Too quiet? Too loud?

Ladies and Gentlemen. Loud boats? Come on. If a loud boat is your biggest problem of the day, count yourself lucky. There are far worse things in the world to deal with. There are people (millions of people) who don't know where or when they are going to get their next meal. It's easy to roll your eyes at my comments and simply dismiss them without a second thought but really, think about it for a second and then honestly tell me I'm wrong. Thank the Lord above that you are lucky enough to hear such a trivial problem. Besides it could be worse, you could have to fight through L.A. traffic everyday.

OK, I need help with this logic. Millions of people are starving so I should just live with obnoxiously loud boats? Come on now, I've thought about it and you're wrong. Problems fester and grow when you "ignore" them. Why there have been posts on this site where its apparent people think everyone else enjoys their loud boat and still probably think excessive noise (beyond the NH legal limit) doesn't bother anyone. Others post that switches should be allowed when you are in the Broads, the problem with that is that hundreds, if not over a thousand households are directly exposed to this noise, not a problem at legal levels but obnoxious at straight pipe levels. Its terrible that people are still starving in this day and age, but don't tell me to put up with excessive noise and smile because of it. Furthermore, loud boats are against the law.

Yeah , well now that the heat is over and the A/C off and the windows open , I'm surenaded by motorcycles. Keep in mind a street that's 50' from my house is a lot closer that most boats would be passing and the cycles a lot louder.
I realize it's part of life and I'm not mistaken , loud bike are against the law too.
