<p>the parents and the kids who haven’t been out to sea are so ignorant it is hilarious. many, if not all, have zero idea about the type of people and “activities” you encounter at sea its funny. yeah, do you think your son is gonna mention how the chief mate took him to a whorehouse, got blackout drunk, then slept with a hooker? i have personally witnessed a devout churchgoer and CFC allstar have his way with a girl at the 4 floors of whores in singapore, so don’t pretend it can’t be your son. merchant mariners are some of the most vile and foul creatures i have ever met, and what the majority of them enjoy doing is drinking and whoring. this is part of the package that comes with being a merchant mariner; you will be exposed to it whether you like it or not. sorry, but there is no bible study or CFC or someone to bake you cookies thursday night when you are feeling sad or had a hard day.</p>
