Epic Helmet Law Protestor is Epic

Sad to see people still throwing the "Driving is a privilege not a right" bullshit out there, but other than that this is a great thread.

It's semantics.

Anyone who isn't blind or retarded can drive, until "they", prove otherwise.

You really want people with multiple DUI's, or zero training, sharing the road with you?

Do you really want murders or rapists using the same ATMs and shopping malls as you? No? Oh, well, I guess not living in prison is a privilege, not a right.

See what I'm saying? Rights can be taken away under the correct circumstances too.

Actually, no, I don't.

"A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession."

Key word here is effort. You make the effort to pass the driving test, you get a license. Seems fair enough.

When "jackbooted thugs" start kicking in doors and revoking licenses without due process, I'll start worrying about the distinction between a right and a privilege.

True but that's just because they haven't gotten caught (no revenue in that, apparently)

Bullshit, we have people that have multiple DUIs, DWIs and have a general inability to drive. Most people on the road today are too busy doing anything BUT driving while behind the wheel. But, because they have a slim method of keeping it somewhat in their own lane they get away with it. Hell, they get away with murder on a regular basis with four words ["I never saw him"]

I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was saying that they haven't gotten caught because there's not enough revenue in it.

Sorry to disappoint, but for the moment, it's true.
