:Andy, you've got to do better than this.  As a lawyer, you know better than to refute a hypothetical scenario with the argument "this will never happen."  Remember torts class?  You were given a grade over nonsense that would never happen.  Deal with the argument on the merits, and quit being retarded.  --[[User:JamaicanJah|JamaicanJah]] 20:55, 8 December 2007 (EST)

:: The root of the lifeboat dilemma is a lack of [[faith]], as the Biblical account illustrates.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:00, 9 December 2007 (EST)
