Ive been doing the ride for 3 years. during that time they have been raising money for spinal damage research.

[Danger]

I've done this one as well, its a good ride. Shame it clashes with the South Head trail ride!:doh:

[civil]

spinal damage research.

Is this still the cause that is supported by the ride this year?

I know it is a good ride but can't bring myself to support an industry that uses and encourges aborted children.

:crazy: Ha ha - my fault.... last year I mistakenly posted that they were grinding up unborn babies to use in experiments, I must have misheard the man from Paeroa Rotary Club...... :whistle:

[kezzafish]

don't they use stuff from umbilical cords for spine damage? some shit like that. Civil, are you a christian? this could be a very interesting ethical discussion. Do you believe that i shouldn't use a starter motor from a corolla at the wreckers yard because it's sacrilege?

Something like that.



Civil, are you a christian?

define christian?


Do you believe that i shouldn't use a starter motor from a corolla at the wreckers yard because it's sacrilege?

depends on what you did to the corolla to get the starter motor. Did you have to steal it to get it?

[kezzafish]

Maybe we shouldn't get into this? i should have said: are you religious? no i wasn't thinking of stealing the starter motor. I believe that doctors have to have permission to use organs from dead people/aborted babies

mmmm..... if its wet its southhead if its dry its Paeroa. unless your like mud then its paeroa whatever. Last year at paeroa I remember everyone getting stuck on a huge hill after it poured down with rain. good fun and losts of river crossings and also some reasonably tight stuff in a 500m blast in the woods.

So it's Ok to buy the corrola starter motor from the chop shop that steals to order, but not if you steal the starter motor from the corrola yourself?

No I'm not religious.

I would just like to know what charity this ride supports, so that I can decide if I want to contribute towards it. Is there anything wrong with wanting to be informed?

civil its a charity ride not a pay and order babies so if u go you will enjoy yourself if you dont go then all that means is they dont get your money so either way its going to be a good ride with or with out you

I am not questioning if the ride is good or not, I would just like to know what "charity" I would be supporting if I did go on this ride.

I know these rides in the past have been used to support an industry that benefits and funds the promotion of killing children that have yet to be born.

I would personally like to know if I am going to contribute and provide funding help towards these deaths happening. I think children are important and these ones are particularly vulnerable to exploitation.

I am surprised that the “charity” that those who go on this ride will be supporting is not promoted. I may be the only one who wants to know what I will be supporting if I go, but I would still like to know.

My point (with the corolla example) you have nothing to do with whether these unborn babies die. Only that you can support people in need by making use of aborted children.

all of the baby stuff aside:girlfight:

what are the track(s) like?
hilly, flat, fast, slow, boggy????

just to clarify they use the stem cells from the umbilical cords because they are the cells that best promote new cell growth

Last year it was all of the above. Just need a little rain again.

Never been to a charity trail ride that didn't support a good cause and this one is pretty relavent me thinks.
