This system does work, I have experienced it. We are all conditioned to seeing red lights, zebra crossings and lines in the middle of the roads to segregate traffic. When these are removed we slow down and approach with caution, accidents disappear, tension and agression are reduced and trafic flows much smoother.

Not for me. It is far easier to lower your levels of intelligence artificially when surrounded by other thick people, however I would like to remain above average when required, which is most of the time. He has a point though, those daft people do live in a cosy ignorant world of their own and they seem to get by more casually than I......

+6 5. jmbiss commented 11 years ago on video Collision between two cargos in Singapore detroit

#2, neither ship is a tanker. I was at sea for 16 years, the last one as master. The ship astern of the other is to blame because he was overtaking and must therefore keep out of the way according to rules. However if it becomes so close that he alone cannot prevent a collision, then the other must do something too. In this case he went to port which made matters worse. Both ships then are to blame.

I doubt it # 1/. I used to do this, it takes years of practice, you have to be a very strong swimmer to avoid the undercurrents, an incredible sense of balance skill is needed and the noise is deafening out there. You would crap yourself.

This guy is in the right place, but for the wrong reason. He should be at the back of the board to steady it and prevent imbalance. Then when she gets the mast up he can let go gently as the wind catches the sail.

Americans? Advanced? Hardly. These colonials still use the archaic weights and measures system, lbs and ounces instead of kg and grams, feet and inches instead of metres and centimetres, fahrenheit instead of celsius, tons instead of tonnes, gallons instead of litres.....They think Paris is in Texas, they spell a lot of English words incorrectly and they've buggered up every war they've ever attended. There's not much hope here.

+13 12. jmbiss commented 12 years ago on video How malls Make you buy !

This applies mainly to one group of people, they are called women. Women are constantly distracted by all things glittery and colourful. If I go to a mall, I go there to specifically get something, I know what time it is because I have a watch, I turn left equally as much as right, I know what to buy in supermarkets, no more, no less, I know where I am in Ikea because I look at the map to go straight to the area I am interested in taking the shortcuts, and I always know exactly where I have parked my car......

Interesting, but couldn't watch it all beacause I can't stand that American adenoidal whining nasal sound that most of them have in their voices.
