What Are We Turning Into?

[walshie 2,804]

This school has now banned whistles as they are "aggressive" and will scare the children. Won't be long before whistles in general are banned in case they upset us all. A university has banned the throwing of mortarboards into the air at graduation as people have been hurt by falling hats.

 

Soon kids won't be allowed to play games, have fun, eat sweets or just be kids. They'll all be cotton-wool wrapped. What sort of preparation for life is that?

 

I know the country is getting more and more risk-averse, but FFS where will it end?

Whistles can be very scary when not expected ,the shrill ,piercing noise is designed to scare ,mortar boards have sharp corners and could give you a very nasty red mark on sensitive skin ...for gods sake man not everyone can be all bear grylles like you

This is the generation that thinks it knows it all, and all that came and was before them is irrelevant, they are the special ones. I am just sorry that my days will be no more when their smug illusion's hit the fan, and realisation that the baby was thrown out with the bathwater hits their smug fan debris covered faces.

Did you complete a risk assessment, before you started this thread ? You may have scared people who didn't even realise that whistles are frightening, or that mortar boards could be mortar-ly dangerous ! (See what I did there ?)

 

 

I wonder how many of these 'safety' measures are to stop situations happening, that have never actually happened in the first place.........real policies to prevent fictional events !

[walshie 2,804]

Elf and safety thinking up stuff to make their jobs seem worthwhile.

 

Everything once you get out of bed is more dangerous than not getting out of bed. I wonder when they will work that out. Video home schooling from bed? Would have suited me fine, that.

 

In future generations everyone will be polite, sanitised, never do anything risky, shells of human beings that live to be 150. But I expect it will feel longer.

It will either end when we've been replaced with low IQ,uncivilized savages who don't care what the states narrative is or what any health inspector says,or when natives have it bad enough to unite along ethnic lines and work in our own interest en-masse (or close to) like almost every other group.

No wonder the Craggy Island whistle thief caused so much upset.

The driving force behind all this bull, is the insurance companies, they want to take the risk out of every policy. The people who are to blame are the claim culture and the lawyers behind it, take the whiplash scam how many of us pay increased premiums just because people make spurious claims for whiplash? It then becomes self perpetuating, people want to get the extortionate premiums back so they claim for every little thing.

Heath and safety is mental I think if I followed it to the book would easily turn a 30 minute job into a full day's work Job! The new one with us now is hand vibration I can only use the drill for 22 minutes a day but use a hammer and chisel aslong as I want

Hopefully it will lead to and end to all war, after Method Statements and Risk Assessments the H&S will deem them too dangerous!

 

Does ISIS have a H&S dept?
