Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

...And the Quirquincho you rode in on (your mom).

[souljour2000]

mark,
I have known a few air traffic controllers and most aren't exactly slackers...actually pretty dedicated folks for the most part...air safety was impacted by your hero Reagan's decision...I like Reagan nowadays(didn't like him when I was 15) . Some of us people would like to get pissed off by 8 years of an out-of-touch puppet of the establishment...the intellectual likes of which we have not ever seen in the Whitehouse...not to my reckoning at least...must have been one other..or maybe two complete schmoes who have inhabited it prior to Bush 43...okay...James earl Carter ....smart but a schmoe....Andrew Jackson was a war hero so he's out (also reference:John McCain.). can't name them other than maybe Hoover ....who will always be in the same sentence with Bush 43...and vice versa...Anyways...Presidents come and go....but your kind leave a bad taste in my stomach ...you wanna know why?...because you belive everything you read and hear...thats a problem when the only thing you read is conservative blogs and the only thing you hear is Coulter and Lamebrain...it's downright scary that there are so many of your kind have metastisized in so short of time in the pre-cancerous brain of the world.I think you are a bit out of touch Mark 775...happened to me for a long time....happens to a lot of us...maybe been up in the great white world too long...there really is no escape...especially when you seem keen on dialing in the yachting world at 80,000 kbs/sec just to be a prick...go pick on the eskimos....they HAVE to deal with you....we don't...(unless we get subscribed to stupid idiotic hate-filled threads for a second...hear dipsquats..and have to respond).....hate to break the news...Russia may be in your back yard...but so is the rest of the world...it's all just a kiss away (mick jagger)

Chile will never be in my backyard. A liberal telling me I'M not in touch? LOL As far as air traffic controllers...Reagan got tough with them partially to demonstrate that his word was cast in stone to the Russians (remember he was but a new guy, an actor, heart in the right place but they didn't know it!). It is a weaker America caused by bad decisions that is causing Putin to gain confidence. He's KGB, remember, and the communists still plan on ruling the world. How will that look in comparison to the America you loath? Better start rooting for the home team! I have little patience for ANY whiny-ass unioners, especially ones that think they have us over a barrel. If a plane didn't fly for a WEEK (while we fully trained new controllers for key positions) after Pres. Reagan kicked their asses, it would have been worth it.
Another thing - are you happy that the unions are standing next to Obama now? How did you like his smackdown to the Supreme Court last night? You had better start waking up or when you finally do, it'll be in Amerika! (and I don't mean in Saxony). Regardless of my constantly being called a "Republican" on this thread, you might actually think about getting on my team - Think freedom, no wars except in defence, and small government. It's coming to a conservative neighborhood near you, fall 2012. Your choice will be between Hillary Clinton and whoever steps forward and tries to fill George Washington's shoes. Pres. Reagan was almost there.

Instead you may find you handicapped by a monstrous beam Well, you just might fit in here, but not much to go wrong.. Anyway, in a place like this there's nobody collecting harbour fees

ps. As you notice I just started this thread from the beginning

That is OK teddy, you will get more and more disappointed as you read in... May I suggest, just check the links to economic data/essays and ignore the intervening ********, unless you feel the need for some entertainment of a generally degenerate kind - from all, as **** is sort of contagious...

My boat is about 6.2m beam overall and less that in the water... one inch overall less than 40ft long... You do not say what the measurement of the gap in the reef was? and I would not attempt till the tidal flow had significantly eased... Tide tables are an important book to carry... I would then feel better in a cat than a mono of similar lwl... but that is my personal choice...

The podcasts are available http://www.financialsense.com/index.php I am only listening to 1 and 3 but others may interest different interests... If you watched a brief of your impression of any/all would be welcomed...

That's about 10m wide and the only one there is.. but of course there's more islands around. Tidal changes might be below 1m.
Not so interested to participate political/economical debate but I read a lot.. I'm counting to my future scandinavian pension if I'll just be well enough to enjoy cruising..

LOL, Armadillo -kinda. And they DO taste like chicken (and make good pets when young. There is a superstition that you don't eat the ones with the "forked" tongue (I'm not making this up) for they have bred with the snake (nee, Diablo). When hunting, they take a stick for prying open the mouth, hence hitting them on the noggin when tongue not forked... Take the babes home for pets!
That's how I started Spanish, as well - "Como se dice, _________?"

That oil price was internally driven by USA as pipes, refineries and ports got a little behind and the NY market had another "panic attack" - bleeding idiots - That NY / USA still "fixes" the price on lots of commodities is a demonstration of how far the Goldman brotherhood of retarded Keynesian thinkers has infested the rest of the world...

That oil still flows is a tribute to the experience, skill and dedication of the ageing refinery workforce as most USA refineries and oil infrastructure is well past its use-by date and held together by rust, paint and good luck...

Taxes, bureaucratic incompetence, legislative constriction, ageing and ill maintained infrastructure forced most viable enterprises offshore and the increasing pressure of the stockmarkets to realise greater and greater profit margins have forced the rest offshore... Of course ********s like mark persist in blaming the unions - that is ******** and incompetence on his part... A worker must have a reasonable living wage to be able to survive and also purchase the daily necessities and a few luxuries... Who else will the manufacturers sell to... Very little of the USA production was exported in value-added form, where large input by labour was required - - - grains were exported, steel was exported, cotton at one phase was exported, some heavy machinery found a niche, airplanes found a varying market, (the cars were TO BLOODY BIG and THIRSTY, Bill Gates hyped the world into microsoft dependence using overpriced CRAP software) - - - - Things that had significant labour cost inputs - - MOST of everything else was for local/internal consumption...

The cardinal sin **** profusely in your own nest...

Yeah well it would not be good... IMO it will be the secondary market, if they begin to force rates up at some point (unknowable) we will see stress in the IRS market. That should kick off round 2... but who really knows it could come from left field.

<moderator note: numerous insults and attacks have been deleted>

I believe it is time to step in and close this thread. There have been too many complaints to count within this thread, far too many insults and personal attacks one way and the other. Our forum is fundamentally about boat design. Threads about boats, ships, boating and sailing in general are great. The premise of this thread "Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties " seemed like it could be useful at one time, but in recent days I don't believe I've learned a single practical thing that could help me should I decide to become a 'liveaboard yachtie...'. So, though I try not to close threads unnecessarily, I believe the time has come for this thread to come to a close. I am sorry that I did not step in sooner and try and focus it more closely so that it might more directly relate to practical application to real world boaters.
