Comment on BC Bicycle Helmet Law – NC Connections by Dianne Zielbauer

Dianne Zielbauer — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:43:32 +0000

I am writing this review based up on my real life experience on 3/14/10. My husband is a lifelong cyclist. Together we have worn bike helmets our entire adult lives. Friends joked about how we looked wearing our helmets in the past. They don’t joke anymore. My husband was riding solo at about 18-20 MPH and became startled by an unleashed dog that appeared out of nowhere. Expecting to be nipped at the heel, the dog instead crashed into the front bicycle wheel, sending him over the handlebars onto a paved street. His 1 year old Schwinn Thrasher helmet took the fist impact, destroying itself in order to save his skull and brain. Reconstructive orthopedic surgery was required for his shattered left collarbone. He is still healing – but he is able share his experience with others today. I spent a mere $20 bucks at a discount store. The Schwinn Thrasher helmet saved my husband’s life. Thank you Schwinn.

Comment on Circumspection on Circumcision – Lessons for India by Nandini

To Vinod,
You must be crazy to think that females should get circumcised as, just because you like the way the vagina looks after the process, that doesn’t mean that you should have told your girlfriend to get circumcised. The vagina is made that way for certain reasons, and if you think that ur girlfriends vagina is loose and hanging, buy her some kind of vaginal cream. I hope you know what complications can be faced for a women if she is circumcised. Just for your pleasure and enjoyment you cannot ask anyone to be circumcised.

i think khatna male ko to karani chahiye par female ko bhi karani chahiye isse uski vagina kasha aur bhara bhara sa dikhta hai. aur ye jaruri honi chahiye. kyonki bina khatna ke vagina latki aur ghin sa dikhta hai. maie apni aur apni girfriend ko khudse khatna kar di. ab use bhi achchha lagta hai aur mujhe bhi. aur sex mein bhi bahoot maza aata hai

so femal ko bhi khatna karni chahiye.

Informative information even though the bill does not set out plans to reach the targets. We at just 4 the planet agree with informing and educating on all issues environmental.

keep up the good work

Comment on High fructose corn syrup makes you fat by Wes Clark

“Some studies have shown that short-term access to HFCS can cause increased body weight, but the findings are mixed.”

“…these results *suggest* that excessive consumption of HFCS *may* contribute to the incidence of obesity.” (My asterisks.)

This doesn’t sound “conclusive” to me.

Comment on Opinion Polls and Yes Prime Minister by Wes Clark

Well… I haven’t received a push poll from any GOP firms seeking to enrich their Big Oil pals, but am (still) in favor of offshore drilling. Why?

The United States sends billions of dollars to our political enemies for a strategic resource, oil. That is INSANE.

Drill here, drill now.

Even a liberal dolt like Obama gets it.

We do agree on some points: I generally refuse to take polls and surveys when they call – which is all the time because my wife takes them. Also, I think “Yes, Prime Minister” is brilliant.
