My second husband and I had a big garden tub in the house we lived in.  When we divorced I moved away.  Damn I miss that tub.

Hey it is coed and cloths optional   Most of us just go skinny dipping in them.   and when the sun shins down on them the water is nice and warm.   they are above ground stock tanks of black polymers so it is wonderful.  I want to get one   a 8'x3' deep one is someting like $300   lots cheaper and easier to maintain than a pool

Lashra........send all the bathtubs to a base outside the USA where bathtub rights don't apply..........then its time to get out the non-non abrasive cleaners and the tarnish-dat-chrome-kwik out.........make sure the international community don't get wind of it though, as many countries have significent bathtub populations which could create trouble. Those countries that are the home to the world populations of shower-cublicles will no doubt look on and say smug things like, those bathtubs just aren't civilised...........er....am i getting carried away here with an extended metaphor?

I would go hard core and threaten them with bleach.

By all that is holy in bathing luxury I am with you! I have been threatening to declare war on my bathtub for 5 years.

Bought this house when it was only two years old. It is not a big house, it was less than half finished, the people that began building lost it and the bank auctioned the farm off. Many rooms were unfinished, didn't even have a porch or real steps going up to the door to get in, just wobbly concrete blocks stacked up.

The bathroom however was finished, but BADLY. Why do I say this you might ask??? WELL, how many of you suffer the pathetic excuse of the delightful invention of the fibreglass tubshower disaster?? Most of the time a shower is preferred, but when I am sick with a fever, miserable with female cramp issues, cold all the way thru from working outside in crappy weather I want a nice long hot soak before bed. Now, I am not a large woman. Five foot six inches if I stand nice and straight, not skinny but I don't get stuck in lawn furniture when I try to stand up either. I can polish my toe nails and tie my shoe laces with ease. YET, there is NO WAY I can sink down into that pathetic excuse of a bathtub, up to my neck in blessed heat. Unless of course my legs are sticking clear up and out of the water at the other end. Not acceptable at all!!! It's time to rip that worthless powderblue motherfucker OUT I say! A shower should be a shower and a tub a TUB dammit!

LOL, ummmm, sorry to break up the bathtub humor. But in order to make this a valid comparison. You'd have to compare the number of encounters we have with bathtubs versus the encounters we have with terrorists and the resulting death toll.

So, if half the american population has a bathtub or shower/bathtub(assuming half just have a shower probably the bathtub count should be higher but just low-balling it) and they use it once a day. Then that is 150 million times 365 days a year worth of people versus bathtub encounters, would need the auctual number of people killed in the US by bathtubs to formulate a death rate / encounter tally for bathtubs.

Now in order for any of this to be relevant we would need the number of deaths ratio / encounter with a terrorist. Undoubtedly it will dramaticly higher.

It's useless to compare a terrorist which thankfully very few of us have been in contact with to a object most of us comes into contact with everyday.

There is no point to the OP without comparing the number of interactions.

I understand the humor but some probably actually take these comparisons seriously, like they mean anything.  It's pure numbers manipulation.

Same thing with deer, hunters or people in rural areas encounter deers weekly. If there were as many terrorists as deer to encounter here, then we'd be fucked.

Just because there are relatively few terrorists compared to bathtubs or deer, and the vast majority of which reside in the middle east doesn't infer they aren't a threat if left to there own devices and not checked.

Very funny though that anyone would think such a comparison is valid. Even funnier than the humor of comparing bathtubs to terrorists.

Okay.  Seriously, if someone believes that bathtubs should be treated as terrorists, they're not reading this thread, mostly because they have an IQ of 3, and got hit by a parked car. 

Then again, the smile in your pic tells me all about your sense of humour........

No shit dude!! The deer that had the audacity to run into the front end of my car two weeks ago. I say we hunt that motherfucker down, and ALL of her relatives, her first born son too.....for good measure.

NG always post this kind of stuff, the presumption is that the terrorist threat isn't really a threat.
