Are we Moving to a Safety Scissor World?

[Mark Nelson]

I can not even begin to understand this one. Doctors want a ban on long pointy knives in Britain.

"The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.

They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen."


Well there you go then. I suppose I have been wrong all these years.

How am I suppose to cut the watermelon with out a LOOOONNNGGGG pointy thing?????????

Or when I buy a 50 pound side of beef at Costco and want to make it into steaks, do I have to use dental floss to cut it........that might work on my bread dough, but...... :grumpy: I'm sure they'll be getting to that here in the states soon, probably try to sneak it in with a gun removal policy :grumpy:

Will they go house to house??? Even in my old business, we really did have to have reliable, verifiable information....despite the suspicions of many.

they'll probably do what the japanese did to the okinawans, ban all knives but one small non-pointy one which was chained to the village well. didn't stop them from using other means tho, as said before, the mind is the weapon....

we'll all have a nice soft bubble wrapped 'liberal' society - until the barbarians come thru the gates.

Just a little side comment. I did a rant/speech on the right to carry a knife in school for English a couple months back and used both the "safety scissor" comment by Mark and the "bubble wrap" idea that kronckew put forth in it.

Just thought it was cool how both of these comments came up so quickly when talking about knife restrictions.

I tend to agree that people need to be fixed, not knives/guns/anything else that can be used as a weapon.
