Duh.... TMH - I get it now! you were coming from the devils advocate side and just making comment about your observation. Sorry bout that. I retract my last about the socialism --- Friends?

You bet. It was funny that for the first time in my life someone mentioned me and socialist in the same sentence. We even have a Conservative P.M. once again. Lots of people don't like him.

Just returned home from diving. Boat tour leader said all smokers must smoke at the stern.

But not all smokers did that: rather, they smoked toward the bow on the passenger deck so that not only the smoke but also the ash was blown down into my face and eyes. Even when my instructor asked the person to move to the stern the person just sat there with a dumb look on her face. This is the sort of idiot that should be keel hauled.

On the bus down the pier to the boat there was a French guy with a pipe. Came up from the first dive and there was the French guy sucking on the boat's O2 and hurling his guts out the port hole. Came back from the third dive, puking man is again smoking his pipe.

At least puking man had the sense to smoke and puke downwind.

Well when you are done with him, would you please send him South?. We need some real conservatism to get things back where they belong. I'm back on my personal responsibility for my actions again soapbox.

Sure, keel haul the idiot. But I think before that, the Captain, crew, Instructor, Owner, etc. who set the stern smoking rule without enforcing it should be keel hauled. There's the real problem.

OkByMe, You had a conservative guy for 8 years that almost everyone up here hated. Then in 2009 came a pres. that everyone up here thought was the greatest. You don't hear anything much about Obama up here these days.
 
Very good list however the speedo guy thinks that #10 is taking it a bit far. And the coffee drinker with the big mac insists tht #6 and #5 are not list worthy. I would suspect that as long as the captain drinks coffee that #5 will be removed from the list. I womnder what the flag shirt wearing fat slob in the speedo with the 1/2 lb of peircings washing down a 1/4 pounder with a cup of jo is going to think. Well who really cares so long as he smoikes and farts where he doesnt bother anyone. Sorry i just couldnt work #12 in. And #7 really should go. Dairy is a constitutional right.

I think this lest should be expanded with everyones inputs and then used as a screening device for who can or can not go on a boat.
THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF INCONSIDERATES ON BOATS Once that happens then every one will be both hapy and mad but the boats will remain docked. Think of the ozone saved. I think ii will go outside and pick out a good looking oak tree to bond with.

Things that should be banned on dive boats, because it offends some people:

1) Obese people
2) Smokers
3) Discussion of religion
4) Discussion of politics
5) Coffee and caffinated beverages
6) Meat products
7) Diary products
8) Flatulence
9) Garish fashions
10) Speedo-type swimwear
11) Patriotic comments
12) .....................................................
 
You forgot dual bladder wings...

Now you are going too far...
 
This all got too hard, let's just make every dive a shore entry, regardless of distance. We'll have plenty of time to discuss individual liberties during that 20 mile surface swim.
