My point was not to make a jab at Joe but to say accidents happen. I did not mention a car seat. What kind of person would get out to wash their car and leave a child in it with the windows up. I blame the parents of that child because he was too young to be running loose by hisself.Even they were not washing the car, but vaccuming it.
As for Joe, if he does not want to be critized for comments he makes then he should think about some of them. [Like on the 17 chidren] Where he has more children each time he loses one. I DO NOT find that funny. It sounds very heartless. He has made comments about locking his in her room. Again, not funny, heartless. So I say again he needs to think some before he throws out some of his comments. |

O.k. lighten up everyone I thought Joe's comment was pretty funny and to the point as well.
It was mentioned in that other thread. about the larger families everyone used to have. You had to have as many kids as you could.. for you didn't know which ones would be taken by yellow fever or small pox or the like. and then who would work the farm ? |

yes, that is FUNNY. in fact, I laughed out loud when I read it. Having read other comments from Joe, I quickly took this as sarcasm, as a comment on the thread/topic itself . Joe's always good for a laugh |

Joe was implying on another thread that preventive measures are not necessary because accidents are so rare. This is a common misconception that Piemaker was trying to dispel. She wasn't at all taking a jab at Joe.

Actually, my point was that we all add risk to the lives of ourselves and our children for the sake of pleasure/convenience.

Of course, I can agree to that. Simply driving a car adds risk in exchange for convenience. However, does this mean we should do so foolishly? Does it mean we should not license people to drive and have laws that make us drive safely?
By enacting these conveniences safely and wisely, we get the convenience without as much risk.

Correct. The difference is see a five block drive through Spring Lake as a risk not worth considering and you people seem to think it's the automotive equivalent of Russian Roulette.
We all draw a line somewhere. |

Why don't we make our kids wear crash helmets? Wouldn't that make them safer? How about 4-point harnesses like professional drivers have used for decades? Heh, I guess "convenience" and "safety" are relative terms in our society. Seems like I would be the one pushing for these measures given my personal experiences. But I know there is no reward without some risk involved. I also know that insurance companies play their games too. Why don't car's have heavy roll bars for instance? The irony is that if I install a safety device such as a roll bar to my car to make me (or my family) safer, the insurance company would freak out and actually raise my rates. In other words, its not all about pure safety, it is often about money or convenience or something else. |
