So this past weekend people were getting pulled over for not wearing their seatbelts!!! What I don't wanna wear one. What's next, wearing a helmet will be required? How can we look good with a helmet on. Soon we'll be wearing an ironman suit to go grocery shopping.

is that why you were a wanted man? I thought you would have learned your lesson by now.
click or ticket, baby!

its the liberals and their big brother laws.  can't smoke in parks, gotta wear a seat belt, licence cats, they gotta make money and fish for dwi's some how.

Nah, you can hunt them all you want. You only need the license when you catch one and want to kill it.

I'm all for seatbelts but why should they care if someone doesn't care for their own safty?  Its all about the money

There are always going to people that feel they know better how to care for you than you do. The only reason there is no helmet law in minnesota and there is a seatbelt law is abate. having a strong lobbying effert in this state that watches and works for no mandatory helmet laws pays off. If there was an organized effert to remove the seatbelt law it would go away. There is no rationale that says one must wear seatbelt but not helmets; they are analogous.

Wisconsin says you can shoot feral cats on sight.... now there is a law we can all get behind.

Good thing Mo keeps his on a leash.

Life sure is hard when you're forced to buckle up. The 5 seconds it takes to reach over your shoulder, pull the belt down and click it are insufferable. All the hardship. The pain. The suffering. Why? Why, dear God do we have to suffer so much inconvenience? When will this inconvenience end?

I never drive with out a seatbelt.. even back when you didn't get pulled over for it..  its easy to put and may save your life 5% of the time, other times when your better off being thrown from the car which I've read about on my forum..  I just don't think the state should get paid off for it like a lot of other things..  let Darwinism take care of the rest..

I'm all for seatbelts. I think the reason they're enforcing a lot moreately is the death of a dozen teens over the course of 2 weeks. None of them wore seatbelts and i think the drivers were drunk. I say bring on the helmet law too, it'll sure take care of the squids. Why ride if u can't show ur face  . Nobody wants to hear about people dying cause they didn't take the extra 5 secs to put a belt on.

And I'm gonna keep my cat away from u guys, and Troopers. I hear Kitties are dangerous

I agree.

It is interesting, though, that seat belts are legally required while motorcycle helmets are not.  Where is the logic there?

If you're going to force people to wear seat belts, you should force them to wear helmets, too.  They don't make Arai-branded mullets for a reason.

I'm all for the Darwinism argument, but at least be consistent.

Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one asking for logic in our legal system?

you are right; the government should make every discision for me in my life.  weather to buckle the seat belt in my car if I should wear a helmet if the knifes in my kitchen are too sharp if my kid should wear a helmet when walking down stairs if my grass is too long weather I can smoke or drink if I have too many rights if I'm wrong because I only speek english.  I'm investing in knee/elbow pads because by 2040 cryogenically frozen president Oprah will have it mandatory for everyone to wear a full body of armor to insure against anyone scraping their knee.  I'm not retarded and I have a Mom, I don't need one elected for me.
