Re: Stop the Wiggas!

We cannot make the assumption that people are responsible and have good judgement.

Thus how can a government composed of the people be entrusted with the responsible to make good judgment. This one contradiction upsets the entire foundation of your argument.

A woman fairly recently put her RV in cruise control then left the wheel to make herself a sandwich then successfully sued the RV manufacturer! Holy Crap!

This is one isolated incident. Post statistics and then you will have a case. There will always be "exceptions" to every rule.

We are asking our GOVERNment time and time again to save us from ourselves by instituting rules and laws that are for our own good.

Who is? We ask our government to protect us from one another, allowing us to live harmoniously, but I do not see/understand the point you are trying to make with this statement. Not to mention there are various special interest groups pushing for less governmental influence/control over today's culture/society.

We need laws in place to stop Nebraskan middle-class tweenagers from dressing up and walking around like they're from the 'hood. It's for their own good and it's for the good of everyone around them. They are cheapening REAL ghetto culture and being pretentious

I believe you are starting to diverge from the issue at hand, but I will entertain your statement. And argue that by censoring ones dress you are in effect putting a hold on individuality which is part of what makes are world so great, the various differences which spring up and propel us to great new heights.

and honestly just looking like asses.

Personal opinion = null and void to factual argument.

Also by stating that individuals who dress in this manner or listen to certain types of music you are degrading their culture, indirectly exclaiming yours to be superior.

If they weren't exposed to such explicit lyrics, they wouldn't try to engage in drive-by cow-tippings potato-gun shootings.

This is not a proven theory. As I stated earlier the type of music listened to or the type of video games played has not been proven to have a causal relationship with the type of behavior exhibited by individuals.
