- b112 3y agoHow do you know it wasn't a green cruise vessel? One with filters, or storage tanks. Do you know? Do you? Or is it a presumption? (Googling now to find out if this even exists, doesn't remove the presumptive nature of things.)
- jzb 3y agoIf you have to search to see if the Devil’s Advocate alternative you’re trying to gotcha OP on, who is being presumptive? Maybe you could’ve searched first? The vast majority of cruises are pretty shitty for the environment and treatment of people. Also tax avoidant. People just really don’t want to hear that so they can keep doing them and not think about the down sides.

- lostlogin 3y agoArgh, I was. Thanks.

My point had to do with the extreme accusatory nature of the post, without data to back it up. My post was absolutely the reverse of presumptive, for I asked is someone was being so, not asserting that they were.
- kergonath 3y agoA green cruise ship is like a green aircraft or a green car: it does not really exist. Just building it is already costly, and so is operating it. Filters and tanks are just shifting the problem, as well. But that’s beside the point anyway, as it was just raised as an ad hominem argument against the guy who wanted websites to work on poor connections, and rightly so.
