I'm surprised they are allowed pens... I figured they would be restricted to crayons they way it going over there.

Scouts with non-locking knives with blades less than 3"


I hate to, but I've got to ask this question,,,,have they all gone friggin nuts over there. Is it the water, something in the food, the air, what the hell happened to common sense.

Crayons? You could poke an eye out with one of those!
Next up for ban: Pointy sticks!
Only by deforesting entirely and removing wood from buildings can we prevent the deadly menace that are sticks and.. sticks with nails in.
We MUST keep people from using these implements for destruction. Someone PLEASE! Think of the children!!!

Better. remove all sharp corners. construct everything out of smooth and rounded single-piece molded plastics with a coating of foam rubber and puncture/tear resistant vinyl. deny people the use of clothing as it would give them a chance to conceal.
Then have cameras everywhere, ration food intake, what type of content they get access to and whom they can meet. Only by indoctrinating people into the system will we truly be safe. everyone will have the same type of quarters, education, food, etc. possessions will be banned as they can inspire jealousy. breeding programs will be forcefully implemented so eventually all people will look the same. alternate dialects and culture will be a thing of the past.
Huzzah Big Brother!
Huzzah Nanny state!

Common sense cant really exist in a society where most of the people choose to have the government think for them.

Coming soon to a state or national bill near you! Next week they outlaw hurt feelings, and the United States will blindly follow!

I agree, I think someone spiked their tea with crazy juice or something.
