Brainless Broads Babbling Bullshit!

[FJRider]

I hope you aren't referring to my small inside leg measurement..........or my homosexuality!

I have not referred to either in the past. Nor will I (intend to) do so in future. You however ... are free to refer to both as often as you like.

I've said too much already............

We need more warning stickers on everything.
Warning stickers and signs.

Too many stickers and warning signs will cause anxiety and related mental health issues.

Ban everything.

I get accused of that too ...

We need to reverse the PC trend. We can't afford the ever accelerating cost of compliance with escalating number of regulations and restrictions that are born from a drive for more and more political/societal correctness, and which are often of questionable cost benefit and which often caters for infrequently (in the big picture) occurring scenarios.

We can't afford to be world PC leaders. NZ is the second highest consumer of lawyers services ($ per capita) in the world (the US in #1). Why? Is it because the government either directly or indirectly employs (or subsidises the cost of) over half of NZ's lawyer fees?

You've put some thought into this haven't you?

More regulations wouldn't have prevented this incident happening.
It looks like idiocy, which we've all done and people will always do.

That's right. We should look at it, say 'dumbass' or 'bugger', shrug and move on, rather than spending money making, enforcing and complying with more and more rules tailored for a small percentage of dumbass's or rarely occurring events. If a victim looks to need a hand, let the people he works,plays,lives with or among decide if they want to chip in a few $ to help him/her out. Stop increasing the spending of our hard earned ill afforded taxes on building and running an ever more and more comprehensive and unprofitable, insurance scheme/safety net service through expensive regulatory control. The machine is outta control.

Trouble is, the Govt picks up the tab when idiocy strikes and people get hurt.

And they don't like doing that, they don't want to pay.

So some brain-box somewhere trys to figure out ways to stop this idiocy.

It won't work, his raw material is homo sapiens, chock full of idiocy.

You can't do anything for the piss heads, I see Darwin missed an opportunity here. But you could do something for the farmers. The family run a few animals on a hilly farm in Clutha and they don't allow quads because too many farmers cripple and kill themselves on them. Get a Suzuki Carry. More loadspace so dead sheep or spray gear no problem, complete weather protection and a radio and if the going gets tricky there is a door, a roof and a seatbelt that might just stop you falling out and getting rolled on and then waiting for 24 hours upside down in a gully before your life finally drains away from you.

You do look fucking stupid driving one but on the plus side you can take it down to Liquorland to get a crate and not get too many looks. And paddle tyres are great for donuts.

And if you do want to get on the razz you can get four in the front and at least 12 and a BBQ in the back. Apparently.

The road to Hell is paved with none enforceable and obsolete rules, lets just make some more!

Problem is, legislating for idiocy only enables it, then you have to legislate some more!

Apparently, back home (CHB) they have spotters driving round looking for farmers on quadbikes (or two wheelers I guess) not wearing helmets and giving fines; which is weird cos I thought most serious quad bike injuries were spinal?

Health and saftey....I mean moron protection summed up here

There's a real danger some well meaning "bright spark" will eventually come up with an IQ-ometer for testing drivers.

Then shortly after, there will be only robot controlled vehicles available...
