Of course Huck, we must be PC.

Nitpicking is what I see here.

5 Somali pirates drown with ransom share
By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN, Associated Press Writer Mohamed Olad Hassan, Associated Press Writer Sat Jan 10, 2:47 pm ET

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Five of the pirates who hijacked a Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a $3 million ransom, a relative said Saturday, the day after the bundle of cash was apparently dropped by parachute onto the deck of the ship.

We need to end the influx of these subhumans into our country.
There's an influx of Somali pirates into the U.S?

Heh, heh. Trust me, they will end up migrating here. We already had a suicide bomber that left the states and blew himself up in Somalia. Just a matter of time before they start their Jihad here.

The Somali pirates aren't waging a religious war. Its plain thievery, they found a way to make a living in a country without laws. Otherwise they would not be releasing the crew and ships when ransoms are paid. THINK ABOUT IT. They are releasing ships and crew members when ransoms are paid. On land, while waiting for payment they even have cooks that can cook various types of cuisine. Jihadists won't do that for "infidels". Not all 1 billion muslims are terrorists.

Do you think every person in a Muslim country is a Jihadist hellbent on attacking America? 'Cause that's like a billion people or so.

This is the problem with latching on to single news stories to base your theories on.

Anecdotal evidence is gay.

Were the Saudis able to retrieve their ransom money? Hope so.

It just might be time to station troops on the commercial ships of the world or allow the Captain to own suitable weapons. Simply return to the armed merchantmen of the 15 to 18 hundreds. I am pretty certain a Harpoon missile launcher doesn’t take up that much room. I know a .50 cal machine gun dosen’t.

....Yes!!!!! And I would have a parrot sitting on my shoulder too....only............. it would have to be a fake/stuffed one because I gag really easy and it would kill the effect of me being a rough and tough pirate if I started gagging whilst robbing someone because my parrot pooped on my shoulder. "Gimme yer dub'loons there missy or I'll cut yer...What the??...GAGGGGGGGG ...GAGGGGGG,BAD POLLY!!!,NO NO....GAGGGG.....BAD BIRD !!!"....my life is not an easy one.
