You go to MacDonalds, you order your Big Mac, and you probably begin to eat. But then, some paranoid health-nut comes up to you and says,
"Didn't you know? Big Macs contain some sort of oogly-boogly thingy that can kill you!"
You, now guilted by the "facts", throw your burger out and go to Subway, only to figure that their cold-cuts are made of meat, which, according to HealthNutsStupidPants Magazine, can cause cancer.
See, this whole paranoia of dying from everyday goods and foods has become the "next big thing". Because of modern science, we can figure out all of the effects and negative side-effects of using thes products.
That is all fine, but it soon becomes annoying when it seems like everything can kill you.
See, only recently have people discovered that wearing headphones can triple your chance of getting injured while walking.
The study tells that people are less aware when walking with headphones on because they can't hear outside cues like sirens or car horns. That makes sense: You probably block your ears up when you're being scolded by your mother
Regardless, the problem shouldn't be the headphones, but the people wearing them. I myself wear headphones when I'm walking downtown, and I make sure I'm paying attentin to my surroundings and making sure I'm not in anybodies way. As long as people look both ways and watch for oncoming traffic, then there shouldn't be any problems.
Should there now be a penelty for anyone wearing headphones? Should there be laws against listening to music? If you agree, then you're just enforcing the wimpifying of our society. All the "Child-Safety" and "Zero Tolerance" policies make people overly protective and weaker. You can't say anything without making sure you're not insulting anyone within the tri-county area.
We as a society have to learn to use common sense and stop relying on other people or laws to dictate what we can and cannot do.
So when someone tells you Big Mac's are unhealthy, you look them square in the eye, take a large bite, and then sigh in indulgence from the delectable delight that you will enjoy without guilt.
Thanks for reading, as usual. Have a nice day.

Nothing says "cool" like a $449 hearing device sponsored by some rapper
