    You sound so paranoid about safety I get the feeling you literally live in a suit of bubble-wrap. If they wanted your finger wagging they’d have asked you for it

        And you are talking like people who ride motorcycles have a 100% death toll. Which is demonstrably false.

        I don’t ride them, I’m 29 morbidly obese and have a shit sense of balance. I just can’t stand people who try to spread fear based on personal trauma they experienced instead of being factual about the real dangers of the world.

          Personal trauma?

          What makes you think learning from someone else’s stupid decisions qualifies as trauma? Oh, this must not be a lesson you learned growing up.

          When you see someone do something stupid you go “no, I’m ok”, and your life is better for it.

          You wanna die young, or cripple yourself? Go for it, be my guest. Don’t delude yourself into thinking it isn’t on the table because “not everyone who rides motorcycles dies”.

          Great logic there. Very big brained.

            I don’t. I think someone you care about dying in a motorcycle accident counts as personal trauma.

            When you see someone do something stupid you go “no, I’m ok”, and your life is better for it.

            See, this is what I mean. Motorcycle riding isn’t an inherently stupid thing, or at least no more stupid than driving a car or riding a bike. There is inherent danger in all forms of transportation. I don’t see you railing against the people driving two ton land torpedoes that we call "cars’ and killing people on motorcycles or those who walk.

            Don’t delude yourself into thinking it isn’t on the table because “not everyone who rides motorcycles dies”.

            The only one who suggested it." isn’t on the table" is the strawman in your head

            This is why I said you’ve got some personal trauma. You are insisting you don’t actually care about the safety of someone who you spent time out of your day to yell at for wanting to drive a motorcycle, then call anybody who says you are being excessive childish for not agreeing that motorcycles have a 100% injury and mortality rate and that the person who you supposedly don’t care about is doomed to end up like the teacher who supposedly isn’t a source of personal trauma for you

            Edit to add: I’ll forgive your ad-homenins because it’s clear you need some therapy to overcome the death of that teacher you knew.

              You have brain damage. I don’t know if it’s from the obesity or something else, but I never said my teacher died.

              I said he fucked himself up. Don’t weigh in on shit you don’t understand.

                  No the asshole is the one acting like learning from others mistakes means you live in a safety bubble.
