Think you need a new catchphrase. But, please, go on with your petty, pissant insults instead of engaging in actual conversation. It's amusing at this late hour.

I did, I posted a ton of facts about seat belts, but you have been too busy being off topic. Try to stay on topic or start a new thread about what you want to talk about it.

Have a lovely evening, dear. I'm done going back and forth with someone who would rather sling insults than do anything else. :yawn:

Well that is what happens when you have added nothing to the conversation, feel free to post any facts about seat belts if you like seeing that is what this thread is about, but if you don't want to talk about it, stop posting in a seat belt thread.

Please just stop. Your probably some government bot. We need a name for unnamed nationals like you.

I can't believe your still riding under the "safety" flag. You sure have shown a lot of compassion in this thread.

So does smoking and drinking. Some professions. Some blue collar work.

We have adequate medical professionals to fulfill the needs of our population. Those premiums are going to individuals who are saving our lives. Also, if you think insurance industry is hurting, your sadly mistaken.

Non-stop posting for the last week on this site. Either trolling or getting paid to post.

The thread title is: "Should it be mandated that citizens wear seat belts?"

To me, "mandated" implies Federal Regulation. I haven't paid any attention to state/local governance since I wear them anyway.

Like i stated before, for the same on insurance. You won't get the seat belt deniers to listen.

Yeah that is a confusion on the OP's part, he thinks it is a federal regulation when it is already a state regulation that most people support.
