Never Go Greyhound (sad)

[Mecha Cow]

I would certainly hope so. That still doesn't make it appropriate or acceptable.

That wasn't cool at all, Rob. Racism like that will not be tolerated here, even if it was a joke.

I've never met an Asian I didn't like, even the one who kicked my ass in grade school.

If you wanna see some real anti-Asian racism, go watch the 1940's Batman serials....

Wozzers, this makes the "Cap says, 'Slap a Jap!'" stuff look tame.

If you want a discussion about Greyhound and it's service, bring it on. I know my business. (jus teasin!)

I'm not sure why greyhound has anything to do with it. By the same logic you could say all buses are a low end form of transportation (lower end than an airplane). You could also say never go on a train or a subway. I'm not sure what the problem with the bus company is.

Or watch Reno 911. I never got why all my Asian friends for the most part hated that show until I rewatched it.

OK, I was a bit of a jerk with that one. Apologies to everyone who found it personally offending, although it was supposed to sound ridiculous enough not to be taken seriously.

I'm just an attention whore lately.

QFT. Are there any bus companies where they check people so carefully like they'd do at the airports?

Intercity buses are a lower end of getting around. Anybody who's anybody can get a ticket and get on. One of the reasons is cos the 'Hound failed to move their stations away from locations at one time were beautiful, once run down (downtown LA for example) it attracts the less desirable crowd.
If they grew with the newer neighborhoods, closing the ones in the run down areas and building new ones, it could have been better. They are trying to improve their image in the past few years with new paint schemes (the big dog on the side is new) and new interiors, new coaches, but the stations attract questionable clientele.

Air is the way to go today, if you got money why go on the bus?

(im not including privately owned charter coaches cos that is a private service.)

A guy in my office building regularly takes the bus or train for work. We were talking today about this incident, and he told me he once witnessed a man on a bus try to garrote a woman with a piano wire. Apparently the dude was off his meds and hearing voices.
