Is Everything Illegal in America?
Posted:
#5
its always interesting to me how certain groups of people are for more personal choices, rights and freedoms for americans...
while other groups of people are hell bent on trying to intrusively use government to limit, take away, regulate, control, track and strip americans of personal choices, rights and freedoms

Just curious... where are you from?
Could you give me an example of a law that's in place to protect Americans?
With all due respect, you're way off base. The laws exist because of many reasons, none of which have anything to do with protecting the citizens because they don't know what's "good" for them. Besides, the people making the laws do not care what is good for the people. To think otherwise is foolish.

.............ouchsty........that's called the Dunning-Kruger Effect...
C'mon SC............Social Security to seat belts and a million other programs / laws.....we are a nation of entitled / fat / stupid / narcissistic jack-azzes in denial.........that need a LOT of help
*ironically our weaknesses in decision making.....are maybe
best exposed in gambling
It is better to be feared - than to be loved.

the more rules made and laws passed, more likely there will be citizen indifference and disobedience, its the wrong approach.
go to somewhere like amsterdam where all the vices in life are "tolerated", you barely even seen any police or crimes being committed, if you take off the constraints, people will respond in kind.

The seat belt law wasn't put in place to protect us. It was put in place to make it easy for the local governments to cash in on violations.

All that, plus you missed the most glaring one - Lawsuits.....
When you can sue for millions AND WIN because your McDonald's coffee was too hot, or you get hurt robbing someone's home by getting stuck in their chimney, that's the reason we live in a "Police State" - and the reason there's directions on a bottle of shampoo......
And you better not disagree with my point of view, or
I'll SUE YOUR A$$!!!!!!!

100% true
But it is the Corporate Fukks who run the show (with Judges and both political parties in hip pocket) and they subscribe to the old adage, "Divide and Conquer". Just keep the masses fighting amongst themselves.

As your attorney.....I advise you to turn back....while you still can...........
*as I hate to see a good man like yourself suffer
NOPE......wrong again
*and that wise-azz STY didn't say "to protect us".....just that we needed help.....which really can't be argued
The SEAT BELT LAW........
*was passed (by STATE legislatures) as a result of AUTOMAKERS (AM) LOBBYING EFFORTS.....
WHY? .....a federal law was passed requiring AM to install AIR BAGS.......by 1990 or so
The AM said.....WTF?....this is gonna be way too expensive
SO.....Sec of Trans. Elizabeth Dole said..........OK...if you POS can get 2/3 of state legislatures to pass SEAT BELT LAWS.....I'll back off the air bag requirement........
93 MILLION DOLLARS (of lobbying) LATER .......POOF!.....our politicians dearly care for our safety...and just want to make our roads safer!.............
Note: all women seemingly.....and most men buy this BS
Federal grants ....were also given to states with a high number of SB compliance
In 2001 the SUPREME COURT...........
RULED........that it was perfectly cool for police to ARREST / HANDCUFF / JAIL / IMPOUND the car......of a woman in Texas stopped for not using seat belts for herself or 2 small kids......
*why is it seemingly always Texas.............?
About 10 yrs ago.....I got a ticket for no SB by a state trooper
*making (around) 6 figures / writing SB tickets wtf
As I passed thru a toll-gate / reaching into my pockets....he nailed me as I was reaching to put my SB back on...still by toll booth/motionless........ THEN >>
*he lost the ticket / I demanded to pay it anyway (didn't want to worry about it).....they refused ......2 years later I was stopped > thrown in JAIL for about 7-8 hours....(warrant for my arrest due to unpaid ticket).....$650 cash later......I was a free man....they even let me have my car back! .....($300)......Thanks Texas!....Thanks America!............................................

there's directions on a bottle of shampoo........
.................sorry missed this
.................sorry missed this THIS happens to be my default argument closer..........
*how many times do you shampoo your hair?
Regrettably.....every chick I've dated follows those directions........why?.....because "um THEY know what's best for me!".....rolling their eyes
"errr......damm baby did you ever consider the shampoo lasts half as long?..... also stripping your hair of the natural oils?.....then requiring a conditioner?
*"um......you're just cynical !!!".......
