cvfd1399 0 #60 April 2, 2015 Yeah alot of people get killed in the US by guns, more than anyone else in the world its how its going to be when there have been millions of guns here forever. You keep trying to compare apples to burnt toast. If a country has a disproportionally large number of open sink holes than any other country you would naturally expect that country to have more people injured, accidentally fall to their death or be murdered by being pushed into said sink holes. You cant compare numbers because America the fucking GREAT does not = Germany when it comes to guns, you had yours taken away in the 40's(you know why) and recently had them returned in SMALLLLL numbers.

Agreed. And if you had a large, well-funded political organization with a pro-sinkhole agenda that spent millions opposing sinkhole research, denying that there is a problem with them, and opposing fencing around sinkholes - there would be even more people injured or killed by them. But at least no one's sinkhole rights would be infringed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But at least no one's sinkhole rights would be infringed. So pass a law banning sinkholes and there will never be another one. There is legislation being drafted to stop any more holes from forming in Yamal. Which will put an end to that. Can you believe that nobody has found a regulation of statute that specifically bans a German pilot from killing passengers in France? If only such a law existed this never would have happened.

Where do people get this strange idea that the only rights you have are those written in the Constitution? True. Many argue that the Bible also gives rights. One of the nice things about a written Constitution is that it actually spells out specifics. But in the US, states can give rights Feds don't (ie California gives an explicit right to privacy where the Federal Constitution does not). Statutes give rights (ie Voting Rights Act). I haven't found a right to a sinkhole anywhere. Though I have driven in places where potholes were seemingly the best government guarantee My wife is hotter than your wife.
