Black people sink, White people swim
Is there any other explanation for why black people can't swim?
Any other explanation?
black people are more dense.
Am I talking about dense as "thick skulled" and "uneducated" or am I talking about "density"
Either way, it's still funny 3/17/2012 9:38:54 PM |

My parents would take me to the bathroom and make me take a bath. Sounds like a litigious bunch. I'm betting on lawsuits that people weren't even expecting.

Sounds like to me that those kids were trespassing. It sucks what happened but there are usually consequences when you break the law.
If I hop a fence and go play at an airport and stumble onto the runway and a 747 lands on me, then that's my fault. 3/18/2012 1:25:43 AM |

^ wrong thread, plus the story is about how the family of the kid that got killed is saying it was not self defense. Of course they're going to say that, what did you expect and it's fox "news" to boot. Were you thinking they were going to report only facts and not emotially charged bullshit? 3/18/2012 10:33:43 AM |

You'd be wrong in this case. Check out case law on children and attractive nuisances. These kids walked through an open gate. They were hardly jumping fences.3/18/2012 10:38:00 AM |
settledown Suspended 11583 Posts user info edit post |
assuming this water treatment facility is operated or funded by local government, they will have very explicit safety documentation that probably references the fence and gate specifically
that will go a long way in court (or while negotiating a settlement) 3/18/2012 10:48:11 AM |

This also had a drain, sucking at the same time, according to the article. I think swimming would have helped him. But if the force was too much for him to grab the stick he was offered, and pull himself out, I'm not sure swimming would have been enough to save him. 3/18/2012 10:50:03 AM |

Quote : | "When Labrone Wade slipped on the black lining surrounding the pond and fell into the water, which is 8 to 10 feet deep, three other children jumped in to try and save him.
When that didn't work, they held out a stick for him to grab, said Wade's stepfather, Donald Phillips, but a water pump in the pond created a strong current that tugged Wade away from his friends.
"As the kids were trying to pull him another way, the pump was pulling him another way," Phillips said Saturday. "He just got to the point where he got tired and ended up letting go. He fought as long as he could."" |
If three other *children* were able to jump in to try to save him and they did not drown as well, I doubt that the current was strong enough to overpower someone who knows how to swim. Also, it sounds like he was able to struggle against the pull of the water for a period of time, I bet knowing how to swim would have saved his life.

If a kid just walked in and drowned in your tub, then you would probably get into trouble.

JBaz All American 16764 Posts user info edit post |
if a kid walked into my home unannounced right now, day or night. Getting killed by the tub is the last thing on the list that would constitute as being hazardous... ***as in my house is a death trap if you can't navigate through the junk, successfully avoid the vast amount of vast of dangerous pointed and sharp objects hanging on the walls. *** (And me possibly being armed with a sword and a shotgun... actually shotgun with a sword on the bottom). 3/19/2012 4:29:18 PM |

Unfortunately, our society has degraded to the point to where a lawsuit is likely and is likely to be won in this case. It's a sad story, but these kids were trespassing and knew they shouldn't have been there. It's no ones fault but the kids. 3/19/2012 7:12:38 PM |
