going to rant here

Mine is with parents or grandparents that mow the grass on a riding mower or tractor while holding their kid in their lap.

A very young girl was killed when I was in high school because the tractor hit a bump, the grandparent lost his grip, and the girl was run over by the tractor and bush hog.

I'm in good company then.

Not saying the other things are ok but it doesn't justify that action either..

Why should my son not be allowed to ride his ATV? Helmet, gloves, long sleeves, pants, boots, and a competent adult to teach and guide him along the way. According to your attitude, this picture depicts child abuse. If you really think that, you're way out of line and so far off base it's unconscionable.

Personally I have no problem with it....but I can see why it could be an issue....at least they are outside getting exercise and learning a skill.....sitting in a tanning bed does nothing good for anyone....lol

name a positive a child learns from going to a tanning bed?

In addition to riding ATVs, my son is with me when I go hunting, when I set and check my traps, goes fishing with me, watches me work on my vehicles, has his own .22 rimfire rifle and target shoots with me. Parents today shield their children from life too much.

Cancer awareness?

Skip the gas burning, noise making ATV and make the fuckers walk to learn more about hunting, fishing, and survival without an engine attached to the groin. Since when is riding a motor bike a good way to learn anything other than spending money? FFS, I know I enjoy the silence in the woods around me, or the sounds (another version of silence) that go with being there without a motor, a fuck of a lot more than hearing a 4 stroke.

Tanning beds?...motor sports....they draw similar crowds. Want to call me out on that? Give me a chick that hits a tanning bed, or a guy that wants his lady to look like she's been in one, that doesn't like watching a circle track race.
