I forgot to refill my boo-hoo reservoir. It’s bone dry.
Donald Trump’s anti-migrant rage is MY RAGE TOO. Driving a mile west or south of Palm Beach and going into a McDonalds is like being in a foreign country. Virtually no one speaks English. The signs one passes are in Spanish. And there are English speaking assholes who encourage this.
There were plenty of immigrants living where I grew up on Long Island. My father was one! There was nothing at all German about our house. Neighbors had come from Italy. To find that out as a kid, I had to ask. We were all Americans.

Last one of those is the recently built RMS Queen Mary II. It is the last transatlantic liner in service and charges accordingly.
They don’t have cheap steerage berths like the Titanic did? Same company.
Who cares? Go back to africa, you freaks.
“flee her country, fly halfway across the world and then set out on a 4,000-mile trek through dense jungle and across seven borders.”
That wasn’t cheap. Who paid for it?

Invaders thwarted. Beautiful.
No, you do not get to invade our country just because you feel like it. The fact that would be invaders are being stopped and are having a hard time is wonderful. Be sure to publicize this as much as possible so that other would-be invaders are deterred. America has no responsibility to serve as the world’s toilet/dumping ground. Go back home.
Negative. Today’s “Cunard” is not the line of old. The original Cunard died decades ago as travel moved from sea to air. The current “Cunard” is just a resurrection of the brand name only by Carnival Cruises.
Steerage itself died out slowly after the Titanic, *because* of the Titanic and subsequent disasters which required more lifeboats to be carried and provisioned. The wars that followed the Titanic incident also helped put an end to steerage as well as the conversion from coal to oil fired ships.
It is still possible to buy or work passage on a modern freighter across oceans, but there’s an understandable amount of controls and vetting on modern corporate container and tanker ships. You have to find a tramp vessel and those are getting harder and harder to find these days.
When I was a veteran’s representative (career counselor) at the state unemployment office I remember talking to a merchant seaman. He claimed a large oil tanker he worked on had a swimming pool.
Some tankers have more (and better) facilities than many cruise liners - but that is because the days of week-long shore leave as a regular basis every time the ship nears shore are long gone and the tankers have to compete to keep good officers and crew.
There are modern tankers and container ships larger than the Nimitz and Ford classes of aircraft carriers. Civilian shipping isn’t limited to Panamax.
It apparently prevents you from getting free American Welfare
From the videos I’ve seen on YouTube the food and berthing are usually decent.
These aren’t the dingy, greasy, poorly-lit merchant vessels of yore or of Hollywood, no. I know a few people that work as IT personnel on container ships and tankers these days; those vessels are increasingly automated in many respects.
Prolly because they don't have A/C or TP!
Because Francophones, all throughout the former African French colonies have been brutal towards English speakers.

Potential Ebola vectors are being released, by ICE, directly onto the streets of San Antonio
It’s called an embassy.
“It’s called an embassy.”
From under what rock did you crawl, nimrod?
