Len Boorman said:Yup see your point but the flip side is also that customers have been done by the rogue trader. So here we have a situation that is not unusual in that the innocent pay the price of the actions of the rogues.

Well I don't know do I? How about the one that bikers use when defending their right not to wear a helmetKenHigg said:I know I will regret asking this... Just which 'constitution freedom' did you think would cover this?
Considering the amount of confusion the United States Constitution seems to cause you as well as your expressed desire to clear up said confusion, perhaps you'd be interested in reading it. It's really not all that long, especially if all you're interested in is the Bill of Rights.Rich said:Well I don't know do I?
That still doesn't explain why smokers can be banned by law from lighting up easily and yet a law forcing the wearing of crash helmets or even seat belts is fought with great ferocity citing infringement of the bill of rightsKraj said:Considering the amount of confusion the United States Constitution seems to cause you as well as your expressed desire to clear up said confusion, perhaps you'd be interested in reading it.

KenHigg said:Oh Ricki... We didn't even have 'bikes' back then, how could we do a 'right' not to wear one... Besides the requirement is a State by State deal anyway, not a National issue...![]()
KenHigg said:I wasn't aware of ferocity on these issues... Not around here anyway. We all wear seatbelts and helmets. Did you see this on one of our re-run tele shows?
Apparently one retard ranting on a website constitutes a ferocious legal battle.KenHigg said:I wasn't aware of ferocity on these issues...

Now I'm confused. This major legal issue has been in the UK news for years and yet you still are clueless as to the legal rationale behind the arguments? Do your news programs not discuss such things?Rich said:There are a great many more and it's been in the news over here for years, don't you guys have newspapers?![]()
