I can hardly consider my type of person as an "arm chair hero" particularly when several of us have mentioned the Flight 93 heroes. (And no, I would never consider something I've DONE or would do as heroic. Just human) I've never met anyone who would move table because of a racy, religious (sexuality which you did not mention) or any other reason other than just not getting along with them... Particularly on a cruise! Maybe you know people like that or choose to cruise with people like that. Now, if someone mentions it on the NG, I usually consider those dark jokes rather than something someone would actually do. *rolls eyes* LES! -- To email me privately, please remove YOUR CLOTHES CruiseAddict(a)gmail.comYOURCLOTHES If you experience.... .... lasting more than 4 hours... ....

Just human) Unless you were on Flight 93, you, me and everyone else here are just "Arm Chair Quarterbacks" right? Does anyone actually know what ANYone on a USENET board has done in life? And how exactly does one determine who is more or less "Human" based on what is posted here? Seriously? Some people seem to have a need to appear all-caring, extraordinarily "human" yet on Usenet... how'd anyone ever know? Have you ever seen someone pretend to care..or pretend not to? Deeds speak louder than words. All I see here are words. What are you seeing?
