Luther: You are being a jerk!! I think you make comments like that just to see how many feathers you can ruffle. Don't you have anything better to do with your morning? Maybe you should go out and check to see how may of the accidents this morning were due to women. NOT. It is people like you, who feel superior, that make the mistakes and cause others to get hurt. You feel like you do not wrong. How many children do you have? Don't know... but 2 or 3 of them are girls.

Oh and one more thing Luther, I hope you don't live anywhere near me because I'd hate to be out on the road with you, how much of a safe driver could you be, your not even sure how many kids you have according to your post on November 18th @ 7:47pm.

Hey Luther I don't know where you get your information but it is a known fact that men statistically have worse driving records than women hence the reason why men pay a higher insurance rate.
