[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are seriously so dense you are arguing against posting proper caution signs, then you are neither nice nor particularly bright. Seriously.

Arguing against the placement of signs warning about gators is crazy. Period. [/quote]

People are not arguing against signage, they are simply pointing out that common sense dictates you don't go in the water in Florida regardless of signage. It's a no brainer whether there is an inviting beach or lounge chairs.

Sometimes you don't need a sign to know something is dangerous or off limits. Plus - there WAS a no swimming sign...[/quote]

It doesn't matter what common sense says. Disney shouldn't have assumed that all the millions of people who visit there from all over the world will have enough common sense to know not to go near the water. Disney should have assumed that there will be some people who visit there who will need to be explicitly warned about the presence of alligators in the water. Whether or not Disney anticipated that someone would ever be attacked by a gator (very rare, obviously) on their property, they DID know that alligators lived in those waters and therefore they should have had a sign notifying visitors to beware of alligators. If they had taken that very simple and no-brainer measure, it is quite likely the toddler would still be alive because his parents would have been extra careful to keep him away from the water if they had known about the presence of alligators. Doesn't matter what you or I or anyone thinks the parents [i]should[/i] have known; it matters that they didn't know and that Disney should have told them.[/quote]
