The irony is that while we wage war in a Middle East country and try to bring it to some form of stability and hundreds of thousands of people are dying, some people have the nerve to complain that they pay $1 more at the pump so they can drive to Blockbuster 
Meanwhile, they support our President who sends hundreds of billions of taxpayers money and literally throw it at Iraq. There's no logic in the process, and no logic in complaining.
If you really take offense to gas prices, then go buy a hybrid car, or lobby to a Congressman to start pushing companies towards more efficient means of transportation.
For 100 dollars, I can take any train in Philadelphia as many times as I want for an entire month. It takes others 1-2 weeks to go through that money at the pump, and that doesn't include wear and tear and maintenance on your car. I wish this country would move away from stubbornness and towards intelligence.

It's not just driving to Blockbuster, you stupid, stupid moron. It also affects driving to work, supermarkets, and other necessary destinations where public transportation is not readily available. Stupid moron, just shut your mouth already! The more the public complains, the more willing Congress is going to do something about it, such as looking into the oil companies, etc. So yes, I'm going to complain.

So long as Europe pays more than we do at the pump, you have no reason to complain!
I don't care if Europe pays 10x more for the price of gas, it is not America! Europe can tax for its gas for as much as it wants, it doesn't affect my living in America. I have the right to complain here. Europeans pay more for gas mostly due to governmental tax, how does that affect me and why can't I complain when I live in America? We, as Americans, can't complain because Europeans pay more for gas due to their taxes? Stupid moron!

basically what he's saying is that if you can afford to drive an S2000, you shouldn't complain about gas price at $4/gal. I'll keep my S2000 b/c I can afford gas at $6/gal. what we are saying is that if gas price affects you that much, do something about it.
I heard they just passed a law for looking into and penalizing oil companies for gouging gas prices. That's just one of the actions. So, complain away!
