The Speed Camera Lottery - The Fun Theory

Follow us on http://www.facebook.com/thefuntheory

The winning idea of the fun theory award, submitted by Kevin Richardson, USA. Can we get more people to obey the speed limit by making it fun to do? This was the question Kevin's idea answered and it was so good that Volkswagen, together with The Swedish National Society for Road Safety, actually made this innovative idea a reality in Stockholm, Sweden.

well yeah... with a speed camera vs no speed camera people are definitely going to reduce their speed. fun speed camera vs boring speed camera is the only way to see how well this works.

Might just be my opinion, but I'd rather live in a country, where I pay for a social system, so everyone in need will have money, than in some wild and unsocial area. I like that a government can provide monetary help for parents. I like that roads and cities are built for everyone's use and that someone cares about pollution and people's security. I don't know in which country you live, but drawing the conclusion that all governments commit theft seems a bit narrow-minded to me.

Only because its out own government that is just too dumb to figure it out. And i would have voted, if they weren't so dumb as to publish the wrong addresses to vote at for voting at the last minute.

This idea makes too much sense to be implemented

No. I think that you may actually be imposing your own perception of yourself onto me. I am not attempting to insult you. I am suggesting that the reason you are insulting me is because YOU think that about yourself, not because I believe you are a dickhead. Also, I believe it is you who is name calling, not me. How is it that You are not behaving in a childish manner? Yet another contradiction you have to resolve.

[Matt de Oliveira]

That is not possible or necessary. You do not need to know who will pick the cotton to know that the slaves should be free. Your requirement for me to organize an entire world is stupid.

[Matt de Oliveira]

I do not think that I am mistaken when I assume you are making these comments in an attempt to communicate with me. Because that is your purpose, I am asking you to help me understand what you are trying to communicate by defining a term that I am not familiar with.So, what is a wanker?

[Matt de Oliveira]

I think that the reason you refuse to be responsive to any of my questions, arguments, and requests is because you have nothing worthwhile to add. Instead of using your time to type meaningless responses, why not post something that actually addresses my position. Unless you are incapable. If that is the case, just admit that you do not comprehend the topic.

Is that your way of saying 'Am not! You are!'. Bit childish but never the less reflective of your overall argument.

I reject your reality, and instead, supplant my own. So there!

I like cats

[kwh71]

yes

There was a time when I would debate this shit with you, but that time has past. I simply find your constant struggle to get along with the world humorous. After-all, it keeps me gainfully employed, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

You see, you have mistaken my comment "You're a wanker" for someone who could give a shit what you think or believe. I couldn't give a toss if you don't like paying taxes. Fact is, by the very nature of being a wanker, you're selfish.

[Matt de Oliveira]

So, you give charitable contributions to your government, and you think that makes taxes voluntary? Tell me, why are there penalties for not paying? Is that just"motivation" to "do the right thing"? Do you even think through your responses and actually examine what I post?

Since you are so fond of wankers, please define for me what a wanker is so that I can better understand why you feel it necessary to try to put me in this seemingly favorite category of yours.
