    Just what is your point?

    I am saying that we are an unwanted minority, by the Govt.

    That's why I like them.

    What do WRBs have to do with the bigger picture?

    Dear Bogan,
    you are not 'your brother's keeper'

    You presume that a measured and logical arguement will create change.
    Personally I am a behaviourist. Action and CONSEQUENCES.

    Some peoples purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

    If that involves a cheescutter then so be it

    ...No Govt is going to listen to a few motorcycling "weirdos" imploring them to remove WRB's just for their own accident-prone brethren.

    I said what you were saying made you look like a dick, I did not personally abuse you. Dick is a shortened form of Richard, if you call that personal abuse I suggest you need to go and get your head read, really

    A measure a logical argument can also be used to bring other on-side, who can then help with the action. In the bigger picture, too many are serving as warnings, and too few are heeding them. In the smaller WRB picture, you really only need to look at em to realise they should be avoided, hearing about others run ins with them probably won't inspire additional avoidance strategies.

    In Big Rock Candy Mountain land perhaps. Maybe the figures are what they are and therefore correct.

    You make a lovely wish that less people should die

    I view WRB much like I view fences and postboxes and powerpoles and trucks parked on the side of the road and powerboxes and walls and so on

    Only one of those things is installed as a safety device.
