You’re crammed in a room, shoulder-to-shoulder with 100 other passengers.
It’s dark. It smells. It’s wet and very cold. There’s no privacy. No bathrooms. Your meals are pitiful — salted meat and a hard, dry biscuit. You, and people around you are sick, because the room is rocking side to side. There’s no fresh water and no change of clean clothes. In essence, you‘re trapped because land is thousands of miles away.

Sounds like Delta airlines.
The first illegal aliens were the people who are now claiming “native” American status.
Everything I needed to know about the ultimate cultural impact of unlimited immigration I learned from the American Indians.
Mine came here with John Smith.
The Mayflower had better odds than the Titanic.
The Indian men used to go hunting and fishing every day. The women raised the children and took care of the home.
What made us think we could improve upon that?
If you check on the ale ‘stock’ onboard, there were two divided areas...one for the crew, and one for the passengers. Not to say all of the 102 sipped ale regularly...but historians kinda note that when they reached US coastline...the stock of Pilgrim ale was nearing an end-point. I might go and suggest that a fair number of Pilgrims were blitzed and never noticed an issue with the crammed nature of the boat.
Ale travelled better than fresh water on those long trips, and had nutritional content too.
Europe and Asia has had cultures flourish, be destroyed, over run, a new one rise only to be destroyed in their turn.
There are no reservations in Europe for Visigoths of Huns.
Why are “native” Americans special as opposed to the other cultures that were destroyed?
“During a storm on the journey, the main beam cracked. The Pilgrims fixed it with a large screw they had brought for housebuilding.”
Legend has it that the ‘screw’ was part of a printing press, not something for home building.

The Pilgimes were NOT the first illegal aliens because this country didn’t have laws forbidding such just yet. There were a few years between 1621 and 1778 when this country became a new nation.
When my family came here in 1840, they had to pass through a port of call and request legal entry. It was only 60 years later.
So, these ignorant libs can take their lies and stick them where the sun don’t shine, and where everything else about them lives, and let the rest of us get on with living in freedom.
I remember a witty definition of the Mayflower as being a small sea going vessel in which several million people came to America in the 1600s.
Not to mention, there was no sovereign nation here when the Pilgrims arrived. People yes. A nation no.
“A letter to editor in the local lib real rag stated that the pilgrims were the first illegal alien caravan coming to America.”
The above quote clearly indicates that the Indians of the past needed an immigration policy every bit as much as we need one today, and for the same reasons.
Female relative not allowed on Titanic due to a cold. Rest of family waited with her so they all boarded next ship together.
ROFL!!!!
Not a particularly great thread to post something hysterical. :)
But it was hysterical and I did laugh pretty hard!!
What a miserable ####ing trip that must have been.
The Pilgrims, not Delta :)
“pilgrims were the first illegal alien caravan”
When someone spouts that drivel, ask them which section of the Indigenous Peoples Code was violated by the Pilgrims. If anything, their failure to pass and enforce immigration laws should serve as a warning to us today.
Listen I don’t lose sleep over it but I’m sure there was an Indian version of Trump saying “we can’t have these people coming!!!”
Totally correct and I also could not read the article without disabling the adblocker, which I will not do.
“I am thankful for the common cold” should be offered at the Thanksgiving table.
