I let stand my comment... and btw... it was not about insults to me. The comments on these threads (collectively) about Abby and her family are unworthy of FR.
Ah, so you insult people that have a different opinion than you do.
The comments on these threads (collectively) about Abby and her family are unworthy of FR.
Now you run FR?
And not all the comments (collectively) are mine.
You are correct. We have a whole nation of adults and children who collectively have zero accomplishments worth noting. We can't even send a manned mission to the moon, even though we accomplished the same feat forty years ago. Did we lose the technology that got us there? No, our technology has advanced tremendously in the past forty years. We lost the spirit.
Our people collectively cower in fear as a nanny state government, led by a marxist, communist, muslim, anti-American, gay prostitute, sets about dictating every minor decision of every person's every waking moment.
These idiot critics of Abby on FR, and everywhere else, are totally clueless about her accomplishments thus far on just this voyage, any single leg of which puts her above 99.999% of all American teenagers.
Just one item on the list, from a quick look at her Route Information is sufficient to secure her the utmost respect of seafaring people anywhere in the world, from the snottiest yacht club yuppies, to the roughest, most violent merchant sailor bars in the nastiest seaports imaginable.
Abby Sunderland sailed around The Horn.
To all the snotty critics, what did your kid do in the past six months to match this, just this one thing?
