We should also ban all extreme hobbies, such as skydiving and motor cross. And there should definitely be a law that says its a crime to fuck someone without a condom unless you're married to them and have STD tests done at least yearly.
What the hell happened to personal responsibility?
Grrrr.

I'm going to go out on a limb and agree with you to an extent, but starting off any statement with 'you people are fucking morons' isn't exactly the best way to make friends and influence people.
It does make sense to wear a seatbelt, and I also believe all things being equal this should be personal choice. However, all things are not equal... there are other things to consider. Loss of life yes, but more importantly the cost of the medical bills from not wearing a seat belt and having an accident. Unfortunately whether you have insurance or not, your medical treatment is automatic and any costs incurred not covered by insurance and not paid are picked up by the state.
