Surprise finding : Fireplaces are HOT

[Gold Maven]

Heard this on the radio, they said it was another law for our own good, here it sounds voluntary.

Stoves will be next....matches will be outlawed....

Today's "Cyber-Children" are born without common sense,
and apparently their parents were as well.

How do children get "common sense"?

They touch the glass in front of the fire, and find out it's HOT!

Now, due to their painful fingertip, they have gained "knowledge",
and after their fingertip heals up they remember not to touch
the hot glass.

This knowledge [not to do it again] is known as "wisdom".

Keep learning these lessons through life, and you become
a wise old man.....

Any time we ever burned ourselves, and cried out, "Oh, that's hot!"

The reply was always, "Well, it didn't take you long, to figure that out, did it?"

I respectfully disagree..we are BORN with common sense,unfortunately "learned" out of it. PUBLIC SCHOOLS are the WORST place to send your kids!!!


Anyone not believe this?

Common sense is unfortunaley not a requirement for the human race. Until this is fixed we will have to continue to idiot proof the world.

I have a gas fireplace, and I have an electric stove. Both will burn me if I put my hand on them.
I don't put my hand on them. Duhhhh

"Common sense?" When my children were very little, I actually was shocked how little "common sense" they had. I thought, as preschoolers, they would have some natural instincts. As a new parent, I guess I had some common sense and realized I had to teach them EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! When they were a few years old, I taught them that stoves were hot, ice was slippery, rain was wet, etc. etc. etc. I may have gone over the top when there was a run over raccoon in the road, and I marched them down to it and showed them this squishy thing and told them matter of factly 'this is what you would look like if you play in the road and a car gets you."

Happily, they survived. Both are happily married. One is a published author (It's still an unreal thing to see her books on Amazon) and the other one is a computer scientist, she runs a whole company's computer system in the Big Apple. Must have done something right. Now they have the common sense to ask ME for funds if they run low. Taught them very well, indeed.
