Topic	Should seatbelts be mandatory?
Smarkil 12/19/20 1:32:05 PM #32:	streamofthesky posted... What? I don't even know what "point" you're trying to make. Perhaps you somehow think the same speeds / force of impact / etc... are required for someone to be thrown from a motorcycle as it requires for someone to fly out of a car (especially through a windshield) are are just embarrassing yourself publicly in that fashion? Or you're an advocate for removing helmet laws for motorcyclists? Or some other angle? You tell me. The point is that this narrative of "YOU GET THROWN THROUGH WINDSHIELD AND HURT OTHER PEOPLE" is completely unfounded. There's no statistical data other than 'well it could happen maybe'. And yes, I'm absolutely an advocate for removing motorcycle helmet laws because they're stupid. I've had a motorcycle for about 14 years now and I nearly always wear my helmet. Why? Because I want to. The government doesn't need a law to keep me from killing myself. That's fucking stupid. Seat belt laws are another chicken shit way cops get to pull people over for no fucking reason and it's what results in people going to jail or getting shot far more often than it should be. Cop sees a black dude not wearing his seat belt and pulls him over, 'Oh I pulled you over cause you weren't wearing your seat belt smells like you have weed in there better pull you out and cuff you'. Let people do what they want. If they wanna die, that's on them. If your goal as a lawmaker is to try and get people to stop killing themselves then outlaw motorcycles all together. Outlaw skydiving. Outlaw rock climbing. We don't want those people to die right? --- I promise that if the game stinks I will make a topic about how I hate it and you can all laugh at me - Mead on Fallout 76 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:948529475] in Should sea...
