Warning: Please Do Not Jump On The Seals
Written by :Lurch
I don't have to justify why I want the choice, you need to justify why I shouldn't be allowed it.

Fire Tom, thanks for the warning about Indian roads. The road accident rate in India is among the highest in the world, and most accidents are caused by human error.Written by Fire Tom
We follow road rules as to insure a were smooth steady flow of traffic (In Australia). Funny enough in a mostly unregulated system like that in India, it still works.
It really depends on what you mean by “works” Fire Tom.

No, because your employer has the right to force you to take certain safety precautions while on the job. Your rights and freedoms in the workplace are different than when you are on your own.

If you think our hesitancy about establishing more laws that violate our right to choose has to do with insecurity and trust issues, than you're right. It does. Given a perfect world I suppose I wouldn't have to choose anything, it would all be chosen for me. My government would tend to my needs, and know what's best for me. But obviously that isn't the case. George Bush and the Patriot Act would be two glaringly obvious examples of why I want a say in everything that has to do with my life. It amazes me that you're so willing to slowly give up control of your life to a power you ultimately have no control over.

And the cost to society? When you can show me that *me* choosing to not wear a helmet puts *you* at risk, I may begin to contemplate it. So far you haven't even been able to convince me that me owning a gun, which is designed to kill people, puts innocent little you at more risk, so goodluck with a helmet.

Just for curiosities sake, would you want helmets to be required whenever anyone is on a bicycle? Only on roads? All public property, or is private property included? Would there be a maximum speed you could go before you needed a helmet.

So Lightning, there are some situations where it’s mandatory to take certain safety precautions. Has there been a flow on reducing infringements of personal liberties in other areas? It could be that the reasons for infringements of personal liberties are independent of each other, and there are many slippery poles, not one. For example, the diet and health problem issue could be seen as a separate and independent issue to seat belts which is separate to anti-terror laws.

Gabe - compared with bike helmets, the bicycle helmets are more subtle. Still I prefer to ride without, even though I drive at high speeds - to me it feels more comfortable.

Do you support mandatory helmet laws because those freaks behind the wheel are too to watch out for cyclists?
