Election Thread

Likewise, I don't care if you feel that you don't need to have a seat belt, because really, it should be a no brainer. You should be wearing one anyways, when driving on the road (Unless you'd like to argue that seatbelts really don't do anything. I think quite a few people will be happy to disagree about that).

Its no ones business but my own if I choose not to wear a seatbelt.

As stupid as that is, you have to realise that it's a bit difficult to catch offenders here without mandatory inspections. Seeing as how, you know, cars that produce smog over the legal limit don't have big flashing neon lights that say: 'FINE ME'

The inspections were a waste of time because there were too many ways around them. The easiest being to get a bottle of emissions cleaner and dump it in your tank the day before. 364 days a year the car may spew nasty black smog, but for the only day that counts it comes in just under the limit.

Second hand smoke-related health problems are quite real. I don't know the statistics on them, but I think it'd be a fairly safe bet to say that they are just about guaranteed to manifest themselves in employees who have worked for a long time in smoke-filled environments. Would you rather have 60% (Purely fictional statistic here) of the employees sue their employer 20 years down the road for when they, as non-smokers need a lung carved out (Oh, wait, by then, you can't prove a thing), or nip the problem in the bud?

No one forced that job on them. Don't like working in the smoke go elsewhere, there are no shortage of places looking for people around here.
