The World of PC Madness

Of course it's bad for you, anybody knows that. I'm all for freedom, especially when is comes to smoking, but I would never do when it might effect others. In my opinion there shouldn't be smoking (of any kind) in any public places.

 

Back in the 1950's UK TV adverts they made smoking look cool.

 

I just heard on the radio this morning that use of any "hand held" device while in a cross-walk in New York City is/will be/are considering to be (only heard part of it) subject to a 100$ fine.
I-pod, Blackberry, cell phone, etc.

What about hot-dogs, icecream cones, bagels, and cigarettes, and babies ??
Soon enough it will be "fine-able" to do anything except breathe...

You'll probably have to wear a "feed-bag" like a horse, so your hands will be free !!

 

Last week, on the radio I heard this crass one and it comes from Wales a primary school head teacher has ban the pupils from making mother day's cards, why you ask? In case any of the pupils has no mother.

 

I've heard talk of legislation that will ban just about everything while behind the wheel. Eating, drinking, talking, scratching your ass....EVERYTHING!

 

Very possible here in the UK, I can see the Labour Government slapping a green tax on farting.

 

Richard, there was a tax labelled the fart tax (for the cows etc.) that almost made it into NZ legislation but a uproar by the public and farmers especially got the whole thing scapped at the last minute. Theere are plans to build a seperate swimming pool down south for muslims with burkhas who dont want to to go a swimming pool with other members of the society.

 

Actually, an English council recently announced plans for the same swimming pool thing here, although I think they only meant closing to all but Muslims on specified week days. Wish I could remember where it was though.........

 

Saw in the paper today that some poor single mother in London is facing the possibility that her son will be taken from her by government social services because the boy is very obese. Sure, the government takes the kid and screws his life up far worse than being overweight. But, that is nothing compared to not eating and having a proper 'lifestyle' to the PC crowd.

 

Poor single mother my posterior, the kid is not overweight, he is somewhere between a sumo wrestler and a sea elephant!

90kgs at 8 years old, he can't even reach to scratch his backside due to his diet of burgers, chips, cokes etc. And the hapless mother says nobody told her not to feed the boy like that, this is arrant strupidity.

Hell, I think my belly isn't any athletical at all and I'm a lot less than that weight!

What makes me angry about this subject is that I have a niece just like that. Her father died young and my imbecilic sister in law in order to compensate started filling her up with comphort food, so now at 15 she tips at more than 120kg, that is, three times more than my daughter of the same age or twice my weight!

 

She may be a doting idiot. He may be an idiot too. But, it is no business of the state in any case. That was my point. The state, in the vast majority of cases, should not be there to save me from my own stupidity. Think of it as chlorine in the gene pool.....something there is nowhere near enough of these days.

 

Za, you must have had a bad hair day when you wrote that ! None of you usual sensitivity.

I think it's because you miss Chrome to unleash your hostility on.

 

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here."

 

Huh - I can out-tough Travis Bickle.....

I have a Swiss Army Pocket Knife ( not the huge one ) purchased in Switzerland some years ago - it has a handy-sized blade and corkscrew/ can opener and is perfect for use on picnics in the country. Also, the blade locks so that the user cannot accidentally fold it thus cutting the web of the hand.

BUT - under the VCR Act (2006) which is soon to be law ( that's Violent Crime Reduction Act for the uninitiated ) this knife is officially an offensive weapon and is illegal.

You wavin' that cucumber sandwich at me.....?

 

Watch it! You'll pull someone's eye out with that can opener!

 

[Rant] What really gets me is that some half-baked politico F***wit actually had the nerve to claim this would have any effect on the sort of nutters that carry a fairburn sykes to the pub; without acknowledging it'll only really affect the harmless majority who occasionally like to.. cut string, or eat cheese al fresco.
Mind you, the 'stabby' types are probably too dim to realise they can do much more damage with a fully legal half-brick.[/Rant]

Apologies,
Adam.

 

At this rate I will have to hand over my steak knives.

 

But think of how exciting my picnics will be - every time I cut an apple in half, wondering if I'll get ten years at Guantanamo Bay.

OTOH, I could probably take along an AK-47, Mac-10 and Glock in case someone 'disses' me or my wife, and get twelve hours Community Service.....

 

Watch it- he's got a broken milk carton!!!!!
