Green light urged to protect teens

did anyone catch that? Driving is a privilege, not a right!

Driving is a right if you meet certain criteria. You can not arbitrarily revoke this right, so stop parroting that dumb-assed phrase. Hint: anything you hear over and over again is likely a lie. Truths don't need repeating, which is why you hear a lot more lies than truth.

oh, you mean like on this site?

I was referring to teenagers, not adults and when it comes to teenagers, even truths need to be repeated.

Driving IS a privilege, Not a right. I believe this is stated on the D.L. test. Too many drivers shouldn't be behind the wheel !!

I think your totally wrong. The truth doesn't want to be hear because, truth hurts. That's why things like that need to be repeated. Also, why there's more lies than truth. Becuase you only want to hear what you want to hear.

The Constitution does not guarantee anyone the right to drive a car. In fact it doesn't guarantee us the right to a job or food on the table or even a house to live in. It only guarantees us the right to legally acquire those things through hard work. As far as I'm concerned children under the age of 18 have only those rights that their parents grant them.

I couldn't agree more.

Haha beat that Door KING!!

BTW, Door King, on another thread you told me there is no absolute truth. What the heck are you doing saying something is a lie??? Got a little hipocrisy going on?

Dont you mean the amendment s to the constitution. Remember those can get added when too many people start crying about an idea

Are not the amendments a part of the Constitution?
Who in his right mind would want something as trivial as driving being protected by the Constitution? The Constitutional amendments are for the important issues, such as free speech.

You are an enigma! On all of the forums I've seen you on, if 20 posters are of one opinion, you seem always to be 180 out of phase.

Of course driving is a right. If you pass the test, meet the age criteria, and can see well enough, the state can not prevent you from driving. It is your "right" to drive. It is a qualified right protected under the Constitution in the same way as rights to conduct commerce freely are protected. Also, it is protected under freedoms to assemble, to worship, and to acquire the basic needs of life, which in this country, mean driving in many situations. You can lose your right to drive by abusing it, or by demonstrating you are no longer physically able to drive, but as long as you are physically able, and do not break the law, it's your right. Hardly a privilege. A privilege is something only a select few can do, like sit in the first class lounge at the airport. Kings and Queens have privileges. Owners of country club memberships have privileges. Drivers have licenses.

Remember, when you hear something over and over again, it is mostly likely B.S. Like "Jesus died for our sins," a belief that can only be sustained by constant repetition. You don't hear radio preachers shouting all morning that two plus two equals four. This is a truth we can see on our fingers. And if they shout two plus two equals five, we don't get angry. We simply turn the dial. I turned the dial decades ago. I don't listen to B.S.

You sure do put a lot of it out for not listening to it. A right is guaranteed under the Constitution. A privilege is granted if the correct hoops are jumped through. Getting a driver's license requires jumping through hoops. That makes it a privilege. The Constitution guarantees you the right to be an idiot, but it doesn't guarantee you the right to drive.

Being allowed to vote now requires a photo i.d., a hole. Go peddle your b.s. somewhere else.

What does voting have to do with driving????????? You don't need a driver's license to vote, just a photo I D. That can be issued even without a license. There you go again, saying something someone else said is BS when you told me just the other day that there is no absolute truth. Or is your silly-assed opinion what you consider absolute truth?

I feel sorry for you dude. Get your head screw on straight. The man that you say is bull. That man's father can save you from going to hell because of what that man did for us. I know your not perfect I know you sin. So, don't tell me Jesus didn't die for us. Because if he didn't we'd all be going to hell. I hope I you find your way.

yup
