If what's aired there is so disturbing to Derick, then it should be disturbing to the rest of the family, too. To stay on a network whose policies and practices you don't agree with is the very definition of hypocrisy. And what sort of example is that? 1 Timothy 6:10 applies here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-28999951551960637222018-04-28T18:21:42.633-05:002018-04-28T18:21:42.633-05:00@`12:50.

I listen to engineers (which I am one), who are involved in designing and testing these safety devices. <br /><br />Shame on you as a Canadian doctor. (A Brit or American would never quote speed in km/hr). Common sense means that people OBEY the law. That means that only those with the appropriate licenses operate motor vehicles and that seat belts are ALWAYS worn, no matter how fast the vehicle is going. Also, people ALWAYS put on a helmet when on a bike so that it becomes second nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-92019950770653661812018-04-28T16:46:12.600-05:002018-04-28T16:46:12.600-05:00Anon 5:23.

Actually, it's called an "operator's license," and if you're operating the car, you have to have the license with you. Also, all front seat passengers must be wearing a seat belt when the car is moving. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you're going, or if the road is public or private. "Click It or Ticket" is the saying to remind people of this law. <br /><br />As far as bikes, anyone under 18 must be wearing a bike helmet when on a bike, no matter where they are with that bike. Everyone I know who has kids makes them wear the helmets, even if they're riding on the lawn or in the driveway. <br /><br />There is no allowance in the law for following someone's common sense instead, since we all have different definitions of that. In order to have fair and uniform coverage for all, we all have to follow the rules as they're written. We can't make them up as we go along or bend them to suit us. No judge would buy that and it wouldn't hold up in court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-33216224390440913712018-04-27T15:23:06.601-05:002018-04-27T15:23:06.601-05:00Jordyn is a beauty.

Actually, a car seat and a seat belt are unnecessary if you are driving at 20 km/hr on your own flat land. They are extremely important if you are an impaired driver or driving at high speeds or if you are on hilly terrain or if you are on a public road where you cannot control those around you. A helmet for toddling around the grassy yard on a bicycle or posing with your new bike is unnecessary but extremely important if you are bicycling quickly or on pavement. Your post indicates the truth that laws are needed because too many people don't have common sense but for those few with common sense, do what you think is best on your own property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-11922635652848981742018-04-27T11:36:31.013-05:002018-04-27T11:36:31.013-05:00Do any of you seriously think that if bike helmets...Do any of you seriously think that if bike helmets had been around when other generations were kids that the parents then WOULDN'T have used them to protect their children? A huge part of being a parent is protecting your child. If there's safety equipment to do that, you should use it, and use it properly. If you grew up in a time when there wasn't that safety equipment, I'll bet your parents wished that there was a better way than continually nursing kids with broken limbs and concussions - or watching news stories where untethered kids were badly injured in car wrecks. That's why car seats, helmets, and skate padding were invented, and laws about them were passed. It's foolish not to use safety equipment these days, and certainly "we didn't have them way back when" is no excuse for not using them.
