Uncle Punk Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just because you are allowed to do something doesnt mean that you should do it. At some point you need to have some common sense in the things you do during your life. If you dont give a shit, then why should I? Hell these guys don't even pay attention to what they are allowed to do. I have seen people involved in this thread double the recommended speeds so I wouldn't bother trying to preach at them. They are just a bunch of entitled brats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Did they bring on any legislation, or just scare companies into putting more warnings in place, or modify their products? Yes those suits and suits like that did bring on new legislation. There are plenty of "protect me from myself" laws out there. I would have though you knew that but feel free to google for them.

Bad324 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 ^^^ Example of the entitlement mentality. I don't think I have any sort of entitlement mentality but its not unreasonable to get angry because people are stupid and don't know how to drive in snow without wrecking and causing more of a mess than already at hand. If they would understand the finer points of driving then it would not be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would understand the finer points of driving then it would not be an issueThe only reason I would have for being angry at them would be that their lack of common sense brings on some realy ridiculous legislation. Inconvenviencing me with a mess, not as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them all do that too. They have no right to judge others unless they have not sinned themselves. Bunch of entitled spoiled brats who think the roads are made for them to do whatever they want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Dont get me wrong, Ive done my fair share of stupid things but heres the difference. I'll agree that it was stupid instead of trying to justify it and argue it with others like most are doing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree that it was stupid instead of trying to justify it and argue it with others like most are doing here.I'm not trying to justify it, I agree that it's not the smartest thing to do, I just don't see where a vespa (even out of control, laid down, etc) is such a huge danger to everyone on the roads. I'd think that this guy is more likely to be killed than the "antics" that many of us participate in through the summer on our bikes. Dangerous to himself, yes. Dangerous to others, not so much.

Uncle Punk Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Casey does it, its skill I do it and I'm an idiot. I'm sure people who get passed in southern Ohio by them damn sport bikes think they are idiots, but they think they are under control. Unless you can post video of scooter boy losing control his level of idiot must be outside of your level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to discuss that we will need a whole new thread for "Professional Idiots" and I will be running for president.(Good as can be expected and will have swelling for a year.
