To fulfill my desire to drive a car i'm required to have a license that allows me to do so...

Exactly! Your desire is not to have a license, it's to drive a car. Getting a license is a requirement, something you HAVE to do, not what you WANT to do.

Tony Cooper
And why is that requirement in place? Could it be because someone *wanted* that to be a requirement?

Sandman
No, someone NEEDED to require people to take driver's license in order to minimize traffic accidents.

It's the same thing, Andreas.

DESIRE - Less traffic accident The government WANT less traffic accidents

REQUIREMENT - Driver license

The government didn't sit down one day and say "Hey, I want driver's licenses". Driver licenses are a means to an end. The end in this case is what the government WANTED.

I wouldn't snip a line of this. It is probably the weakest, most ill-formed, argument I've ever seen.

In it, you've actually arrived at the conclusion that the requirement of a driver's license is based - born of - a want...exactly my position.

I don't understand why you continue, you've already proven way beyond a shadow of a doubt that you're way out to lunch and way out of your league on this one, why not just quietly ignore all of this and pretend you never said this stupidity:
