Private companies profit from piracy - Dec 7 08

[nadeemstine]

It's a fact that Western white males go to Somalia and run this piracy network. British business interest is horrible! From reconstruction of Iraq to Libya, from Somalian piracy to narcotic trade..

[ozzypresident]

All they need is Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal on the Same ship. Theft proof ship I say..........

[phillusa]

Somalians are the least educated people in the world they will always be pirates. you can try to teach them things but it won't help.Brute force is all they know. And that is what they should get.

[420Tenke]

fuck that, give the people guns, kill off the spooks,

[sircesare]

People and the Media need to show why the pirates are there they are protecting their damn coast line if u do not want to be kidnaped or ur shit stolen DO NOT go by their shoreline!!! THE MAJORITY OF SOMALIANS DO NOT WANT YOU ANYWHERE NEAR THEIR SHORELINES, unless u have papers to be there given to u by the somalian Gov...

[HeartlessEnigma]

@sircesare I'd love to know what world you're living in. get real.

[sircesare]

@HeartlessEnigma im sure you have never been there thats why you don't know, but like they use to say a well traveled person is a well educated one...

[Baseshocks]

@sircesare yes hijacking commercial cargo vessels in international waters is because they are protecting their shorelines...............

[sircesare]

@Baseshocks You dont walk through a bad neighborhood at night and expect to walk out with your wallet and your nice shoes do you?

[Baseshocks]

@sircesare first you say they are protecting their coast line by cargo ships passing by they you make this reference? what point are you trying to make?

[koponenii]

most of those ships are carrying pure crap for markets, i bet 80 % of those could sink and no1 cares.But if some poor who been robbed systematicly by other covernments trys get something back its terrible piracy.´Would u be happy in Somalia as native ? i would just sink those ships after warning.

Why its not in public what these shit boats are loaded? Because its so insane! globalisation:enjoy or cry and enjoy.

[grajeboys]

kill the pirates, they are the scum of the earth.....

[salawaat1]

@grajeboys GOOF JEW KKK

[Meddf]

Arrrrrgh

[sherifsmother]

you know, looking for the reason, would be the best thing, like how why the somalians don't have jobs, and the reason is the big countries who stole all the fish from these waters, the surrounding countries who dissolved their goverment, and the wate dumping. no its better so say these people are bad and they have no reasons to behave like this i don't say they are right. but i say, solve their problem and your problems willbe solved.

[oamaer]

The piracy problem in the Indian ocean is luck of employement, stability in Somalia, war for 19 years and the Internationals ought to act now

[MaritimeSecurity]

The man is wrong, pirates will kill..they have and will again. sending a unarmed security is like sending someone with a knife to a gun fight..

[jiggaboohoo]

no its not , its like sending somebody unarmed to a gun fight.......

[ydlomax]

Allahu akbar! Eid Mubarak!!!!!!!!

[Richardgwm]

I blame the parents.

[SREEJIS12]

Make money out of anything you can.

[BTMSJunk]

why is everything getting privatized

[afrircans1970]

"The Pirates don't want to kill anyone"......OH YES, I'M SURE THEY WOULD PREFER SOMEONE (ANYONE) JUST SEND THEM A CHECK!

Disgusting human garbage. Why NOT kill them? They would kill anyone with money. THEY would harm a human being for greed! Perhaps that's one of the best reason to protect oneself w/ violence in turn.....Harm a man for silver; receive lead for your ethics.

[negkreyol21]

cenical way of thinking many of the pirates dont harm their captives which we do know for a fact because if they were too then would have met a violent response which ur side is advocating there tying to make a livin rather than kill them find a way to help them so they dont end up doing that

[conduit99]

Hey afrircans1970 (aka House Negro). Do you think my people (Somali Coast Guard-Pirates) r doing this for fun? Do u know that Foreign (mostly European) ships have been illegally fishing in Somali Waters (& attacking Somali fishermen) as well as dumping Toxic Waste in Somali Waters since 1991?Which has caused illness & death amongst the local people. It's all documented.Not to mention the U.S. & Western direct participation in & sponsored Murder in my country since 2006 which has killed 100,000+.

[yorkcoadam]

yeah illegal fishing and toxic waste are big problems in Somalia. The non stop rampant violence and infighting are minor problems.

lets find a way to blame Europe and the US for Somalia.

Maybe if we send in the UN to help keep the peace and distrubute food. No wait they tried that and that didn't work.

How about you just continue to kill yourselves off and when your done we can start over again with people not set on killing each other.

I am in favor of a pirate bounty.

[ikran2007]

these eu countrys should fist stop fishing illagel in somali water before taking about piracy.

[BruceCampbellFTW]

Modern age Robin Hood.

[bluesbegedel]

More than like a modern day Blackbeard to me.

[awerner2007]

ya robin hood was bullshit

[sean3459]

I wanna be a pirate they are the great old school rockers

[jnycnuk]

doesn't sound to difficult. identify a pirate ship. blast it out of the water. no more problem.

[4lKhidr]

this is why we need sharia.

[TraderNorton]

These negro thugs need to be exterminated.

[sourj]

governments cant stop few thugs?come on

[divinejudge1]

it is proof that governments need to fear people.

[TECHKLEC]

At least these mercenaries are going on the offense because there hasn't been much military action (with the exception of India) being accomplished.

[c141bstarlifter]

Governments don't want to stop it. To much money in it.

[divinejudge1]

yes it gives the Navys something to sit and watch. Right now a US Navy ship is watching (just watching) a Ukranian ship with nuclear cargo off the Somali coast.
