Then become a Sikh, and stop boring us with this nonsense.

I happen to think dogs are great too, but that doesn't mean I should want to become a dog.

MechaStreisand, you are an unpleasant person. Your comments almost always refer to other people as "retards", "idiots" or "morons". It's a little bit unseemly for such a stupid sonofabitch to be doing that. It's really no way to go through life.

Would you be more worried about what atheists thought, or what Sikhs would think if they knew you didn't belong to their religion?

Atheists think a lot of different things, and I'd like to think that most atheists aren't actually offended by the fact that religious people exist. That would be a pretty horrible way to go through life.

If there is a specific religious significance to the headwear, I wouldn't want believers to think I was denigrating their beliefs.

I'm old school in that I don't believe in being offensive without good reason.

American Justice is about having a penalty so severe that the risk/reward ratio makes doing the crime a bad idea. Unfortunately, many, many people today have a problem with thinking very far in the future.

No, American Justice is about keeping enough poor people incarcerated that revolution can be avoided.

The ridiculous percentage of Americans that are incarcerated has more to do with politics than it does crime.

Comment Re:Motorcycle Safety Perceptions (Score 1) 236

People don't fear motorcycles because of the accident rate. People fear motorcycles because of the survival rate in an accident caused by someone else.

That is a constant between motor vehicles and it doesn't matter how skilled of a driver you yourself are, there's a lot of other's out there which can cause problems on the road for you. There's simply no arguing that you'll be safer inside the monster truck than under it.
