I don't think the media should be in the business of doxing random Twitter users, calling up their parents, then encouraging people to harass said American citizen until he's forced to delete his social media and change his phone number. Then to top it all off brag about doing all of this.Originally Posted by Suppa Hobbit Mage
I don't care what this person was saying. This isn't even "news" anymore, it's straight up harassment and activism.

I really hope they don't give the cruise industry a bailout.
No, I am not Drauz in game.
It looked more like a joke than anything else. I doubt he Androidpk'd him.

Why? Did you have a bad cruise or something?
Why would this industry, which employs a half a million people, be one industry that we shouldn't help recover, given how hard they have been hit by this?
Not to mention all the port towns that have businesses specifically built to support the people coming off the ships?

.Aside from the majority revenue generated by U.S. passengers, cruise lines are independent of the U.S. economy. Even though nearly 75 percent of passengers are U.S. citizens, “cruise line corporations and their ships are not traditionally American-owned or registered …” (Tomlinson, 2007)
Cruise line companies are not concerned about increasing minimum wage, rising insurance premiums, or higher corporate taxes. Cruise lines escape federal taxes and labor laws by registering their corporations and vessels in foreign countries [such as] Panama, Liberia, and the Bahamas. In fact, employees of cruise lines are often mistreated due to lackadaisical labor laws. Worst of all, employees will find little to no recourse pursuing litigation. Likewise, a U.S. citizen passenger faces the same predicament.
A vessel’s country of registration is commonly referred to as the “flag of convenience” (FOC). Flagging a ship under a foreign flag for the convenience of the cruise line is nothing new, nor is it rare. The majority of cruise ships today are registered to Panama, Liberia, or the Bahamas. It is important to pay close attention as many vessels within the same fleet are often registered to different countries. Carnival Corporation, for example, has flagged their cruise vessel Celebration under Panama and Destiny under the Bahamas. Cruise lines often avoid drawing attention to the FOC of by using the term “headquartered in Miami, Florida.” It is important to understand that while the majority of these cruise lines have their headquarters in Miami, they are not registered in the U.S. Thus, U.S. laws do not apply and passengers are at the mercy of maritime law.

Good point. If they are registered in our country, then we need to do our part. If they are registered in other countries, then those countries need to do their part.
You've changed my mind.

You got that from the tweet or is there a story?
From the tweet, it sounded like he was joking around.

There is a link to the story in his Tweet.
He called them, probably expecting them to be raging liberals ashamed that their conservative son supposedly wants them to die. Instead it looks like his parents and the man in question agree on pretty much everything. Both the man and his parents think Trump took too long to take action but all three agree that we need to get the economy open again soonish.
Joe Biden is being accused of sexual harassment from women and apparently his accusers are being dismissed as "Putin puppets."
So much for #MeToo.
Funny how the left thought #MeToo would bring down so many powerful Republicans but instead it mostly managed to only bring down powerful Democrats so they quickly swept #MeToo under the rug.
