    Here we have the classic progressive mentality at work; Because of a bunch of morons decided to eat tide pods and get sick/die, retailers want to make it harder for anyone to obtain them. Unlike guns, tide pods can't be used to kill other people. Tide pods only effect the fool that is stupid enough to eat them. I, personally, have no problems with thinning the herd by letting natural selection take its course.

    I say we simply consider this non-existent fad as a new aspect of Darwinian evolution and appreciate the elimination of inferior genetic materials.

    Idiots!

    I just mentioned this to my partner in crime and she said yep, watch. She's got online videos playing now showing contestants in the 'tide pod challenge'. Lots of Brits.

    Idiots!

    Their gastrointestinal tract says: "Evacuate Now! Evacuate for a week, explosively!"

    I don't think guy is going to be a future doctor/lawyer or anything of value to society. If he wants to do this, I say we let him. One less knuckle dragger to deal with.

    I do think locking up laundry detergent is a bit extreme. But kids who are stupid enough to think it’s candy are simply a dull crayon to begin with.

    Third progressive bashing thread I’ve seen today. I swear PF is becoming a conservative hangout.

    Seems to me these pods would provide a clean break from the human gene pool. ;)

    Trumps far right agenda is energizing progressives, not sending them in retreat.

    lol - you do realize that progressives have lost the House, Senate, and Presidency since 2010, right ?
    The left has lost over 1,000 seats since coming to power during Obama's term.

    Hell, I thought sniffing glue was a joke when that started way back when. Tide pods ain't no joke either.

    But let 'em have it.

    If not Tide it will be something else. Some things can't be fixed but by death.

    The tide pod challenge is just a dare: do it and post it, I dare ya'. Stupid for sure but no one is chasing a high. The vehicle in glue creates an altered mental state. Huffing. I can see locking up arasol paints, glue, duster, solvent etc. People seek the high.

    The detergent pods don't get anyone high, they just taste horrible and people make funny faces when they bite into one. Jackass the movies grossed hundreds of millions, go figure.

    It's a stupid fad, it's a shame the retailers have to spend thousands per store to install enclosures.

    Apparently YouTube is going to ban people from sharing their idiotic pod eating videos.

    The other bad thing is that Tide will now have lawsuits on their hands from idiots who have been approached by slip and fall lawyers. As if Tide detergent wasn’t expensive enough...

    Yep, in one of the videos I watched of idiots doing the "Tide pod challenge" there was a news segment with a Tide representative. They have spent millions to retool their production facilities, modifying the container to make it harder to open and changing the thickness of the 'pod' and also making it opaque and bland, uninviting.

    Social media, it can make you millions or cost you millions.

    - If you had thoroughly read your own URL, you will note they are making them harder to get as people were stealing them.... straight economics, not progressive politics

    SNIP
    Some stores like Walmart and Kroger noted that a spike in thefts of the "forbidden fruit" has forced them to lock up the Tide Pods.
    ENDSNIP

    Unlike guns, tide pods can't be used to kill other people. Tide pods only effect the fool that is stupid enough to eat them.

    - Anything that can kill people voluntary can probably be used to kill other people... I have to assume they taste bad, but if not, they could be used for bad purposes, but then again, so can a million other things you can buy in a grocery store or Home Depot that aren't locked up...

    I, personally, have no problems with thinning the herd by letting natural selection take its course.

    - Amen to that

    But interesting post on TrumpShutdown day.... thanks!

    Right, because these people actually think Republicans are going to help them. Its called a swing of the political pendulum. Democrats started gaining a majority in 2006, and won the White House in 2008. The Tea Party, as you can probably imagine, were made up of a bunch of disgruntled old folk that wanted to go back to the "Golden Age of America" which was the 1950's. And that's exactly what they are hoping will happen with Trump. The Republican Party has become the party of regressing to another point in time.

    Probably not. It is a normal reaction by industry in our society today. Very stupid, but typical. Litigious society we live in.

    The left?

    The left never had anything remotely close to 1000 seats.

    Maybe 1/100 of that.

    Some bunch of yayhoos in California are suing utilitity companies for causing the mudslides. Consumers will pay, if only for a legal defense against idiots.
