J Baker hates cyclists

http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/mailbag/Reason-drivers-do-not-love.5655289.jp

J Baker feels a lack of love for cyclists because one time a cyclist ran a red light against J Baker's right of way. So, naturally, as J Baker points out, that is why J Baker does not love cyclists. J Baker writes further to explain that no motorists love any cyclists. J Baker thrusts home a brilliantly crafted argument by undeniably bringing up the point that "all" of "us" have seen cyclists riding on sidewalks/pavements. Finally, J Baker deals a crushing rhetorical blow by showing us a powerful logical link: the fact that "we all" have seen cyclists riding on sidewalks/pavements proves that all cyclists believe that no traffic laws apply to them. Deft and stunning, J Baker. Deft and stunning.

J Baker has since been seen refusing to love:
- all people in wheelchairs because J Baker saw a person in a wheelchair spit on the ground
- all dogs because J Baker read a news story about a dog hurting a child
- all women because a woman cut in front of J Baker in line at the grocery store
- all people who look Arabic because RCMP arrested a person who looked Arabic
- all men because a male politician once expressed an opinion that was the opposite of J Baker's opinon on the same topic
- all hammers because hammers sometimes hit people on the thumb causing people great pain
- all motorists because motorists sometimes fail to yield appropriate right of way to cyclists and almost or do injure cyclists

Also, J Baker has been heard to say on several occasions "Dang you punks, stay off my lawn!"

Thanks, J, for the laughs!

  1. J Baker is doing a wonderful job of representing the logical fallacy of hasty generalization:

    Good for you, J Baker! Keep up your assault on rationality! Fight the good fight!
