Mod: This is from a well-known fake news website .....
Indeed it is ..... but if anyone had been paying attention, what they reported in this instance was true.
So no justification for deleting the subsequent posts on the thread.
So a disreputable and fundamentally sh*t website publishes "the truth" once and all is forgiven?
Who posted the link, calling it "news" anyway?
Spare us. You're being played.
I think you missed jack's point or interpret his post differently. He seems to be suggesting that since the statement is true, the subsequent posts are also legitimate and should be retained rather than cancelled. I do not see where he is saying readers can now trust this agency to be a reliable source of news at all times.
Yes.
I guess it takes a bit of wisdom to get what is not a particularly difficult point.
ps it doesn't take too much nounce to work out who reported this.
OK, so now there's two being played.
Is that called a doette?

Most ships are built in China, Greece, and Germany, with a 20-30 year envisaged life span. Interesting that two of the Countries are in the EU.
Most ships end up in India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan, after their 25 plus years, only to be scrapped / decommissioned, and arguably recycled.
A few questions:
1.Do those countries building the ships really care where the ships will end up and or how they will be scrapped / decommissioned after the ship life span. The Answer is NO
2.Do those countries building the ships always use environmentally friendly materials and components, to build the ships. The Answer is PROBABLY NO or NOT ALWAYS or that ECONOMICS prevail over Environment.
3.Do the people going on Cruises Ship Holidays actually care about how / what the ship was made of and or where the ship will end up at the end of its life span, when they book their cruise holiday. The Answer is PROBABLY NO. But some of those same holiday makers will profess to being Environmentalists at heart. Ask each holiday maker to pay an extra $100 "DECOMMISSIOING TAX"* towards the scrapping of the ship 25 years down the road, and see what they say
4.Does anyone ask or know or care, where the recycled steel from the ships ends up, what products it goes into. Does anyone look or even care. Or what it really costs to recycle the ship. The Answer is NO.
5. Does any Government or anyone have a interest in or consider the welfare of the people who have to scrap / decommission the ships. The Answer is PROBABLY NO.
The world ship building (and others) has a cycles of BUILD, SELL, SCRAP, RE-SELL and BUILD again, using poverty slave and child labour and the likes. It is not unique to the ship building industry and applies to the majority of the worlds manufacturing. It perpetuates WASTE production, so as to continue indefinitely. The final or end result / cost of a manufactured product (after its lifetime) is very rarely considered in the commercial viability of any Product, because us as the consumers don't want to pay for it, up front.
70 Years ago they built Fridges to last 50 years, my mom bought one. I think is was a Kelvinator fridge and you couldn't kill it. Now Companies build fridge's to self destruct or fail so as to cost too must to repair after 7-9 Years.
Millennials, Generation Z have changed many World Manufacturing Industries and now only look at the Purchase Price of a Products with a mindset of Build, Sell and Dispose off after a limited time, only to then have to throw away and buy again. These generations for whatever reasons, are not interested in keeping products for long periods of time.
The Baby Boomer generation was more responsible in this regard, as our generation built things to last and keep.

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
