Darth Tater Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 How is an increase in deaths a 'lab' for helmet laws? Seems to me this would be a 'lab' for natural selection at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenaa Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Too bad they don't calculate the increased medical expenses that got passed on to Joe Shmoe, whose insurance premiums will relflect the poor choices of idiots with 10 cent heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Meh, we won't be paying for their social security or old age care, though. Natural selection at its finest. Actually, it is really expensive to keep a vegetable alive in a hospital bed for a couple of decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Actually, it is really expensive to keep a vegetable alive in a hospital bed for a couple of decades. For people that ride in states that don't have a law should sign a legal document stating that no tax payers money (local/state/federal) will be used for the care of the person that got his head busted open because of their lack of a helmet. I like the idea that the Social Security be included if they become a vegetable as a result of their busted head. Let these people use their insurance, life savings, house, friends, relatives and whatever other sources of revenue to pay for their head injuries. Just don't use taxpayers money.
