But cars are used by licensed individuals who meet some minimum skill requirement. Most accidents are caused by reckless behavior from a person who is an adult who has been trained not to drive that way and who understands that other people would say that they are doing something wrong.

There is a huge gulf between a car accident and a stair accident. Far less of a gulf between cars and guns.

Are you afraid of a little discussion about cars in the fuck cars community? Do you want an echo chamber or a forum?

Is this a serious question? You're in a place called "fuck cars".

Edit: You can tell from their response that this is as far as they read.

Here is the description from the sidebar:

A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let’s explore the bad world of Cars!

It's not about being "afraid of a little discussion". It's about being able to read the room. The basis for this forum is that cars are "bad". If you want to defend cars, you're in the wrong place. People here have already decided that cars are bad enough that they say "fuck cars."

If you go into the "Science" community and want to post to defend astrology, and somebody says, "Really? You're going to defend astrology in a science community?" it's not an issue of being "afraid of a little discussion" or of it being "an echo chamber". It's that everybody there has decided that astrology is not worth defending in that place.
