Are we that stupid on purpose?
04/06/18 at 13:32:49
 
When I look at the WARNING labels on any given product you purchase nowadays.....
They MUST think we don’t have enough intellect to know how to pour piss out of a boot.....

Gee, no kidding, a new razor blade MIGHT cut me, wow, I’m  so glad to know that....
If a pull tab breaks all the way off, don’t consume it.....
WHOA, another keeper!
Ya gotta love the ones about electricity and water in a shower, I just might forget if they didn’t keep reminding me.

I gotta think soon, we will see the warning on cigarettes to soon include, warning, while using this product as intended, you risk burn, take caution while igniting.......

Ok, that was might be needed, if you don’t understand the dangers of smoke inhalation into the lungs..... just say’n  Grin

Man I offer to clarify your statement/observation, to those who need warning labels?

I will take that as a yes  Grin

He is saying its because of STINKING LAWYERS  Smiley

Here, I updated and amended my original post:

I wonder, is it someones great plan to make us stupider?
I mean, I don't think I need help, however, I just can't help but think, its gotta be a conspiracy.
You know, like some space aliens came down and visited us.
Returned home to their planet, elsewhere....
Talked about how best to invade us, etc....
They have all the power and knowledge of space travel, that far exceeds anything we currently can even imagine, much less utilize, etc...
They could prolly release some wacko, from one of their cells of containment, armed with a yet to be discovered NRA sanctioned weapon, and solely with one "semi automatic" burst......
Wipe all of us off......WOW!
But instead they came up with the idea to plant a seed of "stupid" within our ranks.
They use Hollywood, entertainment, sports, politicians, academia, and the NEWS outlets, to spread its infection....
You think I jest, look, I give you symptoms by just a few examples....
When I look at the WARNING labels on any given product, you purchase nowadays.....
They MUST think we don’t have enough intellect to know how to pour piss out of a boot.....
Gee, no kidding, a new razor blade MIGHT cut me, wow, I’m so glad to know that....

Well, am I right, or not?

Common sense would tell you that if you're dumb enough to do that, you're not smart enough to read and comprehend a warning either.

I was in fifth or sixth grade when
Some Geniuses decided to force the gas can manufacturers to put
Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed
on gas cans.

Have you Ever had Gasoline in your mouth?
Did ANYONE need to say
Spit that out?

If you're too stupid to Not drink
Gasoline,

GREAT!

Nobody needs you.

Most, if not all, of those warnings are there because someone already was that stupid...

Why else would someone think that it's the manufacturer's fault that they were too ignorant to take their child out of the stroller before they folded it up ..... Huh

A few years back I was serving on Jury duty for a case where some guy had stormed into a generator repair shop so mad that he tripped on his own feet.    Well he decided to Sue the owner ...  Well , it was plain to 11 of us that "It was his own fault , but one of our members said "But can't we just award him SOMETHING ? "  ...    
I guessed she thought money just falls from the sky !   We all in unison shouted back to her  " NO "   Angry

To get her to go along with us we had to concede to give him $1.oo in punitive damages ...  Grin

True story !
