Nothing unusual about the lake. Some folks just don’t see the need to learn to swim - or to teach their kids to swim.

So you're fine with the drownings. Asshat.

Nothing in Rio's post indicates that Rio is "fine with the drownings."

What a terrible way to reply to Rio. Would it be OK to say I was fine the drownings, and I wish you could have been one? Then I looked at your page and see it is not really your fault that you are so crude... Bad parenting. And that is what Rio said, bad parenting caused these kids to drown, and bad parenting made you the way you are. Slink away.

Let's see - folks who don't know how to swim end up over their head and drown. You think that someone ought to do something about it and consider folks who live in reality to be "asshats".

So, how intrusive does the Nanny-State need to be on this one? Do they need to ensure no body of water that people can access is over a foot deep? Do they need to mandate life vests for waders/swimmers?

Like they say, "You can make anything fool proof; you just can't make it damn-fool proof".Exactly where does personal responsibility end and government control take over? Your Freedom depends on where you draw the line, so think it over carefully.

You seem a pleasant sort. What a nimrod.
