So, I get pretty annoyed with whiners and the stupid. A small few of them can manage to ruin or over simplify just about anything for the rest of us!

Do you remember when toys were made of metal and had sharp edges? Children's fare was made this way for decades until some idiot got scratched up or poked his eye out and his parents blamed the toy and not their own child's incompetence! Now toys are all made of cheap-ass plastic. The only things still metal are Hotwheels cars, at least I hope they are.

The whole blaming the manufacturer and not taking responsibility for your own actions nonsense has got stop! For the love of god and your own body stop suing everybody for every little thing! This toy has small parts and your child choked on them? Yeah, it must be the company's fault and not your own. I mean, who could have possibly predicted that a one year old would stick something in its mouth that wasn't supposed to go in there! This is what infants do, genius! Maybe, YOU should have considered the possibility before giving the damn thing to your own baby! But noooooo, it HAS to the toy maker's fault and now they have to put choking hazard warnings because of idiots like you who is obviously not smart enough to be raising a child!

And these "contents may be hot" warnings! Somebody sues someone because they were served an excessively hot product and now we all get warned. Gee, imagine me ordering a hot apple pie and being surprised that it's actually HOT when I go to eat it! Damn, don't they know I only like freezing cold apple pie? Get real! Even when I cook stuff myself I know enough to check how hot it is before taking a bite, so do you think I'm just going to dive into a hot apple pie someone else heated up? Of course not! "Boo hoo, I scalded my tongue on this hot coffee! The coffee shop people must be sued!!" Knock that shit off and display some basic level competence then maybe you won't get scalded when you order something hot!

Have you looked at some of the warning labels on certain things out there? You know those warnings are only there because some IDIOT somewhere actually had the stupidity to attempt these brainless acts? What do you mean I'm not supposed to iron my clothes while I'm wearing them?? How come I can't use my hair dryer while I'm sleeping? Are you SURE I shouldn't try to take food out of my blender while the blades are spinning? Stop. THINK! Do you really want to be known as the person who got the "warning -- do not ingest!" label put on a bag of concrete? Just... don't be stupid. Is that too much to ask people? Apparently, sometimes, yes.

William (may contain nuts)
