Cars are safer. Period. Bike fatalities are somewhere among the order of 42x the rate of fatalities for the occupant of a car. THAT’S why people ask if you’re going to stop riding a bike. [/quote]

Old post, sorry for bringing this up but the rate is just over 5x not 42x.

And along with that, the point still stands that cars aren’t safe so the judgment of car drivers as if bikers are insane is ridiculous. If more cars drove like they weren’t blind to anything on two wheels, I am sure that “5x” would decrease further.

Good ol BG is one for exaggeration.

I don’t exaggerate Spinks. I’ll post the reference. We’re talking in terms of fatalities as compared from bike to car. Unlike you, if I’m wrong, I’ll actually fucking say I’m wrong; not invent some illogical argument out of a cavernous wellspring orifice of illogical arguments.

Only you can say “cars aren’t safe”.

Cars aren’t safe as compared to what ya big fuckin dummy?

As if “cars aren’t safe” is not only an EXAGGERATION, but a poor construct.

Uh, cars are speeding pieces of metal on wheels…surrounded by thousands of idiots whose intelligence and driving skills are questionable, often in cities that house millions increasing the risk of fatality.

No, I think it is quite ok to say, “cars aren’t safe”. Jumping in to inform me of how unsafe motorcycles are would warrant the act of questioning why you think cars are so safe that you couldn’t easily die in one every time you are driving one.

I was in a car accident a little over a year ago. The overall damage to all involved was actually WORSE than with the motorcycle accident. I mean, the guy on the bike has to worry about his own life. The people in a car wreck are risking the lives of everyone in both vehicles.

Yeah, motorcycles are of greater risk (especially based on skill level and awareness), but to act as if cars are safe is just dumb.[/quote]

Whelp. That settles it! YOU were in a car accident. It’s happening EVERYWHERE and to EVERYONE! And yours was worse than your motorcycle accident.

Once again, you’ve reached to the depths of your cavernous well of illogical arguments.

Motorcyle Facts:

Motorcycles are the most dangerous type of motor vehicle to drive.  These vehicles are involved in fatal crashes at a rate of 35.0 per 100 million miles of travel, compared with a rate of 1.7 per 100 million miles of travel for passenger cars.

Motorcyclists were 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash in 2006, per vehicle mile traveled, and 8 times more likely to be injured.

Although motorcycles account for only 2% of vehicles on the road, they make up more than 10% of all crashes.

Approximately 80% of motorcycle crashes injure or kill a motorcycle rider, while only 20% of passenger car crashes injure or kill a driver or passenger in their vehicle.

They are also secksy as hell and the only thing that works my taint better is a Hitachi wand with its ass-end in the garbage disposal.[/quote]

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among those age 5-34 in the U.S.1 More than 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers were treated in emergency departments as the result of being injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2009.2 The economic impact is also notable: the lifetime costs of crash-related deaths and injuries among drivers and passengers were $70 billion in 2005.3

Damn…the leading cause of death.

But they are SAFE.

LOL ya big dummy.

Look at the AGE group. Of course it would be a leading cause of death. Did you expect heart disease for all those 12 year olds? Cancer maybe? Of course it’s going to be accidental means.

This doesn’t mean cars aren’t safe. SMFH

Of course, this is a thread about a high school kid but since every thread needs to be about X, I’ll accommodate him. X as we all know rides a motorcycle.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 13.10 cars out of 100,000 ended up in fatal crashes. The rate for motorcycles is 72.34 per 100,000 registered motorcycles.[1] Motorcycles also have a higher fatality rate per unit of distance travelled when compared with automobiles. Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists’ risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car.[1] In 2004, figures from the UK Department for Transport indicated that motorcycles have 16 times the rate of serious injuries per 100 million vehicle kilometers compared to cars, and double the rate of bicycles.[2]

My bad, it’s 35x higher when adjusted for miles (which makes it an apples to apples comparison). Oh boy did I exaggerate.

Oh my God, they are death traps!

Only You could make this thread about You, and only you could conclude that notwithstanding the MILLIONS of cars on the road each and every day, 24/7/365, that “cars are unsafe”.

Anyway, the only algebra that matters is that cars are MUCH safer than motorcycles and THAT’S the reason people ask you if you’re going to stop riding after an accident. Ok?

I’m sorry to hear your son got in trouble for this one. My advice was based off of an incident that happened at my own high school about 8 years ago. Two guys were fighting, the vice principle sent them across the street, they had their fight, and nothing ever came of it. I suppose it would have a lot to do with 1. The kid’s previous record, and 2. The law in the specific area where you live. [/quote]

NFW is that a common practice, or an intelligent one. In this asininely litigious society that we live in, an administrator of any kind (be it principal, vice principal- whoever) is not going to assume that liability by condoning a fight.

I’m surprised that your vice principal didn’t end up on the evening news. Or did he?

Moreover why are you grown ass men bothering with some high school bullshit when you’re not his dad? Giving advice like beatdowns and ass fucking? Derek had this thread locked down in the first reply. That is the right answer, we all know it.

Kid is 14.

OP, find an adult you trust for advice.

Lol, this. I was going to post something stupid but I’ll just agree with this here.

Isn’t there an age limit on these threads?

It is the leading cause of death for an age range that comprises a large percentage of the people on the planet right now.

If that equals “safe” to you, then I suggest applying for director of FEMA.

Yes. LOL

Because you obviously do not understand “relative risk”.

WHAT ELSE WOULD BE A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH TO AN AGE GROUP THAT WILL NOT DISPLAY THE TYPICAL HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO DEATH???

FUCKIN DUH.

Have you gotten one of those Swiss made ones? Pretty cool, but the fork does not lock back if the gun is not loaded or if the safety is on. Makes eating while watching football so much more fun. With all the cheering, food, beer, death a millisecond away. Whew!! Good times!

Forget him.

Dude, it’s fucking high school. NONE of that shit matters.

No, not even the stuff you think REALLY matters. That stuff especially doesn’t matter. Most of the cute girls in your class will be fat as hell in ten years. Most of the guys who think they are hot shit now will be Al Bundy in 15 years.

Ignore the fucker and work on getting better.

There is no greater revenge than running into those people years later after you have reached your life goals.

Let it be.

People fuck with you. That’s life. It only matters if you let it or you believe it.

I have no doubt that weight training and eating like a serious gainer would look strange today in a sea full of sedentary X-box players.

Get used to standing out.

What the hell do you think will happen if you actually build those 20" arms. Yeah, you will stand out more and people will talk more.

better train for it now.[/quote]

OP, this is a great post from X.

Just to add my 2 cents: As X mentioned, people who fuck with people will find something vitriolic to say about you no matter what you do. A thick skin and the ability to ignore people who want nothing more than to see you reduce yourself to the lowest common denominator are well worth acquiring.

When I was younger (like up to 17) I was a chubby kid not into sport and always got called fat. When I lost weight I would get called skinny. I’m now 230LB and pretty lean (visible hips) at 6.2" I’m not big by the standards on this site nor do I consider myself ‘impressive’, but a net overall gain of 70LB muscle isn’t too shabby. People still manage to get digs in and like to attribute my progress to steroids (which I do take) and make comments like ‘you’re just naturally big’, or ‘it’s because he takes steroids’.

People just love to downplay other peoples achievements and work ethic. there’s a great quote from the series House MD when one of the doctors (‘Taube’ I think he’s called, the Jewish guy) says to a female pilot, ‘I’ve known plenty of people people with dreams, and they all had one thing in common, they al got laughed at’.

An unfortunate fact about human nature is that many people will be happy to see you fail, and will laugh at you when you do. The two key points to take away here are: 1) Never be one of these people. You are learning now that as you work towards your goals other people, even people you thought were your friends will actually be unsupportive and make denigrating comments. you must learn to use these to spur you on; and 2) NEVER be one of these unsupportive people.

Good luck, and remember to be true to yourself, never waiver to try and please other people ;-)[/quote]

I get similar comments. I used to be 185 nw i hover at about 220. Went from 135 times 3 on the bench to 300x3. Deadlift in the low 400s and sqaut in the mid 300s. Ther are way bigger and stronger guys than me on this site so if i get a little negative talk i can only imagine what they get. And i get comments like ur naturally big from people who new me when i was smaller, and when i lift more than them they just say " its cuz ur big dude, u should be able to do that". Like i was born big, and im 6:1 at that so i dont even consider myself big lol
