I’m only commenting on actual or likely events. Something you apologists are unaware of. You don't know me at all. 4 hours ago, Gizo said: And yet you’re happy with 262 racing deaths so far and won’t see the event for what it actually is. #everest No. 30 minutes ago, Mr Helmut Fromage said: Got to say it’s probably a good guess. I’m going with 3 riders 4 visitors. Nothing morbid in commenting on the inevitable - what is worse is pretending it’s absolutely fine for people to get dead on an annual basis and then champion the event. The two of you let your arguements down. You falsely show concern, but your crassness about it shows your true colours. All you want to do is win an arguement. You have no real concern for the lives that are lost and the lives that are ruined. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are intrinsically linked - at an average of over 2 fatalities per year it isn’t crass it’s fact based opinion.

You can keep on believing that if it makes you happy. Deaths are not acceptable. Playing silly games forecasting them is just as bad.

Pretty sure someone on here was arguing we don't have deaths on open roads. As for suicides overdoses etc they don't tend to be government funded or seen as a spectator sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great comparison it was a collision with tragic consequences and not a Government sponsored soap box derby. For clarity I don’t know Nathan Harrison but he must be pretty tired having to thank every tax payer he meets for funding his motorcycle fetish. You have moaned and twitched curtains about Teachers being a lazy waste of money - just take a minute to absorb the fact that there are people who think paying a massive multi national corporation £100k so a local slightly above average rider can get some headlines in a team with a tubby 50 year old has been - is the pinnacle of sporting endeavour.

You will always get some people like you highlighting the negatives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
