Ha you are the idiot that thinks others are dumb because they don't agree with you. Your didactic speech isn't convincing anybody. Can you answer a few a direct questions with direct statements?
How is a seat belt law treacherous?
Do you hate seat belts? If so, why?
If you had read what I said rather than just sounded out the words, you would have not have read anything about how the law was for your own good. What I said was: Seat belt laws are all about harm reduction that cuts cost of insurance and social cost in the medical system. It is a law to reduce cost due a catastrophic accident. You might think it is a result of utilitarianism, but it is not -- moral worth is not required to justify the law.
I also said that seat belts save lives so you should use them but did not tie this statement into an argument to justify the law. Seat belts keep people's brains from shattering on windshields after a collision. A small risk to you but something that others want to avoid.
Sure I can answer your questions.
A seatbelt law is treacherous because it removes the default position of the individual owning themself and replaces it with an external authority having a higher power of decision over that same individual. It has a basis in the idea that the individual does not have the highest authority over his own body and his own property.
Prohibition, slavery, and things that negate the individuals freedom of choice spring from the same well. I have not given other people authority over my body, if they presume to have it, they are threatening force in a non defensive way (via the law), I reject that
No, I do not hate seat belts. I sometimes wear one.
If I didn't read your post properly, my apologies. If I included a barb in my reply, it was in response to the one you started with. I'm happy to be reasonable as long as you are.
