Adults shouldn't be forced to wear seat belts.

Now here come's the real debate... or does it? I feel sickened by the fact that we were here supposed to debate but why dont yout argue all that i said, you seemed to try to argue them by no direct attack was made. moving on ... You say that we are in a country of freedom, and that removing it will lead to totalitarianism, however we have to concede that to have freedom there shoould be certain restrictions, you're every action effect society living on a non lead country would cause for no society to possibly even be there. being that no control is apparent all individuals would do would be to strive for their own self, now we dont want people dying because one felt the need to without sufficient reason or more minutely you wouldnt want to be stripped off every possesion because someone was able to get it.. and then you wouldnt be able to do anything about it. This is clearly the idea you are pushing forth, all you do is destroy the progress society has made, living in a fantasy if yours is unethical --which you say i am the one fantasy based ideology but look to yourself-- i ask you now is this what you want your child to have in mind, to be able to do things whenever he wants to, all the things you probably would not even want him to be doing? Now you come with an analogy that "I was (you are) a responsible adult before the law, but after the law I am just a law abiding citizen." but there seems to be some irony in the statement, both seems to direct to the same result being responsible however there is a difference between them, which is that again the untouched point that laws become more credible in deeming individuals responsible due to the consequence it makes. This clearly is important in society today, you urge that people should be able to do things they want, however should you ought for others to do the careless things you want doing? your belief again comes into play that people should be responsible for their actions, how can you be responsible for your beliefs that can influence others, when others that would do the things you like doing, those things can be degradating for those influenced. maybe yourself belief seems proper but when you can effect others so that it harms them, are you not infringing on anothers self-rights. "As an American you have to right to be an idiot as long as you don't infringe of the rights of others." this you say but id like to say by that you propose you are infringing in the rights of others. You also ask the question where does it stop? leave the country. Although wearing helmets may not be that sufficient as it limits your view... which it already is(limited). Id like to say to that you have just insulted alot. you say we become retarded if we fallow laws. In it of itself it is a logical falacy. A copious amount of individuals even more capable than you follow the law, id say you have insulted everyone who follows it because all of them is more capable than you. I'm sorry for the harsh statements but all i say is based upon the flaw you show with yourself in how you think. Urge: you still have choice even if you are seemed to be forced and if you chose not to follow again you detriment yourself with the possibility of influencing others ...seat belt debate... -DaFlipster
