Coral Hind October 15, 2011 Share October 15, 2011 I agree, he's an idiot. It's sad but some people watching that will not know any better and now they will go around spreading bad information as if it was gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k October 16, 2011 Share October 16, 2011 I can see the man's point. Sustainable collection practices are the way that this hobby will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite October 16, 2011 Share October 16, 2011 I've seen that video, led there by some website, can't remember what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 October 16, 2011 Share October 16, 2011 He might have a point, but misinformation is a serious detriment to protective measures. Sheesh, it would be like having your President have an affair and then lie about it to everyone's faces - can you imagine how much that would undermine the credibility of the United States and turn us into an into an international laughing stock while he was in office?

Sure, the man's point is valid but the problem is in how he tries to explain the point. It shows he knows very little about corals, algae, and yellow tangs.

Actually that I could understand, not excuse, but understand. Many leaders today, in Italy, Israel, France and elsewhere have politicans who lied about sexual affairs. Politicans crave attention, and ultimately these are viewed and judged as only actions of one man, not the entire government. ---- But imagine if a leader lead the entire country into a WAR on false pretenses? Like WMD that are a claimed to threaten our security that actually don't exist in that country. Now THAT would set our country back for decades, undermine belief that our government is honest with us, and forcing us into debt and near economic collapse. Imagine how horrible it would be if THAT happened? Don't you agree? Edited October 16, 2011 by davidm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daharley October 16, 2011 Share October 16, 2011 I agree especially since the intelligence for that war and the policies that led to the collapse all came from the same guy who lied to everyones face:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind October 17, 2011 Share October 17, 2011 Here is another for you. A co-worker sent this to me earlier in the year. She is very vocal about how she hates the fact that I have saltwater tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 October 17, 2011 Share October 17, 2011 My bad, it was meant to be a joke, hence the smiley. Politics don't belong on the boards and this was not meant to be a political assertion, just a joke about people who speak without knowing the facts.

Integral9 October 17, 2011 Share October 17, 2011 I think Bob needs to stop using the industrial grade O2 in his scuba tanks. The excess sulfur is killing his brain. Based on these videos: There is only 1 kind of algae and all algae is the same. Yellow tangs are chickens; presumably because they are yellow? He is a cowboy because he's lived in Hawaii for 25 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheTerps October 17, 2011 Share October 17, 2011 OMG too funny, when I watched the first vid I had no idea that was Snorkel Bob, Ive read his rants and everything but never seen him before. Needed a good laugh today, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
