What… The… Fuck?

Before I get into it, I want you to read something. Its the basis for most, if not all of this post.

Read it? Good.

“Any food that has a cylindrical or round shape poses a risk,” [Smith] pointed out.

So we’re changing sausages now too? What about suckers?

“There’s a general recognition that more needed to be done to protect children from choking,” according to Smith. “We have a number of laws and regulations that help prevent choking due to toys. There are no such similar regulations for food.”

We don’t make the toy manufacturer’s change the shape of their toys; they just have to have a warning on the label that says some retarded kid can stick a piece in their mouth and potentially die. Thats what’s called SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

“I think it’s very reasonable to strengthen regulations to prevent choking injuries for children,” said Dr. Lee Sanders, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “The most common cause of death for kids aged roughly 1 to 5 is choking but it’s also one of the most common reasons for visits to the emergency room and, for kids who don’t die of these injuries, sometimes there are long-lasting injuries or implications,” Sanders said. “It’s a significant public health issue.”

Instead of changing food and pussying up our kids, why not just WATCH WHAT THEY DO? Be a fucking PARENT!

What really scares me is this:

What happens when we age, be it if you’re 16 or 60, and some new Hitler or someone appears in the world and our kids have to go fight him? These are the same kids that can’t be spanked, can’t play dodge ball, can’t eat a HOT DOG, and we’re sending them to war. Chances are Neo Hitler’s country of power will not have such stupid limitations on what their kids can do. They’re used to thinking on their feet. They have their head on a swivel. They are better prepared to fight and kill and survive.

“Oh, but we have better weapons!” Bullshit. The only thing that separates us from anyone else are the guys with their boots on the ground putting lumps of metal into someone else. Predator drones are few and far between, and they only relay surveillance. You still have to figure out how to use that information to survive. Tanks, same thing.

Our training is good, I’ll give you that, but how hard is it for most kids learning another language? They have to take 4 years for it, yes? How many kids on facebook cant even get though a sentence without truncating ‘you’ to ‘u’? Do you think they have the mental capability to fire a gun or survive? I don’t.

Pediatricians: Do what you want, but know this: You’ve doomed us all.
