A place to keep my work.
Stupid is an understatement...
Published on April 25, 2016 By Uvah In Life, the Universe and Everything

I just saw a report watching nbc news. Its about the laundry pods used to do laundry. They're brightly colored and look like big candies. Ergo...children love candy and these pods are very tempting. Two deaths...several comas... and a few cardiac arrests later doctors say that you should use traditional detergents, make sure the zip lock bags they come in and actually zipped and to keep all detergents out of the reach of children. My question is this......

Why the hell don't the powers that be suggest/force these companies to make then less enticing/tempting for children. Adults can read, they know what they're getting and hopefully comprehend what they're reading. But for whatever reason these things just keep on happening. When are people going to learn a little common sense. It appears that common sense may be an alien concept to them. Either that or they just don't give a damn.

We need the humor after being depressed by how dumb people are.

Mine took hers off in the crib and went a bit further and finger-painted the crib and wall with it.

I blame Po'.

She probably does better art than you anyway.

I blame DrJBHL!!!

Yup, it's ALL his fault.  He says it's only natural for babes/tots to eat crap, to paint walls and items of furniture with it.  There's the mother "You dirty, dirty little so n' so!!! "... and the father saying "but it's only natural' - as per DrJBHL's advice - so the kid naturally does it again... and again..... AND AGAIN!!!!!!

Bloody doctors.... think they know everything!   It's natural to breathe, but the world woulda been a whole lot better if a certain Germanic dictator hadn't drawn breath.

Yeah, I make my case!  Bloody doctors [bloody often being the operative word] think they know everything.... like the idiot doctor who thinks he's gonna perform a successful 'head transplant'.   Connecting the brain stem and the spinal cord?  Good luck with that one sunshine. 

Then there's the doctor who pioneered cutting off blokes willies and turning them into 'female parts' before stitching them back on.  How bloody stupid!  in this day and age of transplants, why not just cut off the willy and give it to a woMAN who wants one, and giver her 'female parts' to a WOman who wants some?

Case MADE!!!!  Doctors don't have a bloody clue, do they... and there they are saying it's okay for kids to paint shit over furniture, walls and themselves.  If that's the case, then doctors should be made to come clean it up, right?

Nah, that's where the sun don't shine, pommy boy. And you'd need a spine too, btw.

Well...we didn't want you feeling bad about your home decor, mate...but aren't the flies getting a bit thick there, down under?

Some of the safety products are pretty dangerous themselves. I remember placing plastic caps over the electrical outlets throughout the house, and my son figured out how to remove them in a matter of seconds, and then tried to put the plastic thing in his mouth.

The law of unintended consequences is universal and immutable, Borg.  More reliable than the Gas Laws.

What!!!!  There's laws on gas.

 

 

Oh, and Doc, I saw what you posted... I will NOT forget.... as neither would you.  I will respond when I'm not so tired.

Must admit, though, I do love a bit of joshing between us... hence my post to inspire some 'retaliation'.

That is the only way he can get a rise anymore. Hope that chair doesn't stop till it's on the Moon.

With all the other things in the news about parents, i.e. a husband and wife found passed out in their car from being drunk with a 4 year old in the back seat here in Indiana. Kids shooting themselves with a parents gun, twice in the last month! You name it! It is NOT a companies fault, it is not the product, it is about STUPID, DUMBASS, IDIOTIC, BRAINLESS, WITLESS human beings that have no right to even create a child! 

Some people should flat out have their children taken away from them! Use of common sense seems to be lacking within the entire human race nowadays! Just my personal opinion.

What this guy said. Parents should take the blame 100% if something like that happens to their kids at home.

Just what the moon needs...another crater.

Not the first time he's visited, though...lotsa craters there...
