Why would Disney construct a manmade beach, where gators roam, for kids

[Markle]

bass you're nuckin futs ,,,

The 911 attack cost the USA 3.3 trillion dollars, the first trillion in the first day. ISIS is waging an economic war on the USA. While I can not say they are winning, I can say that they are being very successful.

How did 10 foot gators get in this lake anyway?

You have no answer, unless you put them there and they certainly could have been put there, starving and looking for meat.

They swim there or they come through the swamps or across roads and parking lots. They can easily climb fences and can run or swim nearly 10 mph.
They were not "put" there, you simply can't keep them out. Disney has an entire division whose job it is to follow up on the gator population and calls from employees and visitors.

They're usually caught and destroyed.

 

[Markle]

Why hasn't Disney deported these illegals yet? They are literally eating our babies!

Disney has killed every one that they could find and they were way way too big to have gotten there on their own or grown on the puny food in this lake.

You're really a few fries short of a Happy Meal aren't you. I cut you SOME slack because you are obviously not from or familiar with Florida or much of the south. You have no clue what sort of fish were in that lake, which is connected to other lakes, which are connected to other lakes and all connected to swamps and canals. Racoons and all manner of wildlife will frequent the shores of a body of water.

Perhaps they were distracted, you know like the mother of the boy that climbed into the Gorilla house at the zoo, when they had to shoot the Gorilla.

Perhaps they were. That wasn't the point. The point was that the OP is claiming that swimming should be banned because an alligator might get you. You know, like we should ban guns because a terrorist might shoot you.

Exccept it was banned.

How was an alligator there, more than one, I heard they killed 5 alligators, but then said none of those they thought took the small child.

So we're talking multiple alligators in a lagoon, at a Disney resort, WTF?!

You OBVIOUSLY know nothing about alligators. They took a 9 foot gator out of the drainage ditch next to where my kids caught the school bus in Jacksonville.

Exactly! The point is not everyone understands alligators and the habitat. Hence Disney's signs were inadequate.

Perfectly adequate for nearly forty years.

 

[Clementine]

Because it's Florida, and water.

Always fucking assume that the water is going to kill you. It's basic common fucking sense. If you don't know what is going inside of a body of water, then you know it's deadly. Period.

Well, thank goodness that since everyone has common sense now, we can remove all the warning labels. No more warnings on lemon dish soap that it's not meant to drink. No more warnings on plastic bags because no one is stupid enough to give one to a child to play with. No more warnings on disinfectant wipes that they aren't to be used for baby wipes. Take the warnings off toys since no parent would give a baby a toy meant for a 5 yr. old. And seriously, who needs to be told not to use their hair dryer in the tub?

Yea, most of us have common sense, but the government had some people in mind when they started demanding warning labels on everything.

People from other countries and even other states probably aren't scared of muddy water since they just aren't used to alligators. It happens. Usually, liberals are doing everything they can to save people from themselves.

Shit will always happen no matter what. I think warning labels should be for those times when a danger is unusual and maybe alligators in a manmade pond in front of a family hotel would be one of those times. The sign said 'no swimming' and technically, the kid wasn't. If the sign had warned that alligators are in the water, do you think parents would have kept their children away from the edge of the water? After all, gators can come out of the water.

Doesn't happen often, you say, so no need. There is a sign on the highway just north of us that warns of the danger of falling rocks. Hasn't happened here in over 75 years, but hey, the warning signs are there.

Not the government, the attorneys. I bought a cup holder for my bike, It had two small bolts and one larger chrome "wing nut". It came with two pages of instructions and over a DOZEN warnings, cautions, and danger indicators highlighted in bold, red rectangle. A CUP HOLDER!

It takes one idiot to misuse something and it ends up with warning labels. Sometimes, you just laugh even though you realize that somewhere out there is a person who needs warnings to stop them from doing something stupid. If a person thinks lemon-scented Mr. Clean is a beverage, the company is in big trouble. Can't count on common sense anymore.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Yes, I believe there were signs, no swimming and an alligator warning.

But to me putting up signs is just a way that a company covers their asses. Some day walk around and count how many signs there are. It is amazing.

thats what i think i heard, they could of at least put a fence in the water like they do in some beaches in austrailia to keep the box jelly fish out

There are fences in the water not far from this beach Google Maps

I don't see what looks like a fence at the beaches.

they did a story on this on some cable network, they were reviewing the top 10, deadliest creatures on earth....box jelly was within the top 5,,they focused on this beach where they had this barrier, maybe 50/75 feet into the water? it was to keep the jelly fish out so that the tourists/locals could go swimming,,,,it was like putting the great wall of china in the beach.

Jellyfish cannot climb a fence.

yes they can. but only if there is a very hot female jelly fish hanging out at the top of the fence, and with big boobs.

What part of "No swimming" did they not understand?

swim·ming
ˈswimiNG/
noun

1. the sport or activity of propelling oneself through water using the limbs.

Clearly the 2 year old wasn't swimming.

The point is "No Swimming" means different things to different people.To you and me it means don't go in the water, but we understand Florida wildlife. Other people take it as you can wade in the water and walk a few feet inside. The sign is not descriptive enough.

Agreed. It makes me laugh to see the warning on a sunshade "Remove before driving". Seriously? Just how fucking stupid have Democrats become?

[charwin95]

The parents should be jailed for child neglect don't you think?

For having their kids on a beach at Disney? These parents were trying to give their children the best, and were raped by Disney's lack of care

Exactly.

Why do you think there were no swimming signs posted? Do you think they were just there to quash the dreams of little children?

The sign NO SWIMMING is not good enough. I can still play by the edge of the water or the shallow part where father and son was playing. They didn't go swimming. And for sure they did not ignore the sign because they didn't go swimming.

 

[Freewill]

can we agree on Disney created a place where the interaction between alligators and man was going to happen?

Can we agree that a sign saying alligators is about the same as a sign that says deer crossing?

Can we agree that when checking in Disney has just a tadbit of responsibility to inform people that no matter how magical is the kingdom there can be things that can and will hurt them, and the behavior that people should practice?

Can we agree that a family from Nebraska isn't going to know alligators like people from Georgia?

Now the question is, since this is such an isolated incident, is there anything that needs done?

I say that as with most things education is enough.

I don't think that the swimming part is an issue. The alligator could have just as easily snatched the child from the edge of the water.

For people like you and me who live here in Florida the sign is adequate. But for tourist that never seen a gator in wildlife except at the zoo. Do you think tourist even understand NO SWIMMING mean? Yes no swimming but I can still go to the water. Correct? Sign is not adequate.

Only for fucking idiots. I'm glad that gator make lunch out of that boy. Evolution, for the win.

Agree but for some reason ............ EVEN people here that claimed they live in Florida don't even understand what NO SWIMMING mean................. Oh that's good enough. Try to telling that to a tourist.

 

[charwin95]

Dude this just show that you are ignorant.
MillionS of people are not aware that gators exist in Florida. Millions of people are not aware that some states gators don't exist. Like Nebraska.
There are part of this world that gator don't exist........... So if people goes to visit the happiest place on earth....... Do you think they understand what *No Swimming* means? Father and son complied with the warning sign. They did not go swimming. Idiot.

Last year there are 9 alligator bites and one fatality here in Florida. These are local Floridians.

Dude, millions of people are behind the IQ bell curve. You can play games with the wording of "no swimming" all you like, but it will only result in stupidity like this:

For the life of me I can't understand the argument, "But everyone knows alligators are in Florida and in every body of water". Why is it to so hard for some to understand the entire world isn't intimately familiar with Florida wildlife - especially people coming from different parts of the world to visit the Magic Kingdom and Mickey Mouse. Mind boggling.
