Wouldn't your argument hold true for those people also? WHo are you or the government to tell people how to raise or provide for the safety of their kids?
The problem is that when you smear your brains, it does hurt other people. I costs us in insurance premiums and tax dollars for additional public services to render aid. If you are willing to forgo any and all public assistance, I am all game for it. I view it as natural selection. If you are dumb enough not to wear appropriate safety equipment, then great, weed out those weak genes...
Good point grass hopper... but I would only be hurting/killing myself where those parents would be hurting/killing thier innocent kids. Plus it gives the popo and EMTs job security..
Please do not call me grasshopper as that is a personal attack and I will be forced to report your post and .... never mind, I wear big boy drawers.
Yes, but that is not the same. Parents for all practical purposes own(I know that is probably ot the best way of putting it) their children and have more leaway in comntrolling and raising them than they due strangers. Of course, we have the state to define for us what child abuse is.
So in states without a helmet law then you must not have any issue with not wearing a helmet since it is not illegal and you are all about upholding our fine laws?
As long as their is no monetary risk for the rest of us, you are correct. It has been a while, but I think when we had the no helpmet law, there was some kind of bond or rider you had to have on your insurance. I could be wrong though.
When we lived in Georgia there was no seatbelt law if you were in a pickup truck. Every other vehicle you had to wear your seatbelt. It was kind of silly that you needed it for cars/SUVs but since I had a truck i didn't mind. My wife thinks they changed it this year.
I just think it should be a personal choice...
ersonal choice". The problem is the karger one where government in already infiused in our daily lives, so while we know it is unrealistic to get them completely out, it becomes more a matter of taming the beast.
Or tint.
there is a place stating that.... the manufacturer or every motor vehicle supplies an OWNER'S MANUAL, usually stashed in the glove compartment, which states how to properly operate and maintain your vehicle, including how to use the safety restraints.
