The thread about the shipping containers and how to make them less
dangerous to small boat traffic is among the dumbest I've ever read. Now
some total retard is suggesting they all be ballasted so they sink even if
they contain light cargo.

That's the same idiotic mentality the Democrats have with the border. Pass
a comprehensive immigration bill and don't enforce it just like nobody
enforced the last one but, whatever you do, don't bother addressing the
open border issue. The cows are all out of the barn and wandering around
the countryside. Never mind fixing the friggin' barn door.

The same with the shipping container suggestion. How stupid is it to
suggest ways to make them safer when they fall off the ship? That's insane
thinking. Hey, you dumb asses, how about suggesting ways to keep the
damned things on the ship in the first place. Wouldn't it be simple to
count every container loaded on a ship at one port and if a ship arrives
at the next port with fewer than it left with how about a huge fine for
every missing container? How about slapping the captain of the ship in
jail for negligence? Whatever happened to responsibility? How has it come
to be that the captain is no longer responsible for his ship and cargo?

I swear the general population of this country has degenerated into base
imbeciles and fools in the last fifty years. And, it just seems to get
worse and worse. Makes me happy I'm old and lived during times when people
were at least moderately sane. Instead of being distressed to watch the
country going down the toilet I can feel free to just laugh.

Nothing's really changed. There are just more of them (imbeciles).
