They got tired of throwing paper wads at each other so decided to take
it out on cyclists. That Manitoba legislature is a freak show and zoo.

"I think it's time to move," Gerrard said. "The fundamental reason is to
protect children."
Gerrard said adults should wear helmets to set a good example for kids.

If that's the case then when are they going to ban cigarette smoking, and
eating at McDonalds?

Actually, personally, I find Subway fare to be
bland and tasteless. No fat == no flavour.

From a health standpoint, I'm not so sure all the
processed meats that go into Subway sandwiches
are much good for anyone. That said, let it be
known that I'm not averse to the occasional baloney
sandwich (on white, iceberg lettuce, mustard on the
baloney side, mayo on the lettuce side, salt &
pepper,) myself. So I'm not out to dis Subway.
In fact ... damn, I forget what I was trying to say.

Anyhow, a lot of hamburber meat comes from poor ol'
"retired" dairy cows who have outlived their capacities
for being forcefully bred, and their farmers' economic
means to keep 'em.

This is getting to sound too much like a "Debbie Downer"
skit from Saturday Night Live, so I'll shuddup now.


Carrot shavings belong in coleslaw.



cheers,
Tom

Touché, OnTwoWheels, that sort of statement "of settiing a good example to children" shows us something about the intelligence (yeah right - lack of intelligence) of the people who come up with that gormless drivel.

We should do such-and-such to set a good example to children - I wanna puke.

Really, doesn't it just show how people who come up with this hypocritical hogwash don't even bother to think about what it means (as a general rule).

So cyclists alone are singled out as having the special responsibility to the children, to set a good example, while for everyone else, does the same apply?

What nauseating nonsense some of these half-brained helmet Hitlers come up with!

I hope you don't describe ALL of life's pleasures (albeit a loose term in
this case) quite so clinically.

I never get the condiments. No mustard, mayonaise, salad dressing, any of
that. But I do get the vegetables: green pepper, olives, lettuce, tomato,
spinach, cucumber -- it's basically a salad with a couple of slices of
turkey, on bread.

I missed a lot of this thread but I like Subway. There really is very
little meat, which is why I like it. Seriously, I feel like Jared,
their advertising character. I lost weight due to having Subway for
lunch over my old choice of a big hero. Less eat, more exercise =
thinner and fitter me.
