Of course I'd be emotional, but you know what? She should have read the label. I wouldn't be running around demanding a ban, the warning is there, in plain english, and my mom is smart, she reads the labels, so if she drank 5 in a row, it would be her own damn fault. |
Yes, taking responsibility for one's own actions instead of blaming someone or something else is not en vogue anymore.
Come to think of it, using the term en vogue is not en vogue anymore.
Neither is the RNB group of the same name...
dammit im losing my mind!

No, it's based on the same principle. Someone stupid does something stupid and dies from it, then Ontario bans it. Or the Government hears that something MIGHT be harmful... and they ban it. |

I see that now |

You see what? When people say like that they don't mean those stupid things should ACTUALLY be banned, they're illustrating how stupid the ban is by showing another item, just as potentialy dangerous in the hands of an idiot, and how NOT ONE PERSON ever tries to ban it. In other words, it's showing how ridiculous that ban is/would be.
That's another thing... wtf happened to survival of the fittest, these morons have kids, and teach them how to become complete morons as well. No wonder society is degenerating. Filled with idiots who don't know how to read a label before they try and kill themselves. |

exactly... sometimes people are blind to the obvious.
Everything is dangerous to some extent. Its just that society is getting weaker and weaker to the point where many people cant handle what was once a normal thing. I wont be surprised if one day caffeine is suddenly some nasty evil ill in our society that needs to be banned. The media circus will start, the politicians will pander and the public will be whipped into a frenzy because some 80 year old died of heart failure after drinking a large double double at timmys.
Thats how crap like this always starts. |

Or some 19 year old Took an E, drank 5 RBVs and then died after 3 hours of dancing at "The Guvernment presents: TIESTO" |

Or some kid takes a bunch of pills at a rave in 1999 and dies therefore we should ban all raves because raves are bad, dangerous and violent. |

Nobody is saying ban all things harmful. That's a way too simplistic way of looking at it. Give me a little more credit than that. There's judgement used in what should be banned and what shouldn't; a line drawn between an area where the public should be responsible if they abuse something (ie prescription drugs), and an area where the government should step in and prevent people from unknowingly hurting themselves (ie some OTC drugs).
If you don't want to acknowledge this and keep repeating your "well then we should ban this" arguments then see ya. |

I'm anticipating that, one day, a similar death will occur but THIS time in a club like the Guv...and then the government would ban the Guvernment:crazy: |

nobody would die from the caffeine of 5 redbulls.
each has 70mg, which means you get 350mg. MUCH less than the LD50 of 192/kg(they suspect 1-4g of caffeine could be lethal to a human) |

LOL, you still don't understand the "well then we should ban this" arguments. They aren't arguments saying "They should be banned" they are "What if" questions. Banning Red Bull because someone didn't pay attention to the warning would be no different than banning electricity because some moron didn't know not to put a fork in the damn socket. More people die falling down the stairs every DAY than the ammount of people who have ALLEGEDLY died due to consuming Red Bull since it came out. Should we ban stairs? Clearly they are too dangerous for our Ontarian/Canadian society. (Please note, I'm not saying "well then we should ban stairs" I'm drawing a comparison, it's a metaphor if you want to get specific)
OTC drugs are much different than a can of pop with a high energy content with a warning saying it contains a large ammount of caffeine (it even tells you exactly how much in the ingredients), and a warning that you not drink more than 2 cans a day. If you don't drink more than 2 cans a day, you'll be fine! So just read the damn label (like you would with any OTC drug, or if you had an allergy) and be a responsible person! If it gives you a stomache ache, don't drink it again. No need to run around like a moron screaming "7h1s s}{0ulD b3 t3h b4nz0r!" |
