involves regulation.

One friend posted a pic of a supertrawler with it's hugre freakin' net full of fish and commented how disgusting that was and that someone needed to do something to shut that down. Another right-wing friend chimed in that some countries just don't have any rules.

I countered with, "by rules, I think you mean regulations Jeff. It's okay, you can say it! LOL Commercial fishing needs to be regulated for the benefit of everyone." Can you say STFU? That was the end of it. Not a peep, other than a couple other people liking my post. I'm still chuckling about that one. I love a good unconditional surrender!
