It's not only government that's a driving force. Business and technology/progress probably more so. Add to that private interest groups get to lobby and bring forth court cases that'll be a sure bet to rule many times in their favor. As much as some folks go with the 'slippery slope' with the gun issue, one could use 'slippery slope' with regards to having been given an inch, as in the original intent of the 2nd amendment and its being of its time, and then taking it a a mile to where it's interpretation stands today.

Okay, I get where ya coming from

That's exactly the thing I'm railing against! But somehow I think you've twisted cause and effect.... cart before the horse.... here. Quite frankly I'm a bit befuddled how you managed to do it and come to your conclusion. Well, that's rhetorical. I do. Its just ass backwards is all. No disrespect. :-D Wait, hang on a sec, maybe I can explain... those things that you say comedians and other assorted show biz people are losing their jobs over because they are being spared from mockery. Well, they USED to be able to be joked about BEFORE the pc police came along. So you see they are spared. And because that's happening NOW, you want to eliminate ALL groups from being joked about?

I would disagree in general. How would one know any one group is getting left out of being 'skewered' unless they've heard every comedy act in the world. Reminds me of this for some reason. Like when someone always winds up complaining about some social activist (take your pick, tho' its usually about animal rights because its the easiest concept).... 'how come you don't do something about helping people before animals'? Well... its because each person usually has only enough time and energy for any one particular cause that most appeals to them and can't be solving all the worlds problems. Plus, there are other people in the world taking up the mantle for those other causes. IOW, Maybe any comedian or comedy show you've seen hasn't been able to lambaste every single thing on the planet, but am pretty sure that more or less every one and every thing does get made fun of. ;) I generally type in a stream of thought manner. Believe me, I've been sparing you a lot of ...... "-----"..........."-------"........."----" ;-D

This is the 'If I told you to jump off the brooklyn bridge, etc etc' thing. Yeah, Ray's as responsible as Winslow. If it weren't for events enacted by Ray... He's basically a co-conspirator. That aside, the plots in this show really stretch credulity.

Who told Miley Cyrus she could sing? Her vibrato also sounds like she's attached to one of those old reciprocating belt fat messaging machines

I would think boat lines, especially on large tonnage vessels, are not something you can slice through easily. They perhaps could spend a half hour trying to cut through but would give up long before. Think about the strength of even that thinner white line having to pull that tender along given the the tenders weight, resistance of water times how fast the yacht is dragging it along

Don't know if you read, but I did wind up resolving it (for me) as a real dangerous event. It's just that, as far as 'reality shows' go, I don't trust them for the time of day. ;-D I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there wasn't an actual 'professional' staff that actually did shit, while we get staged screwed up events with the 'cast', lol

I'm cryin' fowl on this whole episode

That'll work. Now it'll be cast members stabbing each other every other episode. ;-D

In the olden days wings were the garbage part of the bird they couldn't give away till hot wings became a thing and they became the price of gold

Screw Publix... was buying 10lb bag leg/thigh quarters around six and a half bucks walmart! lol.

Take it this Kari Klein is the let them eat cake lady?

know why I like chicken? cuz it tastes like chicken!

Does anyone else see the resemblance between Kate and Leela from Futurama if Kate had only one eyeball in the middle of her head?

That guy's brother. He looks like porky pig. They don't look alike. Half brothers? And if they were born and raised in alabama, where's their twang?

Read my last post. However, weren't they in the process of getting ready to release the line to the tender in the first place? It's a bit confusing though. After the incident, Lee has Ashton follow in the tender because the swells too dangerous. But initially they were near shore and the water looked perfectly fine. So while they were near the shore were they trying to untie the tender or haul it in? Edit: Ok, later in the show you can see the white line tied to the brown on the swim deck

Ah ha! Taking notice of the new deck guy up top releasing a brown line then following Ashton proceeding to go overboard, the brown on the deck farthest to the right of the frame I can barely make out what looks like the white line right along side it! The white line is probably secured to the brown line somewhere. Perhaps like the heavy ropes ships use when docking have a thin rope attached to pull them. Case solved I guess then! Maybe I'll look for a 1080p version for better resolution

Ah, but that's no arbiter. Its an immediate reaction to an obvious dangerous situation. He hadn't witnessed it himself (yet) I'm ahead of myself.... got to watch the whole thing..... right... now, heh

You mean on that WWHL show? Guess its a matter of perception then because I didn't see him near tears. I saw his reaction as being that man overboard never happened to him before and its that which he took very seriously..... because of course it could have ended differently Well, I'll get on with watching the rest of the show now BTW, was it my imagination or did the preview last week made it look like Rhylee was about to take her top off in order to jump in for the rescue?

I was looking for that the white tow line to obviously continue back behind Ashton and back along the deck. That would be the only thing that makes sense. Going frame by frame, I haven't seen that. So far to me it looks like the white rope ends at Ashton. Unless the white line is actually part of the brown line.... you know, intertwined with it for some purpose. That makes sense. Have no problem proven wrong. Just looks fishy on the face of it

I didn't read through this yet because I'm just at the very beginning of the episode and I don't want spoilers so excuse if this has been mentioned. I'm looking at Ashton going overboard. There's a white line that goes to to the tender. However, it seems to end where Ashton is holding onto it.... with the hand down by his ankle/foot. So there's two lines here...the white one and the brown one. I'm slomo'ing this. The only thing I can figure is the white line that is connected to the tender, has to be tied somewhere along the brown line.... or not at all actually... and obviously not at an end of the brown line. But why would that be? What purpose would that serve? What it looks like to me is that it wasn't the brown line that caught his leg and pulled him overboard, rather it was the white line he had in his hand and didn't let go of. The brown line followed him into the water because he had grabbed it as well and you can also plainly see the loop around his leg was very loose and open.... not a death grip by any form of the imagination. What I think is that Ashton got pulled off the boat because he held onto the white tow line and didn't let go fast enough. His foot and other hand pretty much just dragged the brown line into the water with him. It also looks like a 'noose' couldn't have formed around his ankle either once out in the water if you look carefully. How the heck can that rope be pulling him off when its in front of his leg, the loop opening behind his leg and all the rest of the rope is extending back on the yacht? I'm not saying they faked him going overboard. He did it himself by not letting go of the white line fast enough. The brown line had nothing to do with it. The fake drama bit was with the production tarting up the danger he was in. Ashton made a yelp which they played over several times. He was fine.

I get it. It's not something I'd joke about in real life either. You also expressed yourself fine after that first sentence.

In some past season, Lena was gonna bail on Ray or something. Ray reminded her that he basically pulled her out from the gutter she was living in and also sprung her from prison because, iirc, she had beat up a girlfriend of hers to within an inch of her life or something. Oddly though, I think last episode Winslow asked her what she was in jail for and Lena responded with some rather minor offense
