Considering how much leeway the judges have to choose which factors to base it on, I’d say you meant “subjective” not “objective”.

I’ve read that in some comments and linked stories. How terrifying.  It sounds like the boats are seriously flawed in design and should probably just be retired  

I’ve often wished texts had a recall like email. I’ve made some mistakes before (“amazingly” with no slurs).

Her ex admitted he would have killed her. He ADMITTED it. It should not have gone to trial. Don’t say she could have left. She was a survivor of a violent and abusive relationship and HE admitted he was there to hurt her and would hurt her again.

I was actually thinking of that very reference.  It’s my worst fear as a parent. 

Absolutely.  A fellow drowning person is as much, if not more, danger to you than the water. 

When I was a cheerleader in HS I sprained my ankle and went to the hospital for x-rays. They hadn’t made me put on a hospital gown so my uniform was still on. The x-ray technician told me to take off my top and bra but wasn’t offering me a gown or a shield. I asked why. He said it wasn’t procedure. I said it didn’t

Absolutely. I have three kids, the oldest 7 and the youngest 2. I’m an excellent swimmer. The issue is not being able to swim necessarily, it’s swimming and keeping three other little people afloat at the same time even in calm weather. Anyone with kids was automatically at a disadvantage.

Right? I wasn’t sure how to phrase my distaste for the comment (which I’m sure was well meaning but). You nailed it. 

I don’t disagree but I’m not going to fault the terrified vessel goers for listening to the captain (someone experienced on the water). In panic situations a lot of people follow the leader. It’s innate. How readily accessible were the lifejackets to the passengers anyway? We’re they stowed as in most vessels? Bottom

And her husband. As the mother of three children I know I would wish I had died too. That poor woman. I wish her nothing but peace. I can’t imagine the strength it will take to go forward. 

OMG that site. I... words fail. 

Disagree.

That insults Kylo Ren, but I’ll allow it.

Irn-Bru is pretty good.

Right?!

“Canadian friends” Wait - is that like a Canadian girlfriend *wink*?

Abortions have always existed just not in the medically safe fashion they do today. Women in Jesus’ day would have known how to elminate an unwanted pregnancy via plants: herbs, etc.

You are completely excused for adding a U to dishonour (as it is meant to have) and that delightful anecdote.
