It's like an olympic sport and you can't change stupid is their mantra.

Just an observation!
If "you can't change stupid" is their mantra, then "Let's bitch and complain about everything" is their Vow.

My point exactly. The world didn't come to a grinding halt.
Sadly in November 2016 we did see a 3 year only fall out of a cart, did the world come to a halt? Not for us, but it did for the grandparents that it happened to. Does it stay in my memory, yes, but I see worse on a day to day basis at work. When you do cpr on a child, the only thing going thru your mind besides counting, is please don’t die. You come to a grinding halt, the world not so much.

It used to be kids took away the keys from their older parents who they felt couldn't drive a CAR safely. Now they still do that but give them a golf cart instead.

My 91 year old father was driving until 3 days before he passed away. He said "I've never had an accident or got a ticket in 75 years of driving." My answer to him was always "Have you ever looked in the rear-view mirror and saw the carnage you left BEHIND you?" He thought his reflexes were as good as they were when he was 17. Couldn't convince him otherwise.

Be careful. High season is drawing to a close. The roads won't be so clogged and the lines won't be as long soon, and the risky behaviors will drop...some.

Take good care of yourselves and your families. I want to know that you are all here and safe in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday on my street a golf cart comes by with three kids in the seat with what looked like a 12 year old driving. No adults in sight. If something bad happens my guess is one of these television lawyers will be called.

Still amazed that 14 is the minimum age to drive a golf cart around here.

I just saw a Grandmother driving with 2 kids on the front seat with her and a boy sitting on the floor. The sides were down which are just flimsy fabric with snaps.

Grandparents should have better sense.
If you know 3 grands are coming why not rent a golf cart for 4 with seatbelts?

I don’t understand the “ why don’t you mind your own business?”
When we see total carelessness it is concerning!

These people are called organ donors.

Another observation: people doing what the op posted need to be criticized and judged.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. But why do some feel that they are the ones designated to do it?

:agree:

"people doing what the op posted need to be criticized and judged"

Criticizing and judging people go beyond opinion. It is targeting.

Exactly. :oops:


The beauty of this (and most) sites is the fact that if a person doesn't like a particular subject/post...we're not forced to comment. :shrug:
