How come everytime someone does something stupid, people start screaming for more laws? This guy set off fireworks on his head and died. That sucks and I feel for his family, but why should the rest of us, who wouldnt take explosives and set them off on our bodies, have to endure more useless laws that will most likely not prevent this in the future. How about more parenting instead?
Stricter laws won’t keep stupid people from doing stupid things, especially when alcohol is involved. It’s like blaming the auto manufacturer for a drunk driving fatality. Maybe we need stricter laws on alcohol, like signing a waiver stating “I promise I won’t do anything stupid after I drink this 12 pack”.
I don’t think parenting has any effect on alcohol induced idiocy.
People always want to put blame on everything except where it belongs.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

How much do you want to bet that mommy was a helicopter mom that ran interference for her son from the day he was born, and never let him experience consequences for poor decisions?
Just so you know, parents that do that (helicopter parents) are NOT doing it for their kid’s sake. They are doing it to impress the other parents.

I have done some pretty stupid stuff in my life but that takes the top off stupid.[:0]
Takes the head off too.

"I have done some pretty stupid stuff in my life but that takes the top off stupid.:
I was beginning to think I was the only one on here who was alive today only through the grace of God. I’ve flipped a car, tried to whip 6 Pickens County cops, chased cows at treetop level with a Cessna 140, and tons of other dumb stuff, but I never set off explosives on my body. I guess I could have written many laws! Luckily, I’ve tamed down considerably in my “old days”!
I did my fair share of stupid. Flipped a car 1 month after my 16th birthday, train surfed with my cousin in NJ, Jumped off a few bridges into creeks and rivers, been tossed out of a few bars
Never ever considered setting off any type explosive on my body either.
We just need to remove safety warning from devices for 5-6 months. Let the herd cull itself for a little while and maybe we can get back to some semblance of an intelligent society.
