[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Disney knew there was a chance of gators being there and knew that, if they put a sign up warning of that, people would not want to stay there.  I wouldn't.[/quote]

That's asinine. [/quote]

Really?  See the 12:17 post about marketing vs legal.  That is what I am talking about.

"No swimming, steep drop off" does not say to me, "An alligator may come up and snatch your child if he is dipping his toes in the water 12" away from the sand."  [/quote]

To me (and I think most people with half a working brain) the signs mean "stay out of the water due to various risks."

Those risk could be a number of things:
- drowning
- gators or other wildlife
- bacteria, brain eating amoeba, chemicals, etc
- sharp rocks
- etc
- or all of the above

Most people don't need it to be itemized. They see a sign like that, and they know to stay out of the water. It doesn't look like play-able water to begin with, but the signs reinforce that. It's basic common sense.

There is a huge difference between a "keep out" sign and a "no swimming, deep water" sign. Again, you must be a troll.

How dare someone suggest that one use common sense instead of needing everything itemized and literalized - they must be a troll! [/quote]

Do you know the difference between "no swimming" and "keep out?" Do you even know what "swimming" means?  Your definition of no swimming is a hell of a lot more inclusive than what it really means.

The beach near my house has a sign that says no swimming. If I decide to lay my towel, or walk along the edge of the water and I get snatched by a killer whale, then I should have known it would was a possibility b/c of a no swimming sign? B**** please.
