Yeah, i've definitely debated things in the Mk1 section, but these are areas where i have control and have researched, or attempted to at least increase my knowledge in the area. I also like a debate, hell i can debate with myself and happily present an argument for or against almost anything, but that doesn't mean i'm right and can almost always appreciate both sides of an argument!
An example of this is the area of 'suspension', you can read into suspension setup for a lifetime and still not know everything or be able to make a conclusion on what set-up/style/system is best, for that reason you won't find me pushing any particular theory as correct. The removal of the front anti-roll bar is a great example, there's people saying this is 100% the way to go, whereas others find this blaspheme as 'of course you need one'. I've read theories and have decided to trial it as i like the theory, that doesn't mean it's right, but i can at least test it and see if it works for me. If it does, maybe i can form a solid opinion on it and cram it in every post going forwards in the knowledge that i've tested it and it works, or vice-versa.
Regarding vaccines, i don't have a child, so from an unbiased point of view i'd say it could well cause Autism or it might not. If i had a child then i do know i would be getting them vaccinated, again i have no research to suggest either way and the majority of professionals agree it is safe, so i'd have no problem with getting it and also wouldn't feel an ounce of guilt if it caused negative side effects, as i would be relying on experts advice who are paid to know better then me.
So how can anyone, without any possibility of conducting their own research in the real world, regarding either Global Warming or 'Brexit', make their decision and stand by it 100%? You can't possibly, you can only hold your own opinion and should respect other people's.
Being right or wrong can surely only be measured at a certain point? A year from now the economy could be down the pan and it could be regarded as the wrong choice... but what happens if 2 years on the economy is then booming, is that because of, or in spite of Brexit?! :lol: It seems to be 50% of "experts" wanted it one way and 50% the other, so i hate that the next best solution is to ask a bunch of people who haven't got a clue what should happen.
To be honest i do think Global warming is a real thing although not necessarily an issue, i don't believe anyone knows how much man contributes to it, from there it's then reasonable to conclude that i don't know how much i contribute to it, so for that reason i won't let it effect anything i do. What's the point in not living the few years you have how you want to, on the basis that you may or may not be influencing the global climate? When i want to cycle to work i do, but not because of emissions, when i want to burn copious amounts of fuel on a track i do, when i turn the heating off it's because i hate being too hot and like saving money and when i want to have bonfire i do it (As long as the neighbors not got the washing out, i'm not a complete a-hole!) :lol: If you're conscious of the issue and actively seek a way to reduce your own carbon footprint, then good on you, i would assume that's because it's what you want to do however, not necessarily because it's the right thing to do!
