Congratulations to Somali Pirates
- Thread starter GAMETHEORY
- Start date
The pirates are fishermen. So start here:
UN envoy decries illegal fishing, waste dumping off Somalia
How exactly do you make a living as a small fishermen when huge commercial fleets come through illegally fishing and dumping toxic waste that kills off the little income you were making?
On top of that, why is there no govt in place in Somalia? We are quick to "help" stabilize any country that has resources which we can exploit. Somalia has nothing we want so we let situations go unchecked. What happens in that type of lawless environment? People get their shit taken. Same reason the hood has been fucked up for 20 yrs straight and as soon as white folks even THINK about coming back... all of a sudden more resources are flooded to the schools and police force. Crime gets checked, streets get cleaned up. Why the fuck do yall act like shit aint what it is.
I'm no expert but its pretty easy to see what the situation is. Why am I gonna condemn the pirates without doing the same for the folks that helped fuck things up in the 1st place? Get to googling bitch.

They are not heroes or revolutionaries. The a punks. No different than a bunch of dudes running up in an retirement home stealing from the old people. The boat they usual attack have rules against weapons being on board. I say just change the rule and let them pack whatever they need to protect themselves from these dudes. The guys impact our economy. If a company has to pay these dudes it impact future plans. Plans that might allow you to continue working. All economy is tied together. So when these guys steal from a company they are stealing from us. Not to mention attacking an unarmed man with a gun is wack.
Don't worry after this all ships that are U.S owned and other ships from other countries are going to be allowed to carry arms only on the ships since they are technically on the soil of their prospective country while out at sea however when they dock in other countries they would have to leave the weapons on the ship locked up in a safe. No concealed weapons strictly MP5's, Rifles etc.
I respect the somali pirates they are just protecting their territory other countries are coming in trying to dump pollution in their water where they get their fish from so I don't blame them for protecting themselves.
shout out to the somali pirates.
shout out to the somali pirates.
1)Do you deny that key EU nations, including, France, Spain, and UK and other members of this coalition of the willing are engaged in multi-million dollar illegal fishing in Somali waters?
2)why has the UN SC SC/951-which in fact allows land based invasion of Somalia by basically any nation in the name of fighting piracy and resolution 1851[2008 ] which authorized the current military build on Somali waters, removed any reference to the rampant problem of illegal fishing and the illegal dumping of nuclear wastes in Somali waters?
In fact the EU consider Tuna in Somali waters as belong to the EU and wish to protect $6 BILLION industry that will soon collapse just like the Atlantic fishery.The real pirates are EU fishing industry!

Some of you are so easily fooled its not even funny.
easily fooled about what I've done my research I know what's going on unlike you.
Then why not only attack the ones involved in the illegal fishing and waste dumping?
So far the pirates have attacked everything and everyone they can get their hands on, who can be ransomed off.
Preying on the innocent and unarmed makes you just as guilty. There is gray area in this for me. Like I said you wanna protect yourself, then do it, but dont do it by fucking everybody up.
What did that have to do with my post?
Why don't the pirates ONLY target the ships that are responsible for the things you posted. I never said those things don't happen, I simply stated that those should be the ships they pirate. Because if they don't allow you to do your job as a fisherman, then by pirating those ships would supplement your income. And if your pirating caused then to stop, you could resume fishing, hence allowing you to do what you want to do in the 1st place, right?
Also, i'm confused? How are they fishing AND polluting the Somali waters? If its a multi-million dollar fishing industry, why would you pollute the same waters you make money fishing from? Something doesn't sound right about that.
C/S. But you will always have ignorance in the world, as well as on BGOL. The first time those pirates fuck with the wrong ship from the wrong country and get carpet bombs dropped on some of their villages, you'll see a lot of "foul" crying by everyone.
I personally feel, that if you steal from me ONCE, I am going to make it SO painful for you that you will NEVER do it again.
Now I'm not saying Somali women and children should die because of what these pirates do, but where is the deterrent for this type of behavior?
Until there is a sufficient deterrent to piracy, instead of it being pure reward for the pirates, you will continue to see this. And the price of our goods and services will go up.
Honestly, this is why I cannot be in public office, because I'm far to radical. It would seriously be "for every ONE American you take hostage, I will kill 10,000 of your people....you won't win that battle....and you'll get tired of the death and destruction of your villages, before I get tired of bombing them."
Think if that "boat" was your "home", with your family and children in it. What lengths would you go to protect it? I personally would empty every clip.
Oh yeah, Happy Easter.
Lol, every one knows whats going on. You think you are the only who can read?
You are easily fooled by the idea that this is about protecting your coast. This is a way to make profits. If this was about protection they would shoot at the guilty. As it is they kidnap everybody. Tell me what was that American crew doing that was so illegal for them to get boarded and kidnapped.
well whoever is around they should be attacked they have no business being there if they don't want to get attacked.
POST OF THE YEAR!!!!
These pirates are often unemployed fishermen who have seen their fish stocks stolen by mostly European pirate fishermen. They have a choice of piracy or starving, and appear to have gone about thier piracy with as little violence as possible, and have created a business infrastructure for payment of ransoms that go over - among other places - London.
In addition Somalia is almost completely without government, and as Peter Lehr points out, the West actually prefers that to a it having a government with a Somali world view, and not a Western world view.
In other words this is once again a problem largely created by the greed and paranoia of the West. The pirates have responded to their very existential problems with courage and restraint.

As I understand it a total of about $74 million has been paid in ransome: less than is paid to one 'top' banker in a good year, and about 10% of what a private equity fund might hope to 'earn' on a juicy deal.
I know which pirates worry me more...
The much more organised pirates in the Straits of Malacca apparently take much, much more, and the shipping companies just pay up as a cost of doing business...
I think we are seeing a Roman Circus in which the mob is being wound up to demand a good, and bloody show.

The replies in this thread speaks volumes about some. It's really been interesting reading. Some of the "informed" posts look like cut and paste jobs, and you can tell that they were lifted from a biased site. Then you got others giving shouts out to the pirates, simply because they only see it as armed black men sticking it to the white man. Keep 'em coming. I do have a question though. If they are doing this for their country, where's the ransom money going? Is it going to the people, or is it being used to fund government programs for the people? Jus' askin'
They took another ship last night apart from the MAERSK LINE with Americans(its in Mombasa now)
Cant blame they are hustling like everyone else..ohh they have GPS and all the gadgets plus RPG's
A convoy of five trucks, each carrying five boats, goes through Galcayo on its way to Hobyo to supply the pirates
This Hobyo Branch store in Galkayo is supplying the pirates with food, drink and cigarettes. They call the owner to order what they need; then a truck goes from Galkayo to Hobyo with the items and sells them to the pirates for twice the normal price, partly contributing the country's inflation
you need to die.......violently
Yeah because the pirates don't have free will.
I don't think it has anything to do with free will. Operations like these have to be financed.
well said. we both are two of the smartest people in this thread so we understand what's going on unlike these other idiots who posting in here.
simple solution: stay out of somali waters
Well no one is forcing them to become thieves. And they're very likely financed by their thievery.
co-sign
Wait til they meet these guys...
fuck those cac's.
You continue to post factoids like these, but have yet to answer my questions.
