>No. By that way of thinking, people should be free not to wear a seat belt or a helmet when driving, and that's wrong. (Now that we're talking about weird analogies...) Exactly, they should be free to do that. How does not wearing a helmet or a seatbelt hurts anyone else but them? Why can't they make this decision? Wearing a seatbelt or a helmet is not going to help the other side involved in the accident. >Then go to another country. We need money from taxes to maintain our welfare state. Precisely what is going to happen. Also, you need tax money, but you say "go to some other place to do your business"? Really? Do you understand logic? >Who's going to go to jail for smoking pot? At least not here. Are you saying if I openly go smoke a joint outside in your country, cops will just pass by and not pay any attention to me? Anyway, I get your point and, as you can imagine, I disagree completely.

Wearing a seatbelt or a helmet is not going to help the other side involved in the accident. First, nobody wants to see people dying. If you want to see the cold side of it, a lot of people fall in depressions due to traffic accidents, which in turn means productivity lowers. And remember: public healthcare must pay for the hospital, the medics, and if the accident makes you unable to work, you'll get a life-time pension, which the country must pay for as well. > Precisely what is going to happen. Anyway, I get your point and, as you can imagine, I disagree completely. I don't care about liberalism, as long as it's out of my country. I respect your point of view, though. There are countries where liberalism is working, so I don't think it's that bad. I just don't want it to be here. :)
