Somali Pirates attack U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama - for 2nd time this year

Exactly. I know if anyone tried to rob me, I would hope they get locked up for a long while and I don't give a damn about 'poverty'. You don't threaten another person's life for money.

Last thing i'm going to say in this thread, i'd love to see anyone here try to last one month in somalia.

Not only have you dodged the issue left and right, you failed to put people on the spot. If I put forward a crap argument like "i'd like to see you last a month in Somalia", i'd make sure I didn't post in that thread anymore either...to save my dignity.

They aren't scumbags, they are desperate people who have -nothing-.

Honestly speaking here, those same guns/weapons that they're using to commit harmful acts towards innocent people, they can trade in for food and supplies. Instead they're stealing and taking lives.

 

Sorry, but i have to agree that even in desperation, doing things like that classify you as a scumbag.

Thank you. They must be getting money from somewhere and for all the money they spent for guns were instead spent on food to support themselves, that area would be far less turbulent than it already is.
