PA State Helmet Enforcement

[Jared]

Ohhhhhh no Yama.... No religous or political discussions... no way no how...heheheheh...

For the record I'm for lack of a better word an atheist. I think the word atheist still acknowledges an existence of  a "god" by denial. There's  just nothing  as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know what's right for anyone else but myself...please don't feel compelled to "save" me...I'm not trying to convince anyone else to agree with me...and that's all I expect from anyone else...

I've noticed that whenever I mention my ...what's the way to say it... When I mention my "belief system" those that have the opposing beliefs feel compelled to try to change mine to theirs.  I can only assume that my "beliefs" must really shake their "faith"  - so they feel compelled to try and change my beliefs to thier belief system so that they can reinforce their shaken "Faith".

But hey this is all just my opinion... And we all know that opinions are like A$$holes....  everybody has one.

Heh.

Like I said to my Father..... "You know I might be wrong and their could be a god (hey I don't know everything..).....and if there is a god....when I see him....I'm gonna kick him in his nuts."

Oh great now we have a religious discussion.....

Anyway thanks for the well wishes Yama....I'm doing ok so far.

im not trying to change your beliefs. i respect your position. ill take what you say as you say it.there are many different faiths beliefs and cultures out there, if i tried to change everyone, that would leave me with no time to actually do it. there are as many beliefs as there are people in this world. and ill stand by and respect yours as well. anyhoo, good luck to you.

Funny, in my experience, people who have no faith or belief, are usually offended when they hear someone speak about theirs. Now im not trying to convince anyone because frankly, you believe what you for a reason. Be it good or bad, i dont judge. BUT...its easier to shake a Faith, then to shake nothing.

Man talk about a topic getting off track....
This one has fallen off the tracks, rolled down a big hill  and landed uspide down in a leech infested swamp.

BTW, the photos are real. CLEARLY that guy LANDED on his head.. sending brains out. you can tell by the other pics. And the squashed face above.

oh BTW.. WARNING. :nana:

Well Rashad-  In my personal experience ..when I've expressed my views/feelings about this stuff - I get the "Oh you're just angry with God" Ie..."I know your mind and heart better than you do.".

To me what it really means is   " If I just explain away/dismiss anybody elses differing beliefs than mine - I can hang onto my faith."

Do I get actually offended... only with the ones that feel compelled to try and change me/my views on religion -I guess they need everyone else around them to believe the same thing.. if the others don't it seems to rattle them for some reason.

Again... You do what's right for you and I'll do what's right for me...


Anyway..... So yes I think we should wear Helmets....

I might wear mine to bed tonight.

... only with the ones that feel compelled to try and change me/my views on religion -I guess they need everyone else around them to believe the same thing.. if the others don't it seems to rattle them for some reason.

The point I believe you are trying to make is that you believe your faith (or lack of one) is a good way to be and that perhaps it might also be a good way for others to be- if you think you are onto a good thing, why not share it with others.  This is only being generous-spirited.  Those who seem to be trying to "convert" or "save" you are behaving in exactly the same way- they believe they have something good and want you to share the benefits.  If you don't agree, don't be offended at someone for wanting to give you what they see as help.  Just say no thanks and part amiably.

I say, what the heck, repeal the helmet laws.  In my opinion, helmet laws interfere with the process of natural selection, allowing dumbasses to survive! :nana:

Continuing the topic,

the last pic posted is possible wearing a half-helm as welll...a few summers ago, a guy flying on some back roads at night in my home town lost it in the beginning of an 'S' bend.  His bike went before him and flew over the guard rail bending it down somewhat.  His body slide under the guard rail, while his head, after hitting the rail so damn hard, pushed back the beanie helm and decapitated his head from mid forehead back.........courtesy of the West Deer FD, first on the scene.

Man, you just never know what's gonna happen.  Better to be prepared then dumb when the odds are in your favor.

[Jared]

Well Michael as I said more than once so Far....I only know what's right for me and I don't/wont pretend to know what's right for you - so I'm not trying to convert anyone. I usually just change the subject when people start a religion topic...but once in a great while I jump in.....

Put it this way I'm not one of the guys going door to door trying to "unspread the gospel"....heheheh...that's funny.

I understand that part of their motives are good- I'm sure they get some kind of comfort out of believing what they believe and want to share it. It's also a way of reinforcing your  "faith".  Hey if those other million people believe it...then it must be real/the truth.

ANYWAY.... To quote Ozzy Osbourne...

"I don't want to change the world....and I don't want the world to change me."



Man my foot hurts.... you should see the dead horse now....

[snapper]

I'll tell ya whats good for me... a good fitting full face helmet...driving like a smart person... and NOT being an EMT or emergency worker...
Icky icky icky!
