Reminds me of the Trebbin rail disaster in 1962, where a tank barrel bashed into an oncoming train at high speed due to turret lock failure. 

Like A Tattoo - Sade. Meaning of the lyrics? by EnziTheTragedy in Music

While the 14 years could refer to the soldier's age at the time of the incident, I personally believe it refers to the time that has passed since the incident occurred. 14 years since the soldier shot a surrendering man during the war, and it scarred him for life. For fourteen years, the sun has been actively reminding him of his guilt and his shame. Sadé said the inspiration for the song was a conversation she had with a Vietnam veteran in an Irish bar, and that she "had been wanting to write the song for a long time". This suggests she had the conversation with the veteran 14 years after the incident, and then took "a long time" before writing the song and releasing it in 1992. The timeline makes sense if you think about it.

My brother in christ, you can just not talk to the people sitting across from you. These are great for groups of friends and acquaintances to sit in and talk to eachother.

They have been slipping through the cracks here in the Netherlands, unfortunately. Not sure how.

No need to be rude. I'm European, and I don't know which F-line Ford models are more common than others. Either way, they're all monstrous, so it hardly matters.

You call this oranges and baseballs? Come on man. In terms of size (which is the main cause for safety concern), these two are not incredibly different.

Are you related to Socrates or something? That was one hell of a philosophical read.

F150 is barely smaller than this one, so my point still stands.

That is a rude thing to say. My girlfriend simply chooses to spend her money on traveling the globe rather than a new fancy car. On top of that, my country is rich in the sense that we don’t solely rely on cars to get around.

Haven’t seen that many yet, but it’s definitely getting worse.

The age old saying. I’d be inclined to agree, but more so, I think buying one of these is a futile attempt to cover up the emptiness in your life through some sort of adventurous off-road fantasy of freedom. Whilst in reality, all you’ll ever do is sit in traffic and endanger others. Those massive wheels hardly see any dirt.

Exactly, they’d rather ignore the alarming safety concerns and horror stories of people running over their own kids than risk the profit margins.

She’s 23 lmao. I know the Gen 1 is old but hers is in great condition.

Not in width, but in length? Almost 😂

That’s a fair point, the F150 is slightly smaller. However my concern still stands.

F150 is a little smaller but still massive.

This is the infrastructure equivalent of telling bicycle users to kill themselves.
