    Yeah, people at large can be pretty dumb. Proof is everywhere. For instance; on my deodorant it says "do not apply to eyes" .... REALLY? The worst part when I see things like this is that I know that enough people have tried this that it necessitates a warning NOT to do it.
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    All it takes is for 1 idiot to do it and sue because the label didn't specifically say not to.
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Actually, I think that means that someone in either CA/NY/FL has done it with the intention of suing the manufacturer for a fat sum of money. Thank your local attorney for such warnings, if they didn't take frivolous lawsuits forward, we wouldn't have half the absurd warning labels that we now do.

    We need a new law that says if you use a product in a way that it doesn't say how to on the label, the manufacturer is not liable for any injury or death from mis-use. We need to stop trying to keep stupid people from doing stupid things and hurting themselves. Darwinism exists for a reason, we should not stand in the way.
