ANGRY MINUTE #0042: Who Pays When People Are Stupid?
Welcome to the 42nd edition of the Anger that is AngryMinute. I’m your host with the most; Masked Dbag #8! And with this being the 42nd AngryMinute you’d think that we would tackle “the meaning of life”. Well I think that to be true as today we ask the question, “Who Pays When People Are Stupid?”
Like everything else in life I was set off by a news report. You see there is this young lady name Abby Sunderland who is only 13, but she has big dreams. She wanted to prove to herself, her family, and her friends that she has what it takes in this world. So how did she try to prove her worth? Well with a sailing mission in the attempt to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
Abby failed. The world had to go rescue her a few weeks ago as she was stranded in the Indian Ocean during a storm. It cost over $300,000 to rescue this one girl.
OK so she is rescued and safe. She must feel bad for what has happened, right? Her family must want to make this right and not burden tax payers with this rescue charge, right? Yeah and I got some great beachfront property in The Gulf that isn’t covered with oil that I’d like to sell ya!
Well Abby doesn’t seem to feel too bad. “I think that a lot of people are judging me by the standards they have for their teens and other teens that they know … and thinking ’she’s exactly like them,’” Sunderland told The Associated Press. “They don’t understand that I’ve sailed my whole life and I do know what I’m doing out there.”
Ummm… if you know what you are doing then why did you need rescued? If you didn’t need anyone’s help why were people sent to help you? And to be honest young lady I am judging you because you didn’t do what you said you were going to do, you abused and used tax payer money in your rescue, and now you want to tell ME that I don’t understand and that YOU know what the HELL you are doing?
Damn kids think they know EVERYTHING don’t they?
Well luckily Abby has parents who will raise her right… right? WRONG!
Yeah instead her parents are encouraging her to try again, which is great because parents should support their children in whatever they want to do in life. But they should also raise their children (and themselves) to be able to SUPPORT THEMSELVES!
See this is where I START TO GET PISSED OFF RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! Marianne Sunderland, the leaky vagina that Abby fell out of, has gone on record to inform the world that she doesn’t think the Sunderland’s should have to pay the $300,000 (and could reach up to $1.1 million) rescue fee. “We’re not wealthy people,” Marianne says as she tries not to point out the facts that she just helped finance Abby’s trip around the world AND has helped finance her son’s successful trip to solo sail around the world.
And to be honest I don’t give two shats what The Sunderland’s do with their free time, but I care what happens to tax payer’s money. Because right now the tax payers are the ones taking the bill, taking it right up the arse!
If I was a sports athlete and I broke my neck who would pay for it? I or my insurance would. If I couldn’t pay and I didn’t have insurance then I would be FRAKED. So my question is WHY didn’t Abby Sunderland have some sort of “Rescue Insurance”? Why should people who don’t go out and try to “conquer the world” be held responsible when failure and rescue occurs to others?
Its not just Abby Sunderland, lots of people try to tame Mother Nature and need help. We hear of adventurers climbing mountains only to get stuck and need to be rescued, and those rescues can be VERY expensive. Shouldn’t those people who need rescued float the bill?
I’m all for helping people in accidents, but when people place themselves in risky situations they should fully know that they should be held responsible for their actions. Letting this 13 year old girl go with a slap on the wrist is sending her the wrong message. It is telling her to go do whatever the FRAK she wants without worry of repercussions. She doesn’t have to care who will come rescue her or how she will pay for it, all she cares about is that someone will come and it will be free of charge.
This situation makes me physically sick. Next time this bitch gets stuck and lost I say let her die. Sorry bout your damn luck but we don’t have time to save every dumb person. What ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?!?!?!?! Guess they don’t teach that anymore because neither Abby nor her parents seem to know what that means. Get on a boat, all of you, and sail out into the middle of the ocean and DIE! You are all worthless and are nothing but burdens on this Earth. I pray everyday that karma takes that $300,000 up to $1.1m rescue bill and takes a hot steaming doodoo butter loaf all over your lives. Because you have shat all over the lives of the tax payers. You and your family are worthless leeches and I am done with you. Take your 15 mins and get the FRAK off my soapbox.
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away from me… BITCH!
