As an european I do believe that the European Comission really hates innovation and they believe everyting should be regulated as if only the politicians know what's best for every one. Like they're trying to regulate what kind of chargers we can use, the maximum speed cars can reach, what you can say on the internet and so on. All in the name of safety, terrorism and all other buzzwords politicians throw around to make it sound important. If we'd had the EC 30-40 years ago, most probably would all still be using dial-up for internet or maybe DSL at best and still have BBSs.

And PoignardAzure, yes, I do believe seatbelts and motorcycle helmets should be optional. If you die because you're too cool for them, you die - simple as that.
