This is one of the reasons why I live in Mexico. If some idiot screws up, those that be do not feel like they have to be our dads (or uncles) and make everyone pay for it. Here, they actually accept that life is not perfect.

Someone screwed up - live with it.


look the other way? Why don't you feel that way when someone messes with your stuff?

I never said look the other way. I said that there is no sense in making everyone pay for an idiot. He screwed up. He needs to know he screwed up but it should not reflect on an entire race or group of people, etc.

I think most of us agree that the driver/crew were idiots to a certain degree, and disapprove of their behaviour....in part, because it reflects poorly on those of us who do not behave that way although we are enjoying the backroads....and we don't want to be perceived as such idiots.

It's kind of like saying all Muslims are terrorists...


but we need to address those that are.....:light:

what you said was "Why can't you just call an idiot an idiot and go on with your life? "

and the answer is no.. they need to be held accountable for irrational behavior...as a lot of other people have said including most (unfortunately not all) who enjoy off-road racing.

I don't think the ups store Baja 1000 guys are "idiots." I think they are psychopaths that find joy in torturing animals.

Kind of like our young white survivalist/establishment hater/cop killer that kept half the State of Pennsylvania on lock-down for the last four weeks, with enough arms, pipe bombs, survival stashes including adult diapers to confound hundreds of officers with sophisticated electronic search gear, sniffer dogs, etc. Betcha he didn't read the Quran... or that Florida preacher that wanted to burn Qurans as the 'work of the devil'.

Far's i'm concerned, Rush Limbaugh is as much of a terrorist threat as any jihadi, and in some ways even more so.

Yeah, but Rush Limbaugh doesnt qualify as an intelligent life form....And I am a conservative saying that...um ah um ah....The Pa. dude, just watched Rambo too many times...A true "work of the devil" is more than one of Buddhas martinis....:P
