Have we become THAT retarded?

I mean, seriously. I have to stop and ask simply because EVERYTHING comes with some kind of pretty stupid warning telling us that we should try doing the stuff we see on TV at home. That the coffee that we just bought is hot and may burn. Things have gotten quite a bit weird. Is the next generation so stupid that we have to warn them NOT to be stupid? Do they lack common sense so severely that we need to tell them that they shouldn't do things that are obviously dangerous? It almost seems like we are blatantly telling the general population that they are morons and they need to be told NOT to be stupid. Seriously. It kind of boils down to that...... I am constantly amazed (and not in a good way) at how stupid people are.....
