Another issue with motorcycle helmets surfaces when someone wears a brain bucket. If you are in an accident your upper skull may be ok, but your chin and face will likely be damaged very badly.rsilvers wrote:True.

I hate 'em, but I wear a full face helmet. I don't want to look like that poor guy who chewed on the blasting cap if I get in a wreck.
Im a Ski Racing coach. We require them for our kids. I also wear one religiously. I have had several instances where the helmet definitely was worth it. Theyre much warmer than a hat. Once you get past "looking stupid" theyre great. Serious skiiers wear them, and think people who dont are foolish.
I cant agree with making them mandatory for recreational use from the standpoint of just not wanting to be told what to do once again, but I see why the decision is made.
Ultimately you are in a controlled slide down a steep, icy, tree lined trail with almost no protection, and boards with razor like edges on your feet. Thats the essence of the sport...

well i would wear a helmet skiiing and not driving because i have the car to take the impact, my head would directly hit a tree if i collide with one, have been skiiing and snowboarding for about 14 years and i have been wearing a helmet for 14 years, i dont even realize im wearing one, would you prefer doing battle with or without a bulletproof vest, its a similar analogy in my opinion
I don't worry, the way my work car is packed I'll be killed on impact by the airbag. Won't live long enough to have to worry about it. If not that, all the crap in the back seat will take care of things.rsilvers wrote:I am good at driving and wear a seat belt (but no helmet).

I wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. I ended up sliding down the road twice after getting hit by a truck and hitting a deer. Both times the helmet saved me from major injures.
Just as most helmets have a suspension system between the skull and shell, a seat belt keeps you secure in the seat while the car body is the shell that protects you from impacting the road in a crash. You are very unlikely to ever see me wearing a helmet in a car unless I decide to take up racing.
I see no problem with a private ski resort requiring certain protective equipment. If a person does not want to wear a helme there, then they are free to ski elsewhere. I do have a problem with the state requiring skiers on public land to wear a helmet.

SilencerTalk was a place I could disccuss making registered silencers without being told I was a criminal. That is no longer true. http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=132&t=99273

Those bitches need some food and tits.smcharchan wrote:The hottie snow bunnies like are not going to like the new rules:
Of course, I don't care if their face is covered up...
Why does every thread on this site have to get ruined with some dumb posts about some semi nude skank? Makes it hard to browse at work when it looks like I am browsing porn. Same when my lady walks by and there is some 1/2 nude in a thread NOT about that.
We have all seen a woman naked. Well, I believe most grown adults males have. There is no need to constantly saturate threads with pics and commentary from the peanut gallery that acta so juvenile as if they never saw a titty or some bush. It's immature and juvenile. If I wanted to look at porn or nudes or semi nudes,I would frequent that kind of site, not a gun site.
I love this site but staying on topic and keeping naked or 1/2 naked chicks in the appropriate section would be much better.

I can't believe you typed that s--t out loud and actually clicked on submit. I type some hairbrained stuff sometimes, but I usually recognize that it sucks and then delete it.

I agree and mentioned this a few years ago. I was shouted down. I cannot visit this site during work either. Hence I have 3000 posts here and 25000 elsewhere.Stu wrote: Why does every thread on this site have to get ruined with some dumb posts about some semi nude skank?

As far as you guy, you a real douche. What the F--k..are you 12 and just learned to operate your dick?
I asked that nudes and hoes be kept in the proper section. Other people have asked as well. We are all adults so act like one, stay on topic and post hoes in the appropriate section. It is a simple request and there are reasons for it.
This thread was about a new law.
If this thread was about bitches with cold nipples then it should have a NSFW title and be called "Bitches with cold nipples" and put in the artistic section, not in some random thread.
It's only respectful and appropriate behavior to post that s--t in the appropriate section with the appropriate warning, that is all I was saying.
You posting these additional ones just solifies my point that inappropriate posts in the wrong threads is juvenile and immature. You probably think you are cool though? This is you: "
Look, I can find pics of chicks who would never touch me in real life but I am so cool. Now,I have to post them in random threads to show how cool I am. When someone tells me it's not cool, I'll just post more. I am such a rebel!"
Well, you have fun playing with yourself while you look at stupid 2 dimensional images because I am sure by the level of respect and maturity you just displayed, you don't get any REAL ass of your own so you have to resort to these.
Sorry (but not really), you can't always get what you want... If you want to be in control, speak with Robert about becoming a moderator.Stu wrote:I asked that nudes and hoes be kept in the proper section.
This is the random section, not one of the more serious sections like "Gun Discussion", or "Silencer Reviews". Get over it...Stu wrote:...stay on topic and post hoes in the appropriate section.
Nope, this was a thread about the possibility that ski resorts might start requiring their patrons to wear helmets.Stu wrote:This thread was about a new law.
A few people that are likely the minority might agree with you that a few pictures of hot women within a thread in the "Random Talk" forum is not appropriate. However, if you work some place that frowns upon pictures of scantily clad women, then maybe you should stop surfing the web from work altogether and wait till you get home.Stu wrote:You posting these additional ones just solifies my point that inappropriate posts in the wrong threads is juvenile and immature.

I could care less about being "cool", I just like to poke fun at people when they whine about s--t.
Nope, not at all. This is me:Stu wrote:This is you: ...

Titties != "porn", unless you're in third grade in a Catholic school.
Also, I did put a NSFW tag in there and you would have had to scroll down a ways past that before the titties would have been visible.

It's called "RANDOM TALK" not "RANDOM TITS" shithead.
That is the point.
Blobfart? Oooh, you're mutilating my Internet nickname, the horror! You've gone gradeschool on me and you're calling me immature?Stu wrote:Hey Blobfart,

The first pic, the one that you originally bitched about, was 100% "G" rated. I bumped it up a notch just to put a little more sand in your vag, but damn, had I known you'd resort to name calling...
