Do Me a Ginormous favor:
« on: July 21, 2009, 10:39:28 PM »
Wear your seat belt.  If you won't do it for your own safety, do it as personal favor to me (or any other EMS personell who respond to your 10-45), so that while I am trying to hold your cervical spine in a nuetral, in-line position to keep you from becoming a quadraplegic, the blood from that great big gash on your noggin' where you smacked into the A-pillar of your vehichle whilst bouncing around the interior like a flippin' superball does not run down my arm and onto my shirt.  Its gross and shirts are spendy these days.

Thank You.  (I just had to vent.)

I hear you Jim been there done that.
It amazes me the amount of people that will not wear there seat belts. Stupid!
Near as bad as the amount of men who will not wash there hands after emptying there bladders.

I too needed to vent.
That's all for now folk's.

So we have at least a couple of EMS personnel around... Sweet. I too am an EMT. and have been on those wrecks.. as well as waiting for the cops to show up to simply "investigate" since someone got thrown from the car.

Then there is texting while driving...worst thing ever in my opinion.
I'm so glad someone made this video.

It is the worst thing ever.  Hell, I've seen kids texting while speeding on a crotchrocket down I-80 in Omaha.

I fully support scary PSA's to grab their attention.

Or cleaning your gun while driving I-80.  Sorry....just had to lighten up the moment.  Until NE gets serious about seat belt laws and DUI, the death toll will continue to be unnecessarily out of proportion with most other states in the Union.

My $.02 on this:

THAT did not end well...... Off topic and "rahwt inta da ditch."

 
"but doesn't matter now as I have no more interest in continuing the discussion."


But the discussion will and must continue.  That is what it is: everyone's opinion being exchanged.  That is what makes the discussion.  If A&H wants to stir the pot and run back to his own blog and ...... well, ..... BLOG about it, so what?   He has every right to his politely expressed opinion here, whether or not he is polite in his own house. 

IMO, differing opinions are good, even if I think they are wrong as hell.   Again, that's just my $.02 .......

I have removed the off topic discussion. This is an important issue. More people will die from auto accidents than  I can fathom. It may be the most dangerous activity we do everyday.
