Ban everything "dangerous"! Yeah, that'll work!

This is truly a horrible story but the father's call to keep these batteries out of our homes is another knee jerk reaction that is overboard.

There will always be things in your house that could potentially harm or kill you. You can't ban everything that "might" be a danger on the off chance that something might happen.

We need to teach our children about the dangers around them so they grow up being able to make informed decisions. If you simply remove everything from their presence during their childhood, they will never learn how to think for themselves, be aware of their actions and become adults that keep safety in mind.

Eventually, they will come into contact with dangers and if you haven't already taught them how to respond to them, bad things can happen.

I can certainly understand his feelings, but people need to think logically before they just start calling for bans on things.

I don't care if you're offended

People are offended that folks are using the Confederate flag to promote ideas that were not part of the original "plan"...so the answer is to remove it from existence and pretend that part of history never existed.

People are angry that they can't always get their way so they stomp on the American flag...and we arrest those who oppose this action. Saying it's their right to express themselves in that manner.

Tell me how this isn't hypocritical.

Pretty sure there are laws protecting the American flag and giving specific details of how it is to be treated but you want to take away the right to display a flag that represents a time in history because someone is offended by it?

Will we change/ban the American flag next because some folks don't like?

I don't care if you're offended by something. If it's not physically harming you then why does it matter? We waste so much time on trivial bull because we don't want to offend people.

Welcome to life!

You're going to be offended, hated, discriminated against...shit happens. Grow up & move on!
