    Yes, on the surface it looks that way. If it were noone would leave school without being able to read or write.

    Remember the saying:

    You can't teach people that don't want to learn.

    And that can make things worse than they already are.

    When some people hear the words "you're a fucking cock" often enough it often leads to them them sitting down one day and wondering why people are always saying it. Often that leads to a reassessment of their direction.

    (Not me though, of course).

    And with good reason.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    While this is true in some cases it will not always work. Depending on the person on the receiving end it can also lead to a pathological resentment of society in general. Thus leading to exctly the opposite result that was intended.

    Unfortunately many cant fit a camera and record the events leading up to a crash because their insurance company don't want them to admit liability.

    If you reach 1 rider in 10 you will perhaps save a life or two but you won't change the public perception of motorcycling. What you may do is alienate some of the other 9. By all means try and educate but telling someone repeatedly they are a dickhead is seldom a good idea.

    TO be honest, who the fuck cares. Most motorcyclists are ignorant cunts.

    Good man! But you could have made it less stilted by using "you're" instead of "you are".
