[QUOTE="SemperFidelis, post: 40929032, member: 157545"] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Of course none of us are blameless, but this is really beside the point. I also have no issues with my tax money helping ordinary people with ordinary problems, the issue I have is when people whinge about how their personal freedom is being restricted then expect us, the taxpayers, to bail them out when they get into trouble by exercising thie personal "liberties". For example, going back to the issue of having to wear a bike helmet, I have no problems eith my tax and rego money being used to help people who have been injured in car accidents through no fault of their own, however, I do begin to take issue when people refuse to wear a bike helmet then expect the public to help them out financially when they are hit by a car and suffer head injuries. You also make the point of why can't we just live and let live? This is just ideoligocal nonsense for the most part (not meaning to be rude), but the fact is that we live in a society that requires rules, regulations and certain behavioural expectations to run smoothly. Like I mentioned in a previous post, are you willing to not stick your nose into other peoples business if their business happens to impact on your enjoyment of life? What if your neighbour decided to play loud music all night, depriving you of sleep? Would you then live by that same philosphy? Anti-social behaviour is certainly a sign of rebellion, however I think in general it is either a cry for attention or a reaction from people who are too immature to deal with the fact that sometimes they can't just behave in any way they feel like. Again, just my opinions Blessings, :crossrc: Steve[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
