Wow... talk about going sideways with a conversation. rofl.
I don't think guys wearing helmets vs non-helmet wearing guys promotes healthy living either way. As you stated previously, riding a bike is inherently risky. I view it this way - buy a 3 pack of twinkies. Now, take a tin box, put one unwrapped twinky in it and shake it around - that's a human in a car accident with no seatbelt. Take a second twinky and unwrap it then wrap the top 15% of it in alumanim foil. Now position yourself about 20 feet from a wall and throw said twinky against wall. That's a motorcyclist with a lid on. With the third twinky, do the same thing without the foil. Either way, it's not good for the twinky.
At the end of the day, nothing fucking matters. We all were born, we are damned sure all going to die. How we spend the time between is on us. In the end, it's ashes-to-ashes brother.
About the pro-life vs. pro-choice issue - I am pro-life in the sense that I believe abortion is ethically wrong. My views on this are largely (though not entirely) religiously based. Yet I do not feel that it should be legislated as to me it does not make sense to legislate my views upon other people especially as most of those other people don't share the same religious views.
Best case scenario, to me, would be that the number of unwanted pregnancies were to decrease due to individuals choosing to act with a level of responsiblity for their own actions. Want to have sex? Great - there's this think called birth control - check it out. Want to abstain? Great - best way known to man not only to avoid pregnancy but also STDs. Want to fuck like rabbits and expect nothing to ever happen - you're an idiot.
