Doctors' kitchen knives ban call

[quote name='Iacobus' date='May 27 2005, 10:13 PM'] If you read it, they aren't trying to ban all kitchen knives, but only those with pointed ends. The chefs they talked to for the article said they didn't need the knives, they could use shorter blades, which are less likely to be able to kill with, for the same tasks. It is like the US banning parts of cars, not the car itself. [/quote]
It's still incredibly stupid. The government isn't my mother and I don't want it to be my mother. Fortunately, I live in the US and own an assault rifle, a magnum revolver, and many sharp objects.

in japan, the sharpness of kitchen knives is almost an obsession (well, they do eat most everything with chopsticks) you never hear them complaining

Well until a man in a giant panda suit stabs a bunch of kindergarteners

LoL!! That is a new level of dumb lol...You can stab some with a pen if you wanted to, people need to spend more time trying to stop the reasons for the assaults (ie drugs, alcohol) rather than idiotproofing everything!

We really should ban rocks. Didn't Cain kill Able with a rock?

OK, since fire needs oxygen to burn, let's fight arson by banning oxygen and eliminating all current oxygen in the atmosphere!
