Open Question: Why are cyclists treated so softly?

As a car driver I ahve had to pass a test of competency, my car has an annual MOT, it is raod taxed and insured to make it road legal. Yet it is legal to take a bike onto the roads, or in Britain`s case, the pavements without the rider having to have any proof of competency, roadworthiness of his vehicle or insurance should he injure someone. Well you look guys last week I hired a van and was stopped at lights. Up my nearside came a girl on a bike. I could look she had no intention of stopping at the lights. She couldn`t look if the green man was on, if someone was crossing in front of my van and from her point of view she couldn`t look the junction until she was in it.

Open Question: What is your definition of a 'bad' feminist?

When I'm out on my bike, I often look other cyclists cutting in front of driver, cycling across junctions on a red light, skipping from the pavement to the road, terrorising both drivers and pedestrians and I hate it - bad cyclists give us every a bad name! So in a similar vein - what is your definition of a 'bad' feminist? Here are a few I thought of to receive the ball rolling... Someone who secretly thinks women ARE superior and everything would be much better if women were just in charge. Someone who is more interested in name-calling, ranting and mud-slinging than actually arguing their point or discussing anything with an open mind. Someone who relies on sleepy arguments and stereotypes about men and women, despite supposedly believing in equality. What else can you think of? :-)

Open Question: I'm in a new relationship and I need help, I think I'm screwing up :S PLEASE HELP?

Okay so my current boyfriend and I both broke up with our exs around 3 months ago. I do like him A LOT, I don't adore him yet, and it will take time for me to open up, he on the other hand does adore me already. I'm pretty shy when I'm around him. I think he tried making some moves on me where I screwed up. Like, he's said he loves me and I've been silent because I can't say it back to him yet =/ and we like have texting sprees from like across the room. He'll arrive to meet me below my building, even if its for say 2 minutes! Oh, the other day we were hanging out with friends and he was totally checking me out, and he had this mirror in his hand, and he goes 'i feel like kissing something' and is staring directly at me, and then he kisses his mirror and stares at me, and I blush and turn my head the other side..around 10 mins after that he's sitting on his bike checking me out again when he randomly goes 'guys can you give us a few minutes alone' and I freaked out, so I go 'nooo' which pissed him very much. I was wrong, I know, but I did what my instinct said at that time. Do you think he wanted to kiss me? The next day he told my pal that he made a move and I screwed up and how many times can you give me these moves.. ;S Now lately he's not making any moves, and honestly, I have to say now I have realized I am starting to adore him, and I am ready to respond to him.. but he's not made a move lately..and I don't know why. Should I make a tiny hint? I'm VERY shy around him still.. we've not held hands yet. (we're just completing a month) Anyway.. what should I do? What hint can I give him? My pal said that I should stand next to him so it will give him the feeling that I'm 'his' because whenever we hang I always stand opposite him. Anyway, any tiny hints I could give? I don't wanna make it too obvious.. Any other advice too would be great.. I really like this guy, I want to make things right, so PLEASE help me.

Open Question: Selling a moped for an XBOX360?

My dad gave me an 07 Honda Metropolitan last year and it has about 6,000 miles on it. I really want an XBOX360 because I want to play the new Fallout 3 game. Not only that I want to buy the Oblivion game and also the Deep Space game. I dont have any money in my bank account and I am honestly quite broke at the moment. I found a couple of things I can sell and I think the moped could receive me atleast $500. That would be enough money for the console which I can receive for about $250. And 3 games. I could also receive a charger too. So do you think its okay to sell the moped to receive an XBOX360? I hardly ride around on the moped because I dont have a lot of money for gas. I usually ride a bike and occasionally ride the moped if I am feeling lazy. Wondering if this would upset my dad?

Open Question: The Biker and the Old Lady.....?

A husky biker stopped by the local Harley store to have his bike fixed. They couldn't repair it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a pail and an anvil. He also stopped by the feed store and livestock dealer and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem: how to carry every of his purchases home. While he is scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, can you tell me how to receive to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?" The biker said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live at 1616 Mockingbird Lane. I would walk you home but I can't carry this stuff." The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the anvil in the pail, carry the pail in one hand, put a chicken below each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Why thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he said "Let's take my short clip and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time." The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me." "How do I know that when we receive in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall and have your way with me?" The biker said, "Holy smokes lady!?! I'm carrying a pail, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?!?" the lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the pail, put the anvil on top of the pail, and I'll hold the chickens."

why this guy is not replying my message? ? I met this guy last week in a pub. we kissed that night n he got my number. we went on a date a few days ago. Everything seems fine. He took me to a bar and we had a great time. Then we spent some time on the balcony of a building and cuddling. Then we had sex. i know it's a bad move to have sex on a first date. But then i asked him whether he wants to ride a bike this weekend he said "sure if he doesn't have to work and asked where're we going". Then i told him the place this morning but still couldn't receive his message yet. Is that simply because he doesn't know what to answer or he changed his mind? If he just wants sex why he said he would like to hang out? Help me pls. p.s. he usually replies my message pretty quick and if he replied tardy he would apologize . that's why i don't know what's going on. i like him so so much. the sex happened few days ago n we were still talking to each other yesterday. we already planned to going out this Sunday. just after he asked me the location he didn't answer anymore. it's not need to answer that message?

Open Question: What is the best motor scooter to buy for RELIABILITY and economy?

I'm just looking for an "around town" scooter with the possibility of a short road trip on rare occasion. I am NOT mechanically inclined nor am I wealthy so I am looking for a bike that would require as few repairs or as little maintenance as possible. Also hopefully something very good on gas as I'm sure the prices will sky-rocket eventually. I've been thinking about the 400 or 650 Suzuki Burgman but one review said they are a maintenance nightmare and terribly costly to have worked on. I'm also looking into Yamaha Majesty 400. I'm a larger guy (6'3" and 210lb) so I don't want too tiny of a scooter and I am shying away from actual motorcycles because most of my riding will be in town and I don't want to be shifting continually. Please help!
