I have never been in the military, I did not grow up in a military family, but I do have the upmost respect for our nations military. Lets make that clear. I realize you said you DO wear your seatbelt and thats good. I see your point about freedom, and making adult choices but I guess seatbelts seemed like a bad example to me. I had 5 aunts and uncles die in a car accident when they were young (never new them) so it has been instilled in me to wear my belt at all times. That is my choice.
No flames on the military, just stating that I found it odd that a military person would be so opposed to a law like seatbelts, I thought military life was all bout conformity. I was wrong I guess.
Oh, and by the way I didnt intend on replying , but felt I had to, to smoothe things over.
It's all good bro. I can't agree more with the fact that seatbelts save lives. I just think we should be able to decide if we want to wear ours or not. Maybe seatbelts were a bad example, but I think that the goverment makes too many choices (by making it illegal) for you on what you can do and what you can't. Now, I am not talking about common sense laws (things contained in the bible)....for example...murder, stealing, ect....I am talking about laws and ordances like being able to fine people for swearing (in Virginia Beach)! Why is pot illegal?? I think that is a prime example of the government overstepping their bounds and i don't even do any drugs at all!!!
