| I am a retired Seaman and don't mind admitting I detest the sea. In my industry yacht owners, particularly the ocean going or offshore variety, are referred to as the "Blowflies of the sea" (They are for the most part a bloody nuisance)
The boating fraternity in my mind are all lunatics, there's not a month goes by without the state footing a large bill for a search for some lost "boatie", then there are those who drown, kill and injure themselves and endanger the lives of others in their use of power boats not to mention the annoyance many cause.
For the most part there is no reason why these people need to have a boat, but I don't go around advocating that all boats be banned for other than those who can show a need to own one. This stupid idea that we must "need" something to be able to own it is completely out of order.
As I stated earlier, the only things we "need" are, air sustenance and maybe shelter. But Im buggered if I'm going to agree to that either.
And on that note, I will reiterate my claim that "Gun control laws within Australia are a crock of sh*t", and withdraw from the debate having said all that I am going to on the matter. |
