idk man, i get where you're coming from but some laws are literally in place to protect us from harm, like seatbelt laws and stuff.

protect us from harm? pls, the only thing those seat belt laws are protecting is the government's ability to give me a ticket for not wearing one. where's the freedom in that huh?

yeah that's true, but it still doesn't make it any less annoying when the government tries to control every little thing we do.

those seatbelt laws don't pertain to people who are being pulled over and thrown from their car by police and then

yeah i hear you. i just think some laws go overboard and kinda treat us like kids, ya know?

yeah and i'm pretty sure some laws are in place to protect us from your dad's candid opinions

who gets to decide what's "harm" tho?

yeah no i hear you but if seatbelt laws are there to protect us, then why do they keep making the buckles so damn hard to click in?

yeah, i get it, but that's all well and good until someone who's not harming themselves but has the means to, is being forced to "harm" themselves because of regulations that

dude, do you really think that's the same as requiring backdoors in encryption?

yeah, i guess the government just wants us to be safe and protected.

i'm sorry but that's just plain wrong. people should be able to make their own choices without the government sticking their nose in every aspect of our lives. seatbelt laws are a blatant overreach and do nothing but restrict our freedom.
