[QUOTE="Dove, post: 802007, member: 535"] I would even argue back in the days of the Titanic, people in general had better character and were more likely to put another's life above their own. Where men were ready to die to protect women and children. My favorite historic fact about the sinking of the Titanic is the musicians who stood there and played to keep the vibe calm while women and children were being put in boats. Imagine your husband or father putting you on a life boat and telling you it's gonna be okay and he will meet up with you....you all knowing damn well you will never see him again and having no choice but to leave because you have your child. I'm sure many childless women refused to leave their men. I can't even imagine. And once the men playing music through these heart wrenching scenes knew they were fucked.....they just kept right on playing until they died. They played "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as their last song. I don't know why I find that so moving but I do. Shame on these wealthy jerks for trying to disturb that grave yard for nothing more than amusement. [/QUOTE]
