I'm wondering what a lot of you weenies would do with a unicycle. Talk about danger...

Hahahaha, my sister knows how to juggle and unicycle at the same time.

Their charter is not to eliminate danger. Fortunately.

It is to restrict the sales of things that are "unreasonably" dangerous...a term that doesn't have a precice meaning. But when a bureaucrat needs to justify his existance, definitions suddenly becomes*very* stretchy.

That string there...it is unreasonably dangerous. You could choke on it, or trip over it. There's no warnings on the packaging at all...a death trap for the unwary consumer.


Edit to repair typo: "string" for "sting"

I think Bin Laden is using trial lawyers to lower America's IQ.

I can't figure out wtf their charter is really... there was no product at all in this instance.

All of you have a valid point, but honestly, it's not like swallowing 5 tons of molten steel and then taking a dip in the smelter. I'm not saying it's the kitemaker's fault this guy got hurt, but it's the kind of thing that could happen to anyone who isn't careful. This isn't a case of idiocy, it's a case of carelessness.

A lot of those advocating this crap sound a lot like Tipper Gore's music rant from the 80's... same lunacy.

Explicit Lyrics
 
I must say that, as a young male in the 80s, I was irrevocably damaged by the pernicious lyrics of rock music. It colored my perception of the world to the point where I acted out every death metal command I heard. Me and my like-minded friends burnt down houses, murdered, raped, and pillaged entire communities, and brought a hail of death and destruction upon all people who got in our way. That is the power of music and lyrics.

No. I've been on The Cellar since the mid-1990s... so far you've been here a week and have posted twice.

Will you be back in another week to check on whether you got any bites here?
Which law firm are you shilling for again? You can tell us...

They told you if you sprinkled in some mispellings the astroturfing would look realistic, I see.
