zx3vfr Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Waste of tax payer money. I find the majority of people who don't pay attention to what thy are doing are the mini van SUV driving early to mid 30s mom with babies in the back. BTW if you are over 30 and get knocked up for the first time you don't need a fuciing baby shower or any kind of special attention. And if you are over 35 when you get knocked up you should need to go through mandated psychological screening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 And if you are over 35 when you get knocked up you should need to go through mandated psychological screening. yes, because women who choose to wait to have children are craaaazy!

Casper Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wow. That's not where I thought this thread would go...Did you all miss the part about mandating motorcycle safety and awareness in driver's ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 yes, because women who choose to wait to have children are craaaazy!I know. Making sure you're financially and emotionally stable before bringing a life into this world is completely irresponsible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodninja420 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Can someone please work to legalize lanesplitting (bicycle and motorcycle) and incorporate that into the curriculum as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making sure you're financially and emotionally stable before bringing a life into this world is completely irresponsible.And putting an innocent child at a super high risk for all sorts of fun diseases, then complaining because there is no cure or that your kid has autism, can't function with other kids and the school says don't come back. That's the real irresponsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my reason is being we are granted a birth right of freedom to travel. My problem is when bicyclists use roads for exercise... They are not traveling anywhere, they rarley have a destination other than to bitch when people get to close then run stop signs and pass on the right.

That's the real irresponsibility.What diseases? I mean, there's a higher chance of Down syndrome after thirty, but it's like 0.1%. There's a higher chance of miscarriage, but it's only a 2% higher risk. Never heard the autism one. I've never read anything conclusive about how or why it happens. I think you may have 30s confused with 40s or 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicyclists don't bother me really. If you can't safely pass a bicyclist on the road my general opinion is that you shouldn't have a license in the first placeBut in the fun of being argumentative...forget your link and "unfair".

Most of the distracted drives I see are late teens to early 30 with their attention on their phones, putting on make-up or reading the paper or a book. Your statement about when to have kids is fucking moronic at best. My wife was 37 when we had our first and 39 when we had our second. I was 36 and 38 I wouldn't have had it any other way. I was too selfish and immature to have kids earlier in life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I know you're being cheeky. I just love that argument about usage tax. It's touted by the ignorant.I didn't read it and as we all know I have no dog in this fight but can you give me a quick reasoning of it being igorant?My guess has something to do with wear and tear on the roadway being the reasoning? The simplistic mindset of mine certainly wants to say "share the roadway? Sure, share the damn fees and I'm good with it" Edited October 4, 2014 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they walk on the roads when crossing them, and cost us extra in signs like crosswalk signs, watch for pedestrians signs, school zone signs, etc. Let's not forget how many accidents they cause.

wantahertzdonut Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Can someone please work to legalize lanesplitting (bicycle and motorcycle) and incorporate that into the curriculum as well? Oh my God yes. It's just too bad that so many lawmakers think it's too dangerous for motorcyclists to handle, despite the fact that it goes on in just about every other country in the world and California. California! But I'd be scared to split lines in OH. I am 100% against any form of vehicle registration and driver licensing. However my reason is being we are granted a birth right of freedom to travel. My problem is when bicyclists use roads for exercise... They are not traveling anywhere, they rarley have a destination other than to bitch when people get to close then run stop signs and pass on the right. So what about the motorcyclists that are out for a cruise? I would really love to hear your logic behind this. Most of the distracted drives I see are late teens to early 30 with their attention on their phones, putting on make-up or reading the paper or a book. Your statement about when to have kids is fucking moronic at best. My wife was 37 when we had our first and 39 when we had our second. I was 36 and 38 I wouldn't have had it any other way. I was too selfish and immature to have kids earlier in life. Nobody is paying attention. Teens, 20-somethings, adults, nobody. Every day I rode into work I noticed at least a dozen people texting, and that was only a 14 mile ride on the highway. Who knows how many more there were.

Steve Butters Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 TLDR: road maintenance costs more than people contribute so when others ride bicycles it saves the city money...yet, bicyclists contribute more than they use via taxes from other areas...therefore - bicyclists pay nearly the same tax, yet have less wear on the road or something like that...i quickly glanced the article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
