I've frequented seat belt threads here for years, and I've never seen anyone take that position. But if you ever do find such an individual, send 'em my way and I'll set 'em strait.
Most "libertarians" are out for themselves, and themselves alone.
Some of us are charitable. Please see post #67.
Any restriction placed upon them is an affront to their "liberty", and any additional consequence placed upon them is "government interference".
That's not true. You are confusing us with anarchists. We don't have any problem with laws that are for the defense of rights.
It is stealing from them that which they do not own, and keeping from their grasp that which they have not earned
Seeing as how we're on a seatbelt thread, I couldn't think of a better way to describe those who would spend my liberty through seatbelt laws to pay for their own responsibility to either wear a seatbelt or purchase sufficient insurance.
For many months, I considered starting using the term "libertarian" to describe myself, but then I started looking at more and more "liberatians" and their views. Many (and I use that word instead of most or an assumed "all") libertarians are anarchists in the purest sense of the word.
They believe in no government and call it "personal responsibility", they believe that society is corrupt and tag any government policy that benefits society as "socialism", they feel that if we were to get rid of society we could rid ourselves of any government. After all, government is in place to help society and if society is undesirable, then the tool of society must be undesirable as well, if not down right tyrannical.
