Sockpuppet 0 #1 June 13, 2006 Boys Injured after putting petrol on BBQ QuoteMatthew's mother, Leesa Betteridge, urged people to be cautious with barbeques. She said: "Unless people realise just the dangers that are involved, there are going to be other families this summer who will end up in hospital with children - and that's a bad place to be." I mean this person should not allowed to be a parent period. I mean what an asshat. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 June 13, 2006 Huh, thousands of rednecks have put gas, avgas, jet-a, white gas and other flamable substances on fires for years without too many injuries that couldn't be fixed with a cold beer. I guess things really are that different in the UK. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 851 #8 June 13, 2006 does this mean we should stop putting jet fuel on the bonfire at the DZ??? I hate it when stupidity causes the rest of us responsible and fairly intelligent folks to lose out something...which seems to be more common all the time. Drivers ed, boating classes, hell even the idiots at fast food joints get trained....but parents???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #10 June 13, 2006 Stupid people should not be shot or killed. If they are stupid enough, they will find a way to do it themselves. If they are not stupid enough to do it themselves, then they should be allowed to live. And while this is Speaker's Corner opining, maybe the government should stop making it so difficult to disinfect the gene pool. My wife is hotter than your wife.

Richards 0 #11 June 13, 2006 Shooting them seems a bit extreme. Nuetering them to prevent procreation sounds a bit more reasonable.

Royd 0 #14 June 13, 2006 The thing to do is soak the charcoal, pour the fuel down the leg of the grill, then pour a line about 30 ft. across the yard. Then, light a wadded paper towel and toss it on the line. Hopefully, you don't destroy the grill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #16 June 13, 2006 Yes, but if they are stupid enough to kill themselves, their families (and the lawyers ) will figure out a way to sue the manufactuers of whatever product it was they misused to kill themselves. Thus raising prices on said products for people intelligent enough to use them, and preventing other stupid people from using said product to kill themselves. Then they just have to find some other way. Hmm... perhaps stupid people are more clever than we thought!"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

lawrocket 3 #21 June 13, 2006 QuoteThen they just have to find some other way. You are positing a variation on Booth's Law #2, which states, "The safer skydiving gear becomes, the more chances skydivers will take, in order to keep the fatality rate constant." Maybe it should be Krisanne's Law #1: "The less access to dangerous products that stupid people have, the more dangerous safe products will become due to stupid uses of these products, thus keeping the fatality rate constant."
