I find it most interesting that the so called libs join the jingos on this thread.
Perhaps a little google as to why the "pirates" are pirates?



Who gives a fuck? They're kidnapping and murdering innocent people. Kill every one of the cocksuckers.


Isn't that pretty much what king george said about washington, adams and jefferson?

They may very well have, but that doesn't mean they were correct. Frankly, I don't see any comparison. These guys have a lot more in common with the James and Younger Gang than the Founding Fathers. I understand they've had terrible lives, and perhaps been driven to this by circumstances beyond their control, but it doesn't make any difference. I'm not saying i don't care about what happened to them, because i do - but in the end it doesn't matter. Like the James Gang, they're kidnapping and murdering innocent human beings who had nothing to do with what happened to them or their country, and they have to be stopped by whatever means necessary. The only way that works is to kill them.

Well,  thank you! But with all due respect, I think my position on this is entirely rational as well. Coldhearted? Yes, absolutely. But rational nevertheless. What else is there to do with these people?

Summary execution for pirates has been a recognized hazard for the profession for hundreds of years. May be a good thing that some still agree.

Thank you again; I'm genuinely flattered.

But again, it doesn't matter why they're pirates, any more than it mattered why the James and Younger boys took to robbing banks and murdering bankers. Whatever it was that drove them to this, they have to be stopped. Innocent people have the right to travel on the world's oceans without being  kidnapped and murdered. I have to ask you again, what alternative could you suggest that would spare the lives of the pirates while at the same time protect the lives of people sailing in that part of the world? Because if you've got a better idea, I'm all ears. From where I sit, this is the only viable solution.

From what I have gleaned from the net these people seem to have a legitimate gripe against the governments that the ships attacked are related to.
They have sought redress and have been dismissed.
When our founding fathers sought redress from the crown and were dismissed they took up arms and went after the assets of the crown. We called our pirates "commerce raiders".
How is that functionally different?
From my post you are aware that I favor the rule of law...also from my post you are aware that I am not above civil disobediance if my issues are not addressed.
This thing will only escalate. The pirates are getting a few bux in their kitty and it wont be long before their equipment is upgraded.
Ask popeye if the coast guard had any boat that could catch a drug runners picklefork.
Now imagine one of those offshore racers armed.
One has to wonder if the cost of fighting them might exceed the cost of remediation.

Perhaps try changing the word pirate to terrorist and then define the outcome, for it seems terrorists, those who do what they do for political aim are not tolerated in this modern world. If it is these people become pirates for political aim, then they are terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Either way, terrorist or pirate they in what they do is wrong and illegal, they should be aware of the consequences of their actions if caught, and accept their punishment like, like er, pirates, or terrorists, whichever they prefer. Death has always been a possibility with adventure.

So what you are saying is that both your government and my government are terrorist and they should be sumarily executed.
If you are going to define terrorism why would you leave out state sponsored terrorism.
What were the people of afghanistan or iraq doing to the u.s. and yet we have virtually bombed them back into the stone age.
I understand there is an open warrant for the arrest of bush&co. in the hague.

Thank you Aneirin, where is the "verification police" when you need them?
Who the fuck says shit like this?

Has anyone verified this yet?

Hey Panda we tend to agree around this place more often than not.
I don't really "agree" with what the Russians did, BUT live by the sword, die by the sword.
If you can't deal with the consequences don't get get into the game.
When you decide to become a "pirate" or any other type of criminal don't be afraid of what
may come your way.
You may think you are a big dog in the world, but there is always a bigger dog that can come your way.
It looks like they ran into "bigger dogs" than they were, I was really surprised they were taken alive in the first place.

Regardless of right or left ... lets look at the truth of this statement ... and understand ...

when you get hostages back ... with overwhelming force ... and let the pirates go ... you are ensuring .. they will be back at it ... with less fear than they had before.

Why wouldn't they?

Nothing to lose ... and lots to gain.

Hey PandaMan, I used to give "props" to  the bad guys that refused to be taken alive in the old days.
I love old movies, and how about the famous line, "They won't ever take me alive!"
We just don't see enough of that these days.

I rarely, rarely read much less respond to anything you type, for a variety of reasons.
In fact, I am a very selective reader.
So if I don't respond to you, its usually cause I don't read the shit you type.

I love a good debate or conversation, but I have learned to skip over/not read the posters, who I feel only want to name call, belittle, redicule, argue/fight, or debase.
WTF are you talking about here?
Are you saying they were not pirates?
Take that attitutde somewhere else buddy, I didn't say shit about snuffing anyone out.

So you are advocating that the death penalty be applied without benefit of a trial?


Difficult issue... the pirates do not belong to any sort of government and are operating on their own authority.  They cannot be tried under the laws of their country, and since we are not at war with Somalia, they are not POWs.


It's even more difficult when one considers that the "Pirates" are responding to years of illegally dumped toxic waste, including radioactives, which not only killed fish, but killed women and children. And the response of the west, and the UN, has been to turn a blind eye to Italian criminals (among others) who did the dumping.

That's the part of the story that Faux doesn't report. Are they justified? I don't know. But I understand their actions, if all the dumping and poisoning has indeed occured.

By the way how is your spanish comming?

I simply asked why are these particular pirates being pirates?

Are you saying they were not pirates?

Perhaps if you were to read what I actually post instead of what you want to hear you would have a little better understanding of my question.
