Survival of the fittest

Child-proof lighters...

Any child with average intelligence can get one to work. If lighters are so dangerous that they need to be child-proof then aren't we just setting it up intelligent children to seriously injure themselves at the least? We could be killing off our future brain pool while the lil idiots who can't figure out how to usea lighter survive and thrive.

We're dicking around with evolution, basically, and that ain't right.

OK...my headaches badly and that whole dicking around with evolution thing just made me giggle.

Thank You BBD you're the man.

What about having to label soda bottle?

"warning opening this bottle near your face can result in injury and or disfigurement"

GODDAMN LAWYERS

I think BBD might resemble the Lawyer part of that statement.

Naw, that's only directed at the PI schmucks.

But I do believe those warnings are further evidence of mucking with evolution. Sorry, couldn't repeat the dicking around thing for ya again.

Think about it. We're protecting stupid people from themselves, and we even let them get rich in court when they're really stupid. What's this world coming to?

 

[lilfrk]

What's this world coming to?

Money and Sex?



OK...being serious for a minute. The world is coming to a point when stupid people get rewarded big bucks to screw up. While sorta smart people like me go to work everyday and struggle just to get by.

The stupid person that I'm reminded of right now is the woman that spilled coffee on her crotch and go millions for it. What part of hot coffee makes you think uh yeah...I'll park that right here between my legs. It'll be safe AND it'll stay warm.

In all my 29 years it's never occured to me to park anything like that between my legs thank you very much. So I guess until I get a brilliant idea like that...I'm stuck working 40 hours a week in a nursing home.

OK...I've rambled enough about stupid people.

BTW...the daddy part of your name is growing on me...I still can't imagine it being a good thing during sex though.

(Yes, when I have a headache I say and think stupid shit, this post is proof of that)

Well it's not a requirement...geez.

I just said geez...sheesh.


You know, I've put coffee between my legs like that before but that's neither here nor there. I wear pants anyway so at least I have some protection.

I can actually rationalize the decision in that case. Everyone hears that she spilled her coffee and received untold millions. What never gets reported is that the award was later reduced and there was some merit to the case based on the way McDonald's brewed their coffee. They also could have settled quickly if they had agreed to pay only her medical expenses.

She was still pretty stupid, but she's already procreated so it's too late to care.

I like the one I heard about in the US, around the same time, where some guy was riding a bike at night, got hit by a car and sued the bike manufacturer for not putting enough warnings on their bikes about it being unsafe to ride at night.

I actually did know that the settlement had be reduced and that McD's brewed their coffee way too hot. I also saw the pictures of what happened to her from the coffee. Which was brutal to say the least. And the whole time I still think to myself...Why on earth would you put coffee between your legs? I don't even put cold stuff there to hold when I'm driving.

Then again...I'm odd. I'm not even smart enough to deny I'm odd.

Is geez a bad word and I don't know it?

I prefer sheesh; that's all.

my best friend David prefers sheesh too...must be a man thing

I haven't seen a child-proof lighter in years. Are they still trying to push them? I think it's a dead issue.

I did get a laugh from a wax-filled glass candle emblazoned with the Sacred Heart of Jesus in picture and text, that included the line "Keep away from children".

Child proof lighters are standard in Canada now...I've had to get my daughter to show me how to make mine work at times!

You're daughter's too smart for her own good. She could day any second. That's how dangerous lighters must be if childproofing is necessary.

lilfrk, I had a few drinks for you. You can come get your headache back now.

I haven't seen a NON-childproof lighter in years -- at least not a disposable lighter that wasn't child-proof. I've seen damned few non-disposable lighters for that matter.

 

[phrodeau]

I get free lighters where I buy ciggies, so my POV may be skewed, but I haven't even noticed child-proof lighters in the hands of fellow smokers.

 

[teddybear4play]

FUCK childproof . . .

The only way to go.

Awww...I'm sorry. I don't really want it back though, can't you give it to someone else? Please...Pretty Please...


My blowdryer says: "Do Not Use while bathing." OMG I'm not supposed to shower and blowdry my hair at the same time? Holy Shit I should have read that little tag sooner.

 

[BBD]

Okay, I passed it on to someone more deserving.

I think lately I've been seeing more of what they call "child-resistant" lighters. They take more effort to light, supposedly more than a little kid could handle.

But does that get rid of the strong ones?

 

[lilfrk]

Thank You, you're too good to me.


Here's my deal with the lighters. I think that if you're a good parent you'll teach your child to never ever play with lighters or matches, child resistant or not. If your child is a strong child they will listen to you.

My daughter is 8 years old and if she finds matches or a lighter she brings them to me or her father and says: "Here take this and put it away I don't want anyone to get hurt with it." Then again I could just be very lucky when it comes to her.

I would also never dream of handing her a lighter that I couldn't get to work and say: "Can you figure this out for me?"
