It's anecdotal, I admit, but I believe you're in the minority with that particular opinion, though I'm sure there are a few folks 'round the oval office and thereabouts who share your thoughts.

The irony may be that the USA is well on its way to disallowing either of us to express our opinions or thoughts, anywhere.

cheers,

Comment Re:Bike helmet? (Score 1) 317

If wearing a helmet makes any sense, why don't they wear them in Holland or Denmark?

I googled "countries that make the most sense", and neither Holland nor Denmark came up. Wiki was of no help.

I'm wondering where your premise that the Dutch and Danes make sense comes from?

I know this Danish lady, Ethla, and she makes pretty good sense, but she's agoraphobic, so she wouldn't ride a bicycle lest she cross paths with another human. She is very much the type to wear a helmet in a car, though. Perhaps with a full, tinted face shield, as well.

Another Dane I know owes me 25 bucks, and he drinks too much, and he rarely makes sense regardless.

I know a couple hundred Dutch folk, and very few of them make sense. Flying Dutchman is apt for 90% of them. And if you get a Frisian amongst them, and he starts yammering in his native tongue, well you'll quickly be rethinking the helmet thing.

cheers,

You know the Canadians will roll over on you, eh?

Please, sir (I say "sir", and I apologise if you are a "ma'am", ma'am), but on behalf of all Canadians, I urge you to consider that it is "politeness, pleasantries, civility, and common courtesy" that you misinterpret as "rolling over".

We simply rush to the front and open the door for you, sir/ma'am.

I hope I haven't offended you in any way, and I apologise for taking your time.

Thank you, and all the best, Godspeed.
