Fence might be safer on the TOP.


Yeah, it might, but to be honest the modern society is way too lenient towards morons as it is, we need to have ways to weed out even some of the cases.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put the gate up at the top or at the stairs so no one could slide down it in the first place!?
>> ^StealthNuck:
To be fair to the engineers, the slide is closed. The steel gate is supposed to disuade idiots from sliding down when there is no supervision present.
eia indeed.

That depends on your objective. A fence at the top stops them from going down that particular slide. A broken leg will likely prevent them from trying these shenanigans on any slide, at any park.



The fact that there's a camera person there at the bottom shows that they were fully aware the gate was closed. So it's not "Too late I realize that this may have been a bad idea," and more, "LET'S GET THIS BAD IDEA ON THE ROAD!"

Good.

Folks love to see things mishaps.

Rhythm.

Get Firefox and these kind of spelling mishaps will disappear!

You're republican, I get it.

No - you don't because I'm not. Haven't voted 'Republican' in the last 5 elections.

You're most likely well off, middle to upperclass, and want to keep it that way.

Partly. I don't want to 'keep it that way'. I'd like to move to the upper-upper class some day.

Working class problems don't concern you.

As a working professional I beg to differ. I'm not 'blue collar' if that's what you mean by 'working class', but I am a salaried employee and thus subject to the same issues that effect the bulk of Americans.

The healthcare reform was redundant in your eyes

Redundant? The Obama version of health care reform, yes. Reform of the health care system should take place at a regulatory level - not a 'government involvement' level. In that sense, yes, 'Democrat defined' health care reform very much is redundant (and a whole lot of other negative adjectives).

Given her local and national mishaps, the burden of proof is on people like you to prove she is not stupid.

Given that she had a rather successful gubernatorial term, I'd propose that as evidence that she is not 'stupid' as the neolib left wants to define her. Her roster of actual accomplishments is more robust than Barak Obama's was when he began his presidential run. I'm not saying she's a Rhode scholar, but there is no evidence that she's the brain-dead idiot the hard left wing likes to portray her as. As far as 'papers'? She's not in academia that I know of. She's had a think piece she published on health care in the NY Times. She's written a book. I know that liberals will just pooh-pooh and say that someone wrote them for her - so why even bother talking about them?

Again - I'm not a Palin booster or anything. I just find that the radical left wing is exhibiting a rather large degree of 'Derangement Syndrome' regarding her and those who like her. I also find that such hyperbolic claims are devoid of any substantive evidence and oozing with opinion and misinformation.

WP,

Please point to one intellectual paper or essay or speech, devoid of stupid factual and/or grammatical errors, that Sarah Palin has done. Given her local and national mishaps, the burden of proof is on people like you to prove she is not stupid.

Being stupid is enough to disqualify one for president in my book. I have not heard or read one of her defenders convey a story of proven success of governance from that woman. When she had a chance to prove to everyone she could handle being an executive, by leading the administration of Alaska, she quit to go on the talk show circuit.

She will have her own talk show within 3 years, replacing Coulter and Malkin as the wingnut hottie. I do fervently hope she runs, however. She clearly has enough support from the prole contingent to win the repub nomination. I would give this know-nothing candidate my full support.

Don't the rules usually say you have to ride over the finish?

I found a couple of race rules that say that in the case of a mechanical mishap, the cyclist may still cross the finish line as long as they are accompanied by their bicycle.  If "accompanied by" is allowed to mean "flying through the air with" then I guess he won.

She's certainly one for the history books. In fact I bet future generations will have people devoted to studying her mishaps.

I guess they'd be called... Palintologists!! HA! Get it...?! It's like... paleonto-... nm.
