Anonymous Coward User ID: 83964553 United States 08/12/2022 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’m definitely not a fan of more regulations, but who’s idea was it anyway to make the top of these umbrellas pointy?? Common sense would tell anyone who gave a rat’s ass about people that something that can go flying because of the wind (I mean, come on, it’s the beach, a notoriously windy location!) should have some kind of mushroom-shaped cap on the top so as not to injure anyone. Even the bottom doesn’t need a point; it going into SAND, for crying out loud. Dig a hole for it with a little spade, put it in and backfill - done, and nobody gets hurt if it gets loose. People really don’t care about each other. That’s why there are so many regulations now, as thoughtlessness and stupidity rules the day. At one time, you used to be able to have a nice fire on the beach, but so many people left hot coals just under the sand for others to burn their feet on that it had to stop. Same with glass bottles, people would break them and not clean the pieces up. Every time people act without thinking, they invite big government to step in and do their thinking for them. Irresponsible behavior, born out of lack of love and concern for others, has led to most of the restrictions we labor under today. |

I have already losted too many. Ariables for most people to comprehend without given foreknowledge I love it when they start piling up things around it like a beach bag and some towels, to help hold it down, usually after it has already blown down the beach and they stick it back in the sand the exact same way Of course if it is a couple hot chicks i show them how to bury a pole properly Malu |
