I honestly believe that the main reason for the "dumbing down" of the human race, is all the bleeding heart safetycrats forcing the issue of making machines that are so much safer. Yeah, I don't like to see blood, guts and carnage any more than anybody else.
But if people suffered the consequences of their actions, the "thinning of the herd" via "natural selection" would make for a more intelligent populace.

When children need to be told to play, what other wake up call is needed?osokusmc, Big Don, SidewaysBentHalo and 1 other person Thank this. -
Utah has that option still on the books but even they shun it( it seems the second to last execution by firing squad the condemned last words were and I quote:"Let's do it!"). It makes people think they're going out in a blaze of glory.

Weekly was “inattentive and distracted by outside influences” when his truck struck the rear of a minivan “at a high rate of speed,” according to a Nebraska State Patrol trooper’s arrest affidavit.
Law enforcement officials have not elaborated on the type of distraction.
A Crete Carrier trucker was almost directly behind the big rig when the I-80 crash occurred, Ostergard said, and was among the first on the scene to offer aid.
Federal regulations prohibit commercial truckers from texting, holding a phone or pressing more than one button, Reicks said.
Weekly’s stepson, David Skoal, in a post on The World-Herald’s Facebook page, said he also is a truck driver, as are his mother and biological father.
“Tony is more torn up about this than any of you all will ever know,” he wrote. “The first words he spoke to my mother was for us to pray for the families.
Keith County Judge Edward Steenburg set an Aug. 29 preliminary hearing on whether Weekly should face trial in Keith County District Court. Weekly’s bail was set at $1 million — of which he must post 10 percent to be released.

Slow down early, 4 ways on. If nobody behind you leave a large cushion until there's a few back there.
Back of the line at a backup is the scariest place to be.25(2)+2, 201, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -
1 million bail does seem a little excessive .....
Socal Xpress and bzinger Thank this. -
Except he only has to post $100,000. If he is a homeowner it should be doable, unless he's already mortgaged up to his ying-yang. This 10% bail posting is stupid! If the suspect only has to post 10%, then just lower the bail and scratch the 10%.
This high bail has only come about by lawmakers trying to look tough on crime, when it suits their campaigns. But the 10% came about by the same bunch of politicos trying to appease the offenders and their cohorts. -
hey bigdon,the dumbing down has nothing to do with safety it is a more global government reason.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Well, I'm a firm believer in "natural selection." If all the idiots would die, then they wouldn't be around to procreate. Perhaps in a few generations, the gene pool would cleanse itself.bzinger Thanks this.
