Nothing lost, after all, he was a Canadian.




Smithers... you're suprising me.

How in the world did he think that was a funny comment?

Don, sorry to read about the terrible incident.

Smithers... you're suprising me. Why stoop to the level of a Dan, Fritz or
Jack Goff.
At one time you seemed a step above this. Coming out of the closet?

Besides, the 'Canadian' survived his three wounds. His wife, who was born &
raised in the Carolinas, came to Halifax to become a Canadian citizen and
then went back home to help wherever she could.....died leaving her children
motherless.



Don,

Here's another sad story:
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/s...ebe952&k=54450

wow I found another one that is much closer to home, this makes me very
sad because it happened in your city. See you don't even have to look
outside of your city limits to feel sad.

http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Atlantic/070110/t011021A.html

I am really feeling depressed now, all those Canadians dying up above
the US border really makes me depressed.

Why would you want to cut and paste an article about someone you didn't
know, dying in New Orleans (a city you don't live in), when you could
cut and paste 100's even 1000's of other articles about Canadians being
killed by Canadians. All of those people have family members who are
now grieving because they have lost a loved one. What made this one
person more important than all the others who have lost family members
to a violent death. It might make more sense for you to cut and paste
obits and news articles about death to alt.obituaries, than rec.boats.

Some how I find it hard to believe with all of the deaths that occur
every day, that you cut and pasted a news article about a Canadian who
died in N.O. because you felt sorry for the family, and wanted us to
share in your grief and help you through this stressful time. To me it
seemed like a really **** poor troll about guns in America and how
violent America is.

So forgive me if I find it hard to believe that you shared that article
so we can offer the family members our condolences about their lose, see
I thought it you was just you trolling for a political fight.

Smithers will come back and tell you the remark was in jest, but the
reality is, he's the same sort of scume as Dan, Fritz, Goff, and our
latest group of "anonymous" new posters.

I'm beginning to think the newsgroup overlords have conspired a new plan to
rid the newsgroup of the unwashed.
Previously they pretended to take the high road while admonishing anyone who
didn't dance to their tune.
Now just the opposite.
Notice how the behavior of the three leading sheriff/judges has dramatically
dropped .
I think they plan to undercut the worse of the worst.
We'll see if that strategy works.

Speaking of New Orleans reminds me of an email I just received. I'll post
it, not to start a political fight, but because it's an enjoyable read.

*****************

Dateline Denver:

Up here, in the "Mile-Hi City", we just recovered from a Historic event---
may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a
historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that
broke
trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists
in
lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut
power to 10's of thousands.

FYI:

George Bush did not come.

FEMA did nothing.

No one howled for the government.

No one blamed the government.

No one even uttered an expletive on TV.

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.

Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5
snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

No one looted.

Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.

Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo
Rivera.

No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.

Nope, we just melted the snow for water.

Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.

The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a
penny.

Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered
it
to the snowbound families.

Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.

We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.

We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".

We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a
mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes
for
'sittin at home' checks.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this
early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48
degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."

It does seem that way, at least to me.

I hope this gets passed on.

Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a
living.

Just call me obtuse, but we're 3-4 posts into this thread and for the
life of me I can't figure out what the boating, fishing, navigation,
watersport or remotely related angle is. Can't find it in the first
one, or any of the follow-ups. Is this the most appropriate place on
the entire internet for this topic? That would seem pretty unlikely.
Why "waste" it here, when there are groups that would really appreciate
the political opinions, etc? Signed...."Obtuse" :-)

I don't know what prompted Don to post his story. But, his post about New
Orleans reminded me of a message I'd received which was a good read. So, I
posted it for the same reason others post things which may not be boating
related but are enjoyable nevertheless.

Does that include osudad? Shortwave? All the others who are not so naive as
to post a bunch of personal information to be used against them?

JimH,

Here is another sad story:
http://www.coshoctontribune.com/apps...EWS01/70109009
I am sorry to read about this terrible incident.

In fact, damn it is easy to read 1000's of the terrible incident every
day across the world. Why should we limit posting about death to
Canadians who die in US cities, sure none of us knew the person, and to
the best of our knowledge no family members read rec.boats, but heck it
is a sad story. We could fill up rec.boats with 1000's of posts of
untimely deaths, or wait, maybe it would make more sense to post them in
alt.obituaries.

I didn't think my comment was funny, but I did think Don's OT POST was a
really sick way to turn this families tragedy into a classic rec.boats
troll. In fact, this might be the lowest type of troll I have ever seen
..

Oh my...how many times are you wrong in the above ramblings...??
First of all...I didn't cut & paste anything... I provided a *link*
There were a couple of articles in the local paper with local people
praising this lady and the effect she had on the local artistic community.
Seems she had made quite a contribution here and many truly missed her.
It just seemed so tragic to me, because this woman could have stayed here
relatively safe & secure ..but wanted to go back to her homeland to try and
make it better. If you don't see the tragedy in this, I feel sorry for you.

You are one sad, pathetic, sick puppy Smithers. I'm glad you've been outed.
Looks like my post has had one positive result.

"Scume"? Spell checkers are cheaper than lobster boats - unless they
are a fantasy.

See you are a trolling low life scum sucker who was using this poor
womans's death to make a political troll. Are you so stupid that you
don't believe any of the people who have died in Halifax, didn't think
about leaving the city at one time or another. Isn't it a tragedy when
those people die? Just think, if they had left Halifax, they would not
have died in Halifax. I can tell you that most people who die are truly
missed.

This might be a new low even for you.
