Bicycles, by definition, present little danger to the public.

Including to the cyclist themselves?

I have to wear a seatbelt when I drive my motor vehicle. Because not to do so creates an additional cost to society. Bicycles present an even greater risk/cost.

Now, if you are advocating a society where everyone is responsible for their own care and expenses. And the idiots who shoot through stop signs will just have to be cared for as brain-damaged cripples by their own families with no socialized health care, then let's talk.

... to look at this: Accquisition of eBay might distract GameStop from its core market. Games, consoles and game-associated collectibles. I have no doubt that gamers might be unsatisfied with the "eBay experience" when buying used gear there. But in the grand scheme of things, they are a relatively smaller market there than in a GameStop store. And that dilution will carry through to the new combined entiity. Don't like eBay? Get ready for a GameStop that has other customers to appease before you.

Why not? All they do is to re-write perfectly good web applications into Android/iOS apps. And then cry pitifully when I just keep using the browser-based one.

Or over at Microsoft, all they seem to do is to find different places to hide their menus.

This.

Growing plants is all about providing a balance of nutrients. Anyone who has ever checked out the N-P-K rating of lawn fertalizer knows this. You can dump as much CO2 on a plant and it will do little good beyond a point.

Shame you got modded down so harshly for a valid point. But this was supposed to be a "CO2 Bad, mkay?" thread.
