Where is Common Sense? (Page 3)

I read they have movie nights there and put out beach chairs by the water. That would be Disney hotels fault for even throwing such an event by easy access waters making people think it's a "beach"
Exactly. It's more of the false sense of security Disney provides that does not make this a common sense issue.

I don't know about this being common sense ....I mean there are sharks in the ocean ...but it doesn't stop people from going to the beach and letting their kids play in the ocean? I feel bad for their parents...
Well..it's common sense to know there are sharks in the ocean and it's THEIR HOME....not ours. Anyone with half a brain knows the risks of swimming in the ocean.
People just do whatever they want all willynilly without thinking about it first.
Either they're just dumb or have an overactive first world sense of entitlement that their lives should always be safe.

right there are other people showing pictures of their kids in the same spot...

so why do people do it? there have even been reports of shark attacks close to shore ...why do people continue to go the beach and get in the water at all?

Because most people are dumb as fuck. The small minority know the risks and take them anyways.
Most shark attacks are preventable...
Don't go in the water at night...or in murky water...or near a river mouth...or when baitfish are present in large numbers...
Some dipshit in FL decided it was a good idea to go wade at river mouth in murky water to go fishing and thought it was an even better idea to also keep fresh bait in the pocket of his shorts.
Fucker got ripped up by a bull shark...like no one saw that coming.

thats true....people do have a entitlement that their lives should be safe....like in night clubs ,movie theaters, church,elementary schools, at work, on vacation, in the zoo and at the mall unfortunately its not .....so my question to you is where are we safe?

You aren't safe anywhere. The only person obligated to protect you is YOU. You're not entitled to going through life with no threats to you.
Thinking you ARE entitled is the mentality that leads to events like this.

ok so this is a dangerous situation where people could be killed?
there is a large group of people there------assuming allllllll these parents aren't negligent isn't it safe to assume that they aren't aware of any immediate danger—
the hotel doesn't think its necessary to let people know that they're is danger?click to expand
That's so crazy to me. The hotel see this constantly and allow it.
Once in 43 years.

You're putting words in my mouth.
The fact is we live in a dangerous and unpredictable world. Your life could be taken at any moment by any number of means. To think you can blissfully go through life without ever being subjected to danger or threats is ignorant.
No one is ultimately responsible for your safety except you. In the case of that child...the responsibility rests with the parents.
If you allow your bite sized child to wade in the water...at night...in Florida...well...you've pretty much failed as a parent.
This is a man made lake though (google it). No one would think there are gators there. That's why Disney will lose in a lawsuit.

I'm assuming they all are negligent.
And
I didn't say the hotel had no responsibility-- check my prior post
a page or two back.
My point is that large groups of people successfully defying posted
warnings is a shitty reason to assume they are safe-- they're not...
They're lucky.
Posted by sunkisses26it makes me sad that people are making jokes when they lost their child
So, everyone in here is just suppose to ignore the fact that they are capable of critical thought ... because you're sad
There's not one person in here who even remotely suggested that this isn't a horrible tragedy .. but, since you're sad, everyone in here is suppose to stop having their own views and exclusively listen to your irrational ones.

Everyone knows living in itself is a risk, and you're not promised tomorrow, but.people still do stupid shit thinking that it is.

Was the baby drunk?Seems like drunk ppl like to swim in lagoons where crocs are, down here.
If the baby wasn't drunk, the parents are dumbasses.
Maybe the alligator was drunk. The judge could give him a lighter sentence.

It's Florida, so if the size of the average pickup truck I've seen in Florida is any indication, the gator probably also had a small peen.

I know, I just wamted to amswer bcuz you're presenting scenarios where one cant control the actions of another or situation. However these parents had the means and opportunity to decide and act on what was best for their 2 year old childs safety...and they didn't take it, so this was their outcome, the othe idiot parents just.got lucky. .

Of course they wouldn't have known, people don't usually KNOW they're in a dangerous situation until they're in one. The point is, is to read the signs around you, and then decide if it's a risk you are willing to take and MOST importantly, a risk you can live with. I wouldn't be able to risk a 2 year old whether it was my own child or someone else's I'm looking after. It's called being precautious. That kid wouldn't be dead.
Florida is built on a swamp. I mean it's called Alligator Alley.
There was a no swimming sign. I wouldn't even question the reasoning for the sign, that alone let's me know we don't belong there.
At 9:15 your 2 year old isn't in close proximity?? Close proximity meaning your lap or on your hip— And is wading in the same water near that big no swimming sign.... Yeah ok.
So whose fault would it have been if a stranger snatched the child and ran off—
Posted by truecap
Watching a news story on the tragic event of the child killed by an alligator in Florida. The hotel had a No Swimming sign, but is getting criticized for not having a Beware of Gators sign.But come ON!
You're in Florida. Around water. Do you have to be told to beware of alligators? Really? Alligators are everywhere in Florida. It's common knowledge. You even see them on the highway for goodness sake.
I don't mean to sound cold about what happened. It's tragic and my heart hurts for it. But to blame the hotel? The alligator was in it's natural habitat. How is this the hotel's fault?
why would you take a child there anyway? or even adults?
remember the true story of the Grizzly bear lover, Timothy Treadmill??
same thing where you are near the wild and you can't mess with these animals or be around their habitat. leave it to the rangers. Even the experienced rangers are in danger too.
I get scared just thinking about going to Florida or places where there are lots of dangerous animals.
The Wild animal park is about as adventurous as i'll get near animals that wild.

@Greenteathe whole area should have been fenced off alligators walk on land too..people shouldn't have been allowed in that area....the LARGE group of people shouldn't have been allowed in the water...people should have been warned that there were wild animals in the water ....its seems like we ALL have an opinion on what SHOULD HAVE happened after the fact
It doesn't matter what everyone else does. It's not their kid to keep safe.

Never let your guard down with a 2 year old around, even if it's at the happiest place on earth. So ya, you and I can agree to disagree.

Hey my coworker was telling something like this. He asked did you hear about the small kid drowning at a pool or friends pool I said no. I asked him did you hear about the broad day light child abduction where the guy was trying to take the kid and parent fought that attacker for their kid. He said no I didn't hear. So there's two stories right now involving kids as young as 3 right now and now this is the 5th one in few weeks apart.
I have been seeing conflicting reports. I just watched the news and they reported a totally different story. I'm gonna need the media to get it together. Because if it happened that way, they need the snot sued out of them.

I don't even get in the water ankle deep I take my chair up to the shore and sit down, tan, read a book or watch others out that are way too far for my liking. Everytime i see dolphins I automatically think they protect us from sharks literally I've seen on TV.
I also love funnel cakes and chilling at the beach. My brother's are those type way out there. I was so scared for them you way too far from shore way out there. Come I'm waving for them to come closer to my liking.
I mean paddle surfing or ones that stand up paddling, or ones swimming way beyond pier measurement without anything. I'm just a cautious person over all.
I was 8 or 9 when I encountered my first shark so yeah there out...

Was this playing for that particular movie night?:
Is Nancy Grace speaking about this yet?
Liisten to her she knows what's up. Damn I like her so much right now.
That gator was probably strolling at night one night long ago found an opening to this man made lake and called it home. Or it was a pet dropped off and called it home. So if it is man made do they do sweeps every night and day just to make sure? I would faithfully be checking just never know.
Then post dangerous territory enter at your own risk.

@Greenteasorry you are correct neither the boy or his father were in water..they were at movie night THAT WAS SET UP BY THE LAKES EDGE...the child was near the lakes edge and dragged off...the dad then jumped in the water to save him...as I stated the whole AREA should have been fenced cause you know alligator can walk on land.....
It said the boy waded into a foot of water then it said he was on the waters edge, not sure which one is the truth here, they need to get their stories straight...but from what I gather, neither the mother or father was by his side, and presumably in a crowded place at that. Can't do that with a little 2 year old in an unfamiliar area.
I see parents all the time, right there with their little ones on guard, then I see parents that just let their kids roam, not keeping a close eye on them, guards down, chillin. I feel like there are parents that are more attentive than others to their small children.
It's just a sad story all around and it never should've happened.

If that pic and video is of the actual location, just no. That's a nice big area to let a child roam after dark.

Orlando is located in Orange County, Florida.
Based on statistics of registered voters, Orange County is dominated by Democrats.
Orlando also happens to be the same city where Caylee Anthony was found dead.

Haleigh Cummings (missing since Feb 2009 -whereabouts unknown) Putnam County - dominated by Democrats

Of course, the gay bar party crasher a few days ago, made headlines with his heinous act, in Orlando. (again, dominated by democrats)
- IMHO, this makes for an interesting statistical study if one had the time to do so:
County by county, state by state: matching the type of crime with the dominating political party.
This, in order to search and Ident prevailing cultural norms.
Example
In Waco, the Gov. committed the heinous act of deploying apcs and tanks onto the Branch Davidians.
This was approved by Atty Gen. Janet Reno, Bill and Hillary Clinton, each of whom are Democrats.
IMHO, criminal statistics are not detailed enough.
And where does Janet Reno come from?
You guessed it, Florida

It's an accident. It's a fluke thing that happens. People should have common sense of predators in the area they are in- rattlesnakes in the desert, sharks in the ocean, gators in the coastal areas, bears in the northwest,I can't go to the ocean without thinking of the movie Jaws.
And a lake without thinking of Lake Placid.
Me too. Everytime I swim in the beach, river or lake, I've been thinking of Piranha 3D, Jaws, Anaconda, and other sea/lake monster movies. That's why I prefer to swim in pools. Much safer.

And a lake without thinking of Lake Placid.Those two movies are truly the ones I have always been skeptical of animal nature...
Oh and Anaconda I was hell no and sucked the life out of that panther just imagine and it has been caught on tape dying by suffocation.
And a new movie coming out is The Shallows omg that looks great..

I'll just avoid these movies. I'm having a phobia of water because of these movies. Lol 😄
