Should young pedestrians be made to wear cycle helmets?

"A seven-year-old boy is in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital
after being knocked down in Midlothian.

Lothian and Borders Police said the boy suffered serious head injuries after
he ran out in front of a car in Dalkeith.

The incident happened in Bogwood Road at the junction with David Scott
Avenue at about 13:25 on Friday.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact police."

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

Please can you also remind the other poster who posts off-topic material to
do the same.

And you like Mr. Mason so you consider it acceptable for him to make
off-topic posts but not Doug. That's not very even-handed is it?

No, I don't know enough of Simon to say I like him, but I certainly
don't dislike him and he posts a shed-load more on-topic stuff than
many others in here so I don't worry about other stuff as I think his
heart is in the right place for the group .. I don't actually 'like'
anyone as such, I don't 'know' enough of anyone to go that far. Some
posters I enjoy reading and like their style, some I don't, simple as.

When has usenet been even-handed?

As it happens I think I am usually very even-handed. I have responded
negatively to SM in the past, as I have to many other cyclists and
drivers. I'm a petrol-head first as well as a cyclist, so my views are
mostly mid-stream, I think. In this case I intensely dislike Doug, I'm
pretty ambivalent towards most other posters.

I don't dislike anyone intensely as it is such a negative emotion that
only makes me suffer and not the object of my disliking.

It took me a while to realise I disliked him, but I've 'known' of him
for a few years now .. and it doesn't make me suffer at all, I just try
to reply to him as little as possible and normally in disparaging,
probaby troll-like, terms.

I stopped trying to argue or debate with him a long time ago, he has
such a narrow mind that he's impossible to actually have any discussion
with if it opposes in any miniscule way his own distorted viewpoint ..
no matter how much proof you show, which he'll ask to be repeated in
many different ways, before simply ignoring anything further and
repeating his mantra for the day.
