I wouldn't be so sure about that. It won't be long until you're allowed to bring them aboard an aircraft.

You were correct in the first instance. I was not totally serious. but thank you for the kind words that followed. Good to see how you deal with opinions that you perceive differ from your own. And it is great that you can call people these kind of names and hide behind your anoyminity.

You have a point. There's already a court ruling allowing them in schools. Lunacy prevails in this strange place called Canada.

Some religious groups think that the law of the land does not apply to them .
Look at the perverts in Bountiful B.C. .Dirty old men with twenty wives marrying young girls .A young woman needs a fit young man to be happy .Not some filthy old pervert breeding her like the cows in the field .
Who told these cults that the laws of this land does not apply to them ???

Christianity is not exempt from the radical mindset, there are lots of zelots that call themselves Christians who are just as scary as any other group of radicals.

After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

A couple of summers ago the wife and I visited two of their places of worship, Auchswitz and Birkenau.

Both places were rather sobering not to mention sickening.

After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.

Because the rider in question feels the helmet law conflicts with his right to religious freedom. Its not much different than the laws that govern opening stores on Sunday or Christmas.

You are confusing mormonism (or it's offshoot as practiced in Bountiful) with Christianity. Mormonism is an anti Christian cult just as is JWism, 7th day adventist etc., these are anything but Christian. They do like to parade as being Christian, but that is a complete and total ruse. One of the basic tenets of mormonism etc. is salvation by works, that is counter to true Christian belief and just as bad as any form of satanism being practiced, because it is all a deception.

Calling a spade a spade, sorry if you don't like it.

If those descriptive words don't describe you, then don't type what you did, it's pretty simple. Oh, and a lot of people on this site know who I am, it's really not that hard to figure out.

By the way, those are not "names" I was calling you, they were simply descriptive terms that apply to what YOU wrote. There is FAR too much ignorance and intolerance displayed on Avcanada, in many areas we "discuss," and I won't sit here and read those things without responding in kind. I'm sorry if you have a problem with that, but may I suggest you be a little more careful about what comes off your keyboard in the future, as we can only respond to what's written here and intent is often hard to separate from text.

Let me see if I understand this correctly. If you misinterpreted what I wrote, the fault lies entirely with me and completely justifies your using words like ignorant,...Wrong! Read your original post again. Those words were directed at me personally.
Your response was the kind one would expect from a school yard bully. But, as you are a moderator, and I assume, can be expected to be an example of how to handle dissenting opinions (correctly perceived, or not), I have little choice but to accept your verbal abuse or remove myself from this website.

First off, me being a Mod has ZERO to do with posting as long as the rules are followed - please re-read them.

Second. I didn't misinterpret anything - YOU WROTE IT.... What on earth is the matter with you??? Of course they were directed at you personally - You wrote it. If you're using a Phantom Author, please let me know and I'll re-direct my comments.

You're the one who has to go back into his/her post and edit in an explanation of what you wrote, then you have the gall to tell me I "misinterpreted" something? Can you see how fatally flawed your argument is?

I held you responsible for a completely juvenile and quite frankly ignorant post. Yes, busted. Guilty as charged.

My "verbal abuse?" Are you joking? You post what you did, you get called on it, and you're feelings are hurt? Not quite sure I follow.... You should try being Nark or Bob S, or Cat, or Hedely for a day...!

When any of us write something here, we should take responsibility for it. I stand behind everything I write on this site, perhaps you should take some responsibility for what you contribute in the future. When you post things like this:

"I have never seen anything but anedotal evidence that claims they(Helmets) actually make a difference. Most motorcycle accidents involve knees, hands, and the spinal cord. It is another case where the liberal thinkers make a motherhood claim that "helmets prevent injuries" and no one can really argue with them"


Expect to be called out.
