STupid Instructions (II)

STupid Instructions (II)

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

The downfall of modern society will be due to the fact that stupid people proliferate whereas a few generations ago they would have disappeared into the wilderness and starved or got eaten by bears.

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

We're seeing soon enough the results of no chlorine in the gene pool!  Don't worry Brits, America is in the running as a serious contender in this field.

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

I blame the legal system and the ease to file frivolous lawsuits.

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

Speaking of the degradation of the gene pool, find a copy of the movie "Idiocracy."  It is at once funny and frightening...

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

Its the lawyers.  There are some genuine cases of negligence, for example drunken drivers, but many times these frivolous lawsuits just increase costs.  I've heard that 1/3 of the cost of a common stepladder is the many warning labels and the legal talent to word them just so.

RE: STupid Instructions (II)

It's not just the lawyers.  It's the clients happy to take any opportunity to make a buck off a situation.

Someone in my place of work alledgedly had a nosebleed on the way to work, and as a result applied for compensation for the cost of a replacement t-shirt.
