prediction : IS IT A WASTE OF TIME TO IDIOT PROOF THE WORLD?

[+] ballot by RobinGaylord
created Tue Jan 30, 07
So some fool drinks a gallon of bleach and is narrowly saved because smart people have advanced medical science far enough to invent the stomach pump. At some point in history our lawmakers decided that this was injustice and set out to reward this type of behavior with lawsuit settlements. Now I can't even get through a day with out seeing labels on Draino that say do not ingest or rub in your eyes. It's just a constant reminder that our society rewards stupidity.

Is it a waste of time to idiot proof the world?

Yes
No
I'll drink 20oz of Dawn liquid soap for $5.

Oh, yeah. Besides, it's not good for the gene pool. That stuff's *gotta* work its way out of the system...

Lawsuit protection plus government regulation requirements drives the need for a lot of those "idiot" warnings...as a rule, things/warnings are designed to accommodate the dumbest of us not the smartest...if you were a sharp kid in school, you would have to sit there waiting for the slower kids to "catch on" to what was being taught...

The gene pool could use a little chlorine...

"Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot." I dont know who originally said that, but I agree with them.

Sometimes a person may do such a thing because they are attempting suicide. I do not see how that makes them an "idiot". Just a troubled person who needs help.

If you put seemingly useful products on the market, and some idiot discovers it gets you high, it only stands to reason that you need to inform him that he's being an idiot. Other wise he'll show more idiots and the idiot population will de-evolve the world back tp troglodites.

To a certain point.

Idiots are remarkably ingenious when it comes to injuring themselves with seemingly harmless household items.

Use reasonable safeguards on products, but beyond that people should be on their own.

Let the morons of the world die of their own stupidity, it's evolution's way of getting rid of the un-fit from the gene pool.

What contempt we exhibit, towards those who fail to meet our standards. Even to the point of wishing them harm or death.

I hope that any beings 'higher than us' have more compassion.
