  1. Or... the crew is much more likely to die on their way to work than from this situation sinking their ship and destroying their means to escape that sinking ship.

  2. We need a regulation outlawing dying!

    Then we can live forever or face fines :)

  3. LOL - And who sets and enforces these regulations?

    Or did you think we were just talking about one country's ships?

    It really is. Do you have any idea how many ships are out in sea this very second?

  5. 10 out of how many? We are talking about ships sailing everyday all over the world.

    There are more car accidents per second than that.

    I use it for TV shows now since IMDB removed their message boards. It's fun and get to talk about shows with people that enjoy the show (or enjoy bashing it.)

    I must admit, I don't actually check how my posts are modded and most the time just read because I am usually so far behind on a show that the thread has been archived.

    That's insane.

  10. Every full time job I had - even being an usher for Regal Cinemas 20 years ago - gave paid vacation.

  11. You have to compare it to the fact that anyone that has an R by their name usually starts at 10% for black approval.

    It's just the way it was and he is changing that.

    I'm the same way. I don't mind answering emails from home because it usually means that I'll have less time spent in the office or more time to socialize at the office.

    It balances out.

    These companies are no friends of Trump and him agreeing to this will just further upset the left. He should just tell Google and all to go to hell

    The answer is "Sort of...they don't have any inherited or accumulated wealth, so they need jobs to survive.

    But if Amazon under pays and treats their employees like crap, then it should be easy to find a better job for at least equal if not higher pay.

    It was about more than that but maybe you just read the first sentence of the investigation.

    And is this better? Why is a Russian collusion investigation leading to charges of an affair with a pornstar? Or do you see campaign fiance charges that much more serious than perjury?

    The homophobia from the left is amazing. Why do you feel being called a homosexual is an insult?

    You are pretty partisan if you don't see this as a witch hunt. Even Star had more restrictions and limited scope than Muller.

    We gone from collusion (couldn't prove), to obstruction (pretty easy to make a case on obstruction against anyone), to paying a porn star to keep an affair secret.

    Likely if you supported Clinton impeachment and are OK with Trump, you are a piece of shit.

    Then the reverse is true. If you didn't support Clinton's impeachment and support Trumps, you are a piece of shit.

    You have to judge things based on the current bar. They stopped a hack and reported it. The only thing the hackers got was public information
