Why bother?

[4est_4est_Gump]

I don't know for sure, but I imagine they make an attempt to remove the body from the water.

I think the larger issue is that the bridge is a major tourist attraction. I don't think the area wants tourists seeing people jumping from the bridge.

Where the hell do they want to see them jumping from?

Do we put nets everywhere for a tiny minority of the population as long as guns and poisons are so readily available?

 

[doubleover]

I do get your point.

I also understand that all we ever hear from your point of view is "the crumbling infrastructure" and the need for more taxes.

What in the hell is the cost of maintaining a net?

Or, if it saves JUST ONE LIFE...



Is that then a justifiable reason to raise taxes yet again when we know that within just a few years of weather that we're going to be crying about the crumbling social safety net under the bridge?

All liberals want a safety net.

I don't know the city that well, only been there once. You tell me where they would jump from?

A tiny minority just screwed the Redskins.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

That's ascription.

It might be better for the economy of the area to put up the net. That would be saving the taxpayers money.

Really?

Would they just not cost the same amount of money throwing themselves in front of one of those famous rail cars?

Just the fire department and a hose?

You know, sometimes I am ashamed of being 50% injun, and 100% Atheist Libertarian...



... the people it attracts.

Rail cars have brakes.

The top of Candlestick Park?

You cannot order life on the antics of those who love it not.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Rail cars have brakes.

Yeah, and they stop on a dime.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yeah, and they stop on a dime.

Why don't you test your lie-pothesis out and get back to us wif the results.

Gates are locked.

That's more ascription.

All liberals want a safety net.

All people with common fucking sense want a safety net.

76 million. If someone wants to kill themselves they will just go somewhere else or do it some other way. Just a waste of money.

Perhaps, I'm willing to risk it though.

 

[loveupskirt]

Of course you are! After all, it's only other peoples money! Even if we had an extra $70+ million, seems it might be more use full in mental health services and suicide crisis lines, but what the hell, it Might work!

 

[RobDownSouth]

1400 people have died jumping off the Golden Gate bridge.

That's more than Vetteman's first tour body count in the 'Nam!!

Research says no.

Exactly right.

Can you imagine how many phone lines that would pay for?

Remember when a million dollars was real money?

 

[Que]

Big of you to risk tax payer money.

 

[Que]

Rail cars have brakes.

So, THAT is why no one is hit by a train! Always wondered about that, they look so big and heavy.

 

[jeninflorida]

Maybe they could pay for it with a toll on pedestrians.

maybe this can be the one thing you are successful at...suicide?

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

So, THAT is why no one is hit by a train! Always wondered about that, they look so big and heavy.

No one was discussing trains.

 

[Que]

No one was discussing trains.

What do they call those things you hook box-cars up to in order to make them move?

Start a thread on ferroequinologists if you'd like to discuss that.

 

[Que]

Start a thread on ferroequinologists if you'd like to discuss that.

You are the one that brought up the brakes on trains.

So...how MANY dimes can you squish together on the track before the train comes to a rest?
