Right, the imposition to you putting a seatbelt is so high, it outweighs all we’ve discussed?

You’re out of touch, bud.

And yeah, if somehow we could help people not be morbidly obese, that’d would be great. Just listen to people in their position, no one is seriously suggesting (well, sane people) that being morbidly obese is pleasant. And “enforcing” it would be ridiculous, what, surveil people at every meal? This is a strawman argument. What’s the equivalent we do for seat belts? Speed cameras sometimes snapping someone not wearing one. Police officers seeing you not doing it. It’s pretty minor. People just do it. It doesn’t need much enforcement.

Partially yeah, because it’s the law.

Have you been to countries where it isn’t the law, or hasn’t been law long? I have, funnily enough, they have much less of the habit as a society (where it hasn’t been law to wear seatbelts in the back seats). That translates into children not doing it either or getting the habit to. I have to remind people to wear one.

I don’t have to do this in Australia, where it’s been law for decades. We all just do it. Partially from very hands off enforcement.

I’m not even sure why I’m trying to convince you though.

You’re a lost cause if you’re whinging about seatbelts. And then digging your heels in, coming up with ridiculous strawman arguments like policing BMI.

Don’t come to Australia, you’d be a liability to the voter base.
