100 degree swimming pool. I bet that cost a pretty penny.

No more of a concentration of chlorine in municipal tap-water than is in most swimming pools-The city I live in, you can take a sample of tap and test it with a pool test kit and get levels that would be fine in a swimming pool with a stable PH-I've even tested tap-water that had higher concentrations of chlorine than a stable pool.

Won't hurt em terribly but hey: How do WE know the gator dint have burny eyes, eh? He most assuredly wanted out of that enclosure and back into some dirt-water though...

The price of water is never something I've even had to think about, really ( I live off lake Michigan). It just's small change on top of other various bills (well... $1.68 per 768 gallons, but since I don't water my lawn or own a swimming pool, it hardly ever amounts to much). What goes around comes around in the winter time though when it comes time to run the heater.

EDIT
ok I totally fucked the number i used cf instead of ccf to calculate the amoont so its 1/100th the amount which would be about $41.00 OOPS!


Just for fun i figured it would cost me about $4100 to fill an average swimming pool.

This tells me that my original plans for a swimming pool in space will need to be revisited.

2013, and Sean Penn sucks ball-sacks even more than before, may he drown drunken in some swimming-pool and achieve Nirvana...

Pools are well-regulated. There are guidelines on access control and insurance liability. It would be good if guns had more regulation than swimming pools. Guns aren't just a risk to your family (and statistically, they are a MASSIVE risk to you family), they are a risk to everyone. It's hard to take a concealed swimming pool into a movie theater and drown everyone.

Anyway, nobody is trying to take away your guns. Although I wouldn't really be opposed to it (e.g. I'd be happy living in one of the many peaceful nations with strict gun control laws). I've been hunting and skeet shooting a handful of times and I think it's fair to say that long rifles and shotguns are a part of American culture for a hundred plus years. But I wouldn't care if all semi-automatic handguns and rifles were banned.

Thank you

I've just realised how biased this poll is: only people who tend to read the comments (and generally take interest in the community) would look at a poll in the first place... I has failed at polling


Now, now... *takes her into his arms and pats her head* we all make mistakes sometimes; the important thing is to learn from them, though.
Oh, one more lesson:

How can this not have a WTF tag ?

And water tag? *water

I don't understand why so many people are terrified of guns. They simply aren't scary. Up until the early 1900's, almost every family living in the US had a gun in the house. The United States wouldn't even exist if the colonials hadn't hidden and stockpiled their gun from the British as that was the first thing the British did when moving into a new town.....confiscating the guns. This emasculated the men, most volunteer "soldiers", and made revolt much less likely and population control much more manageable.

The 2nd amendment was created not for hunting or for sport, but for the civil defense of our citizens against tyranny and control. The authors of the constitution remembered how hard it was having weapons removed by government control and wanted to have measure in place to allow citizens to legally carry arms to defend themselves against similar actions in the future. It is a very empowering right.

In 2008, there were 75 deaths by firearm of children aged 1-15, 24 of which were actually suicides that were included in that gun death total. By contrast, 1,543 children of that same age group were killed in moving vehicle accidents and 735 by drowning. Therefore, we should be SIGNIFICANTLY more afraid of cars and pools than of guns by a wide margin, yet we don't have people calling the police because some kids are in a swimming pool or riding in a car.

Every male in Switzerland has a government issued semi-auto rifle. Literally every one (420,000+), yet they have some of the lowest crime rates in the entire world.

"Police statistics for the year 2006 records 34 killings or attempted killings involving firearms, compared to 69 cases involving bladed weapons and 16 cases of unarmed assault. Cases of assault resulting in bodily harm numbered 89 (firearms) and 526 (bladed weapons). As of 2007, Switzerland had a population of about 7,600,000. This would put the rate of killings or attempted killings with firearms at about one for every quarter million residents yearly. This represents a decline of aggravated assaults involving firearms since the early 1990s. The majority of gun crimes involving domestic violence are perpetrated with army ordnance weapons, while the majority of gun crime outside the domestic sphere involves illegally held firearms." - Wikipedia (of course)

My point is that guns are not inherently dangerous, significantly less in fact than a car or water statistically speaking. Having an armed society is a very good thing. Fearing people with guns only gives the gun power that it wouldn't have otherwise. Yes, there are shitty people out there doing bad things with guns, but I am more afraid of the distracted soccer mom in her minivan talking on the phone while beating her kids in the backseat while jugging a Starbucks latte driving 10 MPH over the limit (which I see all the time) than anyone carrying a gun. A good percentage of armed robberies aren't even committed with real guns, but the power that people without solid gun knowledge gives those guns, even fake, is what makes them dangerous.

Also, just an FYI, there are over 270,000,000 guns held by private citizens in this country yet 14,000 murders were committed by guns in 2010, and gun crime is down 11% since that time. That is a very low number of firearm murders considering how many guns are actually out there.

I am climbing off my soapbox now.
