Well, once society abdicates its moral responsibility to stop people from harming themselves...

Hence, the smoking bans.

I don't believe it.

When my Mother-in-Law ended up in Nursing Home suffering, among other things, from emphysmia, I was shocked when I saw her dragging on a cigarette when I visited. The explanation was, this is their home and we can't stop them from smoking.

I'm thinking we should give them one time use guns and a place to use them.

Bad headline, all I could see were images of a bunch of boys shaving their hands.

[SAMS]

As an RN, words fail me.

Freepmail coming your way.

[furquhart]

It's all "harm reduction" folks.

Heh. We get a lot of this nonsense. Next thing we'll be giving suicidal people sharper blades.

[Captainpaintball]

Why not give these sickos the guns (and bullets) the British police have taken away from law abiding citizens?
