16-Year-Old Sailor Feared Lost at Sea

[Thoth]

She's from California. I don't remember, but did she put to sea from California, with California's blessing? If so, looks like another charge-off item on California bankruptcy.

California = America's Quebec.

[MRT144]

California = America's Quebec.

Except it gives more to the States than Quebec does to Canada.

[ColdWizard]

This is merely long range practice for rescue services.

[SlowwHand]

Uh huh.

[MRT144]

Uh huh.

California is a net benefit to the US financially, and you know that. The pay more in taxes to the whole of the US than the get in return. STFU.

As of 2007. Naturally, as the most populated state, they pay more in gross. Note the "per capita" though.

Now STFU.

So you're moving goalposts to Per capita now?

What a weasel. I demand an apology.

[Wezil]

What a weasel. I demand an apology.

Hey!

[SlowwHand]

Go ahead, Wez. He's waiting.

[Wezil]

I'm so tired of this fine animal being maligned in this way.

[SlowwHand]

Maybe if the "fine animal" would apologize when called upon...

[BlackCat]

As long as I see poverty and unacceptable social conditions in my society I will have a problem with my tax dollars being spent plucking rich people from the ocean.

Pluck them out, then send them the bill.

Oh, she is rich well, lets kill her . I don't mind if we save this for anther thread. What6 if she was a poor girl ? still want her blood ?

[Wezil]

*cough*

You're doing it again.

Where did I say we should kill her? I said rescue her. Then send the bill.

Poor girls don't sail across the world in yachts. Sorry.

[BlackCat]

*cough*

Poor girls don't sail across the world in yachts. Sorry.

Sure they do if they want to - I'll hate the day when they dont

[SlowwHand]

Poor girls have a Jon Boat with a trolling motor.

[BlackCat]

Poor girls has the boat that they want if they want it.

[SlowwHand]

If they're a thief?

[Wezil]

Good answer.

Apparently BC has a different standard for "poor" than we do.

[BlackCat]

Nah, I just has another view on "how do I get what I really want". You two guys (Wez/Sloww) apparently think that such is only possible by lying, stealing, robbing etc, - is that due to experience ? Just curious

?? There are other ways to get rich?

[BlackCat]

Probably not, but what has that to do with what you want to do ?

[Wezil]

How would you suggest they go about it?

[Wezil]

Let's say such an endeavour would cost $20K (ridiculously low I suspect).

At a minimum wage job (assuming she can get it) our poor 16 year old girl might scrape enough cash together (if she saved everything she made) by the time she's 20.

**** that doesn't work does it?

[Thoth]

Probably not, but what has that to do with what you want to do ?

Nothing. Which is pretty much what I want to do about this chick.

Yeah, that is impossible, so anyone that attempt such should be prohibited to do such. Even if they in other ways are able to do it, we better have to prevent it - some may teach a lesson

[Ben Kenobi]

Sure, Australia and America giving each other equivalent compensation, but you want responsible people to foot the bill for idiots who can foot it themselves.

Sigh. You don't pay anything. What you get back from Australia is what you pay out.

[Wezil]

Again, such as?

Also again, I'm not prohibiting. I said poor girls aren't sailing around the world.

[BlackCat]

Uhmn, that is actually the problem - too few do that.

[Wezil]

Maybe because they can't afford it?

[Elok]

Yes because sitting in a church and praying to an entitiy nobody has ever been able to see so far is helping the world soooo much better

Okay, I'm not mad, but whereTF did this (and Ming's anti-Catholic remark a few posts later) come from? Religion had nothing to do with what I was saying. I did not argue "Lindy should have been praying in church instead of flying his airplane" or anything. This is totally out of left field.
