Quite right, they'll always create a better idiot.

Absolutely spectacular Darwin Award, and totally NSFW.
Innovation knows no bounds in the consummate idiot.

But... that's what they're trying to do, if they try to remove everything that could possibly be harmful b/c there are idiots out there...

Don't think I ever drank just to get drunk ... and there's no flavour in an enema - I thimk - but maybe there's some other enticing element. Anyway, methinks that Darwin Award was well - albeit tardily - placed. But just the thought of the process makes me shudder :o.

Which is just about anything you can experience in the course of a normal day. Is there anything that cannot be harmful in excess? I knew a man who killed himself via excessive sex - fatal heart attack. Don't feel sorry for him, but feel very sorry for his partner at that moment ... she spent several years in psychotherapy.
There are times when I could agree with the argument of preemptive Darwin Awards ... not often, but at times ...

To me, this represents the absolute greatest danger - the well-meaning idiot that actually believes that violently forcing/imposing their stupid ideas on others will somehow solve all the world's problems and magically protect all the other numbskulls from their own idiocy.
I'm all for offering a helping hand, but that's not what happens when some retard decides that now all FPS video games must be banned/criminalized, or insert any other dumb idea there. Any idea that must be "enforced" is probably a bad idea. I don't see banning violent video games as any kind of a solution to any problem, whether or not they do lead to violent behaviour.
