    Wezil, I usually consider you pretty sane - why do you want that I should drop that thought ?
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          There are absolutely no reason that you shoud give a rats ass

            That's what I figured, but since my gives-a-damn hasn't got back from the repair shop yet, I figured I should check just in case.

              Well, the chick isn't just a noob and there was actually a pretty low chance that she should encounter the storm that she met - is that silly ?

                Silly? No. I just don't see any reason why I should care if she lives or dies.

                  It is obviously frivolous thrill seeking. That's what I would object to paying for.

                    No, what whe did isn't in any way silly - yeah, she is young, but as far as I can find out, she is actually quite capable - most sailors would have some kind of problems with what she met,

                    Are you saying that any kind of "non profit" sailing should be banned ?

                    Honestly, you may see some aggreviances from here

                    • Where did I say it should be banned?

                      Go ahead and sail to your heart's content.

                        Well, I must admit that you haven't said such, just packed you up with the rest of the bad guys that just want to kill of such, Sorry

                            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.

                            • 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.
