what?

repealing helmet laws all across america was one of the few good things Newts contract with America congress accomplished.

Helmet and seatbelt laws are BS!

In fact, nothing upsets me more about the government on a daily basis than (toilets that don’t work properly, shower heads that barely dribble, and that I feel like a criminal if I forget to put my seat belt on)

It’s NONE of the governments business if I wear a seat belt or a helmet! IT”S MY LIFE! and I have a RIGHT to be LEFT THE HECK ALONE!

I could refuse to pay medical costs inflated by the legal requirement upon hospitals to treat everyone irrespective of their ability to pay.

Could? You find out how, please let the rest of us know; we’re still being robbed by gunpoint. Would be great to get away like yourself. /s

Removing the words "I wish" from the beginning of my statement alters the meaning. Not sure why you chose to do that.

I also saw that "partial quote" word trick and wondered the very same thing!
That poster totally changed the meaning of your statement by deleting those two crucial words.

There are express lanes being built in the Orlando and Jacksonville areas, and there is a reversible, elevated “express highway” on one of the highways in the Tampa area.

My problem is who will pay the medical bills when someone’s head get mashed into the payment. Florida only requires bikers to have $10,000 in medical insurance.

The same person or thing that pays the medical bills for any other injury.

Your argument makes no sense. By your reasoning ... we should pass a law requiring everyone to wear full fire protection suits in their homes... because ... who is going to pay the medical bills when they get get massive burns during a home fire?

You can’t protect everyone from everything.

Bikers who I see on crotch rockets are usually wearing helmets. Older bikers on big bikes are not wearing helmets.

Not surprising. It’s typical. Left-wing big government statist people move into a state like Florida From liberal cesspool’s like New York New Jersey Massachusetts in order to escape the high taxes and big nanny state government.

Then they vote for the same douche bag activist big government heal the world make it a better place liberal politicians with a D next to their name.

Then they stand around with their palms raised up wondering why their new home turned into a shit hole just like their old home.

They are carrying the disease with them. Please don’t ruin Florida before I get there. :-)
