Rant Time.

Yep folks. Its Rant Time again.

The object of my rant today is:

Kids and the Overlaw of Health and Safety


Ok, lemme put something straight first. I hate kids. Simple. If they where my kids i would love 'em to bits. But other kids. Get the fuck away.

The reasons are as follows:

1. You cant have proper fun if there is a kid less than the age of 15 or so. this is because they usually scrag to your parents about somethings

2. You have to be careful about what you say near them ( a statement which is ok.. but i still hate having to change wording mind-sentence )

3. The Almighty Law of Health and Safety for Kids which removes the fun of proper fun if there are kids with you.


Also i hate all this Red Taped Health and Safety for kids. I'm sorry.. why do they need to wear googles to have fun with conkers? Why must we carve up beautiful trees just because of the fear that a kid might fall out of one?

If we are to have kids we may as well let them throw themselves about abit, jump out of trees, smash conkers together without having to wear fancy goggles or harnesses. Hell many of us did just that and are we constantly in pain? No.

This basically supresses the kids wants and desires (tho i still hate kids i dont like to see them wrapped in bubble wrap whenever they go out)to have somelaughs and fun. The reason many of these places say oh Billy has to wear googles when he throws his frisbess is so that can save there own asses from getting sued.

"Oh but Billy does have access to safety googles, so it wasnt our fault that his eye got carved out by his frisbee"

Also this culture of suing each other for vast amounts of shitty little things. Come on. Grow fucking up. Just because Billy lost an eye doesnt mean he cant lead a happy and wonderful life. If we got hurt the school/workplace/area of entertainment would patch us up a bit, send us home/home/hospital to get better patched up and would say sorry. End of arguement. Shit happens

But no. Nowadays you can sue people for poking you with a pencil because it caused emotional distress because "they poked me". *smack* Grow Up. Life is like that.

"Oh but I tripped over a paving slab that was 3.5 degrees higher than what it should of been. I demand compensation"

Bullshit. You fell over you stupid git. You didn't look where you where going so you are trying to shift the embarrsement off onto someone else.

However if it is truly a thing that is annoying e.g. sexual harresment in the workplace, or you leg gets broken in an industrial accident (through some fault of the owners) then fine. Sue away.

If it was because your hand was crushed in a machine that said "Dont stick hands or limbs into the machine because of fast moving parts" Sorry. you deserve it. Stupidity doesnt get you jack.



End of Rant.
