To all Bike Riders

I thought I should contribute to this issue as a Bikie myself.  Safety is
utmost when riding a motorbike.  Wear your helmet and if its law - it is
good - just do it.  Stop complaining for f.sake.  If you want to
live you have to wear a helmet.  This goes for the pilion passenger too not
just the rider.

Regards

Subject: [GOANET] Once again the helmet issue...



 Here we go again with the helmet issue... It was all of a sudden
 implemented last year. Then after the helmet manufacturers, dealers  the
 politicians made their money, the rule was scrapped as suddenly as it was
 imposed. Definitely looks like they didn't make enough, so here they go
 once again this year.

 Everyone knows that it is safe to wear a helmet while riding because you
 never know when it's going to be your bad day. You could be riding
 carefully, but someone else could knock you down, or you could skid due to
 a puncture or oil on the road there could be a lot of silly excuses
for
 an accident. So it would definitely be safe to wear a helmet.

 But then besides accidents caused by carelessness, there are those which
 are caused due to pure negligence of the government.

 Before enforcing the helmet rule, there are a whole lot of other hazardous
 excuses for accidents which the government should give priority to first.
 To mention just a few: stray cattle, stray dogs, improper road lighting,
 proper levelling of roads dug up for laying of pipelines / cables / water
 connections, full headlights blinding other drivers on the road, ban on
 using blaring air horns which startle other drivers, proper traffic sign
 boards, direction boards,  there are still some more to add, but
 let the government work on these for starters.

 Once all the above have been looked into  then the helmet rule is
imposed,
 then only riders will be convinced that the government is really concerned
 about our safety. Right now everyone knows the obvious reasons for the
 sudden enforcing of the rule.

 And to all other riders  drivers, each one knows that it is a privilege
 for us drive  each of us has a right on the road, and just as our lives
 are precious of us, think of the rest on the road too. Drive carefully,
 don't over-take without horning, don't over-take from the left side, use
 indicators when turning I'm not teaching you. You know how to drive.
 You simply didn't get a license without knowing how to. or did you pay
 a bribe to get one?

Re: [GOANET] Condemning the US!

2003-01-25 Thread Damian Lobo 



Hello there Bernado

You have hit the nail right on the head! my friend, 
these are double standards of the Indian Government. It is also a reminder 
to all the Indians and other Goans who are not aware that in the annexation of 
Goa, it was in fact annexation and not liberation that the Indians make it 
believe. History cannot be changed. All Indians to take cognizance 
of this fact! The Goans had no say in choosing their future when India 
annexed Goa in 1961.

Regards

Damian

  Aren't the views of the Indian Minister hypocritical in 
  condemning the US intentions, when his own country ignored the UN resolutions 
  1514 (XV), 1541 (XV) and 1542 (XV) and annexed Goa, Daman and Diu in 1961?

Good Luck, I say!  You can have all the documents in the world but to
actually obtain a Portuguese Passport is almost impossible.
