ah.... so waste is ok so long as it is within your idea of the right amount?

I would imagine that there are hundreds of way you could cut waste but that might cost you a little and make your life a little harder... I think that until you live a life that is making less carbon than me for instance... you have no right to tell me how to "save the planet".

You are the one that said I was oppossed to alcohol fuel... I told you that I was fine with it but that is just won't work... you need to re-read charon.

If you make me use e85 all you will do is make me spend a weekend tuning up my car to take advantage of your gift and pick up 100 or so cheap HP...

I said thanks and now you are mad. Unless you can punish or be superior you don't want to play.

I think you are either beetle of a clone. If so... your lifestyle is far more polluting and wasteful than mine.

That being the case...you...like algore.. have no right to tell others to live less grandly than you.

OMG i just had to post. For those of us who love to laugh at idiots this thread is pure gold. lazs2 you are a real peice of work and I hope I'm never on the same road as you. You do realize that if you go through a windsheild you become a very heavy projectile moving at a fast speed which endangers anyone whom you may hit, so it is NOT just your safety that your risking by not wearing a seatbelt. Oh and by the way I happen to know a few WOMEN racers who will outdrive you anyday. I just hope you realize the error in your thinking before your flying through the air at 80mph 2 inches above the ground.

I got the point, you actually have to read what he wrote to get it not just browse and cherry pick words and form an opinion. All I can add is one wreck out of ten we think if he had worn his seat belt he wouldn't have been ejected from the car, the other nine a seat belt wouldn't have mattered.. Maybe its not
the majority....Its that one person out of 10 it might save....
Does that make sense?!
I dont know

It should be a matter of choice, not a matter of law. It's just something to make more money with fines. If it stopped making money, they wouldn't have a problem with it being taken out of law.

If you say a normal seatbelt is a torture device, it hints something about your anatomy

McFarland · « **Reply #110 on:** August 06, 2007, 02:22:25 AM »

Yes, he's either tall or short, seatbelts are designed for medium people. Nothing bad about that. Excpet for the seatbelt.

Angus · « **Reply #111 on:** August 06, 2007, 05:40:42 AM »

Could be a belly thing also. Pregnancy belt could solve that

gryphon... sorry but you are full of it.... people don't go "flying out the windshield at 80 mph"

I dare you to find one example of a case where someone was thrown from the car and then the car became a danger because it no longer had a driver... the cases where drivers were ejected the car came to a sudden stop or was rolling.. staying with the car would not help anyone.

as for you "knowing" women race drivers that drive better than me... I kinda doubt that you do. I actually do know a few women who drive race cars and they are pretty good but... they aren't the ones that you let drive you around are they? they aren't your wife or girfriend and they are not the ones you and I are sharing the road with are they?

But thank you for bringing up the old myth about drivers being thrown through the windshield and driverless cars killing millions again... haven't heard that on since the women were trying to get the seat belt law passed

as for my anatomy... little over 6' tall and about 185 lbs... about normal... the seatbelt just digs into my neck on a trip... I like to move around... The lap belts in my hot rods don't hamper me enough to matter but the stupid crossing guard/hall monitor shaped three point does. If you say that it doesn't bother you then it is because you are a liar or you have just never driven on a long trip with and without one to compare.

Like I said... if they weren't uncomfortable then people would have no reason to not wear em...they would use em in cabs... they would put em in old cars...

Hell... if they weren't a pain to wear... you wouldn't even need a law would ya?

If zillions of people were ejected through windshields you wouldn't need a law would ya? People would believe your myth and wear em.

I can't believe how willing you girls are to let big brother tell you what to do and worse... how willing you are to not only give up your freedom but to take others freedom away.... you should be ashamed...

Remember.......only you can prevent HUMAN PROJECTILES.

What a load of happy horses.................well you get the idea.

lazs2 · « **Reply #114 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:40:14 AM »

oh yeah... jackal... it is how myths get started.. it sounds really cool.. and almost like it would work but... unless the car stops real sudden or it spins real fast.. you can't get thrown out... in either of those cases.... you would not be able to control the car after or during such an event... you would be stopped or upside down or dead... seatbelt of no.

The PC.. "women drive just as well as men" crap is just frosting on the cake. I won't even let most men drive me around much less the women these alarmists feel perfectly safe letting drive them around.

and that is the point.. they don't do enough to learn how to drive and are too lazy or PW to not let the women drive em around and so they don't want to be the only wuss on the road in a three point sooooo... they want everyone to be..

At best... they are simply drones who are conned by the myths the alarmists throw at em.

If you are against personal freedom then you are either evil or petty or stupid or selfish or lazy or some combination of all of those things.

Yep. I tell you what is really scary. It`s all the gum injuries in this country from toothbrush bristles. Why hasn`t the government, in their infinite wisdom, came up with a bill requiring air bags on molar rollers?

It's also okay to smoke, - and while it kills more than the drinking, it kills a part of those who have nothing to do with it. I remember you defending the right to smoke anywhere Lazs. Personally I would than have the right to punch any annoying smoke belcher in the face without getting fined

It is always debateable where to draw the line. But debating if there is any "nannying" authority to be at all is another issue.

i got hit by a van while cycling. damn was i glad i had a helmet . He hit me at 70mph from behind . got away with whiplash and cuts . i had paint under my nails for 2 mounths after . my bikes forks (marzocchi) were totaled , my Downhill spec crank arms (practicaly unbreakable ) were broken . my body totaled the left side panels of the van .

but Laz says helmets don't work.

Shuffler · « **Reply #118 on:** August 06, 2007, 04:15:17 PM »

I think those that do not want seatbelts or helmets should be able to do as such. Their insurance should be seperate from those who choose to wear belts and helmets. Nothing wrong with freedom as long as that person is able to bear the cost of such freedom.

I believe this will help thin out the population a bit too. I still think it should be mandatory to have insurance because that is where one person can affect another person's livelyhood.

I'm also all for freedom to the extent of the government not supporting folks. I mean anyone not wanting big brother in their business should mean in any circumstance.

My sister in law, who is a professional horse-trainer just got dumped off a rogue horse the other day. She was wearing a helmet but she got hit hard enough to break the helmet, as well as some ribs etc. It is estimated that without helmet she would have been as good as dead.
(Me bad, never wore a helmet untill recently. First in a certain action where various stuff would rain over you, then as a fisherman at sea, where as working on deck requires a helmet, - mandatory for safety reasons, and proof for it's good is ample)
