Ironically, trying to knock the chessboard over because the game is not going in your favor is another right wing favorite-- it's kind of obnoxious to dismiss the arguments of others as being only for argument's sake because they disagree with you.
Geez, Tony, talk about weak. Right away go for the jugular and bring up genocide and gluttony through the fast food industry and whether someone is a vegetarian or not. Is it really a "moral" issue for everyone? It ain't for me, I love dead animal products!
Bring up the abortion debate too, why not. Do you know anything about Adriana? Perhaps you should get to know a person and what they've been through before you blithely bring up such ridiculous retorts like the abortion debate to someone expressing their opinion in an off the wall way. I also can't believe Howard labeled her a fascist. I'm one to make complete snap judgements and cast labels but even I wouldn't stoop as far as you two. I thought it was okay to express opinions around here. Perhaps I'm wrong?
Personally, this video drives me nuts and it's far from a cyclists utopia. I wonder what this makes me.

This has to be the most weak reasoning I've ever seen on the chainlink - and we've all seen plenty of weak reasoning here. To make a moral choice because you don't approve of the tactics of a tiny subset of the people who hold a particular position? That is just senseless.
Have you seen the propaganda of the anti-abortion fanatics? Does it drive you to have abortions? Would genocide be ok if the depictions of death camps by those who oppose genocide were gruesome enough?
Well this thread went right to hell...

don't need helmets so much when there's no f*ing cars
Ok, I'm going to take the high road on this one and not be sarcastic.
Andrew, you seriously can't believe that helmets are much less important when cars aren't present, can you? Have you ever watched bike racing? Riders go down in the middle of the pack all the time (and there's nothing around them but other bikes - and they're PROFESSIONAL riders).
What about riding in bad weather? I had my wheels go out from under me on Christmas day heading down to CCM while going over a bridge. No cars were around me, the wet metal bridgework caused my wheels to lose their grip. I didn't even see a car in my lane for 15 seconds after I fell.
I'm not really sure what reality you're living in, but I don't think it's the one the rest of us are living in. Many more things than cars can cause a crash.

Whoa horsey...this bizarre spin has me dizzy
Howard honey,
I completely agree with Tony. Do you or don't you completely agree?
typical right wing/fascist Do you or don't you feel I am exhibiting right wing/fascist behavior? If you do, then yes you did call me a fascist. I never said you completely called me a fascist. excellent reading comprehension everyone!
Honestly, I thought it was funny, which is why I stated...
Did you just call me a fascist and a republican?:p?
This is the reason why I will never become a republican...
and straight from the horses mouth, from that other obnoxious thread...
And here I thought your "you know what I love" on the other thread was directed at me.
I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for my negative attention.
Yes, please do so :p double :p:p

(tip- this medium runs on the printed word, and my words are still there, unedited if anyone would like to read again and see what I actually wrote rather than the bizarre spin Adriana and Craig have put on them.)
