"I'm traveling, not driving!"
It baffles me that they always believe that this is a valid argument. What a bunch of morons.
I'd like to learn how to travel in my car without actually drivimg. And also why a different word for the same thing should make a legal difference. This is dumber than flat earth shit
different wording is a high standard for them. they think capitalization makes a difference lol
This is the first step.
The UK ones (and yeah somehow there are UK ones) like to distinguish between a car and an mechanical horse. Of course a car is an mechanical horse but in their minds there is a distinction.
I think a lot of it stems from the fact that when cars first came into existence no one really quite knew how to define them, so they were often just classified as horses. For the most part this worked because back then most cars could barely go above 5 miles an hour, so there wasn't really any reason to have special laws.
Of course laws have been updated since then, but let's not take that into account.
they just think they have some kind of Konami code for real life. except it's always about stupid shit like driving. they never extend the "logic" to other crimes.
ok, so if you just commit murder can you get out of it by saying "I'm not murdering, I'm engaging in extreme hypnosis"?
same thing for when they say "I'm not a citizen of the US/didn't consent to the laws so they don't apply to me" well ok so foreigners can just come in and do whatever they want?
it's incredible how much time they put into "researching" this inane set of beliefs but waste zero seconds thinking about the implications.
