The exact same argument could be made for banning smoking. Seatbelt laws are bull****.

Someone not in a seatbelt could fly around the inside or outside of a car and kill other people with their flailing body so no, that one's not just down to you either.

If I remember right vaccines aren't a government owned or regulated industry. Either way, just always remember the Tuskegee experiments when getting vaccinated because they can infect you with diseases if they wanted to and they have in the past. Not to say you shouldn't get vaccinated still, because I think the risk of not being vaccinated is a little higher.

I'm white though.

Holy ****, this thread went nuts. Nuts off topic.

**Frownland** · 11-01-2016, 12:13 PM

I tried to make it kinda on topic by calling not vaccinating child endangerment.

This isn't the movies. You're not going to fly through your windshield or bounce around like a pinball. That is dumb.

It may not be the movies but inertia still does exist.

Yeah, thanks for a reminder of the futility of trying to discuss anything on-topic around here.
