Don't let em' have it.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;25902013]The original ad says STEAL not DOWNLOAD. For those of you who have never seen it.[/QUOTE]
they are saying that pirating is exactly like stealing. therefore the words are interchangeable. except when you do interchange them, it looks fucktarded because pirating is nothing like stealing what so ever.
[QUOTE=markg06;25898481]They should rig up some explosives in the money so when they have everything they blow the pirates up.[/QUOTE]
The pirates specifically said that they were counting the money before they leave the ship. I think they'd notice the explosives.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;25898655]Alright, so the USA, which has no money, needs to go to one of the worst places on the planet that's also half way across the world to deal with pirates, that don't threaten them in the least, to get a couple ships back for a south Korean and a Singaporean company.

Stop reiterating that the USA has no money.
Just because you are in debt doesn't mean you don't have any money.

Pirate1: Isn't this a bomb?
Goodguy: No! That's a new form of currency!
Pirate2: Seem legit.
Don't we already have a ship patrolling the coast of Somalia?
Maybe there should be a change or an exception made in international law so tankers can carry a few PMC's or something. Seems like the most logical course of action to me that doesn't involve a huge intervention.
Does anyone know where to get a job as a pirate? I can't go all the way to Somalia.

Well you could start by torrenting more than just Linux Distro's
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;25898025]Holy shit, why aren't the pirates rich yet![/QUOTE]
Because they're simple thugs who work for syndicates based in Yemen and Dubai, the pirates involved don't earn shit. Also, I love how international maritime law and all the faggots like thisispain crying "oh the humanity" hamstrings our ability to deal with the pirates who are in general, lackluster combatants.
stupid niggers

Uh, good bye I guess.
[QUOTE=hegrec;25898373]It would cost more than they paid the pirates.[/QUOTE]
No, because the UN would turn on them for their horrific crime against humanity.
It would be funny if the ship was hijacked again when these pirates released it.
I know the Canadian and Russian navies patrol those waters, but they really don't seem to be sending a clear enough message to them.

That's international maritime law for you. The optimal solution here would be to hang them all, but no, we have to send them to goddamn court.
The somalis have a fair cause: europeans dump waste on the their water and steal their fish.
Not in that order, though.

Yeah, the exact same Europeans who dumped waste in their water are the ones sending ships through the region, right?
Good thing the Somalians are only targeting Europeans vessels, and are using the wealth to clean up the waste. Pirates are such good Samaritans.
Haha, look at these people aruging over the US not doing shit for Singapore and South Korea.
I'm an American and I'm here to tell you that if either of them got nuked by a warhead, I honestly would not give a flying fuck.
It's not our fucking problem.
If I were a pirate I would steal an oil tanker and distribute the fuel to impoverished Somalians.

Very selfish of you. I'll be gone if someone does decide to nuke us!
Anyway, everyone on board is safe and alive.
