Worst news ever

[samlad]

The point is that....at the moment many ladies do feel comfortable with their work with regard safety because there are some ways they can ensure to the best of their ability that they stay as safe as possible.
This new law is not criminalising the ladies but it is opening them up to the possibility of further risk under the cloak of a law that is supposed to do the opposite.
Im guessing the sector you refer to has health and safety risks that lead to accidents?
This is a law that will lead to health and safety risks
Its crazy

The point is that Ber is a bitter old cynic who masks his unhappiness and contempt by insisting that he is a realist, not a pessimist.

Ah, yes, the old 'occupational hazard' argument. I suppose manufacturers should stop putting seat belts in cars next because it's their own fault if the driver brakes too hard and goes through the windscreen. But at least some people will assess that and make that choice not to drive or get in a car at all.

Thats a very poor example im afraid as seat belts being cumpulsory has as much to do with safety of others as the user themselves.

I read this news in the paper while at lunch.

Samlad made the point this will put ladies in increased danger.

A post from Torl appeared on Facebook.
I made exactly the same point and was abused no end.

It's a tough one to argue against as most aren't interested or have an opinion based on propaganda.

I think it's the end

Im afraid ure well off the mark as in fact im quite happy with my lot in life.

I disagree. If I had a car and it was suddenly made compulsory to remove the seat belts, but I was in a position where I had to commute to a remote area every day because it was my livelihood, it's not like I could just quit my job on that basis.

I think you're just trying to be contrary to whatever I post. At least my apparent incorrect opinion of you won't be the worst you've ever had. Glass half full and all that.

Anyone with any constructive ideas?

but its hardly that big of news or a shock as it was always in the pipeline, didn't we not all know this was going to happen

Indeed i value ure opinions highly as i do ure right to have them but that makes my opinion no less valid because i may disagree with yours. I just view life different to u, i set myself targets in life that have been achievable have hit most of them ,through hard work have made myself financally comfortable, have had to make sacrifices along the way but dont regret the choices i made. Where we differ is that i know the world is a cruel harsh place and if u are naive enough to think it will give u what u
feel u are entitled to u may be in for a nasty surprise, probably contrary to what u may think very little fazes me and i dont
do stress, just dont see the point because at the end of the day we are here for a little while and nobody has conquered
that reality yet
