What a retard,
Some people just love to go on about stupid crap well this one bloody backfired didnt it!?
I can understand why we complain about speed cameras and such, however I can't see how you could dispute the safety benefit of wearing a seatbelt.

I actually feel unsafe unless I am wearing one. It has nothing to to with the fact that the cops will pull me over.

What a Knob Jockey.

Only in America.
Good to see natual selection working its way through the population.

Ironically it's their freedom in their country which gets so many people killed. Have a look at how their "freedom" to own a gun has killed so many inocent people. The country is meant to be the most developed nation in the world, yet whats with all of the 1700's government policies etc...


P.S. : LOL

Yeah, remember reading this from CCC couple of days ago, its unfortunate in that he fell to his own stupidity. This proves that, goin against the common good isnt always a good idea, seat belts arent in cars for cops to make money. For every 1 person hurt by a belt, 10 people are saved. I think thats a good ratio.
