    No it's the government trying to tell you what risks you're allowed to take with your own safety. This is of course NOT THEIR F**KING BUSINESS. People do dangerous things for two reasons: because they've calculated the risks and decided the kick is worth it, or because they're too stupid to think anything through. In the first case when it all goes wrong it's sad but at least they died doing what they enjoyed and in the second they've died doing society in general a service (Darwin Award).

    > It's the government telling you to stop being stupid. Those are sentiments I whole-heartedly agree with.

    Stop being stupid and JUST USE MS products, damnit!

    No, even if it's a good idea, it's still not the government's place to tell me what to do with myself. I like the feeling of wind in my hair instead of just sweat.
