None of that faux safety concern. I don't understand your post I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notwell Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Why does it bother you? People die or get seriously injured doing various pursuits every single day. All over the world.
