No. I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to.

In other words, you think it was perfectly reasonable for her to hold
her cup of coffee between her legs while she applied her makeup?

Jim

I'm sorry. Did I give you the impression that I wanted you to do
something. I'm just having some fun with you. I'm sure your
Mac is just *perfect* for your abilities and needs. Please don't
do something foolish, ahem, like enter it in the race.

Wow, that much math and physics... I mean wow! You also
claimed to be a sailor. So far, all we've seen are a few fuzzy
pictures of a piece of crap Mac.

Actually, the pictures were rather sharp and clear.

What do you want me to do, Johnathan? Do I have to enter my boat in the
Galveston-Veracruz race to satisfy you? Post results from Sail magazine?
I NEVER said that the boat was a racer or that it was suitable for
blue water crossings. - So what, exactly, do you want me to do?

Jim

Now that is *not* nice.

He said 20 hours - that means, to me, 20 hours

If you were taking 20 hrs here it would mean you were taking 5 four hour
classes or some combination of them 4 and 3, plus lab time...the average
student carries 16 credit hrs per semester....plus labs and library
time...

Kate,
Don't you think that someone who had 20 credit hours of physics and 18
of math
would know immediately that 200 gallons is a volume much larger than a
centerboard trunk? And after it was pointed out twice he claimed he
didn't
have time to do the calculation!


No, not if he had something elst to do, Jeff.


Or, if he had the sailing experience he claims, he would know that a 100
gallon
water tank is rather large, roughly coffin sized, and is bigger than
what is
found on most smaller sailboats - 200 gallons is huge! Either Jim is
a
complete fake, or he's just too slow and lazy to figure out anything on
his own.



Shove it, Jeff.

I disagree.

Jim has been very polite in the face of the most incredible abuse.

Peter Wiley has tried to tell us that his opinion should hold sway over
Jim's because Peter, (and soon), his son have college degrees. This
argument makes no sense at all. In fact, if someone has to invoke their
"degree" as proof of their intelligence, then I would assume that they are a
bit inadequate.


Jeff has poured scorn on the 200 gallon claim, and yet Jeff has not had the
courage to state what he thinks that the real figure is.

Jim is absolutely correct to pour scorn on their insults.


Regards

Donal

Who are you talking about? If you take the time to read my note, I never
suggested that popularity of the Macs equals quality. The point of the
above discussion was to point out that, if the ridiculous statements
about Macs being under built were true, BECAUSE there are thousands of
them out there, we would have hundreds of reports every year about Macs
breaking up and owners and passengers being lost.

This is just one more example of the total lack of intellectual honesty
of some participants on this ng. You can't dig much dirt out of what I
say, so you deliberately lie about it and twist the discussion around to
what you would have like for me to have said, but didn't.


So you're saying that if less than 10% of the boats break up and cause
fatalities, that's an acceptable ratio for you?

Jeff, I think that you are beginning to go off the deep end.

You need to take a very deep breath ... and then reconsider your question.

Do you really think that Jim said that a break-up rate of less than 10% was
acceptable?



This is just one more example of your flawed logic, and lack of
intellectual
honesty.

"Flawed logic"? "10%"? Please .... Jeff.
In fact, you have demonstrated your own lack of intellectual honesty in your
snobby attempt to put down Jim.

Jim has openly requested and encouraged the abuse he has gotten. It
appears that
he thrives on taking an absurd position and then defendining it,
regardless of
how deep a hole he digs for himself. WE are doing him a favor by telling
him
what a jerk he is. He enjoys it.

Yup. The 'old' Donal used to be funny.

And the court found her 20% liable for her actions. Of course ,
dumbass, they found Mc D's liable for 80%.


If she spilt the coffee, while driving a vehicle and trying to hold the cup
between her legs, then she was 100% liable.

Your legal system seems to absolve individuals of any personal
responsibility for their own actions.

Well, we can see that you're quite a sailor. I'm sure you can find
a couple of other excuses for not sailing.


Jon,

I used to have a powerboat.

I once(maybe twice) went out while under the influence. I "showed off" to
the guests by putting the helm hard over at 35 kts. It was great fun, but
we were lucky that I didn't sink the boat.

If I had capsized the boat, then it would have been *my* fault.... and my
fault alone.

I now sail "dry".



Regards


Donal
