    It seems like the real solution to the retention pond problem isn’t skipping electronic door locks, it’s STAYING OUT OF RETENTION PONDS

    The premise of this logic is wholesale problematic.

    You can use the same logic and say:

    The real solution to seat belts is to just not wreck your car

    The real solution to stair rails is to just not fall down stairs

    The real solution to fire alarms is to just not light your building on fire

    …etc

    Same reasoning/logical framework applied to different problem areas.

      You’re right, electronic door locks and windows should be banned, because a handful of people couldn’t drive well enough to avoid going in a pond.

        Ah, a good old strawman, when reasonable discussion just isn’t possible.

        I said none of that, but please go on.

          Dude, YOU are the one making a Federal case out of a 30 year old humorous personal marital anecdote. Check yourself, it was a fucking joke. I’ll bet you’re a blast at parties.

            And you’re the one who is incapable of reasonable, calm, discussion and resorts to insults like a petulant child instead of conversation like a functional adult.

            Not a good look my dude.
