No, I mean why would you even bring Somalian pirates up? I don't follow your logic here at all. Are you familiar with the term "Buzz Killington?"

Yep, irrelevant in this case. I think everyone understands that these "pirates" are not to be taken seriously.

When there is an outcry from the Somalian community, I guess we might want to talk about it. No one seems to be bothered at the moment.

Algia, I believe your comment should be moved to the Somalia City Data forum.

If you're being serious, then you're really looking over-analyzing Gasparilla.

It's no different than celebrating Halloween.

There is so much seriousness and heartbreak in the world, what's wrong with a little fun and silliness to keep balanced?

Why don't you take a chill-pill?
