Rant number 228
There are far too many allowances that are being made for idiots these days and I really think it needs to stop.
In the past, everyone was left to their own devices - and those with sense survived and those without didn't.
Maybe we should just bring back 'the common sense factor'
I am specifically of course, referring to warning labels of various sorts - which are evidently there only to account for complete numpties.
For instance: A pack of peanuts does not need to bear the warning label: warning, may contain nuts. That's kind of obvious surely? If it didn't and it say contained - a small czechoslovakian fruit seller called Umberto, that would be quite disappointing and rather misleading.
And before anyone decides to correct me on the above because the peanut is actually a legume rather than a true nut - I already know that smarty pants. None the less - it comes under the same allergy, so your point is moot!
An Iron, a toaster or hair straighteners - all items that are meant to heat up, do not need labels that read 'warning, do not touch hot surface.' People who choose to touch these things are so stupid that they deserve the burns and blisters!
Then there are myriad products that suggest you keep plastic bags, knives and various other products away from small children.
If you need telling to keep these products away from your precious children, you probably don't deserve to have any!
The world does not owe you life and works at its own grown up pace. We shouldn't have to cater for those with no common sense surely - or is it just me?
Hell, I say let people get on with it. When you fancy putting your tongue into an electric fan, or putting ball bearings in your shoes or whatever - just go for it. You'll learn the hard way!
Rant over.
