whats next?

pornstars ask for penis shape to be changed

probably a warning label will suffice

When society has to warn people about food SHAPES rather than CONTENTS, we're doomed.

can now mean DANGER

Know why we cant park trailers (Motorcycle, Jet ski, boat, utility, any) on the street overnight in MoCo?  Evidently children were dying in droves because of these deadly nuisances. 

THANK GOD the children are being saved!

Damn it! If some kid dies because you werent responsible enough to teach them to chew, then maybe, just maybe there is some higher power working here saying "you know, this one just isnt gonna make it, lets cut our losses while we still can"
Ever hear of natural selection? survival of the fittest? sometimes i think people advocate too much for those who aren't supposed to be around, and that alone is the cause of our country becoming weaker, our gene pool becoming more diluted, and our workforce becoming lazier!

Ducpainter hates it when I bring up the nanny state, but it is true.  We are a society completely obsessed with safety.  Put kids in the equation and just watch your freedom of choice evaporate.  Pretty soon hot dogs will be fist sized spheres so you can't choke on them.  I'm more of a safety second or third sort of guy.......

A biologist friend of mine had an observation.  He stated that the farther we as individuals are removed from the sources of our food, the goofier we get.

It makes sense, there are so many steps between the door and the dominos delivery guy that those people on "the biggest loser" have become extremely goofy over the years....it's science

Hey, get to work F-er! 

Says the man presently behind a computer....i'll have you know that i am very mentally exhausted from my 20 min interview on saturday.

I hate this stuff with a passion.

Nature has a way of weeding out the weak.  If it's not chewing food/choking, it would be sticking your fingers in the electric plug-ins, or falling thru 2nd floor windows, plastic bag over the head, etc etc etc

do you think there would be more plastic bag deaths if there wasnt a warning label on it?
