Kids on tractors

[LouNY]

If that was your line of work and you survived when did you turn so soft?

Coyote Machine - they are a lost cause. They are Mother Natures assistants in winnowing the herd. "Grandpa did it this way and by D-A-M-N I'm going to do it this way and nobody will change my mind". Ptttttttttt.............

Taking risks as needed is one thing. No need to take unnecessary risk in a work environment. I will say that never will there be a rider on equipment that I am operating at work or home.
Risk at play and home ? Various kinds of ball games, bikes or horses, whatever. Have at it. We all do it at some point and time. Personally know that all of the above are likely to result in a hospital visit.
As a contractor I have worked on more than a dozen homes where we were modifying the home to allow wheelchair access to various areas as a specific result of above ground swimming pool accidents. Now I realize that there are a LOT of above ground swimming pools. But for me to personally see so many cases of problems from one single common source its a attention getter. I can assure you I would think really hard about having one with kids around. Tractor related accident injuries are just as easily going to be seriously significant.

You can tell the tractor owner/driver is a few cards short of a full deck just from the picture. How much traction does he think he's going to get to pull that big disk with those squishy, fat turf tires?

It's not an IF, it's a was. I checked with my wife- she says I'm never soft!
I used to know some nice folks over Greenwich way. What happened to you?
Well, let's examine the question: Lou stated the following in his opening remarks: "This post is going to upset a lot of people, so right of the bat I don't give a da*n, suck it up....
**** people that have to shove there (their) opinions down others throats, I would hate to try.....

Note: I corrected a few of Lou's spelling and usage errors for better clarity.
Now it seems pretty obvious Lou doesn't care about others, as expressed his saying he doesn't give a ****, (also spelled wrong), and telling readers to suck something up- but he's not specific as to what exactly 'we're' supposed to suck up- maybe more Fox 'news'?
Then he goes on about people having to shove their opinions down others throats, and something about hate, and his inability to count how many times he was and probably still is the bravest of the brave back in the days of the invention of the wheel .
How's NOT shoving one's opinion down others throats working out for you now?!

I know, I just can't resist! And when one like Lou gets hurt for whatever reason, his lawyer is on speed-dial. I'd lay money it's Cohen....I heard he's looking for work.

...I heard he's looking for work.

too bad for those that will be found they have broken the law by violating the council/client confidence rights between a lawyer and their clients...

Even when they get out of jail they will have a hard time finding work...

Attorney/client privilege does NOT apply when a lawyer knowingly breaks the law in an attempt to cover up or participate in criminal activity. Cohen did both, numerous times including illegal use of campaign finance money. Go to jail- collect nothing.

Geeze are you gullible...!...you just suck up the "fake news" like it's candy...

campaign funds?...are you serious??? ...LMAO...!

FYI, as long as both parties were acting in good faith as attorney/client... and the attorney was legally practicing...the privilege remains intact...a client can confess anything to their attorney in confidence without repercussions after the fact...
Watch and learn...!

Yep....Probably not the safest thing in the world. I'm 65 and as a kid, rode on the round fender of my dad's tractor many times and survived. I remember him telling me in the winter not to wrap my fingers around the fender, cus the chains on the tires were there. I still have all my fingers. Times sure have changed. I guess less kids are hurt or killed in farming accidents these days, but it still happens. Maybe, we were just a bit more aware of our surroundings and knew there were dangers.

Here is a picture of me at 10 years old on a mower.......Oh my God.....look. it has no guards on the reels....I kinda knew not to put my feet there. I still have both my feet.

/ pine is seldom wrong. Secondly, Lou is not the person trying to intimidate folks. He merely stated his experience. It is the safety police from the righteous indignation state, who incidentally gave us the socialist curmudgeon, that attempt to enforce their obnoxious moral high ground upon folks minding their own business. Nice jab to the news organization, the #1 UNDISPUTED news organization in this country.
Might wonder if our stephen hawking replacement wannbee has the FD standing by his avatar fire. And has he all the safety police open burn permits? Enjoy rattling that cage, their red faces, the finger wagging, their tongues tangled around their words. They lost the election, same as they lost this discussion. Spit and sputter, the guy w/ orange hair is here to stay. The Mickey D jingle plays in the background, " I'm lovin' it.

And the lame reference from the wife, real class, making the argument for us.
