i'm certainly not looking to create the new super race or anything and not shooting the disabled, its just that health and safety has got to such a pitch that we are trying to keep people safe that perhaps shouldn't be..

let's face it we all have examples of health and safety or rules that are just ridiculous.. :D

Thats great but where do you draw the line?

When the person dead is your loved one and there is a way it could have been prevented you tend to want to know why it was not prevented.

where do you draw the line? well I'd say somewhere before requiring chainsaw manufactures to put on warnings "do not attempt to stop chain with any body part; including hands, face and genitalia"

constantly waste time, money and effort on keeping things safe so idiots don't get hurt, should we leave them to it and if they are daft enough to get themselves killed, they are probably better out of the gene pool.
