I know lots of people who still make that argument, mostly wrt helmets (bike or motorcycle) though. It's that super-libertarian stance, right? Thinks people should be allowed to be unsafe.

And right there, SH sums up Apple's entire marketing plan. Which totally works on me.

Motorcycle helmets aren't required in Florida. It freaks me out on I-95 when they fly by me. Eeep! My office is next to a motorcycle shop and the owner there does wear his. If he didn't I would yell at him because I like him and would have to go mommy on him.

yep. My friend's husband is like that. He's a US Marshal and refuses to wear a seatbelt. Whatever dude. If you survive getting thrown out of the car, I'm totally making you pay for the windshield.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for drawing to my attention that I had duplicate Rachel McAdams pictures! Now remedied.
C Rachel Bilson. I don't mind my boys young, but I think if I were to love the ladies, I wouldn't be cradle robbing Bilson. F McAdams, and M Weisz.

I don't know any of the Rachel's, but on looks alone. Who knew I could instantly have such opinions on women?

Yes, still bitter about the casting for Time Traveler's Wife, why do you ask?
And yes, still have a few shreds of nostalgia for Summer Roberts on The OC.

Okay, this is kind of money:
Swedish Bank Robbers Pull Off Daring Heist
In a scene that could have been lifted from a James Bond flick, a gang of heavily armed thieves used explosives and a stolen helicopter to pull off a spectacular multimillion-dollar heist in Sweden.
About 15 minutes later, they were back on the roof with bags of money and made a quick getaway in the waiting chopper.
Police had tried to stop the robbers - but were foiled before the drama even started.
The crooks had left spikes on the roads near the bank to puncture cops' tires and planted explosives at the police heliport to prevent them from taking off.
AWESOME.

Do what you want in your own car dude, but I'm not letting you get thrown around and hurt me. Yes, I have said that to belt objectors in my car.
