quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Okay, what part of ransoming ships for cash is wrong. The pirates do not kill anyone, just demand money. at least they dont have the money to pick up a used Tango or Yankee class diesel electric sub from the russians.... These guys are excellent shots... they filled a US passenger liner with AK47 rounds and didn't kill anyone. Hey is your kid thinking of a cruise through the Gulf of Aden soon? Damn I’ll bet she or he will have fun dodging bullets…but don’t worry they never kill anyone they're great shots. Butch Butch, ever heard of SARCASM...... Sure I used it above...[image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m9.gif[/image]...I was just reinforcing your comment...with more sarcasm

WTF. That is not anything I posted. quote: ORIGINAL: MrQwerty quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf What do we do with the drunken pirates, What do we do with the drunken pirates, earlyy in the morning. Well in answer to this problem I suggest we stick an anti piracy hologram on the side of our boats. It be the obvious solution.[8\|] These people should have asked for more money for that oil tanker a couple of weeks back considering its cargo. They could have even blackmailed us by threatening to scupper it and cause untold pollution, these people are clearly not evil geniuses like me and clearly then need to research Die hard 1 through 4 to improve their approach next time.

Personally, considering the availability of surplus military sea going vessels.... I think it would be lucrative to start a business escorting vessels in those areas of questionable safety... Say, for 15% of the stated value of the cargo....

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub Hi blacksword...I'm not sure what you mean. If you are referring to the actions of the US then yes I agree we the people are responsible for the actions of our government. But unlike the Somalians we at least try to change our government if we believe they are wrong. Many of us have died in horrific conflicts to do this in the past...and of late we have voted our majority views for change. Butch Hi. Have you seen what sometimes happens to people over there that disagree with the government or try to change it?

Have you seen what sometimes happens to people over there that disagree with the government or try to change it? Thank God my family is not there. But many oppressed peoples of this world have risen up and overthrown their oppressers. They are worthy of their prosperity and freedoms. Those that don’t have the backbone to do it will have to live miserable lives…and deserve too. I understand the above is easy to say…especially when I’m setting in my nice safe living room. I hope I would have the backbone...but my courage is not important… it is the will of the majority of the people to throw off their oppressors. It is the way of the world for successful civilizations. Butch
