So, Christmas shopping in the city was fun today. Or not. ing carols.
The two main highlights of the day were:
a) Watching two bogan guys punch on in City Beach, and
b) Seeing a Downs Syndrome guy go off the handle and trash a bunch of clothing racks in Myers, while screaming his head off about something :wtf: |

Outrageous retail prices bring out the full retard in everyone, that's usually why they go to Target instead of Myers. :p |

Oh I bet, people losing it in public places is fantastic (unless its Colorado or Norway), a few years ago I saw a hyperactive kid go careening around an appliance section while his fat chunk of a mother was wheezing at him to slow down.
In most retail stores, somewhere near appliance will be kitchenware.
Runs into a stack of boxed dinner sets... bam, whole lot goes over :haha: |

God damn hippies and their laws protecting the stupid! If someone's stupid enough to share a road with a drunk driver, it's their fault if they get killed!

Seems like you failed to understand what I'm saying. It's "God damn hippies and their laws protecting the stupid from themselves!". The drunk driver and the robber are two entirely different things.
An example of a typical hippie law is the seatbelt law. People are only putting their own life's at danger. Yet there needs to be a law that forbids this. You are not gives responsibility for your own doings. Yes, I realize this law has saved many people from injury or death, and removing it would have "bad" consequences. Still, in my understanding of the government this should not be. I demand the ing freedom to risk my life whenever I want. I value that freedom higher than a bunch of people dying because they made a bad decision. Everyone should be allowed to make bad decisions. Yet the god damned hippies make a new law whenever something doesn't fit with their idealistic world view. It's not the government's job to force citizens to make the "right" decisions. It's the government's job to let people make their own decisions.
Now hippie off, Lira. The world will never be the cheerful pink paradise you want it to be, where everyone lives happily together and Para Para is playing all the time. And stop demanding a new law to fix things whenever your illusions collide with the harsh reality.
Edit: Am I being Ayn Rand-ish here? I never read her but someone once told me I would find many of my views there. |

| If the government has the obligation to care for people when they cannot afford medical help -- which it does in many countries -- then it only makes sense that it should also have the power to regulate certain things (seat belt use, for example) so that medical costs will be minimized. You might say that people who cannot afford life-saving medicine should simply be left to die, or that they should rely on private charity (which is pretty much a less harsh way of saying the former); but if you do not take that view, then it makes little sense to object to public safety laws. |
