Mhm, yeah no. "Don't use electric stove to cut vegetables on it" is not a safety precaution, it is a sign of bullshit happening. But I may be thinking of something different from what author meant

I'd say it's more because of bullshit lawsuits. 90,% of the warning labels we have should not be necessary. We used to just accept that if you did stupid shit you might lose a couple fingers or die. Now it runs businesses into the ground and we have created a massive leech of an industry that is insurance. Insurance and lawyers are to blame for all of this.

Meh. They’re reintroducing mare dangerous play now because we went too far with safety.

Some things, yes. Others... nah, thats the nanny state in full effect. Telling people that theres danger, and trying to take away personal freedoms arent the same thing. If someone wants to drink, smoke, eat fatty foods, let them. All you we should be doing is saying "yo, that shits bad for you.". And leave it up to personal choice. This is how it should be for drugs as well.

Seatbelts, why isnt this a personal choice? If you want to fly through the windshield at 70mph, you should be allowed to. Wearing helmets on a bike. If you want to end up with brain damage after a nasty fall, that too should be your choice.

We spend all our time trying to keep dumb people alive. And these are the people who dont rubber up. The more of them who reproduce and you get... well, take a look around...

"Claim to have done?" Lol

Yeah, bring back leaded gasoline! /s

Innocent question, are gen X more right than left? My brothers is Gen X and its hard for me to think of the generation that was obsessed with MTV and watched Beavis ans But head and South Park be constantly attacked would veer right. I remember my brother playing "rape me" by Nirvanna and audibly the teachers freaking the fuck out. But my brother is conservative now so what do I know.

I don't know a single GenX who disagrees with the first statement. (I an on then Millennial edge, though, so could be bias)
