Anyone heard anything about the remaining pirate? Has a date been set yet for his hearing?
I have not seen anymore about him. Wonder if he got a "stimules check" and is just enjoying his visit?

Well we know for sure he is getting regular meals and free accommodation, thanks to the US taxpayers. Probably won't get a tour however ...I have not seen anymore about him. Wonder if he got a "stimules check" and is just enjoying his visit?![]()

Make the price of piracy more than they can pay. Never pay them anything and destroy anything they care about. They will get the picture.
Maybe this will explain some of my thinking about things. I truly believe people can do just about anything they want to do. But they need to know there is a price for doing it. I would like to go to town and take every dollar out of every bank. But I know I am not willing to pay the price it would cost me to do so. Therefore I will not be robbing any banks.It's funny that, actually. That's exactly what got them into piracy in the first place.
:giggle:

I actually like pirates. At least they are not sitting at home waiting and hoping for life to come up with their breaks. They decided to make their own breaks. Good for them!
Dawkins is a very nice person, also a good author, he writes well. I just don't agree with all his views however. I also did not like his participation (as indirect as it has been) with the Bus Campaign. I must say I have not really admired anyone that much lately, enough to want to have their photo in my Avatar. Dawkins is not that bad, but I find your views much more original than his are.I like Bakunin. He's something of a hero to me (as is Dawkins). I decided to switch to Dawkins because he's not quite as extreme.

Right, now what was it again ......EDIT: We have gone off topic, haven't we? Haha.

OK .... it was about the pirates. I was thinking yesterday when there was this news about Greenpeace ramming a Japanese whaling trawler, that possibly they could recruit some Somalian pirates to sort out whaling trawlers much more effectively than Greenpeace can?
Right, it certainly would spice things up nicely in the Pacific Ocean, while they are ducking nuclear missile tests from North Korea when they are misfired into the PacificWell, it would give them a job. And whaling is horrible. Two birds with one stone, methinks?

Right! There are a number of assignments that they can help with, and they probably will be pretty darn good at it too. They seem to be very resourceful fellas.If they're paid enough, they can get seaworthy enough vessels to combat the Japanese "scientific" whalers.
