Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
I feel like if you refuse to shovel and salt the sidewalk in front of the house, and your neighbor slips, falls, and breaks his leg, there might be more reason for a fine as compared with if you yourself slip and fall and break your own leg. Also, there are situations where parents neglect their ch...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?
Russian historians like to mark the start of their WW2 with the German invasion in June 1941. But in truth it started in September 1939 when they cooperatively invaded and partitioned Poland together with Germany. Why pick that as the start of the WW2 rather than also include the actions of the sur...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Words have meanings. How exactly were the SAR team negligent? Well, one of them died in this apparently dangerous waterfall, and we just got done hearing a lecture about how if your child dies in this waterfall it's obviously your fault. Don't see how the SAR team is fundamentally different. (I'm n...

Re: May 16, 2024 - Posters at a Glance
Anyone close enough to overtake me so I fall off the list? That might constitute negligence and the person causing you to fall might end up in prison on felony charges. So… who are we charging if I “fall” off of Mennonet? You'd probably have to come back on and testify before any charges could be f...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision
In my lexicon, anything that carries cargo above decks falls into the category of barge. Parsing of terminologies can run into interesting exchanges. Time to get a new lexicon. Also, btw it's not at all surprising that it's the "things that carry cargo above decks" that damage bridges, as...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision
Is it not true? Which part? I remember driving the old 7 mile bridge to Key West in 1970-71. It was very narrow and when a large truck was oncoming, it was also a white knuckler. We did not need carnival rides in that era. We had narrow bridges. The ship that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore wasn't ...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision
The Baltimore bridge carried a great deal more traffic and was a part of a major harbor area. The Texas bridge not so. Yet it seems odd that both bridges were struck with barges. Yes, that would seem odd - if it was true. Is it not true? Which part? I remember driving the old 7 mile bridge to Key W...
