Hmmm...there's just GOT to be one example of a harmess and effective government safety regulation, right? It's just a matter of looking hard and long enough, right? I've got it—child safety caps! You don't want the little kiddies taking too much medicine, and the only way to make sure that...

Spiritual Safety Tip for Kids I don't know whether to be shocked or LOL. I think this is why billiefan2000 thinks all atheists are sad, because Mr. Gruff is... Also, make sure to avoid talking to atheists. They might cause you to think! :eek: :D There are some other gems on the page...
