Awe you get my drift.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 18, 2006 11:55 am) Well first I have to ask who caused the accident? Thats who really should pay.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 18, 2006 11:55 am) What do you think that insurance is for? I guess you could argue that it places a burden on our health care system that gets spread out amongst all of us. Okay, the same can be said for obesity. Let's make that illegal. Pretty easy to identify the offenders, baggy close can only hide so much. Oh and something like 6,000 people die each year from skin cancer. Better make laying out at the beach or pool illegal. For a society that prides itself on freedom we have an inordinate fascination with laws.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 18, 2006 12:04 pm) Okay, I'll admit it. As Forrest Gump would say, "I'm not a smart man". But I really don't want sympathy or respect. What I want is to be able to exercise my own judgement in deciding what I should and shouldn't be allowed to do. That freedom is rapidly eroding in this country.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 18, 2006 12:07 pm) I answered that one. As for insurance, tpe did a good job at that. If you are going to complain about those who don't wear seat belts you have to complain about those who engage in high risk activities.
