I will. Its because its competitively rare. Cars are inherrently safe
& become safer every year.

Ah! The rarity argument again. If only a few people are killed it
doesn't matter, i.e. their deaths don't count and their relatives
should shut-up instead of making such a fuss.

Good point.

Tell it to some of those who are trying to "argue" that there doesn't need to
be any strengthening of the law against dangerous cycling because only a few
people are killed by it, and because the dead are only effin' pedestrians anyway.

Stalin argued the opposite view: one death is a tragedy, a million are a
statistic.

Have we finally found a difference between Duhg & Stalin?

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

Ah you mean like your rarity arguement 'because cyclists dont do much
damage to pedestrians it doesn't matter'

Not at all. Killer cyclists should be given the same treatment as
motorists who kill. Fortunately though there are so few killed by
cyclists it is less of a problem than those killed by motorists, who
are much more dangerous anyway.

What's the point of anyone giving you those, Doug?

You see, when I and others did in the "Euopean campaign to ensure that all
cosmetics sold in the EU are cruelty-free!" thread here just three days ago,
you just went silent. *Why didn't you reply to apologise for all your errors
and for trying to stir people into rebellion over nothing?

Why are you so reluctant to present your POV? Do you fear that it might
be challenged?

I think that's a question you should be answering actually in the thread I
mentioned.

It's an issue on which you went quiet before as well:

How about an answer to the issues, Doug?
