This guy is driving the vehicle and manning the camera? He should be in jail, not Youtube.
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
I think this is flame bate (God I hope it is), but I will bite.
People in U.S. of A used to be able to get away with this wild reckless kind of behavior. I remember traveling in the bed of a pickup, riding a bicycle w/o a safety helmet, and drinking water straight from the garden hose totally oblivious to saliva borne pathogens deposited by the kid before me. Those crazy days are gone forever. Now that we are growing up, and becoming a more civilized society, I realize that my parents subjected me to child endangerment. They should also be arrested. Think of the children.
In the more civilized world, people should be prevented from making dangerous choices, for themselves, and those around them. Back in the crazy days we did reckless things like send space ships to the moon, or travel on wooden ships that had in no way passed a Coast Guard safety inspection. Now we wory about unauthorized texting, or someone not spending every single ounce of attention to driving on roads that are backed up for miles with traffic jams.
Well, at least we have a president that realizes the dangers that we face. He will wrap us up in a comfortable safety net of subsidized health care. This way noone will be injured or die. If the crazy individualists still insist on endangering themselves and the families (think of the children) by not buying into the program they should be jailed.
Actually, now that I think of it jail is the solution to our problems. 1% of the population incarcerated. I think we can do better America. We can do 10%.
By providing free room and board for those eviceted in the housing crises, America will be fulfilling its social contract to help those in need, and looking after their safety at the same time. I mean you would not let a stray dog just run around will-nilly on the streat. Why should you let a person?
-America.
-Land of the free and home of the brave.
I guess, I think people should be held accountable for their actions regardless of the circumstances, and not because of them.
Meaning that if someone is drinking and driving or texting and driving, or talking to their wife and driving, and they get into an accident and kill someone, the punishment should be the same.
You and I both may think the person texting and driving is an a$$hole, but in a free society, that person has that right. Now if they get into an accident, it is a different situation. They should be held accountable. Freedom means that individuals must be held responsible for their actions. However it is not up to the state to baby everyone, and tell people how to behave.
There are millions of distractions on the road every hour. Are you going to make them illegal. In some ways engaging in a heated conversation when you are driving is just as distracting, if not more then texting. Come to thing of it, driving is inherently dangerous. Maybe we should keep people from doing that too. It is just a matter of how far you are willing to go to legislate 'good behaviour'
