Look Goon. Stop hijacking threads with your cowardice. No one wants to see you begging and lisping anymore. PM. PM. Get to it. Lets see what you are made out of. So far, nothing but pussy.

It's you that persists in threatening members- but you won't tell anybody where you are. So stand up or be silent. It's a simple enough request.

You've posed enough in this thread already anyway.

Nice way of trying to cover your cowardice Goon. As usual, you failed miserably. Pathetic wimpy fuck.

I have been called some awful names by people for saying this in the real world, but I don't find a baby's death by accident (or any other reason) any more sad than a miserable 89 year old drunk chain smoking cancer patient with three weeks left to live dying in the same or similar cause. Death is what it is. Maybe it is because I have been around it my whole life; maybe it is because I have no uterus; or maybe it is as one person said I clearly have no soul. Don't know.

Well, we all know you have no soul so it's not that. lol

For most of us though I guess the passing of a child is more tragic because of the lost opportunity to live long enough to be a 89 yo drunk chain smoking cancer patient. I bet there are exactly 3 of those in the world right now, lol.

One of my hospice guys (I am a hospice volunteer) is 99 years old. He has a nightly beer plus a shot or two of a good brandy. He wants his food slathered with butter, and I mean *slathered.* Yet his mind is still sharp, he speaks two languages fluently and two others passably. He lost his beloved wife four years ago; their marriage lasted longer than you and I have been on Earth. He's trying to teach me some Estonian; I'm trying to teach him some Ojibwe. Neither one of us remember what we learned from one visit to the next, without prompting. He's awesome.

Not worn.
Under the seats.
If obese hillbillies had to wear life jackets Ride The Ducks couldn't fit 31 aboard.

Geeze. WTF is wrong with you guys tonight? Not everyone who visits Branson is a redneck or hillbilly -- but fucking what if they were? Do you really want to be like the Reichtards here who wish death on libruls because of who we vote for/are?

I've been on many different types of tourist and commercial water vehicles -- sailboats, commercial fishing boats, tour boats from Alaska to Florida. Not a single one has ever required the passengers to wear life jackets, nor does the Coast Guard require that. They *ARE* required to instruct the passengers before the boat leaves dock where to find them -- as you said, often under the seats, but just as often stored in lockers well-marked by CG regs. Just like when boarding a jet, smart ppl pay attention to the safety briefings, mark the exits, and know where the flotation devices are. I'm pretty sure though that no one on a calm lake like Table Rock thought this type of disaster would happen.

I find making value judgments over the inherent value of strangers' lives ultimately leads to less opportunities to live to be 89 yo drunk chain smoking cancer patients. It is a slippery slope that has resulted in millions of deaths throughout history.

Hey I didn't force those bloated rednecks into a death trap without life preservers or even asked if they can swim

Blacks drown at a rate more than five times that of whites

Why can't these stupid low iq fools learn to swim?

There is this thing about you that makes me want to have your baby, then bite your head off after we make the baby. lol

Yes, and anyone who’s ever been caught on the water in some of the microbursts that occur in our part of the world understands how this could happen. Life jackets are there (I’ve been on these rides) but are hard to get to. Nearly impossible in the case of a roll over. The drivers are also in constant contact with someone monitoring the weather. Again, these storms roll up suddenly. I wasn’t there so I will not speculate on what should have been done?

Those damn boats should be outlawed. They are an 80 year old design never intended for that purpose and the addition of the canopies makes them deathtraps in the event of a swamping or roll over.
