Scotland and Canada are (thinking of) changing to "opt out" for organ
donation. Why? Why not just make it mandatory? You're dead, you
don't need those organs. Why waste the doctor's time on paperwork?
Why murder someone after your death who could have been saved by your
body parts? And no I dont care if you have some crazy religion.

not just thinking

speaking as someone who has the liver of a 20 odd year old boy racer if
they don't want to live I do ......

Motorcycle riders are sometimes called organ donors but anybody waiting
for my spare parts has had a hell of a long wait.


You know what ****es me off? A car in a legally unroadworthy state
cannot drive on the road without you getting in trouble, but it's still
10 times safer than a motorbike.


Would it ramp your ire up a notch if I told you in this state
motorcycles don't need insurance? That registration is a one time
affair? You buy the bike and register it and the plates are good for as
long as you own it. I think that went into effect in 2000 so that last
time I forked over money to the state for my '98 Harley was 21 years ago.


That would make sense if they did the same with cars. Insurance is a scam and should be got rid of. In the UK, if you crash into me and everyone agrees it's your fault, your premium will go up about £130 a year, but mine will go up by almost the same, £110. So what was the point in the insurance? It didn't protect me from your careless driving! A better way would simply be if you crash, pay for your own damage. If you're a safe driver, you'll be able to avoid the careless ones. If you have a more expensive car that costs more to repair, you can afford it.
