    Don Thomas you are such a hero. You sound like a politician. You were the problem now you want to look like hero and take the high road. Everyone sees right through it FYI.

    I know Sean : I shouldn't of contributed to it. It looked like fun at first,then blossomed into stupidity. Lesson learned ,and from now on I'll stick to the subject.
    Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    Who would have thought a conversation about snowmobiles and helmets could get this weird?

    Just because I am Transgender doesn't mean it is ok to make fun of me. I am just confused. I used to like women but since my wife left me I am not sure. I want to be a women because I like penis. I can't help it I was born that way. What should I do. I could change my name to dawn thomas. Kinda works. Probably Noone would even notice or if they did they wouldn't be surprised. I have always been a feminine. Some even thought I was gay. Like myvwife
    That darn Zika Virus makes me say things with out thinking

    Don thomas, I honestly didn't know you were Transgender. My apologies. I hope you guys get your own bathroom soon. I don't want you guys in mine. But that a just my opinion. Again sorry for you loss. (By loss I mean your junk).

    I think The Answer is right. He seems to make the most sense out of us. We all could learn something by listening to him.. I would recommend you guys go back and read his posts again. We all should respect someone that intelligent. I know I do.

    I think it should be choice.I am tired of the government on telling me what I can do and not to do.I voted No becoause I like choice and I do wear a helmet while snowmobiling.

    This is the way we tie our shoe tie our shoe tie our shoe this is the way we tie our shoe look what I learned in school.I have all these degrees and I know how to tie my shoe! Thanks Obama your the man! I am sorry for calling you guy names mommy gave me a time out for that.Do not tell her I drew on the walls while I was in the corner.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Don that's ok you guys can make fun of me all you want. Doesn't bother me at all. Whatever helps you sleep at night

    Will nailed it. Once again everything comes down to the almighty dollar as it always does in this country. Sean and the EMT nailed it as well. Once again....money. Nobody gives a sh** about your personnel safety unless it costs them $$$$. That's why we have OSHA. The other issue is that we always think we can fix a problem by passing more laws. If someone is stupid enough they will eventually find a way to screw up and either hurt themselves or others...You can't go around making more and more laws that put fines on people who are doing nothing dangerous like checking their ice traps at 10mph.

  • Don Thomas - 8 years ago

    No one is calling you names - some of us are just making fun of ya. [[ and you make that so easy ]]

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Jim. Take a look at the posts and see who is calling who names. I am the one getting g called names. Do I care. Hell no. I don't care. I am better than the name callers. I take a higher road.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Don, yours usually tells me what to wear. She likes it when I dress as a police officer.

  • Don - 8 years ago

    Does your wife tell you what to wear ? Just wondering ! ha ha ha :)

  • Jim - 8 years ago

    here we go again name calling ,feels like I am back in grade school.Some people really need to grow up.We have enough laws trying to protect us,I wear a helmet when I snowmobile but so what.I do not wear a helmet when I ride my Bike, so if I take a digger why would you care.Also wear a seat belt because I do not want the fine .We have a turd stirrer here again and he can only call people names because it makes him feel good.Reality is this guy needs some metal help and get over himself.Hey go get yourself a happy meal! LOL you are a joke ! LOL

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    My wife and I both have motorcyclea and snowmobiles. Along with a boat and four wheelers. Yes we wear helmets because we are not stupid.

  • Don - 8 years ago

    Good point Will
    I couldn't have said it better.

  • Will - 8 years ago

    Just another way for the state to make money off people that aren't doing anything wrong. 99% of the people out trail riding wear helmets. This law would be going after the ice fishermen that are out on the lake going slow.

  • Doug - 8 years ago

    No! Motorcyclist perhaps but not off road riders. More government control isn't what we need.

  • Don - 8 years ago

    Ha ha ha :) There is one person on this chat ,that hasn't a clue.Kind of makes you wonder if that person ever rode a motorcycle or snowmobile -- [[ fun to read though ]]

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Sean that is a good idea. Nice job thinking outside the box!

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Brain, Clearly I am worth responding to, since you did. Use your brain. Since you have one.

  • brian - 8 years ago

    Hey The Answer can I have some of yours, you must have some good ones, I do have a brain and I use it every day more than I can say for you, so bye you are not worth responding to, some people just do not get it!!!!!!!!!

  • sean - 8 years ago

    I don't like government dictating personal choices. However, many people doing risky things with recreational vehicles have either no medical coverage or very basic coverage and when they seriously hurt themselves the medical cost is passed on to everybody else. I say carry proof of gold standard health care and drive around with a harpoon pointed at your chest if you like. If you don't have good medical coverage than you should have to use reasonable safety equipment.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Brian, what kind of pills do you have? Of course you do not wear a seat belt. Horse and buggies don't have them. Even of they did you have nothing to lose if you were in an accident. Are you really going to go brain dead? Don't you need a brain to go brain dead?

  • brian - 8 years ago

    Don I agree with you, ice fishing no helmet, snowmobiling yes helmet, its called common sense but people like the answer believe they should tell you that you have to do what they tell you WRONG I still do not wear a seatbelt it's called freedom of choice, that's what's wrong with this country all ways somebody sticking their nose in someone else's business and maybe you needs some pills ( The Answer ) I have not seen you say anything that makes any sense.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Don Thomas, does you friend prgrmr know you are talking to me? I don't want him to be mad at his transgender friend.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Don Thomas it is clear to me that you call me names because you have a low self esteem. (maybe erectile dysfunction, which is common at your age of 95) That is OK there are pills that can help you.
    I am here for you and I am willing to help you feel better about yourself. You can call me anything you want and it will not hurt me. That is what good people do. Good people do not call people names. Instead they help other become a better person no matter how much work it will take.

  • Don Thomas - 8 years ago

    How could I not agree with you-- Your proof positive that you can't fix stupid .

  • The Anwser - 8 years ago

    Don Thomas, thanks for agree with me. I see you are a slow learner but that's OK. Perhaps if you wore your helmet more it would protected your head. I have faith that you will see I have The Answer's and that I am usually right.

    If you need me to hold your sign while you put on your helmet I don't mind. Anything to help!

  • Don Thomas - 8 years ago

    Once again the answer proves he's right- -you can't fix stupid.
    Doug ! I'd say Your a freedom loving man. I'm with you all the way.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Thank you Carol. Someone on here with some brains. What is it going to hurt if someone has to wear a helmet? NOTHING. What is it going to hurt if someone doesn't have to wear one? Well say you are wearing a helmet and going a little to fast around a corner on your sled. You hit someone not wearing a helmet and you kill them because they were not wearing a helmet. Now you get to think about that for the rest of your life. Also you might be charged with someone.

    So it is not always about you Don.

  • Carol - 8 years ago

    No brain, no pain just dead. Having done EMS for 23 plus years and my share of snowmobile accidents the patients 99% of the time said I will never snowmobile without a helmet again. I don't like our government dictating to us either but it's like sky diving without a parachute.

  • Doug - 8 years ago

    What Don said. Personal choice. While ice fishing, I don't want a helmet on.

    While riding trails, I do. My choice, as it should be, and as it will be.

  • The Answer - 8 years ago

    Absolutely people should be required to wear helmets. I understand you can't fix stupid but you at least try.
    Should we have to tell you not to do drugs? No but we do anyways and people still OD.

  • Don - 8 years ago

    Here we go again- Dictating to the men and women who put these scumbag's in office.The last I knew,we were a freedom loving Country.Not a Country run like North Korea where if you don't smile at the Emperor you get thrown in jail.
    NO! we should NOT be made to wear anything. It should be our choice -- [[ I think it's a good idea to wear a helmet,but that should be our choice. ]]
