Properly kept, it's never going to be an issue. Accidently leave it on the floor, and someone can slip or get cut. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (4 children) Being responsible dos not remove a danger from existence. Accidents can still happen. Intent can change. The danger is always present. You even acknowledge this in n your last sentence. Yes, being responsible and respectful of a dangerous item (e.g. knife, gun, whatever) is always good, and will minimize the danger. But the danger is always present, and thus always requires the responsibility and respect. I still believe my original point stands. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children) My point was that spilled milk is just as, if not more dangerous than a knife. Everything in life has a degree of risk. Part of being an adult is managing or accepting those risks. You can roll off your bed and get hurt, does this mean that there is no place in society for bedframes? Perfectly healthy people are going to die or get seriously injured from falling down stairs today, shouldn't we ban multi-level housing as a response? Probably hundreds of people are going to get cut or die from a knives today, is that a reason not to carry one? For me, no. I have lots of useful things I do daily with a knife. Not carrying a knife when I needed one has caused me many more issues than carrying a knife when I didn't. However, if you live in a perfect pampered world where you never need to cut, slice, open, poke, pry, trim, shave or shape anything, I could see why carrying a little pocket folder might be an unnecessary risk. I live in a safe place where crime is low and dangerous wild animals are few, so I don't carry a firearm, it's an unnecessary risk and an uncomfortable inconvenience for what I would get out of it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 child) You seem to have come under the impression that I’m against knives.
