POLL Seatbelt law?

[Boomboom521]

I hear the board conservatives always harp about how gubment needs to shrink until we need to bomb fvckers overseas, but I’m not totally sure that’s a uniform stance. And board liberals always seem to want the gubment to step in and save the weak minded. So on something like the seatbelt law, should we just let those fools crash through the windshield and make it one less moron in the world? Or should we let Uncle Sam be their momma?

overall I think there should be one but I was involved in an accident in the 70's where if I had been wearing one I would be dead according to sheriffs office

I don’t think there should be a law. Common sense or survival of the fittest.

I’m in favor of pulling Narcan off the streets as well. I’d rather let the epidemic burn itself out. No reason to waste money saving these people.

We’re not doing mankind any favors by diluting the gene pool with all of these morons. If we want to advance and adapt the species, we need to be willing to separate the wheat from the chaff.

LOL I love linking seatbelt laws to killing terrorists that have already killed Americans. How does that logic work?

Use safety devices or don’t - but be prepared for the consequences if you don’t. Same with idiots that are too cool to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.

We dont need to waist time & money to pass laws to protect adults from ourselves, dont mind spending taxpayer money on the research of it , but plain & simple it's none of anyone's business if I choose to run my head through a window.....

I believe there should be seatbelt laws for minors. Other than that...No. Government should not make laws protecting you from yourself. It's no one's business. Government should only be looking at laws that protect others from you.

I can see the minor aspect, that’s protecting kids from shitty parents.

Should we do away with AIDS research? Mother nature abhors abhorrent behavior

No...that research can protect many from others.

Seat belts save lives too. Just being devils advocate. AIDS is the result of risky behavior for the most part. As @DvlDog4WVU said, "we need to thin out the gene pool of stupid people."

Driving a car is a privilege and not a right. Seat belts are part of that privilege. Not speeding is the same.

Seat belts save lives too

Seatbelts potentially saves your life. In no way does you wearing a seatbelt or not, affect me. It should be your choice. Same as the helmet law. Ohio requires a seatbelt to drive but lets you ride a motorcycle without a helmet. There should be no seatbelt laws, but for minors.

Again, it's not a right but a privilege. Each state can makes it's own laws on this.

100% agree. We have to play by the rules. I just disagree with requiring a seatbelt. That said, law or not, I don't put my vehicle in drive until passengers and myself are wearing seatbelts.

I honestly wasn’t trying to connect the two. But I do notice that guns rights people claim they need the 2nd to protect themselves against the government - yet they allow the government’s military to grow unbelievably powerful, basically unchecked, above civilian rule of law, and funded to a higher degree than anything else in our nation.

Smal government and a massive defense sector seem counterintuitive, imo.

Defending our country against enemies foreign and domestic...a duty of gubment.

Being a nanny to morons...not a duty of government.

Ban autos and motorcycles. Use of asses and elephants only for transportation......

Yes, there should be a seat-belt law. Seat belts save lives and reduce the severity of injuries sustained in auto accidents. It ends up saving everyone money in the form of lower automobile insurance premiums and lower health insurance costs and premiums.

Yes...Government should have all power and control. It knows what's good for you better than you do.

You against speed limits too? Should we let people drive 55 in neighborhoods?

Your stupidity amazes me.

Did I say that? Speed limits protect others. Me wearing a seatbelt doesn't protect you or anyone else. Your lack of basic knowledge regarding your own argument doesn't amaze me much anymore. It happens so often, the element of surprise is gone.

And you wearing a seatbelt reduces my insurance premiums, just like my original post stated, moron.

Your name-calling adds nothing, but me wearing a seatbelt doesn't reduce your premiums.

Disagree? Prove it. Insured homes in California, for example, that are burned to the ground, raise everyone's insurance across the country. Hurricanes in the South? Yep...Insured or not, raises everyone's insurance.

Go talk with an Actuary.

Except for when you pay for the dumb fuc*s that don't wear their seatbelts.

I'm fine with killing olds and dummies or letting them just die naturally, but as a society in whole....we aren't there. In the mean time, we should do whatever we can to lower the costs for the decent people.

You made the claim. You back it up.
