[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in our neighborhood have been swimming in this filthy run off creek since the pool is closed. I can’t imagine this is better for public health than swimming in a pool with a lifeguard.[/quote]

....and someone on here thought parents would be able to control their kids at the pool and keep a distance from other kids. ([b]"Why aren't we trusting that adults supervising children at a pool can make sure their kids are following the rules?")[/b]

You have to govern to the lowest level of stupid. Hence the slow phased approach. [/quote]

If they aren’t going to be supervised, I would rather they be unsupervised swimming in a chlorinated pool with lifeguards. Kids are going to drown, get bacterial infections, etc. swimming in dirty water.[/quote]

You are missing the point. In both scenarios the parents are acting irresponsible.[/quote]

Um, have you seen some people's kids at restaurants, stores and malls? They don't supervise them at all. Do you think parents out to eat or shop with their kids are somehow more responsible than those who would go to a pool? Yet we are letting that happen. Irresponsible parents will be irresponsible at pools, stores, restaurants, whereever. [/quote]

So we are basically just saying people are irresponsible everywhere so also let them be irresponsible at a pool and/or a dirty creek. Got it. Kick it down the curb. Makes sense. [/quote]

No, what YOU are saying makes no sense. You are singling out pools as a place that should stay closed because some people are irresponsible. Meanwhile it's ok for other places where some people are irresponsible to open. If a place is not safe due to some people being irresponsible, it's not safe. So why open some of those places and not others?  [/quote]

Got it. YOU win. Now go print this out and show your family. Stick it on the fridge with a gold star.
