It's common sense not to talk to the cops if you or someone you know has done something they don't like, and you don't want yourself or others to get in trouble. On TV the cops are supermen who almost always find some physical evidence to solve the case, while in reality people get caught...

Would I give up the interwebz for 1 million? Absolutely. In a heartbeat. I would finally be able to build a generator for my cabin in the woods and spend my time fishing, hunting, gathering, chopping wood, reading, writing .. Well, I spend a lot of time doing that already, but after that I'd be...

WTF?! :confused: Welcome to the Nazi land of the 21st century.

Wow, people there sure sound like maniacs on the road. Where I come from almost everyone signals when they're about to exit and the roundabouts are steep enough to leave gaps between the cars. I guess it's a cultural thing.

Roundabouts for teh win. Can't imagine traffic without them. :D

You would make a great politician.

Yes and I totally agree with you on that. Where I come from it's mandatory to wear a helmet even when riding a bicycle, (there's no punishment though, so it's not enforced..) the world can be a fooked up place.

Sorry about that, I guess I was overpowered by my own experience and generalized on that... Though I still won't ride without a helmet. :D

My real world experience happens to say otherwise. :)

What's wrong with you people.. Nobody here is disputing the fact that people should be allowed to decide for themselves. Drive safely, and you might not need the helmet. But accidents happen. I've fallen down with a bike, and without a helmet I could be dead right now. I hit the back of my head...

And on the other hand significantly reduces chance of head injury..

Forcing people to wear a helmet is weird... Not wearing a helmet is stupid... Why wouldn't you do it? I'd never ride a bike without a helmet. Then again, I always wear full protection (head, hands, wrists, knees, elbows) when rollerskating...

Obama is related to Bush.. So changing from Bush to Obama was like handing down the crown to a relative. :P Is the US a monarchy??!?!?

Ok, I watched the second part. I pretty much agree with everything that it says, and it mostly applies to modern social democracy. Social democracy is in simple terms collectivism for the benefit of the individual. In such societies there is a general consensus that the whole has to protect the...

Thanks, I will watch these once I have the time.
