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

I wasn't talking to you, and now I will no longer have to hear from you.

That was pretty good. I look forward to reading about the other 44 and a half things.

Wonder what they might be.

Don't you think you're overreacting? Would have been much more impressive if you had actually countered his accusation with your own arguments instead of publicly hitting the ignore button....

Good guess would be ''advanced playing with fire'' aka setting up a grill capable amber bed, sewing and low voltage electric circuits.

And more on topic: there is a reason I don't allow children near my dog.
He is not aggresive but a wrong move by the dog and the child is knocked to the ground.... lawsuit. Dog gets to excited, jumps on the child.... lawsuit.

Aye, and that is the problem, lawsuits. If you took away the ability to hide behind lawyers then people might actually have to fix their issues properly.
Or, in some places they'd probably just shoot the problem.
Of course, again, Catch-22 because in some instances lawsuits ARE required, so how do you determine which is which? Some instances are pretty clear cut, others are somewhat less so.
There are no good answers, and that's why things are the way they are.

I'd put in a ''idiotic lawsuit'' clause, where judge can decide if the case is worth a lawsuit.
They are judges afterall.

That works until the judges are given money to declare a specific case to be not worth a lawsuit.

Aye, but laws are always going to be abused so we need to find the lesser of two evils.

So, what I want to know is: How did we get from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs?

Edmund: Do you mean "Why did the war start?"

Baldrick: Yeah.

George: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building.

Edmund: George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front.

George: Oh, no, sir, absolutely not. [aside, to Baldick] Mad as a bicycle!

Baldrick: I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.

Edmund: I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.

Baldrick: Nah, there was definitely an ostrich involved, sir.

Edmund: Well, possibly. But the real reason for the whole thing was that it was too much effort not to have a war.

George: By Golly, this is interesting; I always loved history...

Edmund: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent war in Europe, two superblocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side, and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way there could never be a war.

Baldrick: But this is a sort of a war, isn't it, sir?

Edmund: Yes, that's right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan.

George: What was that, sir?

Edmund: It was bollocks.

Baldrick: So the poor old ostrich died for nothing.

Chapeau! To You, Sir.

Your comment, Sir, is the best I ever read here. Worth a place in the hall of fame 2015 or even of all - time.
A bit of Brag/BALZ and a bit of British understatement and a grain of salt. Just the sense of humour I like best.

What more could I expect today?

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.”

That's what I have heard.

No. But so what if they were (LGBT)?
