my .02$:
Even if the helmet laws get repealed, people will still wear the silly things...just like people who are accustomed to riding bare-headed WON'T wear helmets now...it's all about what you're used to... |

The question is whether the reporter had (and whether either of you two "read" it does not impress me in the slightest, since you'll just see what you want to see.) -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

I don't answer questions about my reading habits - certain assholes will simply claim I haven't no matter what. It is one of their traditional tactics. You can even quote the relevant text from an article and they will *still* claim you haven't read it. Check the archives and you can find some examples of this. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

Ah, so now it's unnecessary to read the research simply because it is reported by someone who quotes someone whose views you disagree with. Fascinating. Not a terribly good basis for informed judgment, though. Thanks for confirming that you haven't read it, at least we all now know that it's safe to ignore your views on this study.

In your haste to shoot the messenger you appear to have forgotten to read the article. See below: I've seen enough of Burdett's posts on this newgroup to have some real doubts about a reporter who talks about some paper but quotes Burdett, whose biases are obvious from what he's posted here. Ah, so now it's unnecessary to read the research simply because it is reported by someone who quotes someone whose views you disagree with. Fascinating. Not a terribly good basis for informed judgment, though. You don't know what I've read. It is not like you have a webcam in my home to spy on me. Thanks for confirming that you haven't read it, at least we all now know that it's safe to ignore your views on this study. Another of your numerous lies - I did not confirm nor deny if I had read it. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |
