how old are you?
how old do you think i am? dont hold the fact that i said daddy for the first time in my life against me!
how old are you?
Don't get me wrong.... The daddy part is nothing I would hold against you.... It's the haha at the end that impliest bragging that your dad pays for it.
I would love if my dad payed my insurance.... 7k a year I wouldn't have to pay..... I'd welcome it. But, unfortunatly I grew up and became responsible for my own bills.
sure it does. that is my problem with these morons doing this. it gets in the news. it portrays the repsonsible riders badly. they dont look at that . we are all lumpesd in together. and unltimatley if you want to continue riding you better start caring. these guys and gals will get us shut down eventually or so regulated that you may as well just get a beater car and ride the gravel backroads. it'll be the same.
...anyway long winded and all that but i guess it could be summarized by saying that these people are forcing thier views upon me, so why shouldnt i force my views upon them by supporting certain laws or legislation. it is better than the alternative. oh boy, here i go again. lol. if the stories would start with, some idiot......blah blah blah, then i wouldnt have a problem and definately wouldnt support a helmet law. ok, seriously i'm done now. anybody need a furnace or air conditioner? lol.
-They should add those breathalizer anaylizers to all power equipment too.
-They should take away ALL guns from everyone but police.
-They should take away your vehicle if you drive with a cell phone.
-They should imprison anyone who spanks their children.
-Bring back prohibition while we are at it.
Does no one want to be responsible for thier own actions any more? Please quit your whining about others actions and pay attention to what you do yourself. I do not need more government in my life. Where will it end? If this is what this group and your "club" advocates, no wonder no one really wants to join it.
Peeps that do stupid things (NO HELMIT) or GET DRUNK and then go QUAD/SLED deserve what they get...NUFF SAID.
I agree! If someone wants to be irresponsible than he/she will just be another example of "natural selection", look at the guy who crossed the firing line ad the shooting range at the west ed, a perfect example of "natural selection"
thanks for making me laugh today. needed it. i'll reply point form as you did.
breath anaylizers- maybe they should. would it affect your quadding adventure. do you like to break the law and drink and drive.
guns- why? does every person that owns a gun get labled a murderer if somebody kills someone with a gun?
cell phones and driving- i think they are going to do this anyway. they probably should.
spanking- i think it is the parents decision. but at the same time within reason. beating a child and calling it spanking doesnt fly. then again the little ***** that smash peoples stuff for fun and get away with it because the parents dont believe in spanking should probably get a beating to even out all the missed spankings. maybe that would smarten them up.
prohibition- sounds good, i dont really drink anyway.:d
people dont want to take responsibilty for thier own actions. look at teh excuses. i didnt know, nobody told me yadda yadda yadda...
as for me quitting "whining". not going to happen. as long as these people speak for me by their acions reflecting badly on the sport that i chose to do i will continue to "whine" about thier actions. and i do watch what i do and look for the consequensces of what i do and how it will reflect on others around me.
weather you like it or not, these people are forcing the government into your life. and possibly to the point of you cant do what you enjoy anymore. oh ya and it wont end. it'll progress into alot worse. not just a helmet law. like i have said before if a helmet law prevents one of these idiots from dieing and making us as a group look bad, i support it. and then if they dont wear a helmet and kill themsleves, they are lawbreakers and hopefully it gets reported properly. as well i support laws in regard to age and size appropriate machines. i have seen way to many parents unable to make sound decisions in regards to what their 10 year old kid can handle. a 750cc modded out quad with a kid driving just doesnt make sense.
actually you know what, if these "accidents" were reported properly and we werent, as a group, being held accountable for somebody else not being able to make the right choice. then i wouldnt support some of the potential laws. natural selection, if they are too stupid to figure it out, let em kill themsleves, hopefully they dont take a good one with them.
as for the AOHVA. i dont speak for them and my thoughts and posts dont nesecarily( wheres the spell check button. lol) reflect the views of the organization. lol. my first legal disclaimer.
but seriously, check them out, talk to the exec. read some literature about them. good bunch of guys/gals dedicating most of thier free time and work time to fighting to keep riding areas open and prevent bad legislation from going through. as well it is the only nationally recognized group to speak on our behalves to the government. so unlike our bitching and whining here, the government actually listens to them. this is why i support them. as for people not wanting to join, i dont think this is the case. most dont know about them and when they find out they normally support what they do, i havent heard otherwise anyway. but heres a challenge to you, talk to them and form your own opinion, dont just base it off some a-hole on a forum(me,lol).
