Ever thought that the reason we have all these stupid rules that "made America soft" is because something awful happened with someone rode in the back of a pickup as a kid and the pickup got into an accident, rode a bike with no helmet and flipped over, climbed trees and jumped out of them and broken a leg, shot bottle rockets at each other and suffered an eye injury? You chuckle about it, but I'm sure there's plenty who aren't laughing with you.

For the love of God, this thread needs to be locked already.

Oh, and I'm not picking on your example of lawn darts. Who the hell still plays lawn darts?

So bottle rockets should be outlawed because they can take an eye out ??
Climbing trees should be outlawed because someone could break a leg ??
How about rock climbing? Should it be legal yea or nea?

The world is a dangerous place, you wanna outlaw everything in which someone has or could get hurt?

Driving without seat belts is dumb and dangerous, but I shouldn't have to pay Uncle Sam if I choose to do something dumb or dangerous ... let Darwin sort 'em out!
