The Voice of Reason Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yes people do worry about dying in plane crashes and there seems to have been a few of late. I've never worried about dying in a plane crash. Going on the boat is another matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanna Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Least you have a fighting chance on a boat. On a plane you just have to sit there for a minute plummeting to earth knowing your going to die. I think I would rather be eaten by a shark than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebrof Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I've just been reading about the world food crisis and beating myself up for buying broccoli that had been flown in from a nation where the majority of the population are starving, I'd rather ponder those kind of things than pray. If you want to help them, you should buy more broccoli, not less. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Maybe, it might slightly improve their condition, although the profits will remain in the hands of the people whose sell the broccoli. I've never worried about dying in a plane crash. Going on the boat is another matter though. You kidding? I'd rather end up floating on the sea than sitting in a airplane that is breaking up. I can't think of anything more terrifying. Though saying that I am under the presumption that I am more likely to come out of sinking ship alive. I wouldn't want to be on the Ben My Chree.

Stavros Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I do hope that it wan't one of those 'dirty bombs' I mean how rude is that. If you're going to bomb some country, at least have the decency to make sure that you've given your bomb a good wash and polish before hand.

Sebrof Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Maybe, it might slightly improve their condition, although the profits will remain in the hands of the people whose sell the broccoli. Who will employ more people to grow broccoli, and spend more money in the local economy, thus stimulating employment further. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, these people have their produce stolen from them, i.e. the people who actually farm it aren't the ones selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a good price for it ofc...like the British farmers who need subsidising because they do not earn enough while Tescos rakes it in. Wake up & think.

I buy food with it. By buying from the Third World, we provide employment and income to the people there. If we withdraw our custom, those people will lose those jobs and that income. What will they do then? And if there is something else they could do, it obviously doesn't pay as well or they would be doing it now. Obvious, really, except to the extremely stupid.
