Journal the_mad_poster's Journal: A Dolly Jay For Flaming 12
Well, my short-lived "Going to Hell?" poll has led me to believe that all my friends and fans hate me. A few folks said I was, but most said I wasn't. Note, however, that nobody actually said I was going to heaven, they just offered alternate destinations like limbo (WI and Cleveland, OH) and, god help me, GeckoFood must hate me something awful - Wal-Mart.
Anyway, between the time I wrote the above and now, I've been set off by a "public service announcement" so let's get this rant underway.
Fuck clickit or ticket. What's that, you don't know what I'm talking about? Well, in PA you're required to wear a seatbelt. For a long time you could only get pulled over for primary traffic offenses like speeding, but if you weren't wearing your seatbelt (among other things) you could get another ticket for a "secondary offense". Technically, you can now get pulled over for any "offense", but they still treat it more or less the same as it used to be. Here's my question:
What the fuck does it matter if I'm wearing my fucking seatbelt or not? I'm sick and tired of these bullshit laws being created to rip off morons who are too dumb to keep themselves safe.
Oh, what's that? What about the medical expenses when some dipshit flies through the windshield and goes into traction? Fuck that. Here's an idea: let's take care of these dipshits that walk up and down the fucking sidewalk blowing smoke in my face from their marlboro lights (yea, go for the light ones dumbfuck, that'll make a big difference). You think these asswipes aren't hiking up medical insurance and sucking down government healthcare benefits because they're too fucking dumb to not inhale toxic chemicals? What about the effects they have on the rest of us? You can start ticketing people for seatbelts when I see you handing out tickets to people buying tobacco products.
Or how about this group I'm a part of, just so you don't think I'm being Holier Than Thou: people who drink alcohol. Everytime we consume a drink we're slowly poisoning ourselves. What about us dipshits who aren't smart enough not to consume dilluted poison in the name of recreation? What about fucking alcoholics who are sucking down medical benefits? Why the fuck don't I get a fine for being stupid when I walk out of a bar?
I'm sick and tired of this shit. Let people drive around without fucking seatbelts on, I don't give a shit. They're not going to hurt anybody but themselves. When they fly through the goddamn windshield as a result, just let them die. Don't put threatening "public service" announcements on the radio with some dipshit road-warrior cop who thinks he's tough shit because he sits around getting testicular cancer from his radar gun. Fuck. Just let these idiots remove themselves from the gene pool. I'm so sick and tired of being expected to have compassion for people who aren't smart enough to keep themselves alive in a society that already acts as a thick shell around them.
TOo many fucking dipshits around.. just let them kill themselves off, I don't give a fuck.

It's so stupid, and worse these idiots get others killed.
Killing themselves is too kind for them. They should have an accident or two, lose an arm or a leg and be a cripple for life. That would just about serve them right.
I lost one of my best friends to a drunken driver. All those bastards should be shot dead. Asshats from hell. Bloody fuckin' morons.
UGH!

I don't understand the laws surrounding drunk driving "accidents". I think that if you get drunk, drive, and kill someone, it's MINIMUM 2nd degree murder. Fuck this "manslaughter" bullshit. If you go get your ass fucked up on alcohol or drugs of any kind, it should be assumed that you chose to drive around with the intention of hurting or killing someone. It seems like stupidity, however, is a valid argument in these types of cases.
I always tell people that if they ever want to kill someone, they should ju

For instance, in parts of Europe and Asia,
it's first degree murder if you kill a man because of either -
(a) Drunken driving/driving under narcotic influence
(b) Driving without a license
(c) Driving when you are prohibited from doing so (medical reasons, etc)
Which is, not really a very good thing, but it scares a lot of people.
On one hand, it seems unfair -- imagine an 18 year old dumb kid whose just too stupid to know, who drinks and runs over somebody. Is it really wo

Yes. What if said 18 year old had gotten pissed at his girlfriend and cut her throat? Is it fair to incarcerate him for life in that case? Yes as well.
The only reason I don't support a bullet in the head on the side of the road for repeat drunk drivers is that I don't trust

I don't think that an accident bad enough to require seatbelts for survival would be easy enough for you to maintain control of the vehicle anyway. Also, the shock of even just a 30mph collision is enough to stun most people momentarily. If you're going fast enough to be thrown from the vehicle, the collision was almost certainly severe enough to destroy enough of the vehicle that it became mechanically impossible to control, or was bad enough that your little bit of influence wasn't going to change the cou

I'm not saying it will make every accident less severe, but some. I want to be protected from idiots by the law if they can do it. It may save my life or someone I care about.

I can buy the argument in theory, but that's one thing where I'm gonna have to see some numbers to accept the practicality of it all.

I have been thinking about the freedom problem for a couple of years, and I think we have screwed ourselves. All of a sudden we have assumed joint responsibility for everyone. God forbid that someone should do something that we don't like. The more it seems we talk about an open society, the less we have. I blame the pinko comm
