Well i don’t really care. I can use the superior mode of transport so why i would not?

Humanity invented engine you don’t need to use legs like a peasant. You can enjoy the fruits of civilisation

For intra-city trips the car is not a superior mode of transport in the Netherlands. Cars take longer, often can't get as close to your destination, and cost a lot more. And you can't even get a few drinks. The only advantage of a car is you won't get wet if it rains.

You know, you could have saved everybody a lot of time if you'd honestly told everyone "but I don't wanna" from the start.

I could but it wouldn’t be as entertaining in my opinion as having a prolonged exchange about such interesting problems and approaches to them.

Do we really owe anyone decrease in our comfort? Is there any reason to do so?

It isn’t a trivial question.

I might have crossed the line from thought provoking to offensive but in my defense it is an easy line to cross
