MURDER is DIRECTLY VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF ANOTHER. So are all the other capital crimes you cite.

And when you cost me money because you failed to wear a seat belt - you have VIOLATED THE RIGHTS OF ANOTHER.

That is much different from something happening to you through no fault of your own. But your conscious decision NOT to protect yourself with a seatbelt VIOLATES THE RIGHTS OF ANOTHER.

It is completely absurd to start worrying about trickkle-down effects on every person in society. That is why that poster said your logic leads to nit-picking bullying on every aspect of living - because guess what?

EVERYTHING YOU DO AFFECTS EVERYONE ELSE, SOMEHOW.

Albeit maybe only down to the 10th or 20th rung.

So, by your logic, you must regulate and enforce every single thing you do in your waking life.

Such as, not eating candy? You don't want to pay for dental or even heart disasters through "shared" insurance?

Money? That's all you are worried about? I guess it was a good thing that Rich Successful men back in 1775 didn't have your world view.

We'd still be shouting "God save the King"

Pathetic.
