    not sure, I was posing it as much as stating it? I understand the point of not needed the government to protect us from ourselves, but at the same time this philosophy is in place in so many ways.
    unfortunately, there are plenty of ignorant people out there who DO need legal protection from themselves.

    My problem with littering laws is that they turn failure to provide bins into a money maker. It creates an incentive to make people litter.

    this is quite possibly the most ignorant thing I have ever read

    get over yourself. you never get mad for getting a ticket? its not like i really knocked the bitch out! (she was a bitch, btw.)


    at my home state they can't pull you over for not wearing a seatbelt, but can give you a ticket for not wearing one if you get pulled over for something else. I'm just gonna show up at court and say i had it on and the bitch was blind and shouldnt be loooking in my car anyway. i'm sure that will work!
    so wait, do you also not wear seatbelts on roller coasters?

    -Any Seatbelt law ANYWHERE. To actually people in our society driving around in cars and ticketing others for not wearing the seatbelt that came with their car is fascism. FAS - SHISM :)
    So, what do as i do as a paramedic when i come across these irresponsible people who are laying mangled on the road because they didn't have a seat belt on, or have horrific head injuries because they were riding their motor cycles without a helmet?

    Do i ignore them because the severity of their injuries are compounded because they chose not to wear one?
    or
    Do i take them to the Emergency Department so that the already overworked Doctor's and Emergency staff can try put them back together again?
    or
    Do i attend to them and leave other patients that may require attention?

    I feel really strongly about this, because it's not always about 'what is right for you'. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to think about the effects your actions might have on others.

    It's a disgusting sight. Seatbelts and helmets were designed to prevent serious injuries. Why wouldn't anyone want to do what they can to protect themselves? I don't get it.

    I love cyber hoolies who hide behind daddy's computer posting insults without actually backing them up. Do you live in the UK? Because if you don't I'd say you're not really qualified to comment on what lengths the main political parties in my country will and won't go to to make money. Jog on mug.

    Shoplifting the poody....can also be illegal...depending...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Plus it is not like any police department anywhere in the world is making littering arrests a number one priority. It is not like they are taking detectives off of homicide cases to find out who threw their Mcdonalds bag out their car window. But if a cop does see someone doing that they should have the power to do something about it.

    That's a good point. I think they should have a special unit just for littering! :p The depth of people's laziness and carelessness never ceases to amaze me.

    But imo none of the laws that were listed by the author are crazy.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I always wear my seatbelt. In 2 posts you've told me I'm ignorant and wrong without saying why. What will your next post be? "I done your mum for a 5er"?

    i dont know either... before ralph nader... no one questioned what was in a hot dog :)

    but regardless of the absurdities and the negligence... there is a lot more at risk when you give other individuals the right to decide for you whats best for you and what isnt.. each law that is created like this takes away from that thing that goes off in your head (your mind) that says..hmm.. should I wear this?? if this isnt happening... you will lose the ability to reason.. and i think over time... this can lead to serious miscommunications between

    A. a person who thinks for themselves and is reasonable
    vs.
    B. a person whop can no longer reason and has forgotten how to handle their own thoughts.


    potentially dangerous

    kinetically wrong

    any blue law in any state.

    The legal closing of alcohol selling establishments because of the time of day or day of the week. The restrictions of what stores can sell some sort of alcohol because it is a "sin" or something like that. Laws against drinking alcohol contaning beverages "in public" (Public Drunkeness is different if you're indangering the public that's one thing simply drinking a beverage on the side walk is another)

    most morality based laws are utterly retarded too.


    I think we go out of our way policing non violent or not disruptive behaviors in the US and it's just a waste of time.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I think this is ridiculous also.

    Pjgurl... you are right...


    The sad part is , we still live in a society who doesnt care about wearing seatbelts .. i mean, why the fuck wouldnt you wear one? Its right there.. it takes about .10 seconds to put it on ...



    Shame :(





    And thank GOODNESS for seat belt laws (i admit they can be frustrating at times.. when you are just running out for a second) Honestly though, its in affect to simply save your life, how can you complain about that? Besides, the worst that usually happens if a cop sees you with no seatbelt is he will tell you to put it on.. unless you get a dickhead cop... you won't even get in trouble. Thank goodness for the seatbelt laws. It has saved alot of children's lives because their are douchebag parents who still do not buckle up their kids.. which imo.. should carry a bigger punishment...

    Both..... a kid doesnt know they are suppose to wear a seatbelt, and if it isnt inforced by parents, its not the child's fault... A parent who doesnt give a shit (which believe me, they are around) might think twice if it will cost a few hundy ..thus... seatbelt laws = saves lives
