Pedro and Jesse, do you have opinions on those things that happen worldwide, perhaps in Iraq, China, etc.? Have you been there recently to know first hand what is actually happening, or do you form those opinions based on the news media? Most of us read the article posted, and it indicted that the ship acted irresponsibly, or did I misread the article? We reacted to it. You could have posted the flip side without insulting us. Well, maybe not, you are Pedro. I do not think people get insulted if they are reacting to misinformation, and then are corrected. Just post the true account, so that we can rethink our positions.

I wish fines would be levied against any ship causing damage to the reef, and just because the authorities are lax in doing so, does not make it any less irresponsible on the part of the ship owner. It just means they are lucky, and do not have to pay.

Of course I'm jealous Pedro, I'm here, you're there! laugh
