Water doesn't drown people

Why do I have to put a fence around my pool?

Why do you have a pool - do you NEED one? or do you NEED one that big that it requires a fence?
The fence of course necessary to keep trespassers out (you know, those who invade your personal property illegally)?
That said, it is your local government and/or state that requires the fence (my town does not require one). Obama isn't writing an executive order on those.
They all so scary brilliant there on the island. Thank God they are contained there by the master Skinner.

Unless your pool's empty. Pool + Water = Drown. Pool - Water = No Drown. See how that works? Sorry, Mr. Hawking. Try punching something else up on your keyboard. And we wonder why you idiots have so much trouble with logic, math, science, English, grammar, History, Tiddly Winks, going outside the house. etc., etc,. etc....

Insurance companies require them here......dang lawyers.
ETA: Have to have insurance on the farm to cover trespassers that might get hurt or fall in a pond.

That OP was so STUPID (How stupid was it?)
My computer lost memory! :rimshot:
So, I'm off to the store to buy more RAM, AGAIN!!! :argh:
I should know better than to visit the DUmp, but it's like watching a train wreak. Hideous, but you can't look away.

I doubt the stupid son of a bitch understands the difference.

Because you may fall in while licking the windows on the back of your house, and there is no such thing as a "removing dead DUmmies from swimming pool service."

Interesting - insurance. That will be their next target.
Edward B. Rust Jr., CEO and chairman of the board of State Farm Mutual Insurance Co., said this week that gun ownership "could be among a multitude of things" considered among the risk factors used by insurance companies to determine the cost of homeowners insurance policies. "But," he added, "whether someone owns a gun doesn't necessarily make them a risk. . . . The bigger debate is, Are people competent in gun ownership?"
Rust made his comments following a panel discussion at a forum for property and casualty insurers held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York on Monday.
In recent weeks, some commentators have suggested that insurance could play a role in mitigating gun violence. Insurers could offer discounts for gun owners who indicated they use gun locks and other safety features, suggests Marsha N. Cohen, a law professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law. Another option: Consumers would have to show proof of coverage before buying guns.
Accidents represent just 2.6 percent of all gun fatalities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But that figure rose by 37 percent, from 1.9 percent, from 2010 to 2011.
State Farm does not specifically ask applicants whether they own firearms, says Jeff McCollum, a company spokesman. In most states, the company's standard homeowners policy covers up to $2,500 of loss if guns are stolen or destroyed. Owners of expensive collectible guns can buy a separate "personal articles policy" for the value of what they own.
State Farm does not give special discounts for people who use gun locks and other safety devices, McCollum said. The company sells policies in every state and has 20 to 25 percent of the homeowners and auto insurance market. (Check our buying guide and Ratings for homeowners insurance.)
Rust seemed reluctant to insert himself or the industry in the gun-violence debate. He acknowledged that "compliance and safety" had to be part of people's thinking about guns. But, he said, while there was a need for a "healthy debate" on the subject, insurers weren't geared up to police policyholders on whether they're taking proper gun-safety measures in the home. "It's like seat belt laws," he said. "Wearing a seat belt can mitigate injuries. But we can't pull everyone over to make sure they're wearing a belt."

I was considering starting just such a franchise, but the EPA put the kibosh on that idea.
Had to have a "Toxic Waste Disposal" permit to operate. :lmao:

Funny, are there really people out there that have survived long enough to become adults ??????
I betcha this poster has No smoke detectors in his apt or house, not one fire extinguisher or keeps his doors locked. Most likely has no insurance on his auto's and never uses the seat belt.
This poster is a wicked person, he gives a shit if some kids seeing his pool on a hot day come to use his pool, say they were trespassing not his problem.
&%@(* Ass may have pit bulls running the neighborhood that are rabid and he wonders why by law dogs need rabies shots.
This has got to be a mole, really, cleaver and one to bring out the brightest and best of the DU.

Having been an insurance casualty underwriter (Home Indemnity, American Insurance, Fireman's Fund) in a previous life, I can assure DUmmy that he doesn't really have to. He has the option to NOT HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE, and lose everything when that 6 year old comes by and decides to jump in his pool and drown. DUmmy doesn't realize that residential pools constitute an attractive nusance.
So it boils down to a cost/benefit analysis. What costs more, a couple of thousand to fence his pool/backyard, or replace his house and property and the costs of a lawsuit with wrongful death and punitive damages awards?
Of course, he could roll the dice, but I wouldn't bet on his number. (http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/loser.gif)

Some cities/towns or even states mandate the fence through legislation or ordinances.

You don't have to! Just get a Buckwild WV dumptruck pool!

Why does anyone need a pool deeper than two feet?

Notice how when the sub 80 IQers try to act smart they actually come off even more stupid than they normally are?

Agggg, we got an above ground pool four foot deep at one time and allowed the neighbors kids to come swim.
Not a big pool but one large enough that we had to test the water twice a day and add chemicals when needed, then when anyone was in the pool I had to be standing guard in case of a problem. We had a fenced in yard and a cover for the pool.
Allot of work that pool, cleaning it and spending time outside watching out for the neighbors kids. Kids would as young a 4-5 show up at my door at 7 am in bathing suites, and a towel to go swimming.
This pool was for my kids but when their friends came over what could I do.???? Came the day I could no longer watch the neighbors kids and shut the pool down, I came home from shopping to find the pool vandalised, a trycycle in the bottom rocks and sticks, and the sides slashed.
This was not been done by Adults, this was done by children angry at me for closing the pool down. So what was I to do but to replace the pool and allow no one but my kids to use it, keep the guard dogs in the yard when I was not home and have the parents of the kids that had just sent their little kids to go to a strangers home to swim to be upset with me when I stopped the fun and games.?????? Hell if one or two of them drowned I had no idea who their parents were.
People are crazy, why do they they think a neighbor owes it to their kids to give them advantages they them self could give them.????

By DUmmy thinking, water should be banned because it can kill by drowning. :whatever: ::) :mental:

Or another way of saying it is this. "How many Kids have dies from being beaten or otherwise been harmed by a fence in school?"

Until they're ready to ban Muslims I get to keep my guns.

Mine does. Ain't too many home pools around here though. Most of the kids go jump in the Coal river when it gets hot.

Those dead Chicago hoodrats, along with the vast majority of other violent crimes in the U.S., aren't the work of muzzies.
If the jug-eared Kenyan had a son, he'd look like the perpetrators.

Pool control!
Ban all pools deeper than 7 inches!
Require registration of all pools, even kiddie pools!
Tax pool water to discourage filling of pools!

I hope the Coal River isn't as bad as the Kanawah River. I heard a story many years ago about a fisherman throwing his cigarette butt into the river, and it catching fire!

I believe it's called di-hydrogen monoxide, like carbon monoxide.
Makes it sound more "menacing". :lmao:
