So you're saying the writer tried to support his opinion, with more of his own opinions? Wow, must be even more retarded than previously thought. I mean, is that your interpretation that both sentences are opinion or was it stated somewhere else that the speed limit remark is his opinion too? Perhaps I'm just giving the writer too much credit in knowing the argumentative process.
I believe that
Hence why I believe
In my opinion

If your behavior, DUI, collecting nuclear waste, firing guns off in random directions, etc., is likely to cause harm to innocent ppl outside of your control, then yes.
If you can come up with a way to DUI without likely causing harm (i.e. likely = no harm to others as long as it does not involve 3rd party terrorists etc.), then I would accept that as safe.
Do I want to outlaw all possible harm, no, not reasonable, but reckless behavior, oh yes...that should not be allowed.
You have no right to hurt someone other than yourself...and if you want help harming yourself, let me know

If I am understanding your logic, it would seem that we should ban all alcohol and cigarettes.

The original poster wasn't arguing, they were sharing their opinion, which is the context in which the entire thing was written, as indicated several times by these key phrases:
I'm not trying to be a dick here, but you keep clowning the original poster, all the while missing some pretty blatant cues yourself. Maybe you should concentrate less on the ad hominem attacks and more on the substance of the discussion?

You seem very intent on "facts" when it's a discussion about an opinion.
