Why the need for a crew anyway unless in a search and rescue role.

I think you can park your political rantings. Save us the noise.

Not so sure you have experienced being acquired by a larger company. Keep up the high spirits sport. Good luck!

Let us remember that the seller sold for a reason. Chatroom angst of a likely demise should include both parties - if at all. And so it goes.

My area of interest based on this announcement is time. How long till this chat room is "commercialized"? How long till the new owners apply their corporate influence to content? How long will the chat-room side of the business continue to be of interest to Collins (ie: worth the overhead costs?) Spin-off or shut-down discussion at the board level will / have occur/red. Whenever, , , history has proven that acquisitions of this type will typically present subscribers with hard decisions. And we will make those decisions and move on.

Politics trumped (no pun intended!) logical and practical thinking. The current sh*t show that is Afghanistan was self-produced and a gift to the Taliban and others. The US now owns this sh*t show.

Your "Sounds like fun!" statement is in very poor taste considering the circumstances.

The point is more so about doing anything that contributes - even if it is emotionally beneficial to others. I have difficulty during these times, in understanding people looking for reasons to support "why not" than for reasons "why". Anyway, the last post from me on this galvanizing topic. Moving on.

Oh,,,, you are either a funny or twisted man! Assuming the latter, the USA formula for success that you mention simply does not apply to Canada (or for most of the world for that matter) as we have not reached the tipping point of tribal dynamics that requires a Mad-Max type society to survive. Sure we have our problems but we are far from that tipping point. An indicator of interest in this area may be incarceration per 100,000 where Canada has a rate of 107 while the USA is 639 per 100k. That is 6 times less than the USA which, by the way, is the #1 country in the world - #1 in the world - by far. Silver and Bronze positions go to El Salvador and Turkmenistan.
