[BBC News] Bird nest warning to dog owners

[P.K.]

Almost never do I encounter adults who are afraid of dogs.

That's because they are deliberately avoiding you and your stupid animals because they are afraid of them!

 

Jeeeeze ... thick or what?

 

It's becoming a f****d-up world and we're all guilty through apathy of letting it become even more so, and it's way past time Joe Public, who is the majority, started standing up and saying - 'NO - enough!'.

So we should start banning homosexuals from Scottish B&B's then? Get's my vote....

 

This has probably been posted before, but it fits in with what Albert is saying:

 

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the sixties probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was regularly chewed and licked.

 

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles or latches on doors or cabinets, and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets or knee-pads or anything.

 

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags and riding in the front passenger seat - or the boot - was a treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle, and it tasted the same.

 

We ate chips, bread and butter pudding, and drank fizzy juice with sugar in it, but were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one drink with four friends - from one bottle or can - and no one actually died from this.

 

We would spend several hours building go-carts out of scraps, then go top speed down the hill, only to find out we'd forgotten the brakes. After running into a patch of stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

 

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back before dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.

 

We didn't have Playstations or Xboxes - no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape films, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no internet chatrooms.

 

We had friends - we went outside and found them. We played football and cricket with a real cricket ball and sometimes that ball really hurt! We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones, but there were no law suits.

 

We played Knock Down Ginger and were actually afraid of the owners catching us. We walked to friends' homes. We also, believe it or not, walked to school; we didn't rely on Mummy or Daddy to drive us to school, as it was just round the corner.

 

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode bikes in packs of seven and wore our coats by only the hood. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of they actually sided with the law.

 

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem-solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

 

And you're one of them. Congratulations! Pass this on to others who had the luck to grow as real kids, before lawyers and the government regulated our lives for "our own good".

 

And so true...

thats the way it was pk and we are still here .goverments know this now so they allow aspertame/fluride into our soft drinks. mercury in our vaccines .soon laws will be passed so we have to use low enegy light bulbs made in china and full off toxic ingrediants. simply because some Politition has shares in the company.

simple solution find out where the offending dog owner lives. then at about 2am unwrap a large bar of laxitive choclate and post it. no stamp required

I'm sure you must have at least one other id on manxforums under which you post nice, sensible things to make up for the obnoxious, narrow minded bigot you display yourself to be on this id.
