This can't be the USA I learned to love.

All a person needs to do, be you an American or whatever is, use some common sense for Pete's sake. All of these Collegiate folk seem to have had any and all common sense drummed out of them and we're left with what we have today... more ons who wear their hearts on their sleeve and are too prone to sue at the drop of a hat and quick to judge every benign act as a criminal offense. If there is no law to prevent it, they'll make one up.

This could be construed as the direct result of the" Everybody's a winner" line of child rearing. After all, we do live in a universe of dualities. Good/bad, winners/ losers, day/ night, up/down, left/right.
Aww fudge it.
I blame it all on that harlot Jodie Foster!

I was gunna blame Canada.

On a serious note, I was going to post some really funny parodies of the progressive-nanny-no fun type of people, but I couldn't find the one I was looking for.

Just for you Wolferz, You might find it funny.

Euphorians are humorously yet regularly hammered on the program, as is the mythical town of Euphoria, which isn’t all that far from the town of Garage Logic, the seat of Gumption County and just down the road from Diversityville.
As Soucheray explains on his KSTP Web page, Garage Logic is a place “where common sense prevails, the two-car garage is revered and cigar smoking is allowed (and lawyers aren’t.)”“GLers want to see kids wearing a helmet while riding a bike,” he says. “Euphorians want to see them wearing a helmet while bird watching.”

As someone with a degree in Comp Sci (from a college, horrors!!), I can say I have lots of common cents. Sadly, I've not got much else since I'll be paying for that degree til I die.
