Oops, my last reply was meant for another Thread.

Sorry about that.

And yes, I know what being facetious means and it was apropos to your original Comment.

Hmmm. I guess you didnt read the work. It relies on the fact that green means go to funnel “error” into the correct reponse. Anyone who has read the article front to back and digested the contents know that you are at stage 1

Please. You ginned up a yokel monologue about plowing into cars because of being too careless to see where a light was coming from. as a supposed argument why a green front brake light should be dismissed out of hand. You weren’t being a multi-faceted jewel of a guy. Or were you? Perhaps you support my argument so strongly that you were actually mocking the idiot who would make that argument. Please entighten me Francis. Oh and dont worry your steering papers are safe

I was taught in driver’s ed in high school not to pull out until the vehicle flashing its turn signal commits to the turn. Has always served me well.

My apologies. I would have guessed that my reference to hearing Joementia Biden on the Radio being a distraction would have given you a clue as to my intent. Oh well.

You think the green light thing on the front of a Car is a good thing, so be it. I think it’s just another distraction that would confuse most Drivers. I’ll leave it at that.

We can just agree to disagree. I’m not here to argue over something I never heard of before your Post. It is obviously something you are passionate about.

At this point in time, I think we have more to worry about, but that’s just my Opinion which has as much weight as your Opinion does on this Discussion Board.

Have a good day. Stay safe and warm.

Yes the entire world has far more to worry about. Or not. It really depends who’s world. Not the driver dying in an accident. His world turns on turns on the other. I dont fault you for having higher concern and worries about the future in our world.

If you wish to discuss the meaning of life and whether ANY thing we see or know can be trusted or is even important.. Stripped away and standing before creation NO narrative will stand. It is then you will realize that these inadequate minds and frail bodies were the means by which your true abilities were hampered. You know that you are too imperfect to know anything. To choose the narrative, knowing you are imperfect, but yet holding forth in jusdgment and condemnation is the mistake. Instead, the only safe bet is love, forgivness and kindness. It was Jesus final exhortation to his disciples at the end, once he realized that they still just did not understand: just love and forgive eachother. Who could ever say you loved and forgave too much?

I had an extremely bad heart attack two years ago, and my creator explained it to me and gave me another chance to go ahead and create more. So I do. Most people dont like like my tune, but the music is uambiguously mine. Thanks for your reply

Sorry to hear about your Health issues. Praying that you continue to thrive. One good thing to know is that we live in an amazing age when it comes to Treatments for what ails us.

A Friend of ours had his first Heart Attack in his 30’s. Last year at age 55 he felt it was happening again and he ended up having a quadruple Bypass. He is doing fine today thank God.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Leukemia fifteen Years ago and next Month I will passing through the outside 15 year survival threshold I was given at the time. I was fortunate that the multiple Chemotherapy Regimens I have had throughout this adventure have kept me going this long.

About five years ago after my last Chemotherapy Regime my Immune System crashed. I almost bought the farm and the only thing that saved me was Plasma Infusion Therapy. I had exhausted all other treatments over three Months.

When we encounter these types of life threatening Health issues it does give us pause to reflect on what is important in our Lives. The change in perspective is something that is hard to explain, but it’s there.

Take care my FRiend.

Yes the change can be quite profound. I am think about doing an article like “What changes when you survive a heart attack?”

I think people who havent had such an experience may find hearing about it interesting, and possibly comforting. I know that I have no fear of death now. It is tremendously freeing.

Best Regards

Mark

Almost every Community in the United States has a device called a traffic signal. This is a light that is red for stop, Yellow for caution it’s going to turn red and green for go. Yet everyday drivers run a red light killing others.

Distracted driving significantly increases the likelihood of an auto accident. In the United States alone, 25-50% of all auto vehicle crashes are directly related to driver distraction.

You can put all the lights on a car, make them flashing, even add a siren. These will not stop the accidents, just ask firemen, police and ambulance drivers!

The problem is poorly trained drivers who are distracted. Until you fix these issues, nothing will solve the problem. Because if a light on a car would tell a driver to yield then there would not be emergency vehicle accidents.

I recognize that many people are negligent and even homocidal while driving. Better training and proper use of the safety devices would help. And all the huka puka malarkey new fangled safety dee vices in the Woirld aint gonna substitute for good ol American knowhow.

However, if you are unwilling to acknowledge that vehicle signal and marker lighting saves lives and make our roads safer, then you are an IDIOT.

Your premise, that safety devices and vehicle lighting are a buncha malarkey because people misuse or ignore them sometimes, is IDIOTIC.

Sorry to be blunt but your argument has alreay been addressed earlier in this thread.

No you are totally correct. Your ice covered highway where the cars just keep slising kills the argument for brakes period! No brakes needed cause they dont stop shit on ice!! See!!

Continuous use of personal insults only undermines your arguments.
