Are you saying that we do things because we don't take responsibility for it?
No mate.. I am saying that people do things without thinking them through to the end..
That does not make tham idiots or dickheads..
holding a comp licence means nowt except that at some time you will have been travelling somewhere at a fair old rate of knotts, and if you have been trying at all you will have had the occasional off.. Equally, travelling in excess of 100,000 miles on public roads means little if you do it in a bus.. but I did that for several years as a motorbike dispatcher..
Perhaps I would have been better off siting that ?
But you are missing the point a little Pierre..
I am actually NOT saying it is right to wear little or nothing in the way of protective clothing.. What I am saying is that a person, even in this day and age of pathetic knee jerk reactionary doo gooders, still has the right to chose his or her own level of protection..
The reason I sited myself was because I know what experience I have...The person originally mentioned in this thread may have equal or more information than anyone of us.. he may, for all any of us know, be a skin graft surgeon !
I am simply saying that it is basically wrong to say someone is not the
brightest stick in the box without knowing all the facts..
And I stand by my original statement..
Whilst I may not agree with someone, I will stand up for their right to have their own thoughts and ideas. ( providng said thought and ideas do not include causing physical harm or hurt to others by their actions )
