You'd place your own comfort over other people's safety? ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 06/07/2011 11:37:00 PM
I find that reprehensible, but can only hope the people who drive with you in the car are smart enough to insist you place their safety over your comfort, since you won't do it on your own.

You can't make this stuff up: Helmet law protester dies in crash Dark Knight - 05/07/2011 08:47:14 PM 1033 Views
Kinda undermines his protest *NM* snoopcester - 05/07/2011 09:01:50 PM 303 Views
Just a tad bit *NM* Dark Knight - 05/07/2011 09:06:24 PM 288 Views
How so? He wasn't demanding the right to survive crashes when only a helmet makes that possible. Joel - 05/07/2011 11:06:44 PM 667 Views
New York feels that people should have to wear helmets for their own safety snoopcester - 05/07/2011 11:20:36 PM 635 Views
He felt his own safety was his own concern. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:07:05 AM 564 Views
Who do you think would have ended up paying for his care for the rest of his life if the accident Tashmere - 06/07/2011 01:08:49 AM 727 Views
The same people who pay for everyone else whose actions render them vegetables. Joel - 06/07/2011 01:50:20 AM 843 Views
Maybe a more effective argument you could use against me would be pointing out Tashmere - 06/07/2011 02:33:21 AM 635 Views
Yeah, that is a better example. Joel - 06/07/2011 03:03:01 AM 606 Views
Oops, ignore! *NM* eucatastrophe - 06/07/2011 11:44:10 PM 367 Views
Now, who said irony wasn't funny? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 05/07/2011 09:22:58 PM 425 Views
what a fricking idiot Yunalesca - 05/07/2011 10:02:17 PM 803 Views
That's your opinion to which you're entitled. Joel - 05/07/2011 11:19:36 PM 1058 Views
Anarchy, baby! *NM* Dark Knight - 06/07/2011 12:58:23 AM 523 Views
Sorry, as an advocate of civil rights (which especially includes minorities) I oppose anarchy. Joel - 06/07/2011 01:18:19 AM 723 Views
The public's nose is on the line here too. Tashmere - 06/07/2011 01:47:08 AM 781 Views
So my increased ease of hearing/seeing vehicles and other hazards isn't worth $1200. Joel - 06/07/2011 02:25:53 AM 788 Views
I understand the pov, I had a BF who felt that same way. It's still much like childish defiance. Avendesora - 06/07/2011 01:26:15 AM 961 Views
In part it's a matter of principle, but if we really want to analyze it there's some deeper validity Joel - 06/07/2011 02:13:05 AM 751 Views
you keep spreading falsehoods, stop it please moondog - 06/07/2011 02:49:01 AM 909 Views
Sounds like your real argument is with the other bikers; I'm just reiterating their arguments. Joel - 06/07/2011 03:38:39 AM 842 Views
It's not "much like" childish defiance. It IS. *NM* eucatastrophe - 06/07/2011 11:45:05 PM 476 Views
Uh Joel... ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 03:38:24 AM 670 Views
Agreed, having others in the car does make a difference. Joel - 06/07/2011 03:47:53 AM 744 Views
Hence why your "I wouldn't wear a seatbelt in the back seat" comment didn't make a lot of sense ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 07:38:50 PM 714 Views
Depends on whether the driver, rather than the law, is the one insisting. Joel - 06/07/2011 08:06:24 PM 578 Views
You'd place your own comfort over other people's safety? ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 11:37:00 PM 610 Views
It's more a comfort issue than anything else; it's not solely one. Joel - 06/07/2011 11:56:28 PM 1092 Views
Sorry, but that doesn't make sense ironclad - 06/07/2011 07:02:33 PM 865 Views
Yes it does ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 07:32:54 PM 618 Views
how many people are really seriously injured that way? random thoughts - 06/07/2011 07:15:16 PM 837 Views
Did you actually read my post? ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 07:36:13 PM 750 Views
my ex had 3 cracked ribs from an accident like that moondog - 07/07/2011 02:46:07 AM 774 Views

Hold the phone here... Jeordam - 06/07/2011 07:49:10 PM 1038 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 06/07/2011 08:42:14 PM 366 Views
You agree with him that the abortion debate is about a mothers convenience versus the babys life? Joel - 06/07/2011 10:48:52 PM 742 Views
im not bringing abortion into this, its a separate issue *NM* Yunalesca - 06/07/2011 10:56:17 PM 360 Views
It's really not. Joel - 07/07/2011 12:20:10 AM 769 Views
i'm really not Yunalesca - 07/07/2011 03:34:23 PM 856 Views
Fine as far as it goes, but public/private only matters to the extent others are affected. Joel - 09/07/2011 11:15:33 AM 811 Views
What else could the debate be about? Jeordam - 06/07/2011 10:58:51 PM 695 Views
"The babys life", not just "life". Joel - 07/07/2011 12:18:02 AM 1025 Views
Holding the phone here might be good, yes.... Joel - 06/07/2011 10:33:46 PM 826 Views
See...that's the difference between you and me Jeordam - 06/07/2011 10:56:53 PM 921 Views
Apparently so; "completely anarchy as long as its regulated to one's body" sounds nonsensical to me. Joel - 06/07/2011 11:44:50 PM 902 Views
I think I could make that up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/07/2011 11:41:00 PM 302 Views
Smartass *NM* Dark Knight - 06/07/2011 12:57:22 AM 310 Views
I'm with Joel. I always buckle up/helmet up, but I think such laws are asinine beetnemesis - 06/07/2011 02:30:04 AM 588 Views
why not just ban motorcycles all together, they are much more dangerous than cars random thoughts - 06/07/2011 05:39:51 PM 607 Views
Helmets help save lives. 'Onest. Two Wongs - 07/07/2011 04:40:42 PM 769 Views
So do not smoking, eating right and regular exercise, but we haven't made them mandatory. Joel - 09/07/2011 11:04:58 AM 766 Views
