Agreed.

"If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?" -- Prince Philip (1996, said amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting)

To the poster -- do you really want to associate yourself with His Royal Highness? :)

Since those under 18 might have access to their parent's silverware drawer, I think not.

Perhaps we should require all parents to keep eating utensils in locked drawers to ensure the safety of children and society at large.

While we're at it, let's require everyone to have their teeth pulled as soon as they come in (to avoid biting), have all limbs amputated (you could punch or kick someone!), and why not just stick an ice pick through everyone's brain so we're all just vegetables? Then we REALLY won't be able to hurt one another...

Yeah! And poke people eyes out, too! That will stop all those hurtful looks we give each other!

Is that a fucking joke?
