/sorry

I should be more respectful.

They should have played it safe and had the carnival inside one of these things:

Why would I be a bot?

I’ve been hearing more and more about these accidents. There should be a better way to stabilize and secure these bouncey houses.

We have so many bots now. They just post an article without comments.

Once upon a time, a person had a reason to post an article and gave some comments and insights and direction to the thread.

Now people are lazy.

What do they call it on the insurance claim? Act of God?

Is it time for another wave on non-anchored bouncy castles? We went through this like 10 years in Tucson, every other weekend one was going airborne because apparently the people who run those things don’t know what those ropes and anchors are for.

They’re very easy to stabilize, problem you have is crews paid to get them up fast, down fast, and up somewhere else fast, don’t like putting in the effort.

Most of the articles are posted without comment. And some people are annoyed by the comments, so you can’t win either way. I’ve been around here more than a decade longer than you. I’m not bot.

“What is a “bot?””

A bot is an automated system that posts articles, tweets, recommendations, etc.

Some say that over 30% of tweets are generated by bots.

We have several bots here. One posts articles from a Canadian newspaper.

Bots are also frequenting craigslist.

“Most of the articles are posted without comment. And some people are annoyed by the comments, so you can’t win either way. “

I guess we should do away with all comments on FR since people are annoyed by the comments.

Just post articles. Nevermind, just post the titles to articles since most never read the articles anyway.

It’s just that there are so many newer members that can’t do a simple check of your history because their whole life is centered around taking shots at people. Now I’ve only been around a bit longer than TexasGator but I am very familiar with you and your posts. keep up the posts and to heck with those that don’t like em!!

Everyone should have their own private FR so that they never have to read any annoying comments. That would really solve a lot of issues!

I seriously doubt if any “bots” are posting on FreeRepublic.

I love how the church is offering nothing more than “prayers”. Um, when you failed to anchor this thing safely, you’re now responsible for paying for any medical treatment these kids needed.

It’s a simple matter of anchoring the bounce house and checking the weather report, to see if there will be windy conditions that day. If they can’t take those simple precautions, maybe they should start praying for God to give them a little common sense.

The Russians who were posting weren’t bots, and most of them are probably gone.
