Because noticing gang violence obviously shows racist tendencies..... I'm not sure why you would jump to race. Is there something about those places we should know? Or would it be something politically incorrect for you to point out?

They fish like I do! You never know when one of those super fish will come out and you need an assault rifle and an RPG.

I go fishing a fair amount and have never found myself on a tanker holding hostages with a machine gun. Maybe I'm doing it wrong; these guys get millions and I'm left with just a few fish.

1) There are pirates around the world. It is a global problem.

2) The pirates of somalia are stealing shipments of weapons and humanitarian supplies, not "seafood supplies"

3) Some of our fishermen are dealing with hard times too. It hasn't made them into thieves and murderers.


Are the people where you are stupid enough to swallow this kind of bull crap?

1) Somalia is the recipient of human aid from the US, Europe and others.
2) Much of the aid doesn't get to the needy people because of the armed gangs.
3) In spite of being poor, almost everyone in Somalia, including 8 year old kids carry arms. Somalia exercises our second amendment better then the US. It is a dream come true for many Americans.
4) Like gangs in many cities of the US, young somali find in piracy a great occupation and a source of social bonding. They are bored and sizing foreign vessels cargo is a way to amuse themselves while making a buck or two.

Your rant in an effort to explain why the Somali fishermen have become pirates. The bottom line is that they are Pirates. Having a good reason to pirate does not mean they are not pirates. Also, for some reason they have all forgotten to mention anything about why they are pirating. People like you are the ones claiming they may have a legitimate reason. Apparently somebody forgot to tell them what their reasons are.
