Those warnings wouldn't be there if it weren't for lawyers. All such warnings, and the lawyers who provoke them, are an abomination because they subvert natural selection.

Sure, but judges who don't have the sense to dismiss such cases with prejudice are almost all former lawyers.

Suppose you are under lockdown - you probably are - but you fancy having a party anyway. You'd keep the music down, close all the curtains, or live in a house miles from the neighbours, yes? Not in Englands third most populous city you don't: Coronavirus: Greater Manchester Police warning after 660 parties shut down - BBC News[^] 660 parties in a weekend, some with fireworks (so the police can spot you from further away), DJ (so the choons are nice'n'loud), or bouncy castles ... or to be really obvious, have it outdoors as a street party (166 of them!). Don't warn 'em - arrest 'em, and put them up before a court on Monday morning ... A weekend in teh cells counts as Social Distancing, doesn't it? :laugh:

Yes, something about a special zone for criminal gangs in New York, and they somehow kidnap the President. I think Mel Gibson plays the hero.
Kurt Russell is Snake Plissken, no he isn't dead. The president's plane went down and he was captured. Stinkin' whippersnappers.

Are you guys allowed to got to the grocery store during lockdown?
Yep, same as Griff. Every lockdown I've seen allow going to at least the supermarkets and pharmacies and booze shops. We also have smaller local food store open like bakeries, butcher shops, fruits and veggies open. Most have the usual rules, queue outside, 2 meters apart, limited to 6 or less clients inside at the same time.
I'd rather be phishing!

good. makes sense. some places here are now implementing the 1 for 1, entry rule. 6 feet(2 meter) distance, same here. basically you are not allowed here to just walk around aimlessly, or be in groups of people, without attracting the coppers.
We are allowed to go for walks/bike rides as long as we keep 2 meters or more between people; major streets are being updated to reduce car space and allow more space for pedestrians. Familly and people living at the same address are allowed to be more than 2 persons.

Pretty much the same here
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Escape from New York? It had a much better actor in the lead role.

Look up Adam Ruins Everything's episode on Stella Liebeck: https://www.langspace.com/en/video/10562571681662260[^]. That was a legit case of negligence. It just got promoted as a frivolous lawsuit. Bond Keep all things a simple as possible, but no simpler. -said someone, somewhere

Oh, well, if a comedy show says that you don't have to be careful when you buy something that's hot... I'm no fan of McD, but how many years were they selling coffee -- and how many cups -- before someone sued because they scalded themselves with it? I don't think I'd accept something that's a one-in-five-hundred-million chance, and that has gone wrong once over a span of decades, as a good reason to rewrite a program. I doubt that car companies would accept that crashes caused by inattention were their fault, either. And let's not even start on kitchen tools, unless you'd prefer to buy knives that can't cut meat.

There's a rumour that Husqvarna had the sarcastic warning text on their chainsaws: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals" I strongly doubt that there is any truth in it, but funny nonetheless.

Well I've never considered myself right wing, but surely to God we have some uninhabited islands around our coastline. Ship 'em all over there and go and collect the survivors in three months. As I've not heard a single comment/quote/announcement from the Home Secretary during this period, perhaps I should offer my services in the role ...

You really can't protect people from their own stupidity... One of the reasons for all the hype in the US media regarding COVID-19 is specifically for that targeting of young people who are not listening and are causing the virus to spread unnecessarily further as with the situation in Florida. Luckily up here in New York, everyone is doing their job to stop this outbreak, even many of the young people I see are following the health guidelines. But we still have a lot of very stupid people in the States who still believe Fox News is accurate reporting...

For every warning label there's at least one good story! We don't need lawyers if we just rely on Darwin's law. :cool:
Unfortunately, the lawyers write the laws and to keep themselves in business, they've written Darwin out of the laws. Dollars (or what ever currency) over destiny. Where usually, the lawyers get the lion's share of the award.
