I do see your point and do see a flaw in the parent’s punishment.
Yes, I’d like the chance to become a vegetable mother to my son. What cracks me up? Parents and children riding together - the kids have helmets, the parents don’t. I’ve heard that Taurus commercial and the reason I figured they brought in safety message (which I don’t equate with Taurus) is because Ford owns Volvo. For refusing to wear a bicycle helmet, the logical consequence is: no bicycle. MB: Only a parent would see the problem, because only a parent would know that the consequence has to be related to the behavior. The wording and logic was a little bit off, in my opinion. You can still “ride safely” without a helmet, the helmet protects your head in the event of an accident. I do, however, have a problem with the saftey analogy as others have mentioned. I am not a parent, but I don’t see much a problem with the saying in question. If my child rides without a helmet, I’m keeping the Atari 2600 for myself! : ) That slightly odd comparison perplexed me a bit. It just seemed odd to me because the helmet isn’t built, but yet the car is…for safety. There’s just no making every reader delighted, unfortunately.īob: Ah, I get it now. This wasn’t an example of extreme nitpicking by any means, but I have certainly heard very peculiar “helpful comments” from customers reported back to me from clients. Inconsistences definitely detract, and some detract more than others. Maybe the Xbox means more to the kid than the bicycle? Michael: I think they meant what you mean: the helmet or Taurus does not enhance your skill - it keeps you safe in case of accident. On the contrary, there might be an increased chance of the driver riding in an unsafe manner (because the safety equipment/features make him overly confident). Likewise, a car being built for safety cannot cause someone to drive safer. My riding skills are not enhanced because of my protective equipment. Same reason I wear an armoured riding jacket and boots. I don’t wear my motorcycle helmet to ride safely, I wear it so I can be protected in the event of an accident. >…just as you wear a bicycle helmet to ride your bike safely, you need a car built for safety - like Taurus - to drive safely. I think the Taurus ad is in error because it the analogy seems wrong: You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.ĩ,158 responses about “Is Taurus Full of Bull?” You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.
