    Oh, this can only end in tears.

    And just by chance does anyone know what the damage is done to society by punishing victimless crimes?

      Not wearing seatbelts and fucking around with a phone are hardly victimless crimes and those laws that punish such offenses were written in blood. Never understood people taking safety regulations lightly. It’s not a fucking suggestion.

        Who is the victim of not wearing a seatbelt?

        Is it one of those ‘you’re not allowed to do things that only affect you because we’re a society’ type things where we should ban video games and sweet foods too?

          I guess it could be argued that everybody via higher potential expense via NHS?

          And the other part, mobile phones, is certainly not victimless crime.

          I wonder constantly how in this day and age people still don’t use hands free either in-car, speaker, or BT systems if they really MUST be talking “all the time”.
