I think fightnight was trying to trap you and it seems that he's got you. It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't buckle yourself up because you believe that when it's your time to die, it's your time to die but you would want to give your child "a chance at survival." You've already said you don't believe in mitigating your chances of dying (giving yourself a chance to cheat death), so your argument here doesn't make sense.

ok here's the deal. I'm not going to tell a child what he should or shouldn't believe. Since I do know the stats of seatbelts, I'll buckle the kid up until he makes up his own mind. I don't know if I'm right about death being predetermined or not. It's what I think is best for me. You don't believe it.. that's a-ok with me. I'm not going to tell a kid hey, you're just gonna die, especially when they can't understand the concept of death. Furthermore, I don't give a shit about people trying to trap me or if my argument does or doesn't make sense. I won't wear a seatbelt and I don't give a shit if it's wrong or not.
