My initial reaction to this was that it is BS and it is their job and no fine should be imposed BUT after reading some of the replies here and then re-reading the article I feel differently.
The reason is due to these few lines right here... Quote:

I didn't read all of this, but when I got hit the Fire Department sent me a bill. I found out last night that according to my health insurance provider only about half of it was 'In Network' so I am going to have to pay for the rest of it out of pocket. Sucks to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

We have the same fine type of situation here.
Idiots who attempt to drive through obviously flooded areas with fast moving water get to pay for the rescue costs. It happens every year during the monsoon season. |

Its just another way to get more money out of the general population. At some point the majority of people are going to need some public assistance of some kind, not just stupid people Rider. ________ Sell Vaporizers Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 08:36 PM.. |

![]() I started off thinking I agree 100% with Kaneman, but after reading some of the replies, this is a tough one. I dont beleive people should be fined for needing assistance, like a house burning down, or becoming lost. But at the same time, I think people should have to pay for being idiots. I dont know which side to lean towards... What about the child that get seperated from his boy scout troop while camping in the woods? Should he pay? What about the climbers on Mt. Everest, hit by a random spring storm that wasnt on the radar when they left base camp? Or the climber who slipped on rocks and fell 100 feet down the mountain and broke his legs and cant climb out? |

It's a long-ass QFT, but here's a QFT nonetheless.

And of course you could easily use the same argument against motorcyclists. I get the point that people with brains hate stupid people, but do you really want the government deciding what's stupid and what's not? Or maybe we should all drive to work in a Ford Excursion with 20 airbags, sit in our safe little cubicles for 9 hours and go straight home....just to be on the safe side. ________ Vaporizer Wholesaler Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 08:37 PM.. |
