I'm not accusing anyone, these are actual stories I have heard through various sources. I was wondering if anyone else has heard about these alleged incidents?

| I'm just wondering why you would post such a thing knowing that you have immediately pissed off a large percentage of Dorchester residents. My question was to see if you had any personal knowledge of what a typical waterman was all about.

Why do you ask?
I'm trying to get to the bottom of the situations out on the water.

I am not a crabber, but I have heard an immense amount of stories about the going-ons with crabbers while they're abroad. It is startling to hear, but my sources that aren't saying it in a defamatory manner - rather an "a matter of fact and I can't believe it" manner.
Apparently a lot of it is done in exchange of substances and whatnot.
This is really ponderable. Is it being out on the water and being overwhelmed with loneliness? Has anyone else ever heard about this?

Sorry this is so long, but it's funny.
Gates vs. GM
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and
affection for the way computers have enhanced
our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill
Gates reportedly compared the computer
industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If GM had kept up with technology like the
computer industry has, we would all be driving
$25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the
gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors
issued a press release stating:
If GM had developed technology like Microsoft,
we would all be driving cars with the following
characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would
crash........
Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the
road, you would have to buy a ne w car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the
freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to
the side of the road, close all of the windows,
shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the
windows before you could continue. For some
reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a
left turn would cause your car to shut down and
refuse to restart, in which case you would have
to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was
powered by the sun, was relia ble, five times as
fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run
on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator
warning lights would all be replaced by a single
"This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation"
warning light.
I love the next one!!!
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?"
before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your
car would lock you out and refuse to let you in
until you simultaneously lifted the door handle,
turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio
antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car
buyers would have to learn how to drive all over
again because none of the controls would
operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" butto n to
turn the engine off.
Please share this with your friends who love -
but sometimes hate - their computer!

THE OLD PATHS
I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home.
Dads were at work.
Brothers went into the army.
And sisters got married BEFORE having children!
Crime did not pay;
Hard work did;
And people knew the difference.
Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave.
Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite.
Women wore the jewelry;
And Men wore the pants.
Women looked like ladies;
Men looked like gentlemen;
And children looked decent.
People loved the truth,
And hated a lie;
They came to church to get IN,
Not to get OUT!
Hymns sounded Godly;
Sermons sounded helpful;
Rejoicing sounded normal;
And crying sounded sincere.
Cursing was wicked;
Drugs were for illness;
And divorce was unthinkable.
The flag was honored;
America was beautiful;
And God was welcome!
We read the Bible in public;
Prayed in school;
And preached from house to house
To be called an American was worth dying for;
To be called a Christian was worth living for;
To be called a traitor was a shame!
Preachers preached because they had a message;
And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!
Preachers preached from the Bible;
Singers sang from the heart;
And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!
A new birth meant a new life;
Salvation meant a changed life;
Following Christ led to eternal life.
Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;
Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;
Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;
And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!
Laws were based on the Bible;
Homes read the Bible;
And churches taught the Bible.
God was worshiped;
Christ was exalted;
And the Holy Spirit was respected..
Church was where you found Christians
on the Lord's day, rather than in the garden,
on the creek bank, on the golf course,
Or being entertained somewhere else.
I still like the old paths the best!
'The Old Paths' was written by a retired minister who lives
In Tennessee.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - "Presidential IQ Report"
Since 1984, the National Institute for Social Research has reported
it's research findings to business, government, educational and
selected community leaders on each new president, which includes the
famous "Presidential IQ Report", along many other report. The updated study was
commissioned on February 1, 2007 by the Excelsior Foundation and released on
November 4, 2007.
According to statements in the report, there have been twelve
presidents over the past 50 years, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush
who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they
alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with
clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then
scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.
The study determined the following IQs of each president, accurate
to within five percentage points:
147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 .. Harry Truman (D)
122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)
126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R)
121 .. Gerald Ford (R)
175 .. James E. Carter (D)
105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)
132 .. George HW Bush (R)
182 .. William J. Clinton (D)
098 .. George W. Bush (R)
or, in IQ order:
182 .. William J. Clinton (D)
175 .. James E. Carter (D)
174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)
155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R)
147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 .. George HW Bush (R)
132 .. Harry Truman (D)
126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
121 .. Gerald Ford (R)
105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)
098 .. George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ
of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155.
President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with
an IQ of 98. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of
156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President
Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ
of 126. No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual IQ,
176.
Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President GW
Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command
the English language in public statements, his limited use of
vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for
other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements, and an absence
of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis.
The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to
arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and
voice stress confidence analysis.
"All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under
their belt, and most had written several white papers during their
education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Armstrong
said. "He has no published works or writings, so in many ways that
made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We had to rely more
heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."
The National Institute for Social Research, located in Washington,
D.C., is a "think tank" consisting of highly respected and credentialed historians,
psychiatrists, sociologists,scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among
their ranks are Dr. Joseph G. Marsh, world-renowned sociologist, and
Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist.

Something to think about???
Subject: WWII Analogy
During World War II -- the Japanese developed a way to demoralize the American forces.
Psychological warfare experts developed a message they felt would work..
They gave the script to their famous broadcaster "Tokyo Rose" and everyday she would broadcast
this same message packaged in different ways,hoping it would have a negative impact on American GI's morale.
What was that demoralizing message?
It had three main points:
1. Your President is lying to you.
2. This war is illegal..
3. You cannot win the war.
Does this sound familiar?
Hillary, Harry, John, Teddy, Nancy, and etc. have picked up on the same message and are broadcasting it
on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. to our nation's citizens and our troops.
The only difference is that they claim to support our troops before they demoralize them.
Come to think of it, didn't Tokyo Rose tell the troops she was on their side, too?

When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.
No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea." Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was."
