    They shouldn't fence the bridges - they should tear the overpasses down and make tunnels and underpasses under the motorway. Then they'd have to be really detetmined to be able to drop stuff on traffic.

    You are the reason this country is so stuffed up.

    A kid throughs a brick off a bridge and your blaming the dam bridge?? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.

    I move that the governtment buys some large ships that can be controlled by a home base in auckland. Then ship all the dumb/stupid/moron people off to south america. I vote that mcjim be the ships captian. Head of the morons.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Yeah, well, you're gay. Yeah, bitch

    And this country is not stuffed up from idealistic thinking people, it's screwed up by the politicians who want to screw everyone.

    The whole bridge fencing thing is unrealistic. I'd rather see a whole bunch of money going into the health sector than on preventing deaths that hardly occur. How many people have been killed by shit thrown at them off bridges in the last decade anyway?

    Just put up some automated machine guns on the overbridges set to shoot any idiot doing anything silly.

    You would only have to worry about dodging falling bodies for the 1st week until the rest got the idea
    I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    Muwahahaha - cool - one day you'll learn how to spell too!

    You're entitled to your opinion little one - I've read a lot of your other posts - enough to know that your opinion of my opinion means sweet damn all to me. And I've seen the picture of you in the denim mini-skirt too - shave them damned legs boy!

    Your daughter likes them hairy. Says they remind her of you when you used to come home drunk on those cold winter nights.

    But serrioulsy, how can a bridge be at fault? I'd like more tunnels, but im an engineer (in trianing) and tunnels make nice sounds when your on a motorbike!

    I don't think anyone is blaming the bridges per se - and I was just voicing a polarised view because I do that sometimes to encourage rational thought among other people.

    Trouble is the bridges create temptation for some kids and since it's got publicity a lot of other kids think it's cool to do throw stuff at cars - this thread is basically discussing the pros and cons of fencing overpasses to remove that temptation.

    Personally I think you would get more benefit from attacking people's posts and opinions rather than resorting to attacking them personally with abuse. I wouldn't hurl abuse at you but then again I consider you too insignificant to be worth any effort.

    Best of luck with your studies.

    P.S. I don't have a daughter...unless you're referring to your sister after I was climbing all over your mother.

    There used to be an underpass at Papatoetoe but due to glue sniffers and it being used as a retreat for burglers from Otara it was locked...The problem starts with parenting or lack of,after watching Police 10/7 last night it is not hard to see why.

    The father was on the Radio saying there has never been any contact,remorse,yeah,right.

    The teenager who killed a motorist when he threw a piece of concrete from an Auckland motorway overbridge has been sentenced to four years in jail.

    Fifteen-year-old Ngatai Reweti was originally charged with murder for the death of 20-year-old Chris Currie but a jury found him guilty of manslaughter.

    Mr Currie died instantly when the eight kilogram block was dropped from the Princes Street overbridge onto his car on August 19, last year.

    The judge initially set six years as the sentence but took a year off when taking into consideration his age and another year for his early plea and for the remorse he has shown.

    The maximum penalty which can be handed down for manslaughter is life imprisonment.

    Rational thought? Your in the wrong country.

    Tearing down bridges and building expensive tunnels to stop people throughing stuff off them is rational? How about stopping people throwing stuff off them? That makes more sence that you did. Damn scots good for nothings.

    *sigh* read it again and you'll get it. The polarised view is not my own rather a devils advocate position put forward as extremist so people could rationally discuss the issue with another alternative on the table. TLDV8 got the idea and advised of a valid reason why it would be impractical.

    Out of interest - how long did it take you to understand concepts like shear force and bending moments?
