I’m not saying that it can’t be a problem for some people but again that’s the cost of freedom people are allowed to make their own choices with what they purchase and what they do. if you don’t like that you are totally free to remove yourself from the situation any which way you see fit.
@[email protected] did not say which rights were at issue. Sleep is proven to be essential for survival. It’s also important to livelihoods. Sleep deprivation is also a common torture tactic as well as a driving impairment worse than intoxication. Perhaps no state’s constitution covers this but some of the relevant rights are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Your suggestion is that people experiencing antisocial behaviour that affects their health and wellbeing should just move to a new house? Where the same thing can easily happen again? And that we, as a society, should do absolutely nothing else about it?
Deranged take, worthy of a ‘libertarian’ teenager.
A single loud exhaust can wake up 10,000 people. The impact on mental and physical health if this happens a few times a night is immense.
Motorists had their chance to not ruin the world for everyone else, and they failed the test. Time to intervene.

The freedom of one ends where it infringes on the rights of others.
I don’t think that applies to the scenario really
Well, getting woken up several times a night (although in our case it’s usually motorcycles) is an infringement of rights. So yes, it does.
do you have a constitutional right to stay asleep? I highly doubt it
Do you have a constitutional right to drive a car? I highly doubt that
that wouldn’t change anything in this argument any which way you slice it

it’s amazing how often people inject their own thoughts into your speech just to insult you
@sturmblast @median_user This is entirely obviously untrue.
