There are quite a few car simulation programs out there, although I don't
think any of them are published by Microsoft.

Do you think anybody here cares about such an observation? Are
newsgroups your only social life?

You cared enough to reply.

See above.

Got me there. I really don't care about social misfits. In real face-
to-face interaction, very few would punch you out. Only your dog would
ever associate with you again.

But here you are.

Some people readily become violent when they are frustrated, and they are
easily frustrated.

Ever considered it might be you?

No. I'm completely non-violent.

That you are non-violent is irrelevant.

Let me SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU. Ever considered it might be you - that is
frustrating to others around you?

You should.

Please don't cut out pertinent quoted text when replying.

Quote: "Cars are more dangerous than airplanes."

Depends. A light airplane flown by a private pilot is about
four times more dangerous than a car, which isn't that bad, really,
considering that most of us spend very little time in light airplanes
and never have serious car accidents. A Commercially-rated pilot in a
properly-maintained light airplane presents about the same risk as a
car. An airliner flown by an ATR (or Canadian ATPL) is about 11 times
safer than a car.
So saying that flying is safer than driving is like
saying that dogs are friendly animals. It depends on the airplane type
and on who's operating it. The training and skill levels and company
safety policies probably have the biggest effect, and the redundant
systems of the airliner make it safer.
Those numbers come from an article I read about 20 years
ago. They likely haven't changed a lot. They SHOULD challenge the
Private pilot to study and improve his skills and knowledge. If he can
reach the same levels as a Commercial pilot (not such a big deal), he
improves his chances four times. Some people obsess about reducing
their chances of getting cancer, so they'll eat better and quit
smoking to cut their risks by 25 or 50%, but the average PPL isn't
aware of (or ignores) a chance to cut his flying risk by 75%.

You could simulate violence in a video game.
