I hope you aren't just trying to evade my question.I already asked.

I don't consent to being asked that question.

Unfortunately, that's necessary in many cases. Seat belts for instance. People are, by and large, absolutely stupid to the point of lunacy. You can tell them 1000 times that wearing a seat belt can save their life.Are you attempting to say that a person should put their hands in somebodies else pocket WITHOUT the others persons consent ?

They refuse to do it.
You can show them pictures, statistics, and all that jazz about how many fatalities would have never happened if the people had simply buckled up.
They still wont do it.
So then you make it a law. You have to. Why? Because the death rate in simple accidents hits levels beyond the pale, driving up insurance rates, accident response costs, court costs, investigative costs and everything else in between.
You know what? Some people STILL wont buckle up.
But those who do now because of that law have dropped the fatality rate in HUGE chunks. Countless thousands of lives saved, money saved, hardship saved by passing a simple law because people are, sorry to say, idiots.
A man I admire greatly, Mr. George Washington, once said, "You can not legislate morality". He of course was absolutely correct. But you can legislate common sense. In fact, you have to.

indeed.Democrats are the big government party.
how the south voted:the parties switched sides........and theres no evidence for that.
you said civil rights were "not a good idea" because you would just "hate 'em more now".You charge that I am not into equal rights is laughable
the fucking irony is palpable.I hope you aren't just trying to evade my question.
JokeIt does? How so?
Palpable = so intense as to SEEM almost tangible.the fucking irony is palpable.
Probably not, but you seem reluctant to tell me what it is .I hope you're not trying to evade mine.
I'm sorry I left without your permission. I'll try not to let it happen again. So, what would you like answered ?

To do otherwise would remove the right OF an individual to choose their associations and would sanction the use of offense force, by the person who insists on the association. I think human interactions should arise from peaceful, voluntary and consensual means, don't you?Third times the charm:
Question for you: why do you feel it is ok for a person to discriminate against someone based on personal biases?

So, Poopy Pants, can you delegate a right you don't have?
Probably not, but you seem reluctant to tell me what it is .

So, based on your "logic" all those deaths caused by government could be prevented if we got rid of government ?

And that helps lower insurance for all. I've found the more people have to lose the more they tend to care. Not money but better life choices are the reason some have more money. Not all. People with money tend to have better hygiene than winos. Some just make better choices. It's best for those that don't make good choices to gently nudge them in the direction to help lower our insurance is a good thing.Unfortunately, that's necessary in many cases. Seat belts for instance. People are, by and large, absolutely stupid to the point of lunacy. You can tell them 1000 times that wearing a seat belt can save their life.

I agree with peaceful interactions. I do not agree that we get to choose who those interactions are with unless we personally segregate ourselves from persons we don't want to interact with.To do otherwise would remove the right OF an individual to choose their associations and would sanction the use of offense force, by the person who insists on the association. I think human interactions should arise from peaceful, voluntary and consensual means, don't you?
