Mankind learned nothing from the Titanic.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to build a cruise ship that is maybe JUST as big as the Titanic or smaller?  You know, just sayin'.

Am I the only one to find it kind of ridiculous to be going on a cruise on a ship so big that you could be inside a hotel on land for all you know.

It's like the shut-in supernerd version of a vacation spot "What do you mean? 'get outside'? I went on a cruise! On a boat and everything!"

As someone who has literally lived around these things for a few years, I might have a few things to observe:

Cruise lines are cattle vessels, which encourage their userbase to gamble and spend spend spend. 

When dropping off in Victoria, it's usually in less-than-12-hour increments.  And a lot of these folks are fat american'ts.

Also:  A lot of them are larger than the Titanic. 

Some protips: 

Euro cruises which are smaller still beat the trend and go from place to place with enough time to get a good couple days to explore each location. 

Large cruise ships don't.   

For the love of god, do not go anywhere near the horn of Africa, and if you do, go with a British or Norwegian flag.  The captain will be less likely to do something stupid. 

Also, considering how people consider trips to Cuba and Mexico more and more these days..  Inclusive hotel packages without even considering leaving the hotel grounds... 

Lets just say I am starting to think the cruise ship is starting to look smart; but still not close to my type of gig.

I've only been on one once, but it seemed essentially to be a big casino/resort/hotel that you could basically step out of and be on the ocean.  Or step out of and be in Mexico one day, Belize the next.  It kind of beats the hell out of, say, having to step outside of the casino you happen to be staying in and facing the inevitability that the only thing that awaits you outside is traffic and enough heat to literally roast you.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

As long as those bears don't act like a Yao Guai, I'm inclined to just go DAAAWWWW and want to give them a blanket.

In other news: If a former governor and lady-person gives a speech in Milwaukee, does anybody hear it? (here's a hint: NO)

In other words, she's going to spout insane bullshit all evening long and doesn't want it to come back to haunt her future political career (HA!).

She will be making an appearance in Milwaukee on behalf of Wisconsin Right to Life, presumably the anti-capital punishment outfit up there.

That's such an easy jab, but it's still classier than most of what you get from a liberal blog.

I was honestly expecting that to link to something about last month's oatmeal.

As we all know, attacking children is a surefire way to rally people to your cause. (Westboro Baptist psychopaths picket the school of Obama's children)

Quote from: Huffington Post
A message on Westboro's website refers to the Obama children as "satanic spawn" of a "murderous bastard." Along with various schools, the church is also protesting outside the White House, the World War II memorial, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office.

It's not about rallying people to your cause, it's about showing God how big a boner you have for him.

Westboro, eh.  Familiar name.  Skip to ~5min10s, since I can't deep-link embedded videos.

I've heard quite a bit about them.  I don't know exactly what their goal is, but garnering sympathy is not one of them.  I think attention is all they want, so I just ignore them.

The stronger you punch, the better the door. So there are like super strong murderers who punch people into Venetian doors and shit"

I don't think they have a goal.

Often I go to their site or related kind of websites to find out what new brands or products they are boycotting. Often it's stuff like "BOYCOTT PEPSI: THEY GIVE EQUAL RIGHTS TO GAY PEOPLE" which means I should buy more Pepsi products.

WBC, through the closely related Phelps Chartered law firm, has collected fees under the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976 when their protests have been unlawfully disrupted.

So basically the whole thing is about attention/money. WHAT A SURPRISE

For once, I fully agree with the talking heads on Fox News.  This shit is deplorable, shameful, and an affront to God's word.

You americans are Fucking retarded.

Especially considering that you allow Sikh teenagers to carry by law 8-inch knives everywhere they go.

Blue states, sort yourselves out now.

EDIT:  You know it's bad when I can bring a legitimate point of view based off of two different events written by Fox News.
