+column5 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 the people still have no money ... hrhrhrhr Neither do I, but I don't go out on the Mississippi conducting boarding actions.
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ok they are criminals, but you can`t compare any western country with somalia... no jobs, no economics or education.. the whole day nothing to do than useing drugs, runing around with AK and hunting big ships... (don`t take this to seriuos, somalia is far more complex than my summary) ;-)
serverandenforcer Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Didn't we deal with this sh*t 200 years ago? Yeah, except back then, we had a more "permanent" way of making sure the pirates we captured never returned to piracy
+column5 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah, except back then, we had a more "permanent" way of making sure the pirates we captured never returned to piracy There is a lot to be said for not have a reporter attached to your hip 24/7... ok they are criminals, but you can`t compare any western country with somalia... You obviously haven't been to Detroit...
+DWCAce Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Didn't we deal with this sh*t 200 years ago? Yeah, looks like they just set up shop around the corner....
GwynO Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 You obviously haven't been to Detroit... ..or Sparkbrook Birmingham :ph34r: In the old days they used to stick their heads on poles in the Thames as a warning to sailors what the British courts would do to them. Now we would probably give them asylum, a council flat, community centre, mosque and free hip operation for their elderly neighbours donkey on the NHS.

+pcpilot Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 All I gotta say is about frikken time. They shoulda been on those pirates from day one. I saw what the malaysian and thai pirates did to the vietnamese boat people back in the early '80's; it wasnt nice.
+Dave Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 There is a lot to be said for not have a reporter attached to your hip 24/7... You obviously haven't been to Detroit... You know it brother.
Jeremiah Weed Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 You know it brother. Aren't there more Somalians in Detroit than actually in Somalia? I think they come for the weird rave thing going on in the walkways between concourses at the airport.
charlielima Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Didn't we deal with this sh*t 200 years ago? Affirm! Good to see we can still do it. :ph34r: CL
+JediMaster Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I'll bet not one of them is as good a pirate as Capt Jack Sparrow!
+Typhoid Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 The Russians got into the game too!! --------------------- Separately, the Russian navy said Friday its nuclear-powered heavy missile cruiser Peter The Great detained 10 Somali pirates closing in on an Iranian-flagged fishing trawler. Russian military prosecutors were questioning the men, who were caught on Thursday with rifles, grenade-launchers, illegal narcotics and a large sum of money, the navy said. ---------------------- although bit "overgunned" perhaps?
kct Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) All I gotta say is about frikken time. They shoulda been on those pirates from day one. I saw what the malaysian and thai pirates did to the vietnamese boat people back in the early '80's; it wasnt nice. It was never pretty. Took a lot of hassling and lot more to get everyone to work, and unfortunately, back then our navy (like rest of the military that time) were too under-equipped to do anything, plus everyone have no idea what was going on. Added is the fact that the boat people is entirely another problem we're facing (most people think that this country is a safe haven, and by that time massive policy changes were being introduced).

+Ruggbutt Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 It's a shame the pirates didn't fight to the death.........
