You will be safer if the cops can write you tickets for not wearing your seatbelt.

I’m sure he’s feeling much safer, and glad the state cares so much about him!
This one made me really laugh out loud.
I’m still waiting for my crucified Joe Camel.
Jesus gets his second ride, and poor Joe hasn’t had one yet.
Literally LOL’d. great stuff
That should be a shirt.
Reminds me of the christian excuse for heaven&hell. We must have free will, but should we actually use that will to make undesired decisions we’ll spend all eternity in a lake of fire! Only the state doesn’t have a lake of fire so much as a sea of fines, and a kidnap holding cell of fellow-inmate-torment-and-rape.
The fact that people are forced through capitalism’s continual threat of starvation to work away their lives at car factories is more upsetting than seat belt laws. Capitalism is a force of oppression. You say you are against forcing people to accept authority, but property is simply forcing people to accept another’s authority over the use of materials, and capitalism is just using that authority to force people to work away their lives to produce material to appease the infinite material demand of society.
Dear Yay,
You are an idiot. In a true free market there is nothing forcing you to do anything. If you don’t like working in a car factory, you can be any thing else that you like. If you don’t like working you can live in the woods off the land. If that’s even too much work for you, then yes you can starve. You apparently want to do no work and have your life still somehow provided for. Tell me who will provide for it? Maybe you want to force someone else to work in that car factory to make your car, and force someone to grow your food, so you can watch sitcoms all day.
I hope that your comment was some kind of satire or sarcasm, but some how I doubt it.
“In a true free market there is nothing forcing you to do anything” the whole concept of property is that it forces everyone other than the owner to not interact with material (property) in the manner they see fit. And if you agree that all commodities may become property, how am I to simply live off the land (as an aside, low-tech permaculture makes more sense in that case) if I have to pay for the land and water rights? For example, say I am a newcomer and have no money and no property, would it not be the case that I would be forced (upon the threat of starvation) to labor for some new master? A master, I might add, who would, under this system, have even more authority than the current system due to a complete absence of regulation.
And how are you going to prevent the formation of monopolies? Regulation? Utopian magic? Say someone had a local monopoly on water or land or some other vital, would they not have near dictatorial power?
I don’t support forcing people to work for someone, it’s you who does. I simple wish to be able to interact, along with everyone else, with all materials the way I and they see fit. You effectively wish to let people labor for an elite that will inevitable rise from this system.
Jesus isn’t going to come back. If he did ICE would pick him up and deport him on a bogus “illegal immigration” beef.
Gov’t Agent: Sorry, Mr. Son of God, we can’t let you in without a passport. I suppose you could complain to your dad about it.

Wow!
Do not auto insurance companies give better, safer drivers better rates? Do not drivers want to personally avoid death or injury? Where’s the problem? The government needs to stop interfering.
“I don’t support forcing people to work for someone”
You don’t seem to like the idea of a person choosing to work for their own reward, whether that is money or food. So do you support people getting food via money taken from other people? That *is* forcing people to work for someone.
Meh. Some people will always pry at any angle they can in order to promote their own bohemian lifestyle, and it ain’t “cool” to actually put any work into it. It’s always someone else who has to do it.
