[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are signs in the Lake that says "no swimming"[/quote]

Yup. And they're spaced pretty closely apart - like 20 feet? You can see 2 signs in this picture.

Again folks, that sign does not imply that you: 1) cannot wade in the waters' edge, or 2) there are alligators in the water. [/quote]

[b]On what planet does "steep drop off" mean "ok to wade?" The two are completely correlated. It means no walking into the water, because THERE IS A STEEP DROP OFF. No walking = no wading. How is that not obvious[/b]?!

Not pp, but no. The warning means there are various risks by going into the water.

So you know, don't go into the water. Don't let your kids go into the water. Don't let your kids get too near to the water.

For most people, they don't need itemized detailed descriptions. A warning sign = "hmm, I better keep away due to a variety of possible risks."

Finally, a voice of reason. [/quote]

Agreed. 
I posted earlier that I would think it would be okay to stick your feet in the water if there was a "No Swimming" sign because I wasn't actually swimming, but if I saw this sign, I wouldn't let my two year-old go near the water. [/quote]

Great research here. Your argument works if the child drowned from going into the water. Thats not what happened here. [/quote][/quote]
