I never thought about that. good point. There aren't dumping laws. So the cruise ship pulls in, dumps, and takes off to wherever. That pisses me off dude. There's no way they should be dumping ANYTHING there, but that is mainly the government's fault. I agree, it's not about religion. Good point.

mohammedbadfartah - Y'see, your argument just ain't valid. As soon as you make it about 'taking your resources' you've lost it. Reason being, you lot wouldn't know what 'resources' were if someone smacked you between the eyes with them - even if it was a coconut. Truth is you all sat about in your paint and penis gourds for a 100,000 years until we came along. All you did was shag and eat each other. What happens when Africans are given control of 'resources'? Zimbabwe, for starters.

checkthebrakes - I like the sound of that but instead of audio commands to surrender, keep the cameras rolling and pepper the decks with remote-controlled Gimpies. You could televise it live and call it "I'm a knuckle-dragging prick - Get me out of here!" That's one reality tv show I'd watch.

It is simple. Let the Navy eliminate the threat. Kill enough pirates,and they will stop.

Huh? These are cowards. They will find a easy way to make a living. If we start killing them,they will go back to killing each other.
