[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1136536, member: 72977"] Tbh this is always something I've wanted to discuss with those who bang on about freedom. Let's ignore the fact that humans are incapable of using that freedom responsibly and that increasing speed limits in residential areas would lead to more fatalities as there would be plenty of people speeding through them. However, is the freedom to go a bit faster where people live and children play, worth it if it means more deaths? Unfortunately for many people their freedom is more important than saving even one life. I thought about it too with CCTV. If CCTV could be used responsibly without corruption by those in charge (no unfortunately) would people still oppose it even if it meant saving 1 extra life. Is a person's life worth less than your freedom and privacy? The answer again is unfortunately that for many people their freedom and privacy is worth more than a person's life. [/QUOTE]
