Nowhere to sit, with a broken cruise control...

Yes I know the BG music is horrible The mixing levels were too high and I used too much phase on the original track. We live and learn. Now can everyone please stick to the topic?

Part 5 of my Critical Analysis video will be ready by the middle of the next week.

This is a response to a user by the name of nowheretosit, who doesn't seem to get that the safety of people at sea is not the responsibility of a passenger... But the crew, and most especially, the Captain entrusted to command a ship on the ocean.

He also thinks that expecting to be able to choose a cruise operator and expect safety standards to be met is somehow a "legislation issue" and "if you expect the government to do everything for you then you have no personal freedoms at all"...

I point out why this line of reasoning is absolutely ludicrous.

@LazFire91 Too late. I've already deleted the project files to make room on my HD.

any discussion of Ron Paul in the context of foreign maritime disasters and maritime law is off topic trolling.

@AtheistCitizen I think any discussion of government legislation vs education in the face of maritime disasters and maritime law is off-topic trolling, but I imagine those paultards and their supporters disagree.

When people are very... lets call it concerned... with a topic, they start applying that to anything. Even something only very tangentially related. If someone spends a lot of time thinking about, lets say, dolphin safety, they might have responded with "Oh, they care about humans, but not the poor dolphins getting killed by the ship screws!"

Of course, it helps if the person is also an idiot, and needs to post the first thing that comes to their mind.

@FSAthe1st No, I was talking about the guy you were replying to. He's an embarrassment to libertarianism. He make the sane ones look bad. I know you're not libertarian.

@proximoto "I think the idea that any captain "must go down with the ship" runs counter to self preservation."

Yes, but no-one is saying that a Captain committing suicide is a mandate of the job... Only that he remain on board until the last possible moment rather than be a pussy and jump off ship at the earliest convenience and then refuse to get back on the ship afterward.

"Most of us would jump ship, regardless of our title."

Which is why most of us should never have that responsibility.

@FSAthe1st Understood; I was just ranting a little.

@FSAthe1st As I said, the "supeficial" aspect I pointed out made it a chore to actually listen to your points. Ive seen alot of people talking about this topic, not just on here, and all I have to say is the captain was wrong taking the boat where it's almost guaranteed to wreck and endangering the lives of the passengers. I think the idea that any captain "must go down with the ship" runs counter to self preservation. Most of us would jump ship, regardless of our title.
