Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality?

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."

    This is what happens in a "progressive" society that's trying to remove morals from our society completely.

    Modern liberalism is premised on the exact opposite. Modern liberalism is based in a sort of duty-based ethic whereas it's ethical to force others to do what you think is ethical. Not my position, but there you go.

    That's such a vague (if not trolling) description that it's useless.

    Let me transofrm it a bit; "modern conservatism is based in a sort of divine-based ethic whereas it's ethical to force others to do what you think is ethical", and with many examples.

    When I feel that a cop's intent is to do good, I will call the cops.
    When I honestly feel that cops are driven by a visceral emotion to do good - their true underlying motivation being only to do good, I will call the cops.

    In today's world of reality, however, there is no fucking way I am going to volunteer myself to have any interaction whatsoever with a cop. No fucking way.
    I watched a dozen different youtube videos of a cop in Oakland grab a black young man sitting there minding his own business, handcuff him face down on the ground, and then shoot him in the back. Dead.
    Traffic lights that have the yellow light length shortened to increase the number of tickets written.
    Motorcycle cops sitting on the far side of overpasses with their laser guns trying to catch someone driving 56 in a 55.
    Cops arresting people for DUI because they were riding a riding mower on their own property after two beers.

    Sorry, but no.

    Wow compare Jesus to some anonymous jewish coward from the old testament. I follow the teachings of Jesus not idol worshiping jews from anchient times. Maybe you should read the Torah it has as much in common with Jesus's teachings as the old testament and is equally disturbing.

    Hahaha, you are the pure definition of evil. Like when the rapist exclaims "hell no officer - she raped me". People who need help are lazy and are designed by evolution to disappear. I have never had anyone help me, and when I see people on the road with a flat tire motioning me to come help I snicker and give them the finger. Start walking to a gas station like I would of.

    Good luck with the Karma - the universe doesn't work like you think..........

    I would just put a X across all of the questions, and write above them: I do not follow your orders. You follow mine!
    Then attach a test on top of it myself, and hand it back.

    That’s how a real leader would do it.
    Instead of caving into submission.
    Of course that’s why they would hate that.
    But when they would come up with wanting to tell you to GTFO, you’d already be gone, because they don’t deserve your presence.
    Fuckin’ oppressive dicks.
