C'mon. You're really overreaching here. That is, unless you nit pick EVERYBODY on punctuation, spelling and grammar.

And if you do, why? It adds nothing to a debate.

I'm not nitpicking (not nit picking lol). Another poster, Aylalou, called the OP a bigot for calling Somalis trashy. Aylalou was then attacked as "being for the pirates" and for misrepresenting what the OP said - others said he was calling pirates trashy, not Somalis. I was simlpy defending Aylalou.

The way the OP wrote his first post he called Somilis trashy. It seems to me that's exactly what he meant. At the end of the post he said we need to stop the influx of these "subhumas" into our country. Since I'm not aware of a pirate immigration problem and since Somali refugess are the largest African refugee group in the US it only makes sense he was calling Somalis subhumans.

Who? Ay-who? Ay-lulu? Ay-lala? He sounds like he's part of the problem! He's a 'pirate protector' just like you!

As for you, you need a kitten in your life...

These pirates are nothing but criminals. All ships should have a couple of 50 cal machine guns aboard to shoot across the pirates bow as a warning to stay away or shoot to kill as the case may be.
Problem is that they have been getting away with the piracy and are of course getting bolder every day.
If someone with a stick threatens me and I come back with a larger stick he will back off or quit.
The ships are on the open international water ways and should be able to defend themselves.

What the hell is that suppose to mean? Maybe you need some Seroquel or something along that line.

I think we should bomb the coast of Somalia. Or at least mine the shore to contain the filthy beasts.

You clearly have no understanding of international maritime law or the fact that most countries have laws against foreign ships and sailors bringing arms into their territorial waters. Many a sailor has been jailed for being armed in the wrong water.

We need to find the pirates bodies and demand ransom or we will:
1) Take said bodies and grind them up with both pig and dog bodies. (Muslim right? bury them with the unclean)
2) Dump said bodies into latrines in parks used by unusually high numbers of Jewish people.

This is indeed ironic.They didn't bail out their boat after they got their financial "bailout" and it sunk them.
Here, we give out "bailouts" and it's going to sink US.
