All I can say is the dumbass got what he wanted.

damn that is ironic, kinda funny too in a sadistic way

Like he said, he had the right to choose. He made his choice.

Ahhhhhh...the theory of evolution at it's finest.

...and currently called a "Darwin Award".

I feel no sense of loss for him. I do feel for his family, who,have now lost a stupid individual. I wonder, after all his bitching about not wanting to use a seat belt, did he realize as he was flying through the windshield, "hmmm.... maybe I should have worn it"

I think the intent of the law is not necessarily to protect the individual wearing the seatbelt, but the family of said individual, as well as society in general from the cost (hospital, funeral, cleanup, etc)

Haha. Very funny. I'm sure if he would have survived he would have written a column called "Government officials attempt to assassinate me for critisicin (sp?) seat belt laws by putting ice on road"

That almost qualifies as Irony. It would have been ironic if he had cliamed he was as safe without wearing his seatbelt as he would be wearing it. But, he wasn't doing that. He was talking about the loss of civil liberties.

Bye, bye buddy ... :wave:

that proves that school smarts dont mean you're actually smart

He had a 4.0

Which clears my theory that street smarts are "real" smarts

A perfect example of irony, I couldn't believe what I was reading in that article and was already planning my responce here, but, then I realised that irony fits here somewhere, so before I finished, I opened the 2nd link.....


what's weirder is this statement made by Andris Dellinger at the bottom of the page:

Well Derek, when you fly through the windshield, make sure my insurance rates don't rise to cover your "freedom".

that proves that school smarts dont mean you're actually smart

He had a 4.0

Which clears my theory that street smarts are "real" smarts

:1:
I think you're right...the smarter you are the less common sense you have.

Apparently it was more important for him to exercise his personal freedom than to be safe.

A perfect example of irony

Let me explain this again.

It was not irony. He would have to have said not wearing your seatbelts is just as safe as wearing them for it to have been ironic.

His article talked about the removal of a civil liberty.

point taken

A man who died for his ideas...
Why can't I feel sorry for him?

Although he admitted to seatbelts saving lives, his refusal to wear them was his cause of death, that IS sad, and a real traggedy. You can feel sorry for him, I do.

im sick, i actually laughed out loud at this, man im demented

A death is allways sad, but all I can think is "what a dumbo".

It's sad when anyone dies needlessly, and before their time.
