  • ... a hose?

    A hose? Seriously?

    Does the US specifically want themselves to become a laughing stock?

    "Oh, we're the US, we don't defend ourselves because it invalidates other's human rights"

    Just shoot the scum, get it over with, stop them hurting others.

  • @amareto35 the Chinese are largely the ones overfishing other peoples waters. Not that Europeans arent too, but we cant blame whitey for everything.

  • why the hell are there so much commercials

  • Bring weapons to defend the ship (like the guy says @ 2:07 "Never give up the ship")

    And when countries ask "Do you have weapons, and if you do, you can't have this innocent right of passage" Just say no.

  • captian WARIYA is still great pirate

  • I think they should shoot first,with lethel force!!!!This would solve the problem pretty fast.

  • Jeff is so friggin hot!

  • Let me see, what is the difference with the past and now? Umm, you want a list? If you consider a sea captain who fights for a country under their flag and does things like take over ships that contain contraband per maritime law pirates, then, ,,,the Coastguard are pirates. Do you think Piracy is a term made up by news casters?

  • quote "Please do not let this be the new definition of "pirate," I won't stand for it. The youth of America needs at least one mythical villain archetype, don't confuse them any more. " endquote

    Get a life, maritime law says that stealing of vessels and their entire cargo is piracy which is WAY MORE than a small burglary or robbery.

  • They ARE pirates. They are the type of theives who steal your boat and then use it to do major armed robberies at sea. It is like being able to steal the etire stockroom of a Walmart or sometimes a car dealership at one time.
