I've been suggesting a clean-up of this board for years... Maybe I will even start posting here again.

« on: June 29, 2011, 08:07:08 PM »Tore the front off?!? Are you telling me 10 ft would have avoided that accident.. 5 ft.... 3ft? 10 mph would have accomplished that and there would have been no accident. If the impact was as little as a few feet into the hood then this accident could have been avoided simply by letting off the gas and covering the brake as you approach the intersection. at 50 mph you travel 73 ft/sec, It takes a half a second to get your foot from the gas to the brake. That's 36.5 ft of braking distance you can save merely by covering the brake at intersections. Far more than enough to have avoided that accident. It's a very doable thing.
Bingo. I just spent the last two years teaching my 17 y.o. to drive and I tried to teach him ALL the tricks I know (lane choice is a good example and even "riding the line" farthest from your closest threat). Even after driving for 44 years, I'm always looking for ways to avoid the idiots on the road (I call it "the lowest common denominator factor). When my son was 15 and driving on his permit with me in the passenger seat of my pickup he was t-boned by another H.S. student at an intersection. After I cooled down and made sure no one was hurt and after the police were gone, I used that experience to teach him what he should have done to avoid the accident. I saw the other car way before he did and I would have been able to avoid the accident because of physics and the way idiots drive. This is something that you gain through experience, but I tried to instruct him so that he can avoid a future accident.
And, no, I don't drive like an old man. I'm usually doing at least 10 over and I run every stop sign in sight unless there's a danger in doing so... (including ticket danger

Seat belts greatly increase your chances of survival, especially in a modern car with ABS braking and proper crumple zones. All the aspects of safety in the car are designed to protect the human who is expected to be exactly where the seat belt keeps them. But used improperly, fitted improperly, or in just the wrong accident, the seat belt ensures your death.
This is why you should wear them. Despite the random horseshit that Gene has mathematically tried to shoehorn into his gobbledygook, the fact is, we are most likely traveling in vehicles with modern airbags. They deploy from many different spots. All are essentially ineffective if the passenger is not restrained into a position where the airbags are designed to protect.
There is always gonna be random stories of people who were thrown clear of a wreck. I had it happen myself. A seatbelt woulda killed me in one occasion.
In other occasions, they restrained me to the proper position where the airbags were effective and worked properly.
People who speak of driving "safely" have no fucking clue what they're talking about. The biggest menace on the road is the other person, which you have no control over.
There are always gonna be situations beyond the scope of preventable harm. The car looks like a mangled piece of fuck. Those arguments do not belong in the decision-making process.
"in one occasion" ... "in other occasions" ... have you thought that maybe you might want to quit driving before your luck runs out??? (Oh, yes, I'm SURE they were all the other guy's fault
)

I wore my seat belts since 1969 until the passed a law. Then for principal I said "no more". That was maybe 20 years ago and I've had a lot of time to think about this "seat belt" safety issue. I've concluded that seat belts are not that big of a deal. The reason for my conclusion is that in order for a seat belt to provide you with ANY benefit, you have to first get into an accident of sufficient velocity for it to prevent injury. You also have to rule out all accidents where the seat belt itself will injure you (fire, drowning, and the occasional seat belt trauma). I've been driving since 1967 and I've never been in an accident where seat belts would have prevented injury. I know that this is not the case for many others out there who cannot drive defensively and get into accidents on a regular basis (you know who you are...) but even so if you run the numbers, you have to decide whether you want to use them or not.
Take the likelihood that you will be in a major accident and divide that by the percentage of time that seat belts are actually effective and you have a very slim chance of seat belts actually saving you from injury.
This said, I make my 17 y.o. wear his seat belt. I also put on my seat belt when I see one of the gang of thugs who might ticket me (never been ticketed yet).

« on: June 21, 2011, 12:24:05 PM »Actually he was commenting on a joke about picking on Seamus again since it wasn't him that burned. Still sounds like preachy bullshit but it wasn't about the human B-B-Q.
+1 for paying attention. It's nice to know someone around here can follow a comment.

« on: June 21, 2011, 12:15:43 PM »IIRC in Seamus' prior P411 calls he complained (a lot) that he didn't have a car
guess its safe to go back to making fun of the guy since it wasnt him:P
Ya, sounds like par for the thinking here. You people don't understand that there are weak minds out there that can be pushed over the edge by your tendency towards verbal abuse. People here are like a bunch of kids in the playground making fun of the fat kid in glasses. Who knows what has happened to the many past posters here that have been driven off by the BS that passes for chatter here? Sure, free speech and all that. I would be the last one to limit your speech, but I hope some of you start to wise up.
are you fucking kidding me?
listen, jackass (theres 10 more minutes w/ your therapist)
you are obviously part & parcel of the ''PC'' douchebaggery I & most here despise.
oohhh no........let's not ''offend'' anyone. they might light themselves on fire.
if the construction & progress of this country were left to you & nitwits of your ilk, we'd still be standing around circle-jerking each other off next to our burning wagons, eating our dead.
ever hear of darwin? we can't ALL fit on this spinning ball.........
life's rough.......buckle up, asshole
An excellent example of the vitriolic behavior that goes on here. Maybe some day you could try to make a comment worthy of response...

« on: June 06, 2011, 03:47:34 PM »Like you never trolled Gene, give me a break. (by the way I find snuff photos hundreds of times more discusting then even the most vile voluntarily made porn) These guys seem to want to discuss your favorite subject, so there you go. Tell us how you gel Christianity and anarchy.
Yes, so do I. They are the most vile pictures in the universe which is why I used them to combat the trolling that was out of control on my discussion thread. I'll do it again too, if I deem it necessary. I never use them in an offensive way, but I will use them to fend off an attack... (you conveniently forget the circumstances)...

« on: June 05, 2011, 08:57:37 AM »The fact that I know Johnny should not make a difference IMO. I was not trying to bolster his view point at all, I just answered his question. The reason I came on this forum was because I thought we would get some good discussions of different view points here, which for the most part did not happen.
"Good discussion" is something that is pretty much unheard of here. It's good to post your discussion in the hijack free zone so you can at least delete the worst offenders but really this place has become just a den of trolls. I'm not even going to bother posting my observations on my latest trip to China and Saipan (currently spending my second day in L.A. due to mechanical difficulties). I try to spend my time more productively by taking up conversation with strangers and eventually leading them into a discussion about liberty. Yesterday I talked to an airline pilot and a vacationer while stranded here. Both were very receptive...

Seeing as I'm leaving for China in about 14 hours, I really don't have the time to jump in here but I would like to say something about sock puppeting (as one who has done this years ago :0). . .
Post one side of your argument from your PC and the other from your phone. At least then you get different ip addresses (or use a proxy for one side). So you don't get confused, you should keep each browser open at all times...

I had no idea, but it makes sense. I just used the opportunity to bust on gene and his Skywizard son religion.
Well, you have only become a victor in your own mind... I hope that is sufficient for you...
Victor of what? I am a Deist, I probably believe in a higher power more strongly than you do. Why do Christians have a complete lack of humour when they discuss their beliefs? In my experience people who are truly compatent in what they do don't mind arguments about it.
Victor as far as "busting" me. It's only occurred in your mind. As far as discussion, I never shy away from real discussion (as evidenced in my thread of 6 years). It's people who simply want to be rude or disruptive that bother me and this forum excels in that type of behavior. Maybe you are not one of them, I don't know.
