If you can only drive automatics I'm not sure that counts as being able to drive to be honest.

i like driving a stick b/c if I ever get car jacked whilst driving in the inner-city it's unlikely that the would-be jackers will be able to get very far and will thus abandon their malfeasance.

then they get out of the car and beat you into a coma for having a hard to steal car

cops and ambulance take an hour to arrive

permanent brain damage (not that your family or friends notice a difference)

hmmm, i didn't consider that. i guess i assumed that they would be so embarrassed by their failure that they would run away, leaving me to retrieve my vehicle unharmed and only slightly inconvenienced. perhaps i need to reformulate my tactics.

I live in a city with great public transportation and where you can piratically walk wherever you need to go. Some of the perks of living in Europe. Whats not a perk? They're all loving socialist scum.

If you can walk wherever you need to go, what's the point of the public transportation? Also, is walking piratically using a crutch like Long John Silver?

I use my license for ID, and I use public transport to get me to/from the places I need to go.

My manchild former best friend in high school never bothered to even attempt his L's, on the grounds of "What's the point? My parents will drive me everywhere I want."

Thing was, he was completely right, that at 25, his parents are still driving him around everywhere. Not to mention he's never had a job (being completely financed by his parents), and spends most of his time with our old high school's complete criminal arsehole, binge drinking.

He's living the dream, in other words.

If you have license you can always steal a car when you need one.

I guess if you live in a big city that has adequate public transportation and have no aspirations to ever leave there, you could get by without one. Relying on other people being your ride for life any time you want to go somewhere the bus/subway doesn't go would be pretty annoying for me though. Even living in zurich where they have great public transportation that can take me pretty much anywhere I still wish I had a car over here.

If you have a valid medical reason why you can't, fine, but I would think those are pretty rare. I know a lot of people, here in particular, like to blame "anxiety" but like with most things people get anxiety about, it goes away with practice.

I have an uncle who has never had a drivers license or an actual job. He just turned 60 and still lives with my grandma in her basement. So when I meet unemployed licenseless 20-30 year olds I can't help but assume they are going to end up like that guy.

reall though, goon is antonym for normal. look it up in the websters wikipedia dictionary

every single goon here is hosed up, probably fat, pedo, below average iq, insecure, depraved & depressed sadbrain garbage. its really quite amazing i feel like the only normal person, like there's a pane of glass at the zoo between me and teh goons and they solely exist to provide me some rofls at how sad they are i'm definitely normal because i say the n word (not the racist word, normal) a lot abd i don't have any of those problems unlike all the goon :D

This not having a license thing seems to be a hipster millenial thing. My generation you got it the day you turned 16 unless you were too dumb/too bad of a driver to pass the test. How do you even survive without one? The US doesn't have a functioning public transit system in most areas. Hipsters are loving faggots who wear tight pants and can't even drive. Man the gently caress up. Once the manlier older generations die off what are you little faggots going to do?
