It indemnified makers of "patently dangerous" products like base-jumping gear, firearms, and tobacco products that anyone at the moron or higher intelligence level knows when used as directed have a very good chance of killing the user or someone nearby.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately in order to get some cash out of the big national tobacco settlement the law was scrapped. Right after that hang gliding spots and skate parks started closing down.<BR/><BR/>Can't we just have a notice put on every birth certificate that says- "Life is terminal, participate at your own risk."?<BR/><BR/>JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15420715964355120988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883420.post-1117649716064902632005-06-01T13:15:00.000-05:002005-06-01T13:15:00.000-05:00On : 5/27/2005 1:47:04 PM magikgrl (www) said:Very...On : 5/27/2005 1:47:04 PM magikgrl (www) said:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Very good points Zelda dear, heh, however, I just put a deposit for my first skydive.

I can't say I like it because it is hard to enjoy others' pain, but they are invaluable cautionary tales.<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/><BR/>On : 5/27/2005 2:23:09 PM Gooch (www) said:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Probably a good 18 years ago a protester laid down on the train tracks near the Concord Naval Weapons Station in Northern CA to protest the delivery of munitions for weapons development or some such thing.

Today's parents want so badly for their offspring to be perfect, they put them on a pedestal and refuse to believe they can do anything wrong. It's always somebody else's fault. It's the media's fault, it's the video games fault, it's the schools fault, it's the police's fault, etc. They blame Wal-mart and society when their little gene-pool reject gets busted for shoplifting ... it's incredible.<BR/>... and people wonder why I walk around in a total state of horrific amazment ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883420.post-1117213156007084752005-05-27T11:59:00.000-05:002005-05-27T11:59:00.000-05:00I am right there with you, I actually consider it ...I am right there with you, I actually consider it Natural Selection at work. If you are stupid enough to say, climb a skyscraper with just a grappling hook and a pair of special shoes, then you deserve to go splat. One less moron out there breeding.

Go ahead, get squashed. <BR/>I just hope they meet their demise prior to breeding, I think it sucks when people don't realize how there own stupid decisions affect their children.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582205952911848795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883420.post-1117200444613376422005-05-27T08:27:00.000-05:002005-05-27T08:27:00.000-05:00TESTINGTESTINGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
