Pirates fire on US cruise ship in hijack attempt - Yahoo! News
what's with Somalia? What a nation of useless people.
Other then being attacked by Ethiopia,and us,and a box of pasta going for 5 dollars american.....................
you got it. It's a useless country. :thumb:
Its a country where people have next to nothing. They get desperate.
Its not like the UK where the government will subsidise every poor bugger with a begging bowl.
It's a libertarian paradise. I don't know why all the libertarians don't go and live there.
Well, I'd say a good number of them have speedboats, automatic weapons, rocket launchers and other explosives, and millions of dollars in cash for the last ship they ransomed off.Quote:

Great practice area for the navy or RAAf ,couple of jet fighters could have some fun taking out the pirate boats once and for all.
Set up a dummy cruise ship or a tanker full of sea water so it sits real low and there you go,target practice around a thing your not allowed to hit,what more could they possibly want?
After 93' edit- and that total hands tied behind the back debacle....dragging those spec ops and He-lo pilots through the streets,mutilating them and skinning the Pakistani soldiers......I did not care if they turned that whole place into a f!!!!!!!g parking lot!!!Washington Politicos should hang their heads in shame.You do not have to agree with the action but when they go in.....leave the handcuffs by the bed.
Then you end up having to run the country. At least iraq has oil. :)Quote:

Stick a sharpshooter (just one) on every cruise ship/oil tanker from now one so in the event they can take out the silly fuckers at will. Might sound like a pathetic attack but the upper decks of a cruise liner are littered with women and children.
Stick a sniper on the boats;)
Even better idea,dont run cruise ships through an area called the Pirate StraightQuote:

I love those stories fucking crazy these Somalia Pirates I read about them on the BBC alll the time. The British and American navies are both out there. The other day they hijacked a tanker that was carrying a quarter of the Saudi Oil Spply for one day. A whole quarter. I wonder if there is a black market for oil. It's crazy though people are paying ransoms they usually don't kill and it's making millionaires out of people in a country with no money or even a government.
so nothing happened. did the passengers make it back ok??
Pirates are cool...

You as always misunderstand what is actually going on it's not libertarianism it's a mish mash of tribes and warlords and therefore more along the lines of an anarchy.Quote:

Yep this is what happens when you give guns to people with the brains of an Lima Bean.Quote:

It'd be a great way to train the cadet pilots.Quote:

I think some of the shkps already have those Audio Cannons that incapacitate others if needed.Quote:

Facts and evidence clearly just don't matter to American conservatives and this is why your mass gayification has to happen. If Obama manages to fix the current mess we just can't take the risk that you nutjobs will go and vote for some nut like Sarah Palin, so we're going to have to turn you all gay. It's for your own good Lyle, and for the country's good too.
I don't like Sarah Palin buddy...I like Bobby Jindal, I would have rather Charlie Crist or Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee be McCain's VP choice but go ahead and spew more bullshit about how McCain would have been bad, we'll see how Obama can fuck things up
Things are already fucked up and will remain so for the forseeable future, no matte r what Obama does. We may yet face a decade-long Depression. But the guys you like are still advocating extending and continuing the policies that got us into the current mess.Quote:

He saved the US economy from hyperinflation, something caused by Nixon taking the dollar off the gold standard to inflate away the deficits he's rung up. We're in a similar situation now and if the current policies to end deflation tip us into hyperinflation you'd better pray whoever is president has the balls to do what Caret did. If he doesn't it doesn't bother me at all, your raging inflation is my record profits. But for people not working in the money industry seeing your savings eaten away and being unable to pay the bills is no fun at all.Quote:

Eventually you will. I remember you being unconcerned a year ago when I told you the financial system was going to melt down and you'd be paying a big chunk of your wages for the rest of your life to bail out socialist bankers. At some point in the future you'll have the misfortune to have to think to yourself, that English fucker was right. I always am you know.Quote:
