Do you have any idea how hypocritical you sound?
On an MX board making statements how you should be able to make decisions for someone else.
The Philly Wheelie Boys get on Dirt Bikes, abuse the law, endanger themselves and other "innocents" ......
There are folks on this board who's lives have been altered permanently by Dirt Bikes...Think paralysis and death.
Your own recklessness on a Dirt Bike strains the health care system.
To stay consistent with your view on governing, DirtBikes need to be outlawed too. You-know because "the problem is..... too many people abuse them"
Don't need a DirtBike either...
I have not one time said I need to make decisions for anyone. However using that logic is saying we dont need a judicial system! Seriously, who has the right to say you cant go kill your neighbor because he pissed you off?
And the Philly Wheelie boys would get arrested for their antics if caught having their fun on public streets so how is that analogy helping your argument?
And it is tragic about the deaths and paralysis of riders but those riders took that risk upon themselves and werent the innocent victim of some one just out to get a high for the hell of it. We all take that risk on and while still a tragedy we couldnt blame another person for it unless it was out of negligence of some sort and not just a riding incident.
My recklessness and injuries havent strained any part of the health care system because I work for a living and pay for my own health insurance......no one is paying for my way.
My view on governing has little to do with abuse. And you misquoted me. "The problem is too many people abuse it and make it bad for all of those who can handle it responsibly." Huge difference. Obviously my statement says that there are responsible people using. My view on mind altering substances that cause harm to innocent victims is no different than 48 states and the federal governments. You arent going to find a reliable study that shows the truth about this topic. They are all objective, at least any I could find.
And the HUGE difference between our passion for riding dirt bikes and pot ???
Mind altering substance.......dirt bikes are not.
Im sure there are far far fewer innocent victims of dirt bikes than pot.
I can be certain that no one was killed in an attempt to transport my dirt bike from Japan to the USA
I know the DEA isnt after the importers of my bike
I know by purchasing my dirt bike Im not funding terrorists nor drug dealers selling to kids
