    Making yourself safer by making everyone else less safe still seems like an asshole move to me?

    Bumper height should have been regulated on city roads, then we wouldn’t have gotten this escalation. Work truck, sure. If you need one, you need one. But people who drive a massive gas guzzler to park it at the office and go up the elevator to work?

      When it comes to buying a car, I’m going to buy whatever makes me the safest on the road. I do not care if it makes other less safe, I value my life more than almost anybody else’s. Why would I willingly choose a car more likely to cause my consciousness to cease if I get into a car crash? That’s just foolish.

        Sure, but not caring that you are the problem makes you an asshole, right? That was the original question. So the point stands.

          If choosing vehicles based on the safety of me and my close ones makes me an asshole, then I’ll gladly accept that title. Like I said earlier, you’d be a fool not to.

            “I do not care if it makes other less safe”

            So after you have stated that you are literally an anti social sociopath you ask how permanently removing you from societly would be good for everyone else. Ok. I put this as blunt as possible so it is easy to understand, but obviously you need coloured pictures and a helper?

              Thanks for clarifying, that previous comment was difficult to decipher. Yeah I don’t know about all of that though, I don’t think that caring more about myself than strangers makes me an “anti social sociopath”. If there were two buttons in front of me, one that said “stay alive” and the other “cause a random person to die”, and I was required to press one, idk man. I think I would probably press the “stay alive” button. Which would you press?

              Sometimes I find that drawing a picture is the best way to visualize a concept. I have attached a drawing to this comment in order to help you understand - if you continue to make your comments difficult to understand then I’d appreciate it if you’d do the same.
