"I bet my boat is bigger than yours".I don't really need a large boat so why pay for something I don't need? I'm a professional skipper (master class 3) and qualified marine engine driver class 1. I'm qualified to operate commercial vessels up to 80 metres in length up to 600 nm offshore.I'm also a qualified shipwright and boatbuilder.
Unfortunately, I occasionally have to deal with people like you sometimes and it's always painful .The sort of people who buy large boats to try to impress others rather than through any genuine need for the vessel only earn the contempt of every professional in the industry.At the moment I'm driving a 200ft long passenger vessel with a capacity of 320 people and I am VERY well paid for the responsibility. I earn it - the waterways are full of sad inadequates like you endangering others with boats that they think they can operate. I sure don't need a large boat ( but I have owned charter boats up to 40 metres) and if I need one again - I will build one!

Risk creator...very good...

however in my experience i have always noticed that Risk Assessors can make a 30 page report on the potential dangers and thier associated risks of a padded cell. And another report of recomendations to reduce those risks.

i always make a point of storing my chemicals on a rickety shelf at head height and never on a level floor. I like to block up the fire exits with old chairs, take the battery out of the smoke detector and leave electrical cable across the floor (particularly in areas where people are carrying scalpels)...

get the risk manager in there and run for cover...

Just a tad off topic, but you'll understand what I'm waffling about, MP. We're in the middle of a contract with one of the big Oil Companies. We run a STOP card system on our Rigs (They are a means of reporting safe or unsafe actions or conditions). The Client audits our STOP Cards. They weren't getting enough, so they introduced a points system whereby everyone wins digital cameras, rice cookers, lethal weapons etc based on the number of Cards they turn in. Quantity increased dramatically - 27 Cards in one day from one person (you know they were working hard that day). Client removed the incentive - STOP Cards ...Stopped. Client said..."How is it so?" Client reintroduced incentives. Quantity increased. Client looked at its graphs and told us the ratio of good (Safe Action) STOP Cards to bad (Unsafe Action) STOP Cards was too high. We need more unsafe acts so that we fit their norm graphs. In order to demonstrate how safe we are being, we need more unsafe acts so that we can show that we are preventing them...Makes perfect sense to me.
Anyway, back to the politics...

I actually only typed that in humor as in "my father can beat up your father". My boat is just right in the "Goldie Locks Zone" for me.
I am not fond of getting into pissing contests on the internet. After all, it is only the internet and it's only entertainment at this level.
You have very limited knowledge of me to make an assessment of what kind of person I am.
This is actually the first post that you have made that had any fundamental content for me.
Keep it up,this is much more interesting than cutting remarks.

A very experienced employees of ours attached a work chair on a lift cable on the wrong side (backwards). He tighten the nut himself and then climbed in. As it contacted the first tower it rolled across the guide wheels and pinched him between the chair and the cable.
He had accomplished this task many time safely for years.
I was asked by our insurance carrier "why he would do such a thing"?
I answered by asking "why do people run red lights"?
Not paying attention,I guess! He is fine now but we almost lost him.

Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Enterpriser typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. Enterprisers represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters.



Basic Description
As in previous studies conducted in 1987, 1994 and 1999, this extremely partisan Republican group’s politics are driven by a belief in the free enterprise system and social values that reflect a conservative agenda. Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act.

Defining Values
Assertive on foreign policy and patriotic; anti-regulation and pro-business; very little support for government help to the poor; strong belief that individuals are responsible for their own well being. Conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, but not much more religious than the nation as a whole. Very satisfied with personal financial situation.

Who They Are
Predominantly white (91%), male (76%) and financially well-off (62% have household incomes of at least $50,000, compared with 40% nationwide). Nearly half (46%) have a college degree, and 77% are married. Nearly a quarter (23%) are themselves military veterans. Only 10% are under age 30.

Lifestyle Notes
59% report having a gun in their homes; 53% trade stocks and bonds in the stock market, and 30% are small business owners – all of which are the highest percentages among typology groups. 48% attend church weekly; 36% attend bible study or prayer group meetings.

2004 Election
Bush 92%, Kerry 1%. Bush’s most reliable supporters (just 4% of Enterprisers did not vote) Party ID
81% Republican, 18% Independent/No Preference, 1% Democrat (98% Rep/LeanRep)

you betcha- i am 100% not liberal

I don't know. I wonder how he feels about Roosevelt's "New Deal" initiatives, e.g.-=Social Security That was a "liberal" initiative. So was the "Fair Labor Standards Act".

i mean i'm not liberal by today's standards (the bleeding hearts). i am against gay marraige and abortion, pro iraq war, not a huge fan of bush but he is 100+ times better than kerry would have been.

and another thing, i read that link and while i agree most of those were good things the thing about indian lands is pure bull. i live in an area where the indians are constantly trying to take our land claiming its "holy land" only to build cansinos on it so they can add more cash to their rich asses. their "sovreignty(sp)" is crap too. they can live on private land without taxes (which we cant monitor) but they can vote in our elections and shape our countries laws. i have no sympathy for those slimebags at all, to them i say, "its our land now, tought shit for you"

You little Custer, you.

While I do not agree with your policy of "Tough Shit For You", I do think some native americans are rite sods. The casinos are one thing, but the "Gift Shops" are quite another. I just drove a four-day trip from berkeley to memphis, and the shops just drove me insane!!! In the gift shops, poorly made, turquoise (semiprecious and cheaply available in large quantities) jewelry sells for over 160! I went in one of these shops for a second, and chuckled to myself about the thought that these people must make no money. But immediately I saw a trucker and his wife treating the giftshop like a sacred ground, buying a necklace for 200 and a headdress OF FEATHERS for 250!!! Then they did that fucking stupid palms-together bow (which is actually native to thailand) to the shopkeeper.

These people (the native americans) are cashing in on the stupidity of the "paleface" traveling trash and I think it is just ridiculous.

Then, later, when I noticed a large sign saying "Free 4inch slab of museum-quality petrified wood" I decided to stop for the fun of it. When I asked the native american clerk (an alcoholic moron speaking in a false gravelly baritone) for my "4inch slab of museum-quality petrified wood, he shouted "Get off my land!!!" at me.
