It's cold. Broke a sweat organizing my storage locker though (which had just been a jumble of boxes since the move). # Home * ✓ email SSG about interview https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1479058487825125378.html > Yes, the boat hit the iceberg, but putting the children in lifeboats is the most destructive thing imaginable to their psyche. It's time for us to stop all this evacuation talk and just complete the voyage. >Yes, the first 7 watertight compartments are now flooded with frigid North Sea water, but it's time for us to stop being ruled by our fears and get back to our normally scheduled travel. We MUST open the shuffleboard courts on the lido deck. >Look at children's faces when they're in lifeboats. They're frightened. They're confused. They don't want to be there. Their parents don't want them there. We need to put them back on the boat, whose deck is now pitched at 90 degrees. > It's time to declare this sinking OVER. > Look, I too want to survive this sinking, but I look at how people insist on wearing constrictive life-vests and taking to life boats and I sympathize with those who wants to spend their time drilling holes in the hull. Better to show this ocean we don't fear it than to cower. > Do you know what a full evacuation of this sinking ship will DO to our scheduled arrival time? > The cure can't be worse than the *glub glub glub* > Wow, there is a lot of drowning on both sides of this evacuation issue. > I don’t think people shoving their children into lifeboats understand how cruel they’re being. > We need to trust parents as the true experts. Parents understand exactly how much sea water their child can swallow, and what their child’s core body temperature should be. It isn’t our place to shove our opinions on drowning down their throats. > What you alarmists in your lifeboat bubbles don’t realize is ordinary people don’t care about life jackets or buoyancy or physics, and when you talk about those things you sound out-of-touch. > If lifeboats work, then why are so many people in lifeboats still getting cold and wet. Answer me that. > These are the questions every evacuee of a sinking ship should be allowed to ask, at length, never moving until they are satisfied, regardless of their ignorance of evacuations or boatmaking, even if they're blocking the lifeboat line for everyone else.
