Kentucky Senate introduces ride safety legislation

I wasn't talking about other people on the road, I was talking about the kid. You must have misunderstood me, which is pretty much expected around here.

Kid *is not* in danger if he doesn't watch the ride. Kid *is* in danger if he doesn't watch the road. While operating a ride, kid doesn't have as much of an incentive to watch the ride because it is not HIS life that is in danger. If he is driving a vehicle on the road, regardless of who ever else in on the road also, HIS life IS in danger if he doesn't operate the vehicle correctly.

How does that make no sense?

I want to come up with some smartass one liner to end my comment, but I am better than that.

Oh please.

You can spin it anyway you want. You know damn well that if a 16 year old is driving a car, he or she can end alot of lives while driving that car. Stop thinking that driving a vehicle is less dangerous then pushing buttons on an amusement ride.

Like I said, thanks for playing. Please come again.

I know, you know, and everyone on earth knows that anyone driving a car is putting other drivers in danger. Common sense, right? I am saying that when a kid is running a ride, it's not HIS life that is in danger so maybe he has lees of a reason to watch the ride and do his job properly. That was my point.

Read it again. When a kid is running a ride, it's not HIS life that is in danger so maybe he has lees of a reason to watch the ride and do his job properly.

I don't know how many other ways I can say it. Did you even READ my post before smart-asssing me? Comprehend? Did you understand the part where I said, "...regardless of who ever else in on the road also..."? Why is it so hard to make one little point on CoasterBuzz without getting smarted off to? Since CoasterBuzz is a smart ass contest lately, I'll play...

"Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!" HAHAHAHAHA

Why is it that whenever someone doesn't agree with you, it's because of their lack of reading comprehension? Perhaps you just haven't formulated a very good thesis or they just think you're wrong.

I really am sorry that you guys think I am trying to be a jerk. It's a very simple point, really. I wasn't talking about other drivers. I was putting my mind inside the head of a teenager and why they would be better drivers than ride operators. That was my original point, and that is still my point.

Maybe it's my writing skills, but if you really knew me, you wouldn't think so.

If someone disagrees with my opinion that kids are more alert drivers than they are ride operators, than they can say that they disagree. I'll accept that. I was proud of myself for bringing that small tidbit to the discussion. Why do people have to be disrespectful about it?

Come on. There is disagreeing and there is unnecessary sarcasm. This kind of response is what leads to a defensive retort. It doesn't move the discussion forward and it leads to the kind of culture that many say they do not enjoy.

^It's a forum on the internet.

If someone takes sarcasm personally on the internet, then it's time to step away from the computer.

If every post is littered with sarcasm, it weakens your argument too.

I knew what LK was trying to say. Must be a PA thing.
