argument won't hold water. I happen to believe in personal freedom as long as it doesn't impinge upon anyone else as it mirrors my own views on firearm ownership, something that is important to me. No one in this thread has been able to demonstrate the benefits of recreational drug use outside of anecdotal references like "I'm too happy on MDMA to get into fights"

I guess you could argue that for every 9/10 people who have a non negative experience, there is the one polesmoker that has an issue and has to be dealt with through the Emergency services which we all pay for. Not to mention taking capacity away from a system which is primarily designed for people who get sick or need protecting through no fault of their own. I.E. Yes it's self serving and f**king selfish.

Being a Pharmacist it would be easy to understand how most of his experience would be negative wouldn't you think. The death penalty is the only way forward here.

Building engines probably isn't Renault's problem, it's the associated ERS and "Power Unit" rubbish that teams struggle with. If the regulations were changed to allow more conventional type engines, fans would enjoy it more and the complexity of design and fabrication would be a lot lower therefore making the units cheaper. No brainer really.

Definitely to invested.. haha.

Engine homologation has, is and always will be, shit.

Looks like another year of...

Homologation and reduction in testing and modification has never and will never produce the desired outcomes of reduced cost and increased parity, it simply "locks in" the current performance disparity.
