First we had to worry about guns, then rocks, now it's tools. Will the world ever be safe? http://www.allmax.com/MILT/ Trust me, it's hilarious!
That is an old joke, but its still funny. Don't you realize that dihydrogen monoxide just means two hydrogens to one oxygen, or h2o, which is just water :lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh, don't spoil it! JCalhoun, are you sure this site is serious? It's so over the top and ridiculous, I'm having a hard time believing it. Maybe I'm just being thick and not getting the clues...
Having now glanced over the site.... keep the kids away from 'em, and you don't have problem. It's called a basement or shed people..... One begins to wonder how previous generation survived with loaded guns lying around for 'them bears 'n' wolves'. :roll:
All structural causes for child mortality have been banished from Western countries, I guess now the mothers of America feel a need to campaign against all accidental causes too. It makes sense in this way, I suppose - though the parent that allows his/her kids to go anywhere near the power tools should simply not have kids. That's a much better safety measure. I find it quite ironic that they're quoting the Bible on their website to indicate God's hatred of tools. Isn't the same Bible being used as an argument by those who wish to ban child vaccination, which is protection against a much more structural and potentially devastating cause of child mortality?
The site is a sarcastic humor way of looking at gun control and the way some anti-gun gun groups go about using children's safety as a reason to ban guns. It is not serious!
I have posted this link on other forums and it's been amazing how many people think it's for real. :-?
I quite liked the Bible bit - it made me laugh. On a more serious note it does highlight how crazies can attempt to justify anything by taking a verse or two completely out of context. But that is a discussion we have had many times before. Roel - who the heck is using the Bible against Child Vaccination? Which bits? I'm actually quite shocked. Or are they Jehovah's Witnesses? They are already against such useful things as blood transfusions.
The Dutch black sock Christians* do not allow their children to get vaccinated. I do not know exactly which parts of the Bible they use to justify this, but the argument is pretty simple - if you get sick as a child, that's God's will, and we're not allowed to do anything about it. JCalhoun: I did actually think it was real at first, but that's mostly because nothing along these lines surprises me much anymore... *The more fundamentalist inhabitants of the Dutch Bible Belt. This map shows the percentage of people voting for the Reformed Political Party - which is hardcore Christian-conservative, campaigning to reinstate the death penalty and to withdraw voting rights for women.
I think that sums up pretty much all you need to know about them. i'll stop now before I start on one of my 'why don't they just read the Bible' rants.
