i hate auto, adding to that i believe that all people should get their licence on manual. it should be mandatory!!!!

Wow... my thoughts exactly!
Lets get something straight up front, JUST 'CUZ YOU DRIVE AN AUTO DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BAD DRIVER! If you concentrate on what you are doing, and have a good sense of what the car is doing, then my distaste of automatics is not directed at you.
My problem is with those normal people who think manuals are too much hassle. TOO MUCH HASSLE? WTF? I focus on my driving. I focus on what my car is doing and keep a close eye on other road users and various hazards on the road so that I can avoid damaging property or causing injury. Changing gears isn't a hassle compared to that. So I wonder if perhaps these people who find driving a manual too much hassle find checking their mirrors too much hassle? Perhaps breaking for that kid running onto the road is too much hassle?
I look at the kinds of normal people who drive autos. They are un-attentive and don't focus on driving. They are more interested in the music they are playing or the conversation than driving their car. Sometimes they are downright scary to be in the car with.
I think putting auto drivers outside their comfort zone would go a great distance to help them appreciate that driving a car is actually a large responsibility, not just something you do to get around.
If they really can't be bothered so much, then they should catch public transport.
Having said that, driving a manual doesn't make you a good driver either. But it does help to focus you on the task at hand. What you do with that is up to you.
I don't think banning automatics is the way to go, but I think reducing the amount of automatics and changing peoples approach to driving would help. A good way to go about this would be to force people to get their licenses in manual cars and reduce the amount of automatic cars sold.
