How many Rolf Harris victims does it take to change a light bulb? 50. Three to do it now and then 47 to do it thirty years later when it is more profitable.

Backyard swimming pools should be bannedWith drowning in backyard pools accounting for so many child deaths in Australia, is it time to ban backyard pools? Jo Abi says yes.Drowning is one of the leading cause of death in children under five with majority of those deaths occurring in backyard pools. So why haven’t backyard pools been banned? If any other product or activity caused so many injuries and deaths in our most vulnerable they would be banned, there would be lawsuits, there would be outrage. Except backyard pools are an intrinsic part of Australian culture, and it’s costing us children’s lives.According to Kidsafe, an average of two Australian children drown each week. Most are under 5 years of age and more than half drown in backyard pools. “The children at greatest risk are toddlers, aged 1-3, and for them drowning is the single most common cause of death”. This statistic doesn’t account for the number of near drownings, many of which result in brain injuries.Westmead Children’s Hospital confirms that in NSW alone, from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011, 12 children under five died from drowning and a further 64 were admitted to hospital for near drowning. “Children under five years of age have the highest mortality rate out of any age group, with approximately 50% of drowning deaths occurring in swimming pools.”Backyard pools need to be banned. They are way too dangerous. It doesn’t matter if you have a pool fence, locks on your back door, are super vigilant, have children who can swim. Drowning deaths and backyard pool related injuries are too frequent for us to ignore.
Jesus died on the cross to show us that BDSM is a legitimate form of love.
There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.
You need to read the article for full effect. It reads like a parody of gun-control advocates criticizing gun availability.I wonder how many deaths cigarettes cause per year in Australia.

That cigarette problem could be easily solved if they just made them illegal then nobody would be able to get them

I wish I had a backyard pool to ban.

They look like too much work for me here in Connecticut you only get about 4 months a year to use them. When I was a kid in Florida the apartment complex I lived in had two pools one they kept heated in the winter and I swam almost every day
