TITANIC SUB

This makes no sense. If there is another rescue sub available & ready to go, why not?
How can the US veto this move that doesn't bring it to the US proper, our airspace or waters?

That story makes it sound like the U.S. is refusing to help in the deployment of a rescue asset. My understanding is that Magellan is requesting a specific type of aircraft to airlift the rescue vessel. It may be a matter of the U.S. having one that can be committed to this operation. I don't have all the details.

I'm claustrophobic, so that's probably a NO from me too.

Not for me.

I don't think it's going to be a good finish.

Do politics have to intrude in everything? I swear, if I posted a video of tiny kittens & giant dogs, some of you sons of bitches would find a way to turn it political. Jeez.

Cats are for liberals.

Affirmative action kills...



The CEO of missing Titanic tourism submarine OceanGate, Stockton Rush, told media that the company did not want any experienced “50-year-old white guys” because they weren’t “inspirational.”

During an interview before the submarine entered the ocean to the Titanic wreck, Rush said, “When I started a business, one of the things you’ll is that there are other sub operators out there, but they typically have gentleman who are ex-military, and you see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys.”

“I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational,” Rush continued.

Just to make sure you understand, I'll repeat. "The wrong people are on that sub. Biden, Schumer and maybe Pelosi need to be on it."

You’ve got mouth breathers who can only do, or think, about one thing. Anything more than one taxes their bird brains too much. Can you imagine trying to carry on an intelligent conversation with some of these chowderheads?

If you are directing that at me, let me make sure you understand what I said. I'll repeat it to help you- "The wrong people are on that sub. Biden, Schumer and maybe Pelosi need to be on it."

We understood you the first time, and tried to ignore you, but you didn't take the hint. I'll be blunt so you can understand me the first & only time I'll say this - We don't need your fucking help to understand what you said.. Your reply added nothing to the conversation. Your reply reflects poorly on you. The decline in the number of participants on this board can be directly attributed to you & few others. Not everyone lives eats & breathes politics. And yes, my post was directed at you, but it can also apply to others on various other threads. Take the hint, get a fucking life.

Clean your trash mouth up. You have about as much class as a chicken eating it's own droppings.

Let me be even more blunt.
You said you had tried to ignore me. In this rant, you admitted you had directed your remarks at me.
How can it be both? It can't be. You lied.
Give me one name of one person I have caused to leave here. You can't because they don't exist. You lied again.
I see a pattern and I'm sure that people who know you see the same pattern every day.

Having said that, If I could convince YOU to leave, the board would be a better place. I would deserve a medal.
If I see one post of yours directed at me that I think is inappropriate, I will unload on you in language you can understand. Try me.

Right now we should be focused on hoping those people can be saved.

No matter their financial status or political affiliation.

I apologize to the members of this board for my intemperate language. However, I stand by the reason why I used it & the gist of what I said.
