Seriously, it's not emotionally satisfying for me either, but yes, sometimes people do need to be protected from themselves.
You didn't answer my question. What other things do people pay for and yet don't have a right to use?
I was speaking towards the privilege mindset when it comes to driving, not situational occurrences. It's all fine and good to put situational clauses in an agreement or have situations where the service can't be offered
but what people say towards driving on public roads is that you own the roads, you pay for the roads, and yet, you don't have a right to drive on the roads.
That is like saying I own my house, but I can't actually live in my house without the government permission. Oh wait..the government does that too.
It's real easy to understand pards. A few years ago, people died in NYC because selfish people got stuck in the middle of the streets during a storm. The city first responders were literally shut down in some areas of the city.
Don't know about you, but I would gladly keep my car/truck parked to save a life.
It's the same thing here. Because of the extreme weather, people can't drive on the roads.
Ok. I see your point. So your objection isn't to the actual action taken, but to the language used to justify it?
I disapprove of that, for the record. But that's different in that you personally have a substantial personal right to your house.
I find myself curious how this privilege logic works. I can't think of a situation outside of dealings with the government where you pay for something and yet don't have the right to use what you paid for.
I didn't answer because it was a dumb question. But if you insist, here's a partial list...You didn't answer my question. What other things do people pay for and yet don't have a right to use?
Seriously? :roll:Why are they selfish? :lol:
Arresting is too much. A ticket and fine is sufficient.So basically what you're saying is that it's ok to arrest people if they put themselves in danger. Good idea all around there.
I have a membership to my local gym. I went there the other day to use the pool but the pool was closed for an emergency cleaning due to someone having an accident in there. The pool looked fine to me but people still weren't allowed to use it.
Do people pay for the roads? If they pay for the roads then they do in fact have a right to use them. Regardless, arresting someone for driving is completely unacceptable.
They sure do have a right to use them, they can walk or wait until the people responsible for managing them say they are okay to use. As noted there were no arrests last year and I haven't heard of any this year. Apparently they need to threaten certain types of morons who would otherwise not take them seriously. I can't even guess what those people are like. LOL!
It would have the same result, but be less heavy-handed if NYC followed Colorado's lead and required tire chains. That's of course because very few people in NYC are likely to own tire chains.
