“I have no problem with her being a porn star as long as she is of age.”

I don’t think anyone would have a problem with her sailing around the world if she was of age, too.

“Too many on here play Democrat in “knowing whats good for people” better than those people do.”

You, my friend, are doing the exact same thing. Society has said that underage porn is bad and there are laws against it. But if we are now in the “let a 16 year old do whatever she wants” realm and it includes having her dad sign up for a reality TV series and then throw her in the middle of the Indian Ocean in the winter time “because she wanted to” then we may as well make it legal for her to be a porn star too - after all, if a teenager can make bad decisions to sail around the world (we can all agree it was a bad decision, can’t we?) then why shouldn’t she be allowed to do whatever else she wants - just because she wants to - regardless of whether it is advisable, or legal?

A voyage with all safety precautions taken is not analogous to a career as a porn star no matter how much you want it to be. Under your logic I suppose we should suspend all “ride along” programs where a teenager is placed in the passenger seat of a police car in order for them to observe the officer’s routine and possibly pursue a career as a LEO. Afterall, under your logic that teenager just isn’t capable of making the decision to be there. Police officer’s actually GO TO TROUBLE SPOTS, making the risks very high for the teenager. Afterall, if we let teenagers ride in risky police cars adn be on site at risky crime scenes we might as well let them be porno stars right? Get real.

Abby travelled ALONE on seas that experienced sailors would NOT sail in the winter.

Comparing this act of Child Abuse to teens riding along with adult cops in squad cars --- shows how irrational many Americans are about Abby's utterly dysfunctional family and weirdo parents.
