I was with you right up until "We need to get rid of ESC, ABS, AEB, etc.".

That is unreasonable. ABS, ESC, and AEB all exist to interpret what the driver intends. The driver does not intend for their wheels to lock up, that's why ABS exists, nor does the driver intend to skid. You can argue that AEB does not reflect the will of the driver, but it can also be disabled.

Plus, there are vaccines to prevent it.

I don't think the average voter even knows what a derivative is, sadly.

From whose perspective and what are we considering right and left? The Democratic party is left of center on social issues, even compared to Europe.

Funny, all the "small government" people I know are fine with this.

The burden of proof is on the state, not the accused. The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt, the accused is not obligated to provide anything in his defense.

In many cases, you're obligated to not record people in public without their permission. That's the norm, for example, in Sweden, apparently.

Must be nice to make claims without evidence.

I'm not. The Swedish government is a lot like California's: it's a lot less progressive than it pretends to be.

In the English Language, "American" refers only to people from the US. Try referring to a Canadian as an "American", I dare you.

You can call us just "Americans". The US is unnecessary, thank you.

Well, Omegle doesn't exist anymore, so that's a true statement anyhow.

The death penalty is a question of fact, not of law, according to current SCOTUS precedent.

I remember singing this in my 8th grade physics class in middle school for extra credit. Circa 2007.

It's hilarious how today we have a variant of this same argument with desktop vs. mobile CPUs.

Interesting that UK statutes don't define "sexual image". Most statutes here in the US do, just for clarity.

Our definition of intent is the same, though. "Knows or reasonably should have known".
