some things just bother me.
the stamp on gun barrels " warning thisfirearm is dangerous"
If you are seeking conclusive proof that humanity has no hope left, I give you this demented label. What do people think a gun is and does? I know that lawyers have to be involved, but even when you factor in the product-liability racket, there is still a certain Alice in Wonderland quality to this warning. Maybe we should put a sign on the front of every locomotive that reads, DO NOT STAND ON TRACKS WHILE TRAIN IS IN MOTION. Or on the steering columns of automobiles: FAILURE TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPROACHING STATIONARY OBJECTS AT HIGH SPEED CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Anyone who can explain this phenomenon can probably also tell us why Paris Hilton is famous. |
RE: some things just bother me.
I have seen the video, I know why she is famous...;)
But seriously, you are so right. Like the warning on lawn mowers about not putting your hand in the moving blades.... |
RE: some things just bother me.
Anyone who can explain this phenomenon can probably also tell us why Paris Hilton is famous.  those kind of remind me of the "listed" objects you cannot take on an airplane, such as a "rocket launcher, gallon of gas, hand gernade" and the list gets even worse, can't remember them all, and understood even less of them:eek:, i mean if your goin to granma's for Christmas and can't even take your rocket launcher, how much fun is that gonna be  |
RE: some things just bother me.
exactly ray. its like one of those "duh" things. if you are stupid enough to put your hand where moving blades are. i bet you wolnt do it again. ;)

RE: some things just bother me.
the last part was a joke. see hehehe.:D she is hot as hell but she is one of thosestupid people i can see putting her hands where moving blades are on a mower..lol

One of my personal favorites is the warning that comes on the silica gel packets that reads "do not eat". Sort of like, "hey I bought a new pair of shoes and they threw in a free snack."
When I was into astronomy, there was a warning on my telescope that told people not to use it to look at the sun. |
RE: some things just bother me.
how about coffee cups at say...burgerking...now have labels saying caution HOT!...i worked there i know....when i left the cups had it in spanish too!! i think mccdonalds got sued for HOT coffee or something like that a while back......but what kind of judge could hold back a laugh when someone said their coffee was hot?!?!?!

RE: some things just bother me.
In today's world it come down to. How can I make money and who can I blame for my stupidity.... The items wasn’t labeled properly, wasn’t enough warnings, I couldn’t read it because of the small print, and on and on and on. If only people would more accountable for there actions.

RE: some things just bother me.
Everyone wants to blame a lawyer, how about the money grabbing person who hired him/her????????????????????
It's all about "average people" getting greedy andlooking fora way to get some "instant" money!!! Those warning were forced there by the court system, because some "average person" hired a lawyer and sued!! Drilling Man |

Greed, and money! Negligence is one thing, but nothing can compensate against stupidity! Gun makers are responsible for people getting shot, car makers, liable for accidents, even homeowners reponsible for burglars getting hurt on their property! Where will it end? All of our freedoms lost, if we are not careful! Thats where![:@] |
RE: some things just bother me.
For most of the stupid warnings out there, there was probably one or more people who proved the warnings were needed.

RE: some things just bother me.
DM I agree with you to a point, but when you are laid up with a broke leg and all you see on TV all friggin day is "you have been wronged hire me so I can get you what you have coming" does say the vultures aren't waiting for things to die any more. When I was a young man (just say a few days ago) there was a suit that was won because ladders didn't have a warning stating that manure may become slippery if it thaws, common sense heck what is that any more

Try as they may, you just can't legislate intelligence---------

One of the reasons why I won't buy any more Rugers. Its blatantly obvious that they care more about answering to lawyers and protecting the lowest common denominator from themselves than giving the customer a good looking product[:'(]
The last Ruger I bought was a Bearcat. It had really fineroll stampings on the cylinder that were more than canceled out by the 'owners manual' on the barrel that looked like it was stamped on by some brute with a sledge hammer. |

Anyone who can explain this phenomenon can probably also tell us why Paris Hilton is famous. Since her suit was brought in a Texas court, she didn't get very far with it. But I have often wondered if she had read the owners manual for that pistol before she shot herself with it?? I doubt that a warning on the barrel would have helped her much![:'(] |

RE: some things just bother me.
No one hired lawyers to sue tobacco company's. they did that on their own, and asked people to join in on the class action. But who took 40 percent of the lump sump ? While the rest had to be divied up. By now"every one" SHOULD know what tobaco does to you, but when i was a kid the tobaco companys said it was "good for you" and would "calm your nerves" and on and on and ON! Yes, it does sound stupid now, but back then folks believed them, and paid for it with there lives!!! They even spiked the tobacco to make it more adictive!! I have NO use for the tobacco companys or those that run them! They nearly got away with murder! (and in some ways still are) Drilling Man |
