Default Nanny State run amock

Kids motorcycles banned in America.

http://motorcycles.about.com/b/2009/...tvs-banned.htm

The batteries contain lead, so...

So effing what? It's not like kids will stop riding motorcycles, they'll just ride larger ones, which will increase the danger to kids because they're riding a motorcycle that's TOO F***ING BIG FOR THEM!!! I swear we have a bunch of retards running the show. Actually, I take that back, mentally retarded folks have more common sense than our "consumer safety" nannies.

So do pencils. I suppose it's time to eliminate education too.

Pencils use graphite. But maybe back in your day they were lead.

True. My generation lived more on the edge. We also had asbestos in the classrooms.
