[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1565932, member: 239"] Well - HELL YEAH! Let's just go ahead and restrict the RIGHTS of the many to protect the rights of a few. Damn man I think you're on to something. It's a fact that old people have more car accidents than young people so lets just draw a line at age 70 and say no one over 70 can drive. That'll save lives. And while we're at it lots of lives lost every year due to drunk driving. Can't have that so lets just take away the priviledge to drive altogether. Guaranteed to save lives. Knives are sharp - ban 'em. No more getting cut. People drown in swimming pools. No more swimming pools and kids drown in buckets and bathtubs so lets just eliminate those too. People choke on food and die all the time. So lets just eliminate food! Getting kind'a rediculous huh? Try to understand Koshinn. [B]You punish people that irresponsibly exercise rights. You do not restrict the rights of those who exercise them responsibly because a few do not.[/B] Freedom isn't free and it damn sure isn't safe. There's absolutely an inverse relationship between the amount of freedom a people have and how safe they are. Personally I choose freedom. The Darwin award candidates will weed themselves out soon enough and the gene pool will be a lot cleaner. The irresponsible and criminally irresponsible and the evil ones among us will be taken care of by the law for actions that cause harm to others. Again the gene pool will be a lot cleaner.
