Idiots of America

As we all know there are a lot of stupid people that we all deal with day to day. And unfortunately, they all probably drive. Now with that in mind imagine those people with a cell phone in there hand. Now imagine them texting! That is very scary to me. I don't think the government should put a ban on it at all, but if I want to feel safer with my daughter and with me on the road I am willing to give up that right. Not because I want to but because of the morons. And I am not happy about it, but id sacrifice my right to call someone or text someone (who can wait till I pull over) for the safety of myself and others.

Neither but its comming for everyone. There are already states that ban cell phones while driving. Not saying I'm promoting it but if it came to pass it wouldn't be the worst thing that the government has done to me.

Once someone that is bashing this idea gets in a car accident for texting and driving or gets hit by someone that is texting and driving, maybe they will change their mind about it because it does take up your concentration, just as when you are talking on your phone without a headset.
i text during a red light. i dont make calls, i live in california, and its illegal to do both text or call.

but if you think talking or texting on the phone while driving isn't such a bad thing, then you are not that bright. it is a good law to pass, because im sure people would love to cut off by a trucker because he wasn't paying attention because he was too busy calling someone or receiving a message.

So you agree that YOU (60dollarcarcharger) are too stupid and too irresponsible to make your own decisions about what you should do in the car?

Go be a sheep in some other country and stop messing with my freedom

What is sad is there are people who are stupid and irresponsible and that is what is sad about this whole thing. Because the stupid people need someone to discipline them for there stupidity then we all suffer. Its like mom or dad not knowing who to discipline so they punish all the kids. Doesn't mean its right.

I'm confused why do people think that there rights are being taken away? So you and Azeon or what ever his name is think that your freedoms are being taken away because at some point the government federal or state is going to ban txt/talking on cell phones while driving. Let me ask you this do you think that peoples freedoms were taken away when the government decided you have to have a license to drive? Do you think your freedoms were taken away when they made speed limits? How about stop lights how dare someone tell me I cant go threw an intersection wit

actually the island would be a Democracy- everyone would have an equal vote with ZERO discrimination based on religion, gender, race or political background. The responsibility of a decision will rest solely on the individual that put said decision into action (+all other conspirators).

COMPLETE Freedom of speech- if you cuss someone out and they punch you in the face... don't cuss people out anymore. We wouldn't punish the masses- if .0001% of the population get in an accident while on a cellphone we wouldn't punish all 100% of the population.

Everyone is welcome to come to our island as long as they are legal AND productive members of Society. All foreigners are going through an Ellis Island check in system that will run them thro...

...they can even procreate. I suppose it is only a matter of time until their ability to reproduce is restricted as well.

You are more than welcome to give your freedom away. But not mine.

I'm not wanting to give up any of my freedoms. All I am saying is its the stupid people taking away our freedoms and its the government thinking they need to intervene. I can rant and rave like everyone else, but come on be honest you think we have a say in the crooked government?

No. We have no say in it. As an individual I really feel helpless especially since I am a lone voice crying out against the government running our lives as though we were property and it hurts to see so many in favor of it. What would they not give up for three squares and a cot?
