I suppose that canned food is very important in a country where all fauna and flora are deadly, one way or the other.

That is exactly what my grandaddy used to say. He died as he lived: they found him laid out in the kitchen with broken ring-pulls on 3 of his fingers and the can opener grasped in his other cold, dead hand.

On a less serious note, I need a 6 pack simultaneous can opener

I've opened many a can with a regular straight clip blade on my pocket knife. Too many to count.

I don't think people will ever understand the true gravity of the situation concerning people not having proper training using can openers. If we simply tighten the laws things like this wouldn't happen. Would you let your daughter go out in the real world without can opener regulations?

Today I opened a can of lentil soup with one of those rudimentary can openers, the kind that work almost like an opposite bottle opener. I was at school, and that’s all there was to use, because months earlier I broke the regular can opener, and didn’t replace it because I would always forget, until I had to open a can of soup.

I FEEL that they must be outlawed and totally removed from society.

When that is done, I'll FEEL so much safer and happier knowing that people will really have to work to open a can something fattening and thereby everybody will benefit.

Blah blah blah....

Can openers don't open cans, *people* open cans. Can openers are just tools. Nevermind that they are tools designed specifically for opening cans, they cannot do it in and of themselves - they need people to turn the handle.

lol! This is fun

You miss the point, if people didn't have auto can openers then think of all the cans that would be saved.
