    According to your theory, we should actually OUTLAW seatbelts

    "When subjects who normally did not wear seat belts were asked to do so, they were observed to drive faster, followed more closely, and braked later. In other words, people who are naturally cautious voluntarily choose to wear seat belts, and voluntarily drive safely. When reckless people are forced to wear seat belts, they “compensate” for the increased safety by driving more recklessly. Furthermore, no jurisdiction that has passed a seat belt law has shown evidence of a reduction in road accident death."

    Stopping in traffic to look at your cell phone is safer than pulling off the travelled portion of the roadway and stopping?!? That's just plain crazy.

    That's right. You're a Ron Paul isolationist.

    Not one?

    How many then?

    How many rat's asses do you actually have?

    Moreover, what are you doing with all these rat's asses?

    Panzer, you'll have to forgive him for calling you an idiot. He apes his living god Ron Paul and anyone who disagrees with the great Paul's deranged ideas about government regulation is the target of a barrage of insults. It's the trademark of Paultards.

    Usually I eat them. With how much money I am taxed so that people can receive free handouts, I do not have enough money to buy anything except rats asses to eat.

    I don't recall insulting anyone, and I did not mean to. I was simply pointing out that who cares about other governments when in a political debate. They have no influence over me...

    Sounds like you need a new job.

    Maybe one that doesn't involve so much time wasting on the phone (when instead, you should be concentrating on driving).

    Nahh. i won't waste my time. I could not find anything on either side of the argument from a recognizable credible source. so we can drop that issue if you would like, although i agree with what it says. It was done by some Independence institute group they did a little study or whatever.

    You made that sh*t up, didn't you? Shame on you. Jesus but you are desperate. No wonder you support Ron Paul.

    Notice how danboy has gone strangely silent. It's called embarassment over losing his credibility here.

    You can easily prove that by giving us the link to your source.

    Last chance laddie.

    That is why I decided not to pursue it. I see alot of argument on both sides of it though.

    My posts should establish me as ultra conservative. But I cannot agree with you.

    FREEDOM REQUIRES personal responsibility. People do NOT have the right to be complete idiots when their idiotic actions harm others. A balance must exist to compensate for the irresponsibility that liberalism teaches. So we have to have some onerous laws because we have some onerous people.
