I've ignored this thread up until now because I can't why would someone would be against wearing a seat belt. Let alone think it was a government conspiracy.
My grandpa (rest in piece) started smoking cigarettes when he was 7. SEVEN years old, and he chain smoked until he died of stage 4 lung cancer. Yes, even after the cancer he didn't stop. Nowadays we know that cigarettes and smoking are bad for you and what they do to your body. So as a PRECAUTIONARY measure people under 18 can't buy cigarettes.
Are we stepping on our children's freedom with this law? Is "Big Brother" trying to brainwash them into thinking smoking can kill you? Or are we trying to protect them?
Off the record, and in my humble opinion - everyone that chooses to not wear a seatbelt should experience a head on collision at 45 MPH. After you go through windshield you can tell me how cool it is to not wear your seatbelt.
