What the hell has happened to society people? Everything has to have a warning label on it. Why? Are we that stupid? I'm not trying to be dramatic or sarcastic, I'd really like to know. Do we really need to be warned not to use an electric hair dryer in the shower? After a couple hundred years of using electricity, are people still grasping the fact that it doesn't mix well with water? Are we really that dumb, or are the corporations of the world trying their best to avoid any liability for accidents?
Yes.
Yes, some of us are that dumb, and yes the businesses of the world don't want to be sued because of it.
Common sense will cease to exist in future generations. Because there will be no need for it. Most kids learned the stove was hot by touching it, but in the future there will be neon signs deterring that, and alarms that go off when a hand gets near the burner.
I believe car accidents will go up though. When I learned to drive, I was taught that a car was an object to be respected and feared. It was something that could help you achieve anything, but it could kill you. Could kill you by your mistake, or someone else's. Nowadays, with all the safety features that come standard (Airbags everywhere, ABS, crumple zones, LED lights,) you'd assume it was completely safe. No. They aren't. Kids these days think that, because they have all these features, they can drive like idiots. Wrong. In my opinion, instead of making cars safer in an accident, they should set stronger restrictions for driving. Enforce the fact that driving is a privilege and not a right.
But, anyhow, all of this just goes to prove that we have become a society of victims. People that will sue over the slightest thing, just because it's easy money.
It makes me sick. Apparently, responsibility and common sense are no longer welcome today. Well, I guess I could sue all you people for causing me to feel depressed. Hope you have a good lawyer....
I'm done....

There is a fine moment in Douglas Adams book So Long and Thanks For All The Fish where a character called Wonko The Sane has come to the conclusion that the world is completely insane after reading the "instructions for use" on a package of toothpicks.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe it should be a class action lawsuit against all of the "self-imposed" victims. If we got $10 from each we could get Billions...
