His troubles rose from being spoiled by older relatives, and having bought a motorbike when he was about 15.


Geez, my son is 16months old, already has a LT50 and is riding it by himself. So what will that make him.....................I hope a well educated bike rider.

That option is becoming increasingly more appealing. I've done it with TV news and I'm sure my quality of life has improved.

SPman - Oh so true.

Once upon a time there was an occupation called "reporter" that consisted of accurately reporting a subject, event, etc with little or no bias. Now it is about reporting an event to sell a newspaper, get people to watch TV news, etc. Price of progress I guess.

Yea mike, it's a bit ironic that the more information you have = the easier it is you get duped. Because, due to the availability of more "information" you are led to believe they are true, while they are actually a propagation of 1 source (normally).

One false source and good publication = very good lie and a dumbstruck society.

For example......umm......weapon of mass destruction sorry guys, i couldn't help it....

It's hard nowadays to tell which one is NEWSpaper and which one is Gossip-newspaper.

Actualy I stay away from nearly all information - don't watch the news or read newspapers,my radio at work is on Cool Blue - they don't have DJs adds or news...I don't know what the hell is going on.But I have the Herald as my home page just to grab some headlines when I start my computer in the morning.

I'm happy to see most of the responses to be anti news spin.

I would not read too much of what the mother said. I actually feel a bit sorry for her. Can not be much fun knowing that your child has killed four road users. When things go wrong we all tend to blame someone or something else. In this case its the bike and the reli's. Let's not put in the boot when the she is down.

Skyryder

well he is 41. some countries would hold the parents responsible. here in godzone the state will have to take that role. this clown would be a great candidate for preventative detention.

I spent 3 years on a project that for 3 months each year it got very heavy (all negative) media coverage (like 6pm news and front page stuff at least once a week). After hearing and reading quotes from "reliable" sources I now have a very dimm view of what is printed and broadcast on the news. A lot of it was taken out of context to make it sound worse than it really was and some of it was just wrong. This also told us we had staff feeding some of this stuff out when a manager was asked for comment about a problem before we'd even had a chance to talk to her (about 1 hour elapsed time).

Even when I contributed to putting a fraud case forward (provided an audit of fraudulant data) to convict a work colleague the report that appeared the the paper after the conviction had at least 5 mistakes in the details of what he'd done.

You worked on INCIS??

You worked on INCIS??

Nope. IT side went better than INCIS but public perception was probably a lot worse.

Sounds like a tale from the Department of Sexual Warfare...

[matthewt]

no such department. Maybe you mean the Department of Sexual Development. Now there's a place I'd rather of spent the last 6 years !!

But yes you're right it was a DSW/WINZ/DWI/MSD system.

[Wenier]

No the article is right! i mean look at me i own a motorbike and have already killed 4 people and im 19, least im on my way to success!

[Big Dog]

Might have to put me a holder for an axe on me bike.

Every murder that ever lived breathed air, ate food, and cosumed fluids. Should we ban all of the above activities?

Surley there is more evidence of a relationship?

It doesn't even say he still rode.

I bet he still eats, drinks & sleeps (however fitfully.)

Then again this is exactly why I won't waste $1.20 on a paper.
Often unfounded always obsolete by the time its published and then you have to work out how to dispose of it.
