Speed Limit Compromise Poll

NoRegrets · 08-25-2009, 10:46 AM

I do not think that making a law to control every action possible to protect the lowest common denominator creates long term benefit. The nature of competition inspires research, action, and winners. The converse is "be careful you may get hurt" so don't do anything. IMO - This in not a very stimulating or enjoyable way to live.

We no longer have competitive manufacturing, our educational system is at the bottom of the industrial countries, everyone gets a trophy as to not have anyone feel embarrased, don't use grades because poor preformers will feel "bad", and so on.

You can not legislate common sense! Everyone will go mad trying to do it.
It will hurt 95% of the population for the 5% of Darwin Award candidates.
