Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not really. That ladder is in no danger of falling the way it is tied off at the top and slanted at the bottom.

Only if the top is braced against the ceiling.  If there is a gap between the top of the ladder and the ceiling, it can twist off to the side.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

Not with both sides of the ladder tied off at the top.

If it isn't braced against the ceiling, it could twist the way that @Hoodat describes, for the simple reason that the tie-offs at the top appear to be rope or some other nonrigid material that can only resist tension, not compression.  If the individual puts too much of his weight on one side of the ladder, that will cause a torque force on the ladder which will cause the other side of the ladder to relax the tension on the rope tied to that side, and the entire thing could twist around, throwing this guy to the ground.

Not with the way both sides are tied off so close to the man and the ladder.

Not with the pinched nerves in my back. I have to walk up the steps to my house one step at a time now.

If I were still in my 20's,I wouldn't have a problem with it,though.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
