Answer the question with a question

[dyslexic teddybear]

isn't that interrupted by too many warning labels?

[polywideblock]

don't they only work on those that can read ,or in company of those that can read ? 

[dyslexic teddybear]

As there is more stupid people.....would that not prove the labels work?

[polywideblock]

should we remove the icky taste and smell that they have added to things in the last few decades ?

                         


                                                             petrol is just one     it "smelled good" when I was a kid at the fuel station ,  now it stinks

[dyslexic teddybear]

As long as it self-inflicted.....remove the warnings and let people removing themselves from the gene-pool could be a good thing, right?







                                                                   Likely I am suffering the results now....but yeah.....I used to think gas smelled pretty good too.

[polywideblock]

     couldn't hurt could it ?


          this was at the same  time when  Walter Matthau    was sniffing lighter fluid to wake himself up in whatever that 50- 60's spy comedy movie  was called

[dyslexic teddybear]

Didn't we all think that.....at the time?






                                                    Not that I ever intentionally "sniffed" etc......but I did expose myself to a lot of stuff that had to hurt me over time. Fuel up a chain saw 20 times a day.....one smells a lot of gas. Diesel and gas mix for cleaning fluid......paint fumes.....long list. Young, dumb, and full of......that was me.

[polywideblock]

did anyone tell us differently ?   



                                                                  no-one had any idea back then      
                               
we used to walk around the bush with "slug guns" and a mouthful of slugs     because the slugs kept your mouth watering and you didn't need a drink    now they tell us "lead" is the worst thing a kid can come into contact with , could have been a brain surgeon if not for this 

[dyslexic teddybear]

would we have listened?






                                        Ahhh....lead. Water pipes used to be made from it. The farm I grew up on had a spring....until I was around 20 water got to the house in lead pipe. I have read that lead pipe formed a layer of oxide that kept it from leaching into the water.......that would explain how we all survived.....

[polywideblock]

at least until we got to the door      right ?

[dyslexic teddybear]

didn't we agree to nearly anything to get out the door?

[polywideblock]

hate sounding like my old man but "weren't those the days "?




                                                                      no sicko's to worry about , had to be home by dark  . what a tough life it was

Who ever reminisces about bad things?

[polywideblock]

were the bad things as bad as you thought they were ?

[JB400]

Aren't you overestimating how bad things are?

[polywideblock]

are there varying degrees of badness ?

[DeltaV]

Don't we live in a digital age where it's either good OR bad?

[polywideblock]

aren't most things good in moderation ?   

[DeltaV]

Has that been your experience?

[polywideblock]

what about the things in excess ? 

[DeltaV]

Is that a matter of perspective or perception for you?

[polywideblock]

wonce you've had some things in excess , isn't your perspective and perception skewed ?   

[DeltaV]

You have experienced altered states of awareness?

[polywideblock]

do you expect me  to answer that truthfully ?     

                                                       

[Fred]

Is that or is that not the question??
