I am not taunting handicapped people. I am taunting car-centric people for whom riding a bus is exotic and the car-centric society which made it this way.

I am sorry that you are. I didn't mean to hurt or offend anyone (edit: no, wait, I did... but not you and not the mentally handicapped). However, I still don't see the reason for anyone to be offended by them. Perhaps I could learn something here. If you explain to me why they are offensive, I'll delete them (we should probably do it through PMs since it's getting off-topic).
