I Am Sick of Stupid People Doing Stupid Things

I hate how we cater to stupid people.
If you're dumb enough to stop on the train tracks (unless you're suicidal and in which case is a different topic) you deserve to get hit by that train.
If you are dumb enough to stick your hand or other body parts in a rotating object you deserve to get hurt.
If you are dumb enough to wear metal when working with electrical stuff you deserve to get electrocuted.
If you are dumb enough to eat bad food you deserve to get sick.
If you are dumb enough not to wear a seatbelt while driving you deserve to fly through the windshield.

Bottom line. If you do stupid shit you devserve the consequence. You shouldn't need to be warned.

It's especially gotten out of hand lately, considering they've started putting content warnings on books because they might trigger people.

Granted, I did the same thing with my last book, but that's because it covers some truly traumatizing topics, not because I'm afraid of an overly-sensative crybaby telling me I hurt their feelings.

It helps to be more specific, less chance of getting harassed or sued by a psycho or crazy parents.

Don't forget the warning that hot coffee may burn you. Or that a jar of peanuts may contain peanuts.

@ineedadrink: That's actually what I was thinking of the hot coffee case.

@updown2020: I was just talking to my friend about the coffee! It's like people make coffee/tea at home all the time. There's no fucken warning label on that? Why the hell do people need to be warned at stores. Or on microwaved meals? It's like no shit the thing you just heated is going to be hot. -.- bunch of idiots!

@londonbr1dge: Well you see making coffee at home will not get people millions suing a world wide international multi billion dollar corporation will get you millions.It's call risk management and get there name off the news and out of the papers.
updown2020 · 61-69, M
Well actually you do because you can get yourself a good lawyer and make millions.

@updown2020: that's why this system is fucked up! People go oh well I didn't know that the coffee was hot no one told me. Well bitch you make your own damn coffee at home no one tells ou then. But people sue for money of stupid shit. That Red Bull incident? BULLSHIT.
Suing was made so if someone's stole or damaged your property or damaged your car when driving you could get money for that. But now people are so driven for money they'll sue for the most shittiest reasons out there. And it's very messed up.

@londonbr1dge: Well you know people can sue anyone but it's the juries that award these stupid damages.

@updown2020: whatever the case is it's fucked.
