4x4s are bad....m'kay....

WTF?

"In their attitudes, city drivers of large 4WDs are morally more conservative and less community orientated than other drivers. They are more likely to dislike homosexuals; among male drivers of 4WDs in the city, 51 per cent believe that homosexuality is immoral compared to 43 per cent of men overall. They also have lower regard for Indigenous culture and are less sympathetic to public and charitable support for disadvantaged people."

Just to clarify, my eye-rolling was at the story, not the apparently homophobic, racist 4x4 drivers....

Unrelated to this - what does 'm'kay' mean? Is this a new Americanism that I need to start looking out for?

and if they went into the country and surveyed all 4WD drivers they would find those figures go up to 100%

Of course they probably only surveyed 15 people and made up the answers anyway. Wonder if it was RAV4 drivers who hated gay people

I imagine that is because they are richer than average, so don't want the government raiding their pockets.

or maybe they see disadvantaged people as jealous lentilists who despise them for their particular vehicular choice?

And I thought that some 4x4 vehicles (Jeep Wrangler) were gay icons?

Just how do homophobic thugs choose their vehicles in the middle of all of this confusion???
