Click it or Ticket. I should have the freedom not to wear a seatbelt (or motorcycle helmet) if I so choose.

Don't you find it funny that seat belts are mandated, but you can ride a motorcycle with no cage AND no seatbelt. I mean...how does that work?

Thank you. I think of that everytime I see a click or ticket sign. I really hate having to put my helmet on just to go up the street.

Rant of the Day:

-People who've always been skinny giving unsolicited diet advice. No thank you!

that is true it is always skinny people telling others how to lose weight, never thought about but you are correct..

We should be giving them advice on not being sooo skinny. Saw a BEAUTIFUL girl last night that was so skinny it detracted from her looks.

Have you ever had a skinny person say, "Boy I wish I could gain weight!! Why don't you give me some of yours??!"

attendance policies at COLLEGE.....

come on now, if i am paying to go with MY OWN MONEY, and i can still make an B while missing more than 4 or 5 days of class, why should i be penalized by dropping my grade a whole letter?!?!?!! i should be given more credit for doing just as good as the students who are there every day!

As long as I don't have to pay for you ICU stay with my tax dollars, it's okay with me!

The law in most helmet free states is that you are at least 18 and have to carry a certain amount of medical insurance.

However, Kentucky did away with the having to carry insurance after the people fought it. Why?

The state is paying for free methadone for heroin addicts, free abortions and birth control for teenagers, and free births for uninsured mothers. The people fighting it won. You now have to simply be 18.

Also.. we were having Church Bus issues where kids had to be buckled in the seats and child safety seats offered or risk large fines. One small kid for one adult sized seat etc...

BUT on the flip side..

If we used a LONG bed open air pickup truck.. we could put whomever we wanted in the back without any such safety accommodations (except I think over 4 years of age to ride in rear etc). In our farming community.. this is allowed.

Mind Blowing.

I remember being at TC and taking 17 people to Chattanooga in my big pickup truck. Seven were up front with me and 10 in the back. I didn't buckle my seat belt because I thought if we wrecked, I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life in prison.
