- Autodidaddict, on 11/17/2008, -4/+233Update: The pirate bay's Peter Sunde has claimed full responsibility for these acts releasing a statement in Swedish that says in part..."This is what real piracy looks like *****"
- dariusm5, on 11/18/2008, -13/+185On a related note, ***** THE RIAA!
- LilPuke, on 11/17/2008, -2/+149And I was just beginning to enjoy $2 / gallon gas.
- 01010110, on 11/18/2008, -5/+126Pirates 1
Ninjas 0 - smartcause, on 11/17/2008, -6/+127I'd love to see lots of honeypot ships cruise through the area full of heavily-armed Navy personnel...make the pirates rethink their career choice.
- dha07030, on 11/17/2008, -1/+85Well I ***** that up.
- sezzme, on 11/18/2008, -4/+86Sheesh... they already have "bait cars" (google it) for car thieves... this concept can be applied to solve THIS problem.
Just take a normal merchant ship, fill it with mercenaries, set it loose in Somali waters, let the pirates hijack it, ambush and kill the hijackers and then wander the waters until the next bunch shows up.
Rinse and repeat until the pirate population decreases. No problem. - uHaveASmallDigg, on 11/17/2008, -0/+73You should have said, " Well I ***** that up."
- dha07030, on 11/17/2008, -5/+77Dugg for... well isn't it ***** obvious.
- inactive, on 11/17/2008, -5/+69That's ridiculous. On a side note, I can't get "Arrgghh, Matey!" out of my head now.
- jamaph, on 11/18/2008, -9/+67Have you seen that new pirate movie?
It's rated arrrrr - therusher, on 11/18/2008, -1/+55You never hear about the ninjas...
- NathanMahdavi, on 11/18/2008, -1/+51This is the real piracy the governments should be worries about.
- madeingermany, on 11/18/2008, -0/+47Really bad timing on the pirate's side.
If they had done this a few weeks earlier.... - Perk, on 11/18/2008, -4/+49But further decreasing the pirate population will only accelerate global warming!
- doiveo, on 11/17/2008, -4/+49If the captain was Robin Hood and he used pirate pixie dust to turn the oil into kittens and puppies then you could be justified.
However... "On April 21, pirates fired rocket-propelled grenades at a Japanese oil tanker, leaving a hole that allowed several hundred gallons of fuel to leak out." I will hope these people are not align with your political ideology. - fubarific, on 11/18/2008, -1/+42you know why it was rated arrrr?
Because of all the Booty! - tamuengineer, on 11/18/2008, -0/+38This is a Saudi ship. They definitely have the attention of the US now.
- DeathJux, on 11/18/2008, -3/+40It's ok, it just means you're a bad person.
- u12bet, on 11/18/2008, -5/+40Wow. Barrel of crude is down to $55-ish a barrel and the OPEC president announces that they are likely to cut oil production if the prices don't come back up.
Then, all of a sudden, a whole tanker (full of oil) is seized by pirates..
What a coincidence..
What's next? Some sort of malfunction or disaster in one of the oil refineries someplace?.. - SSPink, on 11/18/2008, -1/+36@1smartguy
You should change your user name. - Autodidaddict, on 11/18/2008, -2/+37According to butt pirates....
- Atsumori, on 11/18/2008, -1/+35You might want to reread the article, it's more like
Pirates 12
Ninjas 0 - flawlessjess, on 11/18/2008, -1/+32how do you know? real ninjas, don't get caught.
- antonio97b, on 11/18/2008, -2/+32yeah because that crew deserves to be held hostage, right?
- bainfu, on 11/18/2008, -1/+31Dude you are so wrong, how are they different from the old pirates? The old Caribbean pirates were ruthless killers pillaging any boats they could find, and were just as scurvy as these dogs.
These guys just have more bullets. - uHaveASmallDigg, on 11/17/2008, -5/+35Tanks for nothin
- jnisme, on 11/18/2008, -1/+30I've not seen a modern day pirate ship, but my guess is that they don't really fly under a skull and crossbones flag. How do you propose that these ships are identified to be 'sunk on sight'?
- Khast, on 11/18/2008, -1/+29Pirates of Somalia : Crude awakening
Disney should be all over it any day now!!! - Clbull, on 11/18/2008, -5/+32Do what you want cos a pirate is free
You are a pirate - jeffness, on 11/18/2008, -4/+29Does that mean that global temperature should be declining soon due to the inverse relationship of pirate frequency to global temperature?
/ra-men - martalli, on 11/17/2008, -4/+28If Somalia was an intact country and this was their navy pirating, or the pirates were being tolerated by the government, The US and other navies would have already sunk their navy and seized their waters. It is time for the combined fleet off the coast of Somalia to simply say they will sink any pirate craft on sight.
- Ajajadude, on 11/18/2008, -0/+22Well, there's always the old "shoot first, ask questions later" approach.
- pyrotix, on 11/18/2008, -0/+22Yar har fiddle dee dee
- vbullinger, on 11/18/2008, -0/+22Don't you mean ***** the ARRRRRR IAA?
- Pinkertinkle, on 11/18/2008, -1/+23Pretty sure the Chinese have the world's largest standing army.
- DickyT83, on 11/18/2008, -5/+26I'll tell ya, it sure is awesome to be reading about real pirating in today's age.
- nut854, on 11/18/2008, -3/+24brilliant
- martalli, on 11/18/2008, -1/+22I'm sorry, but "Pirates of the Carribbean" was just fantasy. In the real world, pirates are criminals, deadly criminals.
- subterfuge, on 11/18/2008, -2/+22***** GENETALIA
- Ajajadude, on 11/18/2008, -0/+20Yeah, but once they start messing with oil distribution, all bets are off.
- jeo77, on 11/18/2008, -0/+19Anyone notice the little video clip on the side? These pirates almost look like ninjas... maybe they're some sort of hybrid.
...which is terrifying. - mikethesecond, on 11/18/2008, -0/+19umm read the article - its estimated that pirates have nabbed 30 MILLION in ransom this year alone. I'll tell you what was going thru their brains when they pulled this off - "JACKPOT!!!"
- inactive, on 11/17/2008, -4/+22I think
I think if and when these pirates are captured....
Can we please have pictures of them walking the plank and/or shot and dumped over seas. - theCreator79, on 11/18/2008, -3/+20Shut your ***** face uncle-*****!
- Atsumori, on 11/18/2008, -0/+17True, but you do see their end result, assassinations. So... I'll give you JFK.
Pirates 12
Ninjas 1 - jonnyfatman, on 11/18/2008, -7/+23Real piracy looks like *****?
- flowaus, on 11/18/2008, -1/+1625 crew...
(doesn't anyone actually read the article anymore?) - doiveo, on 11/17/2008, -3/+18@ captric. Sorry bud. It's the other way around. It is always the addict that is the most desperate for the product. The dealers are already rich and can find other means of making an income but the addict has no choice. The oil on that ship is part of the global supply, and therefore, of great American interest.
BTW, you have an odd way of showing your patriotism. -
