Mopping floors is part of someone's job as well. That doesn't give you the right to throw garbage anywhere you want.
And yet people do this as a result of unintentional accidents (like car accidents) all the time, but you don't seem to be up in arms about cleaning up the scattered garbage from these other preventable accidents.
Or about the other unsecured garbage that may be thrown from a car accident specifically, for that matter.
Or about the gore that comes from other fatal accidents that were preventable. It's always just seatbelts with you people for some reason.
Unintentional.
Refusing to take basic safety precautions is not unintentional.
I thought this was strictly about the problems with cleanup? Why are you suddenly pivoting to "safety"? Could it be that this was all just a cover for your need to police other people's choices and behavior?
If requiring motorists to take basic safety precautions to avoid exposing other people to unnecessary gore and trauma is policing "other people's choices" then yes, that is exactly what I want to do, I want to police stupid choices that hurt other people.
Which is exactly what I would expect from a hexbear. Like I said, in the end it was just a cover for your authoritarian need to police other people's choices and behavior.
It's clear that we have a fundamental difference in values here that aren't reconcilable.
