Pirates......

[JLM]

I don't ****ing believe it. Not one of you actually talked about the root causes behind Somali piracy. That country is on the brink...but you're here spouting fascistic nonsense about waging all-out war on those evil pirates.

For shame people.

I guess when you don't take the hint war is a possibility. :lol:

I have to wonder why anyone would transport a boatload of Bibles, unescorted, into a region known to be frequented by militant Islamics and pirates.

Whut were thay thinkin'?

Must have figured they were going to put the fear of God into them. :lol:

There is an unwritten rule in world travel; Never get further than yelling distance from the other white people.

Heh heh heh True say!

There's all the explanation any sane reader needs to know to come to the reason for these twits untimely departure. I hope their families are picking up the costs for their err rescue. I never wonder anymore at the arrogance of these bible packing idiots who think the much vaunted American know how and the word of an invented god whom they are barely aware of themselves can possibly make a difference in the lives of the desperately poor. Millions are raised and squandered by these wannabe saviors. I would like to hear the conversations among Somalians as to the sanity of these useless eaters. Imagine delivering bibles with a sea going pleasure vessel.

I'm not big on Bible thumpers myself but I don't think we want to lose sight of who the real villains are here. :smile:

Wasn't that long ago when pirates ran the seas all up and down the east coast with Newfoundland being their home base.

"One of the most powerful and successful pirates of the seventeenth century arrived in Newfoundland during the summer of 1611. His name was Peter Easton and he has always been a folk hero in Newfoundland. A monument to him, erected by the Canadian government, stands at Harbour Grace today. Although the pirates had no sympathy for either poor or rich, they spent money freely and in this way some of their loot got into the hands of the poor. In any case, Easton was a symbol to them of the possibility of rebelling against a generally oppressive authority."

Yeah....few people realize that many of those romantic place names (Heart's Desire, for instance) are actually the names of pirate ships.

Nor that many of the crews striking fear in the hearts of merchants throughout the Atlantic.....were made up in large part of Newfoundlanders.

Nor that pirate ships were run in a surprisingly democratic fashion........

Interesting stuff.

Hey Colpy. Buy a boat and go ransack the shhitheads sailing up from the Hamptons. Enjoy life a little.

 

[darkbeaver]

Just like the good old days matey.

 

[petros]

Why not? Some of those steak and lobster cruises could pay pretty good.

And pirate wenches and barrels of rum. North Atlantic is too cold though.

Colpy's Privateers

are they Muslims sailing up from the Hampton's?????

 

[petros]

These are the shhitheads that just robbed North Americans of their life savings and homes to the tune of TRILLIONS.


You want them to be Muslim yet too?


You can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

[mt_pockets1000]

Pirate wenches! Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum was just another term for a drunken four way.

 

[petros]

It'll be pipe wrenches until you get a good boat.

First you take out the godless then worry about the rest.
