It shows that you own a "Harley". You probably smoke. You probably feel compelled to portray a "Bad Boy" image by not following the rules, and I insulted you when I mentioned a "Biker" lit up right next to a gas pump.
Your instinctive reaction was to come to the defense of an unknown fellow biker by making fun of the situation, and accuse me of being uptight. Your response that ignorance is bliss simply validates your irresponsibility and lack of concern for the safety of others around you.
I never said gas stations were blowing up everywhere. (Another juvenile tactic to trivialize my comments). Most fires at gas stations happen by accident because of static electricity. The key word here is "ACCIDENT", in other words, not intentional.
Lighting up at a gas pump is an "INTENTIONAL" act. If some fumes should happen to ignite, you would be responsible for any property damage, bodily injury, or death your irresponsible act might cause.
If it's all a big joke to you, maybe you should spend some time visiting some kids in a "Burn Ward" at your local hospital and see how much "Bliss" they're having.
Yeah, you're probably right. I'm just too uptight,
