Repairing broken slats in an existing fence is not the same as building a new fence but in your world there is no distinction.
Obama has had to repair the fence that Bush and the republicans bulldozed down BUT he has to fix it one slat at a time.
I don’t know how much simpler I can make it for you unless I start speaking in baby talk…and I ain’t going there!

If people like you didn’t go around telling other stupid people that the government is just trying to keep you from having fun or making money instead of the REAL reason that there are regulations then there would not be so many people on disability.
Those people in the video do not just look bad, they have all sorts of auto-immune or neuro-muscular disorders afterwards.
You are all just childish and immature and gonna show daddy that you are not going to listen when he tells you that something is dangerous because you think you know better. Same with anti-vaxxers, except they don’t just kill themselves and their own kids, they kill other people’s kids.
The regulations are there to protect us from stupid people and to protect stupid people from themselves.

LOL LOL LOL, first, show me ONE place where I said what you claimed I said, just one.
Second, so people are on disability because of lack of regulations?
You didn’t address the what she did was already illegal… could you plz write a regulation that you think would have made this situation better?
Candide Thirtythree January 12th, 2015 at 22:17
Getting rid of regulations is what caused the great depression and collapse of the whole world’s economy caused by Bush.
You can bray like a jackass because you are too stupid to understand anything we are telling you. We have all told you the reasons and still here you are making a fool of yourself on the internet. If your IQ were anywhere over 70, maybe we could make you understand why there has to be regulations.
One more time, but I still doubt you are capable of understanding.
Stupid people like you LIE about the reasons for regulations so other stupid people think that there really is no harm in doing what they want to do since they have been convinced that the ONLY reason for regulations is to keep them from your mythical, magical, never has and never will exist FREEDUMB!
If they understood that the reasons for regulations were because this shite is dangerous, and not just to keep them from having fun, then they would not be in such a hurry to poke a stick in Uncle Sam’s eye and kill themselves in the process.
Stop LYING and shove your FREEDUMB where the sun doesn’t shine.

My, what a friendly person you come across as. Please bear in mind that when you move out when you become of age, your parents won’t be able to protect you as they do now. Just some advice. And after all your fluff/insults and ranting, I noticed you still didn’t:
“show me ONE place where I said what you claimed I said, just one.”
And I now add to that question which you avoided, this one:
Can you show me one time I lied about any regulation?
No, you won’t so let’s try this:
Sticking to the article’s topic, since what was done is already illegal, how would you regulate it to protect her or as you so arrogantly claim a regulation is for, protect stupid people from this happening again?
Did you get the gist of the above question… it is already illegal what was done.

I am retired and being one of the educated elite has served me well, you on the other hand have a mental deficiency that you will never overcome, it is called conservatism.
I have explained it to you several times and you still can’t grasp it, you never will, you will never be one of the educated, one of the intelligent so why are you stressing yourself by trying to understand concepts that your mind is not developed enough to understand? Crawl back in your cave and chant, “The Gubmint is da boogyman” over and over until you pass out.

And no, you haven’t explained anything, you refuse to because you can’t.
Show me where you explained how you would word a regulation pertaining to the topic of the article that would make ‘it safe’ seeing as how it is already illegal.
Cut with the lies and the insults, try being polite and answer the question.
