I've been watching the TV show. In any case, a small boat is no
threat
to a big ship.

Captains Richard Phillips (MV Maersk Alabama) and Kirk Lippold
(USS
Cole) would think otherwise.

You're claiming that the WW boat was intent on holding the Japanese
crew
and cargo hostage?? That's your argument?

Of course not. I was responding specifically to your comment. I
really
don't read all the posts here much anymore .... just skim through
them.
Your comment caught my attention.

Carry on. It's entertaining. Particularly your argument that the WW
boat was "moving slowly".
Have you ever considered the amount of released energy involved when
a
vessel weighing many tons
comes to a stop in time=zero, even at "slow" speeds?

Eisboch

Not sure what the released energy has to do with following
international
law? Perhaps you can clarify.

The cross-eyed girl with the distant stare strikes again.

Why don't you go back to calling me average. It sounds so much more like
the
child you are.

D'Plume. Child, I never have and never will call you "average."

In that case, you can stop calling me cross-eyed, child, or any other name
that's a put-down.

D'Plume, it would help if your posts made a minimal amount of sense.
It is easy to do. Try thinking for a change.


It would help if you could read. Try it for a change. Change (and reading)
can be difficult.

My goodness. You're wasting your time, as you already know.

Arguing with a thinking person of another opinion can be engaging, a
challenge and even inspiring.

You'll find none of that with this dolt.

Thought you'd appreciate a periodic reminder that you needn't bang
your head against a wall.
