I thought it was pretty obvious that his friends and family made those comments to help reasure themselves of a safe return and not to have you analyze their suffering but whatever, As long as it makes you feel smarter to criticise a family in distress, and make no meaningful point in the process good for you.

Umm, I don't care how stressed out you are, it's still nonsensical. Maybe the media shouldn't have reported it, but they still shouldn't have said it. It does make them look like idiots. They could easily reassure themselves of that by more sensical means.

Also, there's nothing wrong with criticizing people in distress. Anyone on the public stage, regardless of situation, is open to criticism. It's fair game, get over it. Your moral high horse is purely concocted.

You have not presented a reason why I'm a "fucking idiot" and have merely spouted off some ridiculous nationalistic drivel about your being some fucking maritime dude. I don't know much about the industry itself, but I certainly know a hell of a lot about what it's like to be at sea, and I boat a lot and understand the rigors and problems associated with it. How "dare I" do this? Maybe because it's true and makes sense and I have freedom of speech? How's that for a reason?

[efletch91]

Why should I be all of a sudden just respectful of all types of idiotic babble that people say? That's ridiculous. I don't smoke pot, and I don't know why you think I do, so that's just an unfounded claim.

Basically your entire diatribe is merely angry hogwash with no substance.

I think they mean it'll keep him mentally healthy if he survives? still sounds stupid but they're kind of a scared / grieving family at the time

[gtq838]

my point still stands, they made the statement in distress it obviously wasn't meant to be taken literally. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT, except you apparently.

But you make a six minute video, of mostly mumbling about how it didn't make sense.

whats your point?

That the family is stupid?

Even if they are stupid who gives a shit?

That has nothing to do with the bigger story of the pirates. I sure you would be apposed to the US using its evil soldiers to help, you sir really are crazy
