    yeah this sounds too stupid to be real. If some baby gets burned from hot bath, MAYBE it's the parents fault? Maybe they should make it illegal for these kind of parents to have babies, if it happens more than once?

        yeah, you've got to wonder how humanity survived all this time without controls on bath water...

          The Rosbifs can do whatever they want, as long as it's on their own territory.

          They'll pry my favourite sauna from my cold, dead hands!

            DD, we don't care... let them have their stupidities. It's not like we are going to be affected by it.

              Remeber this is the sun so most of the concerns are just scaremongering

              Whats wrong with limiting tap water to non-dangerous temperatures? I cant really think why you would want dangerously hot water coming out of your tap anyway.

                US building codes (or at least CA) require scold protectors on bath tubs... that's the best we can do

                  I thought that the sauna was sacred to you people.

                    Always remember that the nine most scary words in the English language are "Hello, I'm from the government. I'm here to help."
                    Yeah, us Floridians were sure scared when the government showed up to "help" us after the hurricanes lat year.

                    Dumbass!

                    As usual, conservatives equate protecting others with protecting you from yourself. This is about making sure that those who rely on others don't get scalded, not so you don't scald yourself.

                    Yeah, we should let all those babies and people in nursing homes just suffer the consequences of someone else's actions.

                    More proof conservatives are evil.

                      For most of humanity, hot water isn't an issue.

                        You've got to wonder how mankind survived until the 19th century without police or medicine. Or you have to wonder how mankind survived until the 20th century without regulations on food products.

                        We could do away with society completely, and we'd survive... in miserable conditions, but we'd remain a viable species.

                        A law shouldn't be seen in the light of whether it helps us survive or not, but in the light of whether it improves our life. If there actually is a significant amount of children who are scolded by water taps (as SpencerH, a doctor, claims), and if there is an increasing trend (as the politician that started the initiative claims), then I think it's a good idea to try to solve the problem.

                          Spiff, it's scAld, not scOld. Scalding is burning with water. Scolding is telling someone off.
