Default ATVs, Lawyers, and stupid ones

Do you want to be protected from their own stupidity? That's what
the people who sue ATV manufacturers and petition the Government
to penalize/ban/restrict ATV design and activities want. It isn't too hard
to spot the stupid ones; no helmets, underage children sitting in their
laps, allowing their under-16 kids riding their ATVs, riding off the
designated trails, etc. Half the population is below average intelligence
(look up "average"), but the really stupid ones (probably 10%) really
hurt the rest of us in terms of prices (legal fees on our products) and
riding area restrictions. End of rant.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Can't argue with that, but evertime I refer to that dumb as a rock general public on this site I get flamed.

Perhaps the persons flaming you have a strong resemblance or affiliation to the rocks you are defaming. Consider using "as a box of hammers" and see if you get a different reaction. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Then I'd probably get double flamed, the reference to general public ignorance and blind patriotism because the US no longer makes hammers.

Umm Unless the geographical situation has changed since I was in the third or fourth grades Oregon isn't part of "bama (sic)". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Course I could be wrong since it's been over half a century. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

On this forum that's a somewhat unfortunate common definition; whatever is contrary to consideration for others not of a like mind is ATV usage.
