Yeah, I had a taxi ride from the airport to the hotel in Rome that rivaled the chase scene in Ronan once. They're not even close to being the world's craziest, though. Just Europe's. Bertie |

... "Mike" wrote in message news:JOZtk.38$jE1.32@trnddc03... What makes you think you're entitled to anything more than contempt? When are you going to prove you're anything more than a villiage idiot? You're not even a pilot. Anthony has more to offer than you. Prove you are, prove I'm not. The proof is writen on a turd deep in your colon. Stick your head in a little farther and you'll find it. I promise. You're just hat dancing Mikey Mouth. Driving while using a cell phone increases you chance of accident by 400 to 500%? What a dumb ass. Hmm, so which sould I believe, the British Medical Journal, the University of Utah, The New England Journal of Medicine, or... the villiage idiot. Decisions, decisions. I'll have to put you up for the Bertie's Dumbest Assed Suckpuppet award. Coming from the villiage idiot, that really hurts. |

Changing the subject there aincha Mikey Mouth. Just like Mx. I never changed the subject. The subject with you has always been how you're a putz unworthy of a response to any of your questions. I've already given you as good as you're ever going to get. Feel free to keep asking ad nausem like a frustrated schoolgirl. The response and the subject will always be the same. |

... In article tNRtk.1134$w51.346@trnddc01, "Mike" wrote: Nobody wants to give up their "right" to drive with a cell phone, ignore speed limits, run stop lights, etc. even though such activity puts other people at risk. "drive with a cell phone" .... ohmygawd. Hey, what about drive with one of those GPS thingies, or changing CDs or scanning thru XM radio or....? Maybe we should require a sterile car so that nothing, absolutely nothing can distract the driver. (yep - this crusade about talking on a cellphone is a hot button for me). Crusade all you want. it isn't my crusade, the crusade against cellphones is being waged by people who don't understand how to analysis risk. Talking on the phone while driving increases risk of having a serious accident by 4-5 times. hmmm, if your claim of a 4-5x time greater risk were true, why hasn't the accident rate increased dramatically during the time period when cellphone usage has exploded? In fact, the accident rate has remained flat or decreased slightly (if we believe the NTHSA) You claim others don't know how to "analysis(sic) risks" and you post this blather? You obviously understand very little about cause and effect. I don't believe NTHSA even tracks total accidents by number. They do track injuries and fatalities which have been on a downward trend for the last 30 years or more for a variety of reasons like safer cars, safer roads, increased seat belt useage, airbags, reduced drunk driving, and a number of other things. The overall trend proves nothing in relationship to cell phones unless you can calculate what the rate WOULD be without cell phones, which has been done. The HCRA does "analysis(sic) risks" and their study speaks for itself. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/fil...l_pho nes.pdf But you prove my point beautifully. You don't understand proofs. Pot/Kettle. People don't really give a rat's arse about being safer if it inconvieniences them, even if the inconvienience is slight. Then why do people wear motorcycle helmets? and leather jackets or equivalent protective clothing when riding? Talk about inconvenience. By "people" I obviously mean people in general. The numbers for seat belt useage didn't rise dramatically until states started requiring them despite the overwealming evidence that they save lives. Drunk driving didn't decrease until punishment and enforcement were increased. There's other examples as well. Now, if you wanted to make the point that people don't care about the inconvenience of OTHERS as long as it appears that they are trying to help them even when there is no actual evidence to support the help being effective.... My point was people don't care whether there is evidence or not. Clearly there's evidence to show cell phones (which was just one example, but there are others) increase risk, but there will always be those who will ignore such evidence because possible solutions may create an inconvienience to themselves. As I said, you proved my point. You won't even bother with a simple google search which a child could perform because it might go against what you've already made up your mind about. |

"Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe" The Sea Hawk @See My Sig.com wrote in message ... Ban homebuilts and Cessna 150's??? What is he thinking? Isn't he concerned about aviation safety? This makes no sense at all. Did Mr. Walker learn NOTHING from 9/11? How could he be so unaware? Isn't the danger presented by large transport aircraft painfully clear? Does he have any concern for public safety at all? Yes, small aircraft are sometimes involved in accidents - but what is the outcome? Beyond the occupants, it exceedingly rare to involve any innocent bystanders at all. But what happens when one of the flying WMDs comes down in a populated area? THOUSANDS DEAD!!! Can you imagine what would happen if a fully loaded 767 were to experience problems and crash in to a crowded casino - spewing 5,000 gallons of jet fuel onto thousands of innocent, unsuspecting people? People that he is supposed to be protecting! How can he, or any of us, live with ourselves knowing that this kind of tragedy isn't just possible, but given time, inevitable? How can he continue to turn a blind eye to this tremendous threat to human life? How can we not DEMAND that these large aircraft be banned from flying over or landing in the vicinity of a populated area? Clearly, at a MINIMUM, any aircraft with a gross weight over 30,000 pound should absolutely forbidden to approach within 50 miles of a populated area. And, I suspect, that if Mr. Walker were to consider this carefully, he would agree that the only way that we can be safe is if large aircraft are banned from the sky completely. We went to war with Iraq over WMDs, why do we ignore the ones flying over our heads every day? Good, very good. You have me convinced. |
