askmrjesus at 1:03 PM June 22, 2011 Dear Mr. Curran,
If you are truly interested in public safety, one would think you would be more focused on the leading cause of death in this country: Obesity.
Now Hugh, I've seen your photo, and lets face it, you're a fatty pants. Your cholesterol level is much more likely to end up costing the public money, than all motorcyclists combined. We are, you see, a very small minority in the US, whereas as you, and your doughnut loving friends, are bankrupting the healthcare system, simply because you don't have the discipline to pass up a Baskin Robins every once in a while.
Of course, that also explains your problem with motorcycles. It's hard to stuff a Whopper into your saggy jowls, while riding one.
The solution seems clear: It's time to ban fat people. Specifically, fat people with online degrees in "journalism", who write articles that are meant to create controversy, rather than be of any informative value.
But wait, that would infringe on your right to stuff your face behind the wheel, while not paying attention to the road, and that, of course, is what America is all about; the freedom from personal responsibility.
I'll cut this short. It's close to lunch time, and I know the KFC down the street from your little cubby hole, has an all you can eat deal this week.
Bon Appetite.
JC
probably 90% of my near crashes were caused by cars and shitty drivers, not by my own accord.
i bet that 72/100,000 would drop to 10/100,000 if we banned cars.
I am all for riding, but what holds me back are all the shitty drivers all over the world.
i see the comments still. is LM filtering you?
i see no comments either
strike that, 2nd load = 43 comments
Skewing statistics to make it seem like you have a point? NOOO!!!!! What is the world coming too!?!?i kind of understand where he's coming from with the safety aspect. i dont think he's trying to imply that bike CAUSE more accidents, but rather when involved in an accident, you are 5-6 times more likely to die, which i can agree with. it seems a lot of people are just nerd raging and taking it the wrong way.
the statistics are retarded though. he should just say that .014% of automobile drivers died in accidents and .072% of bike riders died in accidents. this is hardly "distressing". and i bet his emissions statistics are skewed too, he says bikes produce 10-20 times the NOx, im willing to bet thats on a percentage or volumetric base, and not net.
