thats the worst argument ever
see, the cool thing about america is its based on individual freedoms and rights, and the ability to say **** society
by assigning that utilitarian bull**** as a way of thinking, you now have introduced the basis for modern socialism
if someone doesnt wanna wear a seatbelt thats fine, let them pay with their life. if someone wants to smoke, thats fine let them pay with cancer. the problem here is everyone assumes that society has to pay for other peoples "bad choices" so maybe society should just have to choose whats right for everyone, good or bad choices be damned, its what society wants (and if what is playing on TV and the popular train of though being indicative of what society wants, well i dont want much to do with society.........am i anti-social? hell ya cause most people are retarded)
I'm not assuming I have to pay for other's bad choices. I'm positive i have to pay for other's bad choices. Your arse dies from no belt, family goes on welfare, we flip the bill. Obesity, that bag of fries that's gonna explode your heart well before you're supposed to die? There goes skilled labor and most likely a productive member of society, not to mention the collective cost of insurance do deal with having to pay for your oxygen. Now, if it were just you, great, we can cover the bill. But its the other millions of 'rebels' out there doing the very same thing. Millions and millions of rebels doing the exact same thing. It's like the blandest Anarchist high school prom ever. There's wisdom in showing a bit of self restraint, don't get so darn fat, put on the seat belt. Those are pretty simple things to do, and if collectively millions and millions of rebels simply said "no, thank you" to the second piece of cheese cake, I bet ya our insurance costs will definitely go down. Less people getting sick cause they've got a pig stuck inside their arterial walls, or paying to raise three kids cause their less the responsible mother decided her brain needed to be let free across the highway rather than take 2 seconds to wear a seat belt.
