makes me wonder how often a school bus is in an accident. guessing its probably less than any other motored vehicle. everyone can see it and its the last thing anyone wants to hit, almost like you would put the car in the ditch before rear ending a bus

Antivax/anti-authority folks, Sal might be too nice to point out the parallels with our present day situation directly here,.. but I'm not. At least back then, your defending your freedom only got you yourself killed. Figure it out.

Even worse, the longer you don't put on your seatbelt, the clock runs out and the more ineffective everyone else's seatbelt gets, forcing them to get re-seatbelted.

Where do you want to stop? You already have to have a license to drive, so don't give me your "freedom" bullshit. If you are too immature to do the right thing then you have to be told, simple as that.

Ok I'll bite and defend these guys.
It's really simple. It comes down to freedom of choice. If you want to risk your life, you should be allowed to do so.
It's nobody's business but theirs. I'd say this works fine in the US where you have to pay your own medical bills so costs don't fall on the taxpayers when you get wrecked.

What my kid does is my responsibility. I'd teach them to wear a seat belt.
Antibelters shouldn't tell other what to do and the same goes for probelter.

Except in the scenario above, folks not wearing a seatbelt in that car causes the seatbelt your kid DID put on to degrade, making it ineffective every 6mos. Even if you instruct your kid to put on their belt whenever in a car, until everyone has their belt on you're pretty much playing a game of beat the clock with the kid's health and life.

Each time you present information that you think is specific to me, it tells me there's a part inside you that knows you're sick, and suffering, and begging you to change. And you won't. I don't take anti-psychotics - I was misprescribed anti-psychotics when a medical issue I had was misdiagnosed as an anxiety disorder instead of what it turned out to be, which was a tropical infection. An infection that went untreated for almost 10 years, an ordeal that introduced me to the serious problems we have in our society that influence the pain and suffering people experience when they try and get medical care.
The fact that you keep posting details from my life that only a hegelian satanist that I worked with at Sandvine would know about is the reason why my older brother is providing me with specific information about you - for my protection. If you want to meet for a coffee let me know and I'll make the trip because, despite your suffering and the danger it represents to me and my family, I have no hesitancy at all about meeting with you face-to-face.

As you mentioned the US: This argument is mute, as some states (especially promoting the right wing "freedom idea") "ban" abortion for pregnancies over 6 weeks, regardless of reason, in others suicide is illegal. It doesn't get more personal than that!
There are personal "mandates" everywhere and people decide which they can "live with" or not, yawn.
