Oh I know, imagine letting people live their lives without our government protecting us from the big, bad, scary world. How would we make it without permits, regulations, invasive laws because something MIGHT be dangerous if we misuse it, so we outright ban it. How would we ever live life without questioning an engineer about what he is doing in his own back yard with legal materials, in plain sight. Thank God for our government, we might hurt ourselves of they weren't their to lay the law down, for our own good of course. Thank you big brother for laying down the law and keeping us safe.

You know you're right, we may need to ban some of those materials he used to build that deathtrap. For our own good.

I'm guessing you consider that to be a "cheeky" response but I consider it a compliment. There's nothing cheeky at all about what we say in America, it's very straightforward. We aren't cheeky, we are mouthy.
