The TT

The more some tosser sitting in a nice warm office tries to stop people
enjoying themselves, including taking risks with possibility of death, the
more those who wish to will finds ways of getting their buzz.

Long live those with the right attitude on the Isle of Man and the sooner it
comes back the UK the better.

Selected highlights from a long article:-

"David Jefferies, killed in 2003, put it succinctly to a reporter.

"No-one is forcing me to go, I'm doing it completely off my own back. I
enjoy doing it. There are so many things in life that you aren't allowed to
do for some pathetic reason that some bloke in a suit has decided because
it's dangerous or some other reason." "

and

"And for motorcycle fans, the TT will remain a symbol of adults being free
to pursue a passion, even at the cost of risking their own lives."

 

Until somoene in the EU teaches bulls to read they'll carry on running I
expect.

 

Pretty good stuff.

You see, you *can* do it when you choose to.

 

Perhaps one day you will learn to emulate.

 

Rip Off Britain!

 

And it'd get kicked out again on court.

Yeah, but it was a BIG fire and that's beside the point anyway because the
spectators didn't light it.

Simple, it gets rid of the thick cunts. Anyone wth an ounce of intelligence
keeps the **** away from Pamploma.

The life insurance company.

The medical insurance company

Actually they do. And for only 8 quid a month.

 

Is that you Zelda?

 

Who decides what is "reckless". Some moron who's spent his whole life
sitting in his comfortable office going home each eving to his comfortable
suburban home with his comfortable suburban wife and his comfortable
suburban armchair, putting on his comfortable suburban slippers and enjoying
a comfortable suburban evening in front of his comfortable suburban
television or someone with the balls to get out in the world?

 

Do you mean that in the emotional or financial sense? Plenty of
mothers get orphaned for all sorts of reasons; the families survive
financially.

Hardly. Most disabled people live in or near poverty, for obvious
reasons.

There's a fairly interesting philosophical point here. You seem to be
saying that State support be limited to 'deserving' cases. So, I
guess that excludes all dangerous sports - motorsport, climbing, hang-
gliding etc. Do you really want to foster a society where such
activities are even more out of the normal than they are now. What
about treatment for smokers and drinkers? Or fat people?

For my money, I'm very pleased that the state doesn't make such
judgement - if you need help (medical, financial, etc), for whatever
reason, you get it.

 

easy. The second one.

 

**** off and go play with your nasty little car.

I ride way too fast to worry about cholestorol.

 

Hah! Don't you believe it.

"We" can't ban it no, and it seems very unlikely that the Manx will want to
ban it.

 

Well hopefully the taxpayer via the state but if not insurances kick
in. I bet the number who die or are injured in sporting accidents is
tiny in comparison to illness and mundane injuries such as falling
down the stairs.

Good, wouldn't want to live in a society where we abandoned people.

It's a good job there's no discrimination against the really dim or
you'd be fucked.

I bet they would, because they already do, my sports insurance covers
me for millions of potential spend if necessary. Lucky for me the only
time I've needed cover I was in the UK where the NHS coughed up.

Bugger. the clapper fell out.

 

By that reasoning, we should ban all adventure sports (caving,
mountaineering, sailing, parachute-jumping) unless the participants can
demonstrate private medical and life cover. Strike that, let's say all
adventurous activities, as hiking and running marathons can cause serious
injury and people have died doing them. What about their medical bills and
families? But then, it could be argued that the fat **** who sits in front
of Tricia all day and doesn't stir his pegs except to go to Macdonalds is
increasing his risk of heart disease by his inactivity. Who's going to look
after his lardy widow and chubby kids? Where's his extra medical cover for
his deliberately risky lifestyle? Where does this line of reasoning stop?

The NHS is for all, and thank **** for that.

 

You're way better informed than me on this, but I thought such
judgements were still about *outcomes* rather than *causes*. i.e.
you'll get a liver transplant if you killed the last one through
drink, but not if you continue to drink (and therefore threaten the
outcome).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
