[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Thank you, to my other lawyer friends who are helping to explain how the law, which has evolved over centuries, based on notions of fairness and common sense (yes! For real!), works here. Hotels, especially a hotel with a reputation like Disney's, cannot invite guests to movie-set looking beaches at night where the hotel knows there are alligators, throw up a "no swimming" sign, look the other way when children are near/in the water every night, and then claim people should know there are probably alligators (flesh eating bacteria, snakes, and other deadly hazards people have mentioned) when someone dies. If this family were at a campground, the Darwinian crazies on here would win, but they weren't. These are not new concepts or just differences of opinion. This is how developed society has decided, through the law, to treat these situations. [/quote]

1+, Thank you.  Can people who are not lawyers stop penning would-be treatises of the law?  Offer opinions, yes, but legal opinions?  This is 82 pages of ridiculousness.[/quote]

This thread is about liability. That's a legal concept. Uninformed drivel about whose fault it is in your own mind, but not in reality (where these things are decided or settled under the law) is not really interesting, persuasive, and doesn't have much place. I just feel like I'm trapped in a conversation I once had with my idiot brother-in-law who told me that when you drive a car you accept all the risks that that activity presents, including that the car just explodes while you're driving, and the manufacturer would not be at fault because driving a car is a risky activity. Exhausting. [/quote]
