Not to take this in a different direction, but I'm of the opinion that if I am required to wear a seatbelt under the dubious rational that it will "save" my life and reduce medical costs, then helmets should also be required along with full leathers and body armor for motorcycle riders. The stated rational for seatbelts is BS for a number of reasons, but the most important is that seatbelt use is over stated and over reported in vehicle accidents resulting in skewed "safety" statistics. Let's consider the opposite: In the subset consisting of people ejected from their vehicles during an accident, what percentage survive? If I were a betting man, I would say, proportionally, about the same as a motorcycle rider's. However, the more important question is how many major accidents result in ejection? Probably about the same number as high speed motorcycle accidents. FAR more people suffer tramatic brain injury or death from head injuries in cars than on motorcycles. If you aren't wearing a helmet when in a car, you are simply asking for it! I always urge all rightwingers everywhere to ride their motorcycles in as macho a fashion as possible and without helmets or other protective gear, and, whenever possible, to make sure at least one of their fertile family members is on the back seat. Oh. And make sure a handgun is in the saddlebag. Is that directed towards SWF? I think he would be considered a rightwinger? He is definitely right of my political views. While I disagree with many individual's politics and/or religious viewpoints, I know I would wish ill will on them. I am glad you are not reflective of most people I have meet. Nice try, a**hole. No, it is not directed at SW, Eisboch, or any of the other responsible righties here. But nice try. Oh. Whatever your politics, it is directed at you. |

Why are you afraid of calling out SWS and Eisboch when they express the same views as others that you choose to attack because of their same views? But nice try. Oh.
