ever since a dude in California get sued & lost after pulling a woman out of a wrecked car with gas dripping everywhere....I say, let them bleed out. Not worth the risk. Perhaps you'll change your mind when you get involved in a hit and run accident, lying in the gutter somewhere, bleeding, broken leg and arm, and no one renders aid. Seeing cars zoom by, people looking at you like you're a zoo animal, or a newest attraction, just wishing for water or shade, but no one offering, until you're completely dried out, thinking the last bits of life have been squeezed out of you, and you don't think you'll make another hour, and the ambulance pulls over. In that case you can thank the person that had the heart to call an ambulance, because if it wasn't for that person, you probably wouldn't have survived. If someone who sees the accident doesn't call, whatever car or people behind them won't render aid, because they think someone already called 911 before. |

In that situation, I would RATHER not survive. Just let me bleed out. |

Ya why wait? You see even prodigit sees this clearly and even posted a rather nice scenario there.
I'm glad I don't live in New England where money is more important than human life...

Hi Hank I wish our whole Country would share our attitudes on helping others in times of need. I only wish I was as even tempered & easy going as you my friend. May be in a couple of year's I'll mellow. My Choctaw, Cherokee & Scottish Heritage some time get the best of me.
If I ever gain control of my passion of life. I hope it's more to cast a side trivial Differences. Some of us have the hardest time with this one. All I can do is pray for it..
Truly
Dave

I hope it's more to cast a side trivial Differences. Some of us have the hardest time with this one. All I can do is pray for it.. Truly Dave Hi Dave Thank ya kindly Ive chosen to live my life by certain values, And ive posted them at the old site i may as well share them here as well "Warrior Philosophy" Throughout history there have been many philosophies developed to regulate the behaviour of those within society deemed warriors. The more well known of these philosophies are the codes of Chivalry from Europe and Bushido from Japan. Many have been influenced by the social mores of the culture in which these warriors lived. Through most, though, run a common core of attributes that define how a warrior is expected to live his/her life. The Way of the Modern Warrior follows these attributes : COURAGE __ The warrior faces his or her fears. There are many things we are afraid of; fear of failure, fear of looking a fool, fear of getting hurt. Well, that is natural- but, the warrior has to learn to acknowledge that he/she is feeling fear because that is all it is, a feeling. Recognise where the feeling is coming from and why and then it is possible to overcome the fear. We can then face the challenges of life and do those things we would wish to. HONESTY __ The warrior is honest in all he/she does. Honest with others and, most importantly, honest with his/herself. In dealing with others always do so in the spirit of truth - the idea of things as they truly are- as there is no value in fooling others (yes, the little white lie is still acceptable in the right circumstances, which leads us to the next attribute). COMPASSION __ The warrior has an open heart. He/she helps others at every opportunity. The warrior considers the idea of hurting others needlessly abominable. COURTESY __ The warrior has respect for others. In his/her dealings with people the warrior exhibits politeness and regard for others. This applies to all the warrior comes in contact with; whether friend, enemy or stranger. SINCERITY __ The warrior is sincere in all he/she does and says. He/she will endeavour to keep any promise given. Any act that the warrior says he/she will do, will be done. Speaking and doing are the same action. LOYALTY __ The warrior is intensely loyal to those in his/her care. The warrior remains true to those that depend on him/her. The only exceptions being those that would cause the warrior to give up the next, and last, attribute. HONOUR __ The warrior is always conscious of his/her honour. How a warrior behaves is a reflection of who he/she is. The other attributes are the actions that allow the warrior to have honour, it is the state that defines the warrior. No warrior would allow his/herself to be involved in anything that would bring dishonour on his/herself. Take care and ride safely dearest friend Yours Hank |

Yeah it looks like California is all messed up about their good Samaritan law. abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=6498405&page=1This was a few years ago though, maybe they fixed the law there in California as it would affect a lot of people there. I didn't see anything else about it, so I don't know if it went to court or if the defendant lost the lawsuit for sure yet. |

And women say chivalry is dead ( Dripping Sarcasm, and disgust ).. Seeing this video no wonder they think so... My Goodness, All the riders should have stopped to render aid to that women.. I em shocked, man or women makes no difference, you see a rider go down in front of you for any reason what so ever, IMHO it is your moral obligation to stop and render whatever aid you can.. Period, I don't give a crap about the legal stuff, it's the right thing to do..... There is no justification for leaving a fellow rider down.. NONE  |
